I, Punjabi released online (straight8.net)

Post by sufian »

Hiya guys,

Got back from London last night. The straight8.net event went really well. This was the first time I went to it and it was very exciting watching your film on the big screen.

Other movies were really good too. Would definetly be entering again next year.

I've put my film on my site here:

I think it turned out pretty well. The focus was nice and sharp and the images bright and colourful. Just need to work on my timing for the next one ;)

Do let me know what you thought of it. Constructive criticism is always welcomed.

Fun! :lol:

I hope SuperHero has recovered? :wink:
Very well done and a nice transfer, too. (Rank??)
The divX download was fast also: 2 minutes.

Hey Sufian- congrats on a fun little film :-)
Must have been amazing to see it on the big screen- did they project the actual film, and if so what sort of projector? How bad was the grain when enlarged that much?
Loved the look of the bathroom mirror shot- nice depth. Did you forget the filter for one of the outside shots?

Thanks guys :)

@Dr_Strange_Love & VideoFred
I didn't transfer it, the straight8.net guys did.

@Sparky
It was a great experience seeing it on the big screen. To be honest, the grain wasn't noticable, like almost it wasn't there. I'm not sure what they used to project the film.

Mostly technicalities here.

I like that the hotspot is only barely visible, or is it vignetting? What I didn't like that much was that flickering, slight registration issues, and that the bottom of the frame was visible at the top. But that's not your bag, it's done by the Straight8 people.

I really like the humor. :) I was only slightly able to listen to the soundtrack, how were you able to record a song to it if you could only do in-camera editing?
