The Room

I had made a big deal of it when i had posted my first student film. I am going to be a lot more basic with this one.

The project for this film stipulated a 6-8 minute piece, shot entirely in one location with the location playing a central role in the film.

I personally think it's a better effort than my first one, and moreover this time around i did everything myself. which felt quite good. for those of you interested, there is no post-production work in here. no special effects either, unless you count animation as an effect. which no one does.

The Room was made as part of my MA in Independent Film Degree. This particular film was part of a project which decreed that the entire film had to be shot within a certain location, and the location was meant to be a key character within the whole film. Everything, from the story to the camera and the editing was done by myself, using a rig and a tripod.

let me know what you think. please, if there is anyone still reading here, don't be as silent as last time.

While i'm here, some fun facts. during the stop motion, i made some major blunders like leaving in glasses or my hands in some shots, which led to some really shoddy photoshopping i am sure the eagle eyed among you can spot. the scissors used in the final sequence also kept hitting the lens, so that some of the shots have stab marks over them. but my favourite bit was that when i was shooting the books for the stop motion, one book kept falling down and was completely unreliable. yes, it was the afridi book. gotta love it :)
