Post Mortem

So right as i was editing the final cut of my film and i cant remember why but part of my workflow required me to look at all the shots in black and white and it sucked becase virtually every time it looked better. So it made me think about the next project; I might do it in black and white, the problem is although it looks kinda cool, whenever I watch a modern film in black and white it brings me out of the film becase I'm just not used to it. I feel like i need a good reason to do this other than aesthetics, i just cant for the life of me think of one...

This is pretty sweet, the compositions look really nice.

Justification for a b&w film is easy - set your film in the Great Depression or some other time people remember as b&w.

wow a coment from someone other than my mum and only two friends, not only that someone I have heard of, Ive had your blog on my google reader account for a while now and i really like your work, its the first 3d thing i have really tried on so it was interesting, i was cheating allover the place to get decent compositions but i think i could have pushed them further... anyway how did you find yourself on my blog, i thought i was the only one who looked at it
