Nice, very cool, have more?
Thank you! I do have more. Here's a short commercial I did for a class project, advertising the Film Noir Foundation.
Nice commercial.
On a trip to Seattle and the West Coast shot some video clips and this homage to Femme Fatales, Film Noir, Neo Noir, and Pulp Fiction is the latest result.
On Vimeo, enjoy:
She Breezed
Hudson, NY was the filming location for the bank heist and the climactic finale in Odds Against Tomorrow. Called "Melton" in the film, the town still has a wealth of great locations and exudes a wonderful atmosphere after dark. In Girl Trap our latest Homemade Noir Scarlett (Joan Denyse) is lured into danger. enjoy
(the corner intersection where the bus pulls up and where Harry Belefonte sees the traffic accident is where Scarlett heads to at the end of the clip)

Neo-Noir
Hello everyone,
It is my first attempt messing with noir style as well as first posting.
The film behind the link is not a traditional noir, however, lot of research was put in to the project so that a fresh voice could be found, and I hope I managed to achieve that. The attempt was to mix Film noir, Neo noir, Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns, Aki Kaurismäki - especially a neo noir 'I hired a contract killer' and British gangster genre, so quite a mix. It basically is an outsider view, as I'm Finnish, to contemporary Britain put in the world of noir. The film takes place in so called 'Britain Nowhere' which is nowhere in particular yet it could be anywhere, and the underlying issues are social exclusion, migration and alienation. I'm still hoping to submit it to festivals which is why the password protection. I'm hoping to get feedback as I'm also currently in midst of developing a feature film with in the style. I'm about to start the second draft of the screenplay. Thanks!

loved the bike motif, big deals by small timers who put more money into dressin their
dummy than to transportation! Also well crafted noir labyrinth of stairs, walls n alleyways!
This is cool. Favorite part - chase scene (6:30 - 11:40). Choices in hilly, graffiti-dark locations and lighting were compelling; Using the terrain to provide dramatic camera angles and mixed edits of details, like railings and feet slapping steps, with running sequences were compelling. Ambient sound and building "music" through the scene generated urgency. Least favorite -the beginning (00:00 - 01:45) I didn't find this scene gripping enough; you almost lost me. The lighting is too bright and the acting stiff; I'd skip it-- Agnes is introduced in conversation at the bridge. The dialogue bits about cocks and holes at the end .. (shrug).
First of all thanks for watching, and thanks for the comments. I appreciate it!
Films are always about big deals, no matter how puny the deal might be...
"The dialogue bits about cocks and holes at the end .. (shrug). "
The justification for the language was that outcasts are outcasts also because of the way they talk - anti social behaviour, alienation and social exclusion. I didn't want to give it any glamor in that sense which many films do. Try watching it without the audio track and see what you think.
The stiffness in the beginning is a reference to the style of Aki Kaurismäki, and yes it too is not for everyone. Don't agree about the brightness though, again a stylistic choice.
Thanks again!
nice first attempt
artopolus: I saw this BBC film call of entry and thought of you; thought I'd pass it along.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/opp...e-film-callout
