Hi Guys!

This is a short film that I wrote and directed back in 2008-2009. I'm especially very curious to hear what people on this forum think of it, as I have great respect and admiration for many of you guys on here. I really hope You'll give it a watch and hopefully also give me Your reactions to it :)

I you like, you can watch and give the film your vote here: [video]http://www.ekkofilm.dk/shortlist/film/den-fremmede-/[/video]

YouTube-version:

Was it shot on RED? No. But it was originally supposed to. Due to too little knowledge about RED ONE, my cinematographer chose to stick with film. We shot the film mostly on color film Super16mm and a few shots with 35mm. The 'Black and White'-look was later done in post and the contrast was enhanced by the way the final print was processed and finalized and the choice of 35mm print. The digital version available to watch here, will only display what was done digitally in post and(sadly) not what was enhanced on the final print.

I don't regret that we ended up shooting on film! But I'm still curious to know how the film would've looked - and turned out, if it was shot on RED ONE. This though, will most likely be the last film I will have shot on film :)

Anyway! I really hope You'll enjoy this. Many thanks!! ;)


Kindest regards

Nuka

This made me realize how much I'll miss film when it's obsolete 20 years from now. Great short.
Should be moved to cinematography though.
 
Thanks guys! I really appreciate it! ;)

@Mohamed - You're probably right about the other section. I guess I didn't want to piss off any RED-purists, haha ;D So I found it most appropriate to post it here ;) I'm glad this made you think of celluloid film :)
 
well done. your film looked great!
 
Beautiful. Really. I wasn't set to the pleasure of looking an intense and well directed story..on Vimeo.
Thanks for posting
 
WOW! Guys...thank you!!! :) I'm SO happy you dig it!

Very nice...a quiet, restrained, classy little 'twighlight zone' episode

I loved The Twilight Zone as a kid - still do! I used to scare the crap out of my younger brothers after we watched an episode, haha :D Evil big-brother ;D Thank you, John! Your words really meant a lot! :)
 
Nuka, if there are any stories you'd like to share about your experiences creating Odd One Out - Story idea, Casting, Production, Post, you name it - I'd love to hear them.
Did you do a making of?

Have you entered Odd One Out in any Film festivals? Doesn't posting this on the net reduce the film's eligibility?

What do you have in mind for the future?
 
Nuka, that was extremely good.

I attend film schools and I find that most short films made by film students are hard to watch, but this one was outstanding. If you ever feel the need to start making blu ray copies of it, send one this way. I would happily support you in buying one!

Hi Bill,

The film has it's own facebook page with (some)info: da-dk.facebook.com/​pages/​Den-Fremmede-graduation-film-2009-The-National-Film-School-Of-Denmark/​80850656171
I'd love to answer all your questions, but I suggest we do one at a time so I don't fill up 4 pages here on REDuser with just one post, haha :D
The film has run it's film festival-course, so no problem posting it on Vimeo. I just want everyone to be able to watch my film - Vimeo is an excellent way to make that happen :)

So to answer your first question, Bill - about the story idea - I wanted to make a film that was entertaining and contained elements that fascinate me as a filmmaker. But I also wanted to tell a personal story with themes I feel really passionate about. I really wanted people to talk about the film after they'd seen it! I had a very specific character in mind from the very beginning that I wanted to build a story around. It was a weird, eccentric "female" character who looked shy and fragile - and alien. But in reality she'd be VERY powerful. I also knew that her name should be 'Anna'(a name that reappears again and again in my stories). I also knew that I wanted the film to be black and white(one of the reasons was basically that I didn't know if I'd ever get the chance to do it again, in a more commercial sense), so the design of her should fit well in that "world" - along with everyone else in the story. I actually have a sketch of her(somewhere) that I did while making notes during the development of the story - maybe I can make a scan of it and post it later. Bill, please let me know if there is anything else you'd specifically like to know more about ;)

Ok. Let's do it like this; if any of you guys have any specific questions, I'd be happy to try an answer them all. But it would be best if it's one question at a time ;) Cool?

Thank you very much Michael! I'm pretty certain that I wont make any Blu Ray copies of this (though I initially would have liked to do so after it premiered, but we never found anyone who could make 'em). I'm hoping that I in the near future will be able to upload this in it's full HD glory for everyone to enjoy. Trust me, it looks(and sounds with it's 5.1 Dolby Digital sound!) much, MUCH better on the master! ;D

Anyways, hope you keep making movies man!
