I remember when you first told me about the idea for this project. It completely drew me in. Even though I got to be involved throughout the process of creating this, and I’ve seen it countless times, it never ceases to amaze and captivate me when I watch it. Incredible work from you and Jenna! So excited that it’s finally here for everyone to see!
Correction, incredible work from the THREE of us, YOU included! Thank you as always for being my partner on all these projects and for all the support you continue to give me. This film wouldn't have happened without you. Love you to the moon and back! ❤
This is a great short film! I watched the bts video first, and it's still so impressive to watch the final thing. You did a great job with such a short amount of time!
Looks and sounds stunning, and in such a short time frame! Congrats on you and your crews success. Thanks for sharing the link on Reddit. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Subscribed
No not really, I actually don't really get hung up on chromatic aberration all that much. I just always try to emulate film as much as possible, and love the look of some blooming and halation, especially in combination with film grain.
I’m using the Phantom LUTs by Joel Famularo in combination with the Dehancer plugin to really help achieve the film like look. Might do a proper colour grade breakdown of the short film soon.
Your shots, music and editing is on point. I have some questions. 1) Did you shoot solely with the Sirui T1.2 Nightwalker lens? 2) Did you use any anamorphic lens or did you reframe 16:9 in post? 3) Where your shots in Slog then color graded in Resolve? I love your shooting style and I hope you do a complete film of this. 😊
Thank you so much! To answer your questions: 1) Yes, this whole short film was shot on the three lenses in this set. If you haven't already seen it, you can watch the behind the scenes video here ruclips.net/video/Zd810lXFIac/видео.htmlsi=DTkHiLch1DWcklHp 2) I reframed in post, but shot accordingly knowing I wanted the anamorphic aspect ratio. 3) Absolutely, I always shoot in slog3 and do all my grading in Resolve. Again, thank you so much. It would be awesome to do a feature length version of this one day!
Thanks so much! Yep clear image zoom definitely helped, although some shots barely needed it as the vignetting wasn’t too strong depending on which focal length I used.
Absolutely! They vignette to varying degrees based on which focal length you use, but with the FX3’s clear image zoom, it pretty much goes away. Some shots barely even needed it, since I don’t mind a bit of vignetting if it’s not too strong.
Hello! Thanks for the amazing content as always! I'm trying to signup on your website to get the few free stuff. I tried 3 times with 2 different emails, but still, I didn't receive a confirmation email. I checked the junk mail too. So could you kindly help me with that?
grey bars are so bad, distracting.....and footages are so dark...not so sharp n clear. its pain in the eyes. but filming, story, cinematography, music is good.
That’s so strange. It plays normally for me on both desktop and mobile. The video was exported at the proper 2.39:1 aspect ratio, so there’s no black bars baked in. So if it’s misaligned it would be a glitch on RUclips’s end. And yea I prefer traditional black bars when viewing, but RUclips does this weird blurred background thing now which can be quite distracting.
I don't normally respond to these kind of comments, but since you took the time to watch (assuming you actually watched all the way through) and comment, I'll take the time as well. It's totally 100% fine if you don't like the film. You may not like the story, the cinematography, how it was filmed, the acting, or any of a million other things about this short film, but to say it's not a short film is just ridiculous. If you actually watched beyond the opening shots, which were more a 'mashup of shots' to set the scene, you'd very quickly see there's a story here. And if you put on your thinking cap for a few minutes and used some critical thinking skills, you may have even noticed there's 2 stories going on here. There's the literal story about a girl working on a farm who is seemingly abducted by aliens, and there's under the surface story about a girl who is stuck in an abusive relationship, who finally gathers the strength to leave. She's being pulled to the light, or a better life, but is still scared of leaving the dark, or the familiar. And at the end, she decides to walk into the light, even though she's afraid of what could be on the other side. I've spoken to countless people who watched the short film online, and many more who watched it in person at the film festival it premiered at, and most people picked up on the dual nature of the story right away and very much enjoyed it. So again, you don't need to enjoy the story or the film at all, that's the beauty of creative works like this. Everyone has different views, likes, dislikes, and opinions, but to completely write something off as not being a short film and try to gatekeep what is and isn't considered art or a film is exactly what's wrong with the film and filmmaking community. Be better than that.

Holy moly guys!! Completely captivating. Incredible how you guys conveyed all that emotion without any dialogue.
Everything about this short is great. The audio, cinematography, and lead performance all shine as outstanding. Great stuff.
Wow. I'm mind blown. Such a great cinematography and her acting is amazing.
Wow, thank you so much! Much appreciated!
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 that was awesome man. Everything especially the sound effects of it too.

