Update on my project

[Alex_W]

Thanks andre. Supersens offered to host my short so it will certainly be available when it's done. I need to get my own domain name for sure!

Alex,

It plays fine, here on my slow 633Mhz internet computer.
To bad we can not download it.
So I can not see any info about this divX clip..
Size? Sample rate? Key frames?

At the beginning of the clip I see damage on the emulsion.
And the scene with the Polaroid has blown out highlights on the man's hands. Color has changed, too.. Must be the auto settings from the Flashscan.

But the close up scene... man, this is perfect! Skintone is very good.
Never tought the Flashscan could deal so well with negative.

Fred.

The damage to the emulsion is not structural, i believe. The shot with the polaroid is indeed slightly out of balance with the rest, but that's not because of autosettings. I was there the whole time with a timer. I have no idea why this shot turned out like that, but i am sure it's not the negative that overexposed, so it'll be ok.

Yesterday i've finished my short film called "Hans" and turned it in together with a portfolio containing some 4x5" and some 35mm b/w photos. I will get a notice from the filmacademy in a couple of weeks, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. I will try to get a small version of it online in the next couple of days, i wonder what you think about it.

Good luck! Hope it works out well for you!

Yeah, good luck to you Alex. I was unable to watch te footage (said there was an error in bottom left of my browser), but the still looked great. If the footage looks like this, I'm sure it will be great!

Congrats for the completion, keep us updated! And post the damn thing!

i'm trying to get it down to a nice size but it's useless. With an mpeg4 compression at 10% of the quality and max bitrate of 200kb/s it's still 220mb. You will have to wait until i bring Supersens a DVD and they put it on their website, unfortunately. Unless someone has a better idea

it sucks because i really want to show to you and everyone else

[mathis]

how long is it?

[mattias]

Yeah, 120 min if the numbers are in kbit and mbyte respectively. If by kb you mean kbyte then 200 is actually very high. 40 is a good start for high quality web movies. Quality should always be left at 100%. /matt

[Alex_W]

that's some useful info mattias, thanks. I thought 200 was pretty low. I'll try again later. It's 10m 58s long.

[mathis]

I just encoded a 7:25 video to wmv with 20MB resulting file size and it looks really OK.

[Alex_W]

that's great mathis. I'll start working on mine in a couple of minutes
