that's exactly how it is (even though you don't have to post a trailer publically to feel it, i'm not sure what you mean by that). you're constantly battling against your own shortcomings and the restraints of the budget, and you're always silently cursing yourself after a shoot for the decisions you made or didn't make. but you still have to cut together a good film, and you very often can. that feeling in the gut is natural even for the masters i think, and it's not because you or the film sucks but because you never get exactly the footage you had imagined. the next time you'll be getting closer, but new issues will arise that you didn't think of, so you'll get that same feeling anyway.
when mattias gets to that point, he will be a successful filmmaker ... until then he is a learning filmmaker still making fundemental mistakes at the standards and protocols level of filmmaking.
i'm a pretty successful filmmaker if i may say so myself, at least i get to work and my films get seen by broad audiences, but i'll also always be a learning filmmaker. that's part of the beauty of it. i will die learning.

Picture was good, although the lighting was too flat for my tastes. The first CU of the girl looked really scandinavian, you know dull and without too much life :lol: I think that's a good thing in this clip.

any scene in particular? this is from a best light scan made to preserve as much detail as possible and we'll tweak the look a lot in the online, so i'd be very happy to hear your input. i know it's hard not knowing the story, but maybe you could give it a try?
