The movie project I've been working on for the past few years is finally finished and being submitted to a few festivals. Here is the trailer:

ANY film (err, story, hee hee) that have a person inspecting a reel of film, has my vote of "yes"!

I don't like time travel stories, I simply don't have the time!

(...or DO I?) [Wink]

-I always like black and white!

It looks great, Ty!

Thanks, guys, for the feedback.

Steve - maybe we need a digest version for the time-challenged?

I really admire the solid rock-steady image. I'm so tired of motion pictures and TV shows that use shaky seasick inducing handheld cameras. It's so distracting.

I liked the name Gerry Anderson turning up. Was in a homage to the producer of Thunderbirds, Stingray, UFO, Space 1999 etcetera?

William - the entire movie was shot with the camera on a tripod, except for a couple of scenes in a car. No panning, no tilting, no zooming. The sense of movement comes from the cutting (we hope!).

Brian - Yes, that was a nod to that Gerry Anderson. At one point there was a passing mention of Grandma Sylvia, but that shot hit the cutting room floor.

Yes. Cutting is what really makes a movie 'move'. Besides, in real life, we don't see the world as if we're standing on a boat in the middle of a stormy sea. I believe the deliberate hand held look grew out of documentary film making and TV news footage. Hand held was out of necessity. Since that type of footage was of real life and real events, adoption of this look in narrative film was, supposedly, to lend a sense of realism.

Ty was kind enough to send me a copy, and I thought it was great! Very good story - there was a couple of times I had to think about "when" a character was. And believable too, without lots of fancy special effects.