The sound design is incredible!
Thanks man, appreciate it!
I'm beyond proud of this film! Well done Alex!
Me too Jenna, thanks as always for being down to work on these projects with me!
I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing the link from the previous video. Amazing what a little camera can do
So happy to hear that! It really is an amazing camera.
Incredible short film, the cinematography was exceptional and the acting fantastic! Congratulations!!
Thank you so much, always appreciate the support!!
Awesome video! Love how you shot this on sirui lenses. congrats on your success!
Winna Winna chickin dinna! Profound concept executed with much art!
That's probably one of the most cinematic short films I ever saw on RUclips! Congrats, it looks awesome :)
Wonderful, and I love the BTS before watching this !!
Thanks, so happy to hear that!
Congratulations on this! This was amazing 🔥 . Please do consider doing that color grading breakdown. Your tones are soooo pleasing 😊
Great acting &
amazing cinematography.
Great work! Excellent
Loved the cinematography, and the acting was great. Thought the "silent argument" scene was fantastic. Great work
I'm so happy to hear that, thanks so much!
Well, that was excellent! Hard to believe you shot it in a day (more or less). Great job! :)
Thank you! It definitely was not easy but still had lots of fun making it.
This is a great short film! I watched the bts video first, and it's still so impressive to watch the final thing. You did a great job with such a short amount of time!
What matters is how much it was shot on an FX3 and a Sirui lens guys
Nice! I just ordered the 24mm Nightwalker, and I can't wait to use it!
That's awesome to hear!
so good and professional

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! We're all very proud of what we created here. Definitely have more projects in the works so stay tuned!
This was awesome! Well done!
Thanks so much man, appreciate it!
Do you feel you needed to add the red halation to cover the chromatic aberration of the lenses? I personally love halation, just curious though
No not really, I actually don't really get hung up on chromatic aberration all that much. I just always try to emulate film as much as possible, and love the look of some blooming and halation, especially in combination with film grain.
Really good!
Thanks so much Kidchris!
hwy man , thanks for sharing this is fantastic , hope for some more awesomeness in future.
No problem, I'm so happy to hear you liked it!
what LUT are you guys using?
I’m using the Phantom LUTs by Joel Famularo in combination with the Dehancer plugin to really help achieve the film like look. Might do a proper colour grade breakdown of the short film soon.
CAN you film in 4K with the Fx3 and the sirui night walker ?? Because and can’t…
Huh!? Of course you can lol
Yes you can! You'll just have to crop it a bit or zoom in a bit to reduce some of the vignetting.
Your shots, music and editing is on point. I have some questions.
1) Did you shoot solely with the Sirui T1.2 Nightwalker lens?
2) Did you use any anamorphic lens or did you reframe 16:9 in post?
3) Where your shots in Slog then color graded in Resolve?
I love your shooting style and I hope you do a complete film of this. 😊

Please Tell me about white balance throughout the shoot
Nice shortfilm! how did u manage the vignetting of the nightwalker lenses? Did u use clear image zoom?
Thanks so much! Yep clear image zoom definitely helped, although some shots barely needed it as the vignetting wasn’t too strong depending on which focal length I used.
Aren't the Nightwalker lenses for super 35 cameras? Wouldn't they vignette on the FX3?
Absolutely! They vignette to varying degrees based on which focal length you use, but with the FX3’s clear image zoom, it pretty much goes away. Some shots barely even needed it, since I don’t mind a bit of vignetting if it’s not too strong.
@@AlexPerri ah makes sense. very cool. thanks!
This is great
Definetely getting the Nope vibes (but my bitrate is fucking suffering)
❤❤❤ Espectacular
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Love it ❤
Thanks man, much appreciated!
@@AlexPerri welcome ☺️
This was amazing I get the whole set in the mail today for my Red Komodo 😮💨
That's awesome, hope you enjoy them!
is hard to tell the quality of the lens when a lot of film grain is added!
nice
i think thats how gawkx yutube channel able to make hi cinematic yutube videos

grey bars are so bad, distracting.....and footages are so dark...not so sharp n clear. its pain in the eyes. but filming, story, cinematography, music is good.
They have them in movies, but yeah the bottom black bar seems to be more higher. I think it's not exported correctly
That’s so strange. It plays normally for me on both desktop and mobile. The video was exported at the proper 2.39:1 aspect ratio, so there’s no black bars baked in.

pretty mediocre stuff, I'm not sure where "short film" lost its meaning but this is just a mashup of shots with some vague "story line"
I don't normally respond to these kind of comments, but since you took the time to watch (assuming you actually watched all the way through) and comment, I'll take the time as well.

@@AlexPerri facts!!!! This is well said. I enjoyed it
