Damn right!
The camera has so much capabilities to make your film be taken seriously by the watcher, especially with a 35mm lense, to give a nice approach to a cinematic look. This in contrast to lots of the vids out there, that give you that homevideo look, instantly reducing your interest.

Nice short story!

Thank you both so much

It is really refreshing to see a short film with a real story on vimeo.. I'm getting sick and tired of all the time-lapse films even though they might look awesome.

It's Tibetan monks chanting for the arrival of the Dalai Lama

Thank you so much! The character designs were all done by the wonderful Ms. Sarah Ann Head, who is technically an amazing animator but also a wonderful costume designer!

Hopefully I can get the sound fixed up completely for the new cut tonight

There is a distracting line, and I don't know what causes it. It happens whenever I export my HV20 1080p footage using Premiere CS3

Thank you so much for your support, I love this style of music myself, but I feel that among the general populace it's unappreciated

Thank you! It's great to see so many people who actually enjoyed my music choices (many people require repeated viewing)

I used a Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 with a custom 35mm adapter, and I color corrected on Premiere CS3 with Magic Bullet.

Thanks! She watches this page so the praise can be passed.

Technically it's Robert Frost...

I thought it was "Dreary, dark and deep"? But yeah, I picked up on the Frost. Wasn't aware it was in Death Proof. Lol.

The ending is broken right now, and should be fixed tonight

Thanks so much. Hopefully it can get into some small festival, rough as it is

Thanks! I wonder how many people catch on to that...

Thanks so much! The original story concept was more inventive, but I'm happy with the way it came out. The fixed version should be released later tonight.

Thanks! It took a long time to really get the transitions in the first minute just right.

Thanks! (My intent exactly)

:)

I was trying initially to focus on the feminine aspects of the story, leaving as much of the masculine out (but obviously leaving the wolf as a sort of blend between the feminine and masculine components)

I thought that the wolf's nemesis was really hunger, and that the woodsman was a sort of deus ex machina to keep children happy. I tried to stick closer to the original story, where there were no happy endings, just a shocking parable with a dark and somewhat twisted sense of reality.

In the original story Red would have been eaten by the Wolf on the spot, had it not been for the Woodsmen working nearby.
Without that element, there is no reason for the Wolf to let Red go. Letting her go for no apparent reason, is more 'ex machina. If hunger was his nemesis, he would have eaten Red, then gone off and eaten the Grandmother. The Wolf also represents lust, and the lust was also held at bay due to the Woodsmen working nearby.
I'm thinking, if you wanted to emphasize the feminine aspect of the original story, you could emphasize naivete' and gullibility, for which the original story was created to warn against. Most of the rest of the story deals with the id.
Just a thought on Little Red.

Have you seen "Freeway" with Reese Witherspoon? Great handling of the feminine potential in Little Red Riding Hood story.

Thank you!

Thanks, all though I wish our tripod had been able to function on the shooting days

Thank you so much, I'll pass that along to the actors!
