Have you seen any Polanski's short films that he made while at Film School?

One of them is literally just a guy walking up some stairs into a room and then stabbing a guy who's lying asleep in the bed. That's it. But it's really striking and effective.

It is a little bit like a student piece in ...

:lol:

No.

Sorry!

Ignore the post about lighting conditions - just re-read your original reply! :roll:

Also, I noticed with the movement was quite fast still. Was your son moving at normal speed (eg. putting hand to his head) or did he slow down his movements for the camera?

Thanks regular8mm.

I liked your clip. Can you tell me a bit more about the lighting conditions apart from the flashlight. There seemed to be some kind of background light (maybe I'm wrong...).

Cheers

I was thinking about using some kind of battery powered lights, but I was wondering how I could make the light source seem explicable and naturalistic given the surroundings.

Interesting creative problem!

Hello everyone!

I'm a newbie to this forum - and also quite new to Super 8mm, so go easy on me!

I'm looking to shoot a silent short film which basically going to be a woman being followed by a man along a canal towpath at dusk/night.

I'm not going to be able to get a genny down there so it's all ...
