My first 5x5

19th Oct 2012

Since I can't upload my confidential studio work, I am sharing this short video I made with you. I'm pretty happy with it!

This video was made for the 5x5 vignettes group, where you have to make a film with 5 hots, each of 5 seconds duration. This is my first film, and so, obviously, I wasn't thoughtful enough about choosing my shots, but I basically wanted to film night time ferry at panaji/betim, Goa.

I had more shots than I needed and so they all weren't of 5 seconds, so I had to cut some and wished some were longer. Also, I had MAJOR focus issues since I'm capturing video after really long! :-s Won't make those mistakes in the next one.

This one is a 5x8, that's 8 shots of 5 seconds each. And here's the final edited submission.

Enjoy, and let me know what you think! This is a great learning and confident boosting exercise for young film-makers.
