Here are a few frames grabbed from this little aboriginal film i recently did. Shot mostly on the 18-85 but with the 18-50 used for steadicam and hand held work.

Looking good. I often think we are spoilt here in Australia when it comes to locations - so many facets to the geographical tapestry that is Down Under. Nice work.
 
And some more stills...sorry for the low rez jpegs:)

I saw this short last night at the Movie Extra Tropfest screening in Brisbane at the Suncorp Piazza. The film itself was good but they were showing all the films on an outdoor LED TV, which was extremely irritating. LED screens like that are good for showing the score at the cricket or video at distances greater than 80m or so. The gamma was also way off, the jump between completely off and the darkest shade of colour was very annoying. It's a shame to have screened it to the 700 or so people were there like that, a $2000 HD home theatre projector would have done a better job. There was a high contrast black and white film later on in the competition with subtitles which were illegible.
 
Andrew - we had different issues with the LED screen in Melbourne (interlaced scaling which produced huge motion artifacts, especially on the skateboard film) but thankfully at least the gamma seemed correct as that subtitled film came through fine.

Perhaps somebody at Tropfest needs a kick up the arse about screening quality?
