    Very nice! Michael Emerson of "Lost" and his real-life wife on this movie. :)

    How much the HV20 was used btw on this feature film?
  •  
  • Mark Holmes 3 months ago
    Hey Eugenia! Thanks for the shout-out. We only used the HV20 for three 4-second establishing shots we had to go back and get months after the primary shoot. All the rest was shot on the Panasonic HVX-200 by our wonderful Director of Photography Elizabeth Santoro.
  • Eugenia Loli-Queru 3 months ago
    Cool. Did you use any 35mm adapters btw, or just straight with the HVX200?
  • Mark Holmes 3 months ago
    We went straight to HVX; no adaptor, due to a limited budget, time and lighting constraints. Have a Letus Extreme shipping soon, though. Will use with a DVX and HV20 now, and a Sony EX3 later.

    will it come out on dvd in uk ?

    how much does Panasonic HVX-200 cost ?

    nice color work

    DVD in UK? Hope so! Our first film, "29th and Gay", was distributed in the US by TLA Releasing. "Ready? OK!" is just starting it's festival run this month, though.

    I believe the HVX200 is running around $5,000 US these days.

    And thanks for the nice words on our color work.

    Hi! Thanks for sharing this trailer. I saw the movie last week as part of the FilmOut San Diego Film Festival and thought it was great. You're making alot of Michael Emerson fans very happy who were jealous that they couldn't attend the film and thought maybe they'd never get to see him doing the "I've Got Spirit Yes I do!" cheer. :-) I hope the film does well and gets distribution as well as a DVD release. Good Luck and thanks again!

Congratulations on all the awards you've received already; I am certain it is just the beginning! My hats off to James for his brilliant vision for this film.

    Guess I have to wait for the DVD. I am very anxious to see your film, it looks great. :o)
  • Mark Holmes 2 months ago
    Thanks Roger! Checked out your videos and added you as a contact; nice work. It's good to run across Vegas supporters on Vimeo. It's about to make a nice jump in June with the new DVD Architect with Blu-Ray authoring and burning and the release of Magic Bullet Looks v3 for Vegas.

    the trailer looks great, so funny. did some of the idea come from "But I'm a Cheerleader"? is it still playing the festival circuit or is it on DVD yet?
  • Mark Holmes 2 months ago
    Thanks Gecko; the film was actually inspired by real events from the writer/director's childhood.
  • Green Gecko Films 2 months ago

    Who the hell is Benjamin Linus? And what's the Orchid Station? And what year is this?

    Benjamin Linus is the man in the TV show LOST , his real name is Michael Emerson. Orchid Station is a key station where the Island can be moved in LOST.

    Chinese? I love the internet. The world has become such a smaller place because of it!

    Nice video! I got Vegas for editing home movies, but it's nice to see what it can do professionally. Congrats on all the awards, too!
  • Mark Holmes 21 days ago
    Thanks - Vegas is really underrated, but it can be difficult to use in the professional world. Everyone and their brother is on Final Cut now, and to be honest, we have a Final Cut setup three feet from the Vegas station. Kind of jump back and forth. But nothing beats Vegas for speed, and it just "feels right" to us. It's difficult for people who are used to the old A-B roll style of editing though.
