Short film, Phone, online!

"Phone" (Quicktime, Medium, 4.3 MB)
"Phone" (MPEG-4, Medium, 4.7 MB) You have to right click-save as for it to work.

Mic: audio-technica ATR55 telemike
Software: Final Cut Express HD, LiveType, Soundtrack

The movie is all white but I can hear it.

[Clarence]

Oh...I'll try encoding it in MPEG.

EDIT: Okay, it's MPEG-4 also. Check up at the first post ^

[DEDFX]

[BrownCowStudios]

I can't get either one to work.

[Clarence]

Hmm...

[Clarence]

Okay, I tried a different format and tested it on a PC, NOW it should work.

Phone, MOV, Medium

It was alright, nicely put together.

[Kentertainment]

Wow that was some pretty good music for self-made. Very good short film, suprised to see a gun wasn't involved.

[reflexive_cinematics]

LMAO yeah


Awesome Idea! Two thumbs up!

[iCEbLuEORbitZ]

that was pretty funny. so diid you record the music w/ the atr-55. i am just curious about the quality of this microphone, how do you like it? if you could, do u mind recording just like 10 minutes of someone talking from a couple feet away from the mic (plugged into your computer) and then send it to me as a 128kbps mp3? if you can thanks a bunch, if you cant post it here i'll give you my email adress. thanks

Oh that was great! Some of the shots were a little dark, but it gave it a good atmosphere.

Liked how you did the credits too!

[rep22]

that was very good! i liked it! the ringing started to get to me after a while lol...

[maj_barnes]

After I awhile I thought it would be there.

[Clarence]

Thanks! I didn't even know anybody had responded this because we were away.

Iceblueorbitz, I didn't record any sound with that film...the speech was voiced over later. The cell phone sound is from SoundDogs.com. I'll send you over a clip of the ATR55. It's a nice microphone, it has two modes: Close-Up and Telephoto. Probably not the best out there but it works.

Yeah, it's based on a "true story." This happens a lot.

After I awhile I thought it would be there

eh?

Thanks, Kentertainment. I'm just starting to get the hang of Sound Track, and I finally got a MIDI keyboard hooked up, so next time I'll be doing a completley original sound track. Hopefully I'll have actors next time, too.

For some reason, when I export from Final Cut Express, the video doesn't work on Windows, so I don't think I'm encoding it right. I had to use iMovie to get it to work.

Thanks for all the supportive comments!

THE PHONE! I knew after awhile the phone would be you know. Don't want to spoil anything.

[Clarence]

Ohhhhh. Oops. Here's a fun fact: The phone doesn't acutally work, because it was dropped in the ocean by my little cousin, and it was "water-damaged." Here's another: In the vertical shot of the drawers, looking down, the tripod turned away the minute I closed the second drawer, so I had to cut out the third.

That was a Good film. i liked it the audio was very good. i thought of that idea once with the remote.

[jcdenton]

Sorry still didn't work on my old machine.

[Truggy]
