- InBloom - My Short Film

[skategriggs]

Waddddup Silverfish,

This is a film I directed myself at Interlochen High School Arts Academy for my junior year. It took me about 4 months to prepare, 3 days to shoot, and 2 months to edit. Its been the biggest film ive ever pulled together. I have to thank everyone involved in my crew and department at interlochen for the amazing job that did in order to make this film possible.

Here is a short synopsis:
Mark lives isolated in his home tucked into the woods in order to deal with his severe case of OCD. His living standards have corrupted him to the point where Mark must escape, so he relies on his disorder one last time to determine the day in which he can save himself.

The film was shot on my Panasonic DVX-100b with my home built 35mm adapter. Dylanger Bates shot the piece and did an amazing job with adapting to the controls and techniques of filming with the adapter, and I want to note how thankful i am.

Furthermore, all the music was given to me with the legal rights to use it in my film. Thanks to Korey Dane and Mogwai, they were very gracious in allowing me to use theyre music.

Other scoring, and sound effects (like the first 45 secs of film) were composed by myself with various sound effects from the BBC sound effects library.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the film, my apologies for being late on the expected release, it was very hard for me to finally allow myself to export the film and call it quits on trying to fix every issue i had with it. In my mind, it wont ever be finished, but i hope its good enough!

That was infinitely better than the crap videos our school comes up with.

Whoever played Mark did an excellent job pretenting to have OCD, the girl was just ok.


Great video, hope you make some more!

edit: I would give you 5 stars but apparently rating is disabled so here you go * * * * *.

Thanks, and actually Nik, (the guy who played Mark) actually has OCD, so adapting to the script was very easy for him.

Oh and the ratings on youtube... it was disabled because they were preforming changes to the website, so all commenting and ratings were disabled for a couple hours. Its back up and working now though.
