A few months ago I decided to help further my ambitions in film by setting a standard for my filmmaking. Every serious task I do must be one step better than the one before it. This is currently a personal exercise so I can help improve my skills one step at a time. The videos will not have to be the best films out there, but just better than the last one I did… for now at least.
Previously I had done a few shorts with my colleague The Good Sir. These shorts were an experiment in rapid film production. Each one was created in a day. They can be viewed on the Good Sloth’s Youtube page located here.
More recently, I was able to get my hands on a Nikon D90 through work. This is when my friend Joe and I conjured up the idea of Quantémoc. Its a test for both my own talents as well as a trial testing the D90 for video production.
Here are two raw scenes from the short:
Quantémoc confronts Brad McKinley
Quantémoc meets a homeless man:
This is it for now. Keep on checking for the final trailer for the short. I should have it up soon!
