Great shots, not a bad little budget on this guy yeah?

looks great, i really want to see the whole thing.

I loved loved loved it.
congrats

Awesome. I really want to see it.

oh. my. god. the cinematography is beautiful.

Are these colours are natural? To me it looks over saturated, I am not sure I maybe wrong!

Amazing. This is some of the sharpest HD footage i've seen on vimeo. Did you apply any sharpening filters, or is that clean? Either way the quality of the video is stunning... very curious what your rendering details were?

But yeah, looks really great. Kudos.

Phillip, I must say your stuff was made for vimeo (or perhaps vice-versa). It looks SO good on here.

thanks guys. None of it is sharpened. quite opposite. the detail on the adaptor free footage had detailed dialed down to -3 to match the Letus footage with detail turned off.

All graded with magic bullet, saturation, blacks etc are all subjective. I messed around until I got the look I liked.

I am not editing the final film, so I have no idea what look the director will go for with this.

Am very impressed with Vimeo, such great quality video.

also, this was shot in 5 hours. We had next to no budget. The explosions were one take so we just had to go for it. A lot of fun though! We had 60 pages of shots to do. We managed about 45 I think in the end.

Brilliant.. I really like what you've done with the colours.

I'm guessing the faster shutter speed probably makes it look a bit sharper also.

yes a little.

The way it's shot and the colours give a little "Save privat
Ryan" thing to the film,

Really nice done!

I dug it.

thats so sick, it looks so real.
good job making it.

Lovely Philip, lovely.

Fantastic filming.

Wow, really nice!

incredible

Curious about the rendering; it looks stlightly tooled with.

Nice. What lens did you use with the Letus?

Lovely work!
Why did u choose the Sony rather than a Panasonic hvx 200?

sold my panasonic for the ex1 for many many reasons!

All my lenses are listed in my blog on my website philipbloom.net

Footage looks fantastic. The Henryk Gorecki music works very well too.

Well done bro. Tempting me with the ex1.

nice!!!!!!

so amazing !!! and the soundtrack gives specially dramatic atmosphere.
Good job !!!

I am very impressed. The color of this short definitely pleases the eyes. Great work. You inspire many a No-Budget filmmakers. I look forward to more videos. Peace.

You did an awesome job with this (like most of your work I have seen). You have to dig these trenches yourself?

Looks really good, did you shoot it at different speeds in camera, or speed it up / slowed it down in post?

Great cinematography. The hue and value are exceptional. Excellent soundtrack.
I expect I'll be seeing your films at my local Cineplex.

Just curious. When and why did you shoot some of it without the letus? Was it for the wides or to use a higher shutter speed?

Very nice Philip! Thanks for sharing!

The color and movement is wonderful. I just want to know if we can pow wow a little bit about your settings in Magic Bullet. I have a film at vimeo.com/755082 which has a short scene involving WWI, and the look you've achieved is almost exactly what I'm looking for (with a little less brown).

Epic. Very well done.

The full version by Craig Spenceley is here vimeo.com/822828

I just hope I didn't ruin the trailer too much.

It's really good Craig. Very good edit!

the vignette is post processed? also collors with magic bullet?

absolutely beautiful. congratulations to the photographer

Bloom, you magnificent bastard!

This is amazing, I like the sense of place with the crystal clear shots. How did you get the pyrotechnics? This is what i want to get into when i move to london, Im already taking a Film ND course with 3 a levels.. should i go onto uni & film school? Hope you can reply.

Wow really amazing work

That was a good camera, until they announced the Panasonic HVX 200a :)

awesome cinematography! A+++

Very good work ! Very good. And the music is great !

some nice work in regards to the look & feel

This looks really good.

Are you going to post the full short film?

It's awesome looking footage though. It's very very well done.

This is just so fabulously cinematic. If this had been commissioned for BBC2 I wouldn't have been surprised. I think you're setting another benchmark here.

Dop is incredible! fantastic! ill be getting my ex1 soon!!

Looks cool.

In the action scenes, frame rate looks like lower than normal, how do you achive that?

Philip, are you possessed by Andrei Tarkovsky's spirit? Amazing stuff. Very inspiring. Further affirmation that film is dead.

Looks great! I can't wait for the film :)
