THE QUARRY (4 min action short)

[sonnyboo]

I recently finished re-editing this old Action piece I did a few years ago. I looked at it with a bit more mature eyes as a learning moviemaker. I shortened it by 2 + minutes from the original cut.

I am open to any opinions/reviews anyone can toss my way.

Shot with a Canon Optura (the original, with horrible grainy low light, but a cool 16:9 image for a single chip camera) and edited on Adobe Premiere 6.5 for the new edit.

I checked out the short. I noticed one thing that I look for in ALL movies, continuity. The last frame of the guy that was being chased when he gets on the roof, he takes off his jacket, but when hes shot from behind his jacket is on! Just a little note, I loiked the choice of music in the parking structor scene, but the female voice doesn't fit well. Keep the music, loose the vocals. Pretty good 4 min. short Keep it up:D

Thanks for watching. The jacket thing at the end is intentional. It's a non linear, jump cutty style choice. It's meant to be disorienting and a bit off center.

Thanks for the good notes.
