Thanks Phil, I need to reload exposure room with a different version I am having problems with their compression. I did storyboard the whole shoot completed in under 3 hours! It really does help to prepare in advance. I am playing with the blacks and pushing the limit intentionally on the output to get that moody feel.

Some nice shots in there, Mark. Thanks for sharing. Must check out some of your other stuff.

Thanks Craig, I must say your editng of the trench and the final product looked very good. Well done. Mark

Very nice and "moody", I like how you slowly reveal more and more of the actor with that moon-shade color of light. Well done! By the way, what is this Exposure Room site? Do you like it better than Vimeo?

Mark, this is a beautiful piece....lovely study of the actor, hypnotic camera motion and excellent interpretation of the dynamics of the melodies also.

Thanks for sharing.

Steven, Thanks for your comments...much appreciated

Interesting contrast of the characters slow movements and the music. Very interesting.

Thanks Ben, Watch this space or more interesting shorts

I like the DOF on the eye and the face around 2:50-3:00. Cool.

Nice I like the Colour and Contrast and the concept as well

Thanks Devin

Great track, melancholy, thanks.

Nicely shot. It's cool that you didn't try to edit in the fast tempo of the music.

Thanks for sharing. Really like the shots.

The dolly walk over the shoulder with the Canterbury Latin script on the wall is my favorite camera move in your piece.

Provocative and well executed imagery throughout. Well done, sir.

Hey Mark you dia a great job on this. thanks for sending me the link

Nice!

Thank you this was excellent.
I honestly believe shooting in B&W is awesome way to set and alter moods of viewer.
Color has its place but in my opinion B&W rules !

Nice Film Noir look. The images are stunning and well matched with the music. Good Job!

great! I like it ~ thats the place where we meet!

Simply stunning, you captured the mood perfectly and to use one of my favorite tracks from Snow Patrol - well I feel spoiled now ;-)

Excellent work and thank you for sharing...

Very atmospheric and moody - well transmitted and mysterious. Splendid work - congrats to the actor too.

Horace on the wall at 3:29 is clearly the same as this: flickr.com/photos/tourainesereine/2386653735/
but I cannot find out whether it is a tapestry, a parchment, a print or what.... Curiosity killed the cat...
But if you can say, I'd be interested.

This same song was also used to great effect in "Gavin and Stacey".

oooohhhhh..... i say!!

This is gorgeous. It's pure gold to have an actor like your leading man in this short, and you captured his emotions with great power and vision. The focus on simple emotions and sentimental objects brings a beautiful feel to the film.
