The Last Drop - First short film of the year


I'm back in Matt Harisson's class, Director's Workshop II, in which last quarter I made four short films. This time we'll end up making about 3 and they are all concentrated around dialogue and story. The first short film had to be a voice-over film, meaning we could hear somebody speak but we could not see them on the screen. Starting from that point I decided to make a film in which the dialogue that was being said was contradicting with the images being shown. I wrote the script for it last Thursday and shot it on Sunday. Marq Lee DPed on it and was amazing as always. Mark played an excellent poor husband, while the talented Jamie Kale provided the voice of the not-so-nice wife.
So here's the result: THE LAST DROP
Enjoy and let me know what you think!

You have an onset monitor?! That's pretty fancy. You got this up on YouTube and here mighty fast, unlike "Dust"! Maybe you'll have to give me a DVD of that one to borrow so I can see it better than looking over people's shoulders in class at the small computer screen.

Do you have lights? If so, what kind? Just a simple Arri kit? Does your cinematographer do the lighting for you, or do you do some of that? I haven't done any lit interiors for our class yet. I'll probably need some help (and lights!) when I do that, even though I used to be a grip/electric a long time ago. My memory's way too rusty on how to light.

Keep up the good work, Max!
