    Contract: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viTBBR7AioE

    A short film by Brian O' neill about a hitman who is being tested on his loyalty!!! this short looks good with solid camera work and some decent sound and make up!

    Monday Morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuF1kOrN1lc

    A short movie about monday morning blues with a twist!!...This film has a nice tone! The quality aint great tho, its a ghetto copy! [i.e it was filmed off tv because it was only on tape]

    comments are welcome!

    hey man, really liked Contract, really well done, great choreography and direction, bout three camera shots i didn't like personally, but from the final product that didn't take anything away... what did ye shoot it on and what filter did ye use, was it a camera filter or on the edit suite, nice cool blue look. also, do you know what recipe for fake blood did ye use, sometimes the blood looks crap when a filter is added. Big fan of the cool blue look in shots,

    Watched contract just now - fair play. Moves nicely, good acting and story flow.

    thanks lads, @ trendkill: my cousin is big into directing and i believe he just played with the white balance or something to get that colour, i know it wasn't done while editing anyway cause i did that!!! lol

    it was shot on a panasonic digital camera, nothing special.

    and about the blood, my other cousin made that out of syrup and some other stuff mixed together, i'll get the recipe and post it up when i see him.

    the fake cuts and bruises came from a 3 euro hollowen make up set!

    thanks for watchin and thanks for the comments!

    kudos anyway, but a bit of advice, always white balance off of white. I noticed a bit of difference in a couple of the shots. but, any colour changes or filters can always be added in the edit suite, whereas if ye had imported your footage, saw it didn't look good on the full screen, then it would have been a lot harder work trying to colour correct it.

    C Heck out this, for 89 euro i think you can get the program and download it, its really good, also check out the free downloadable fx preset library that creative users upload.

    Its great. I know the recipe for the blood, maple syrup or golden syrup, with two drops of red food coloring and one drop of green food coloring,(one can add cocoa podwer if desired) then one can then dilute it with water, shake it around to get thinner blood, used it alot before, plus you can put it into someones mouth as its not toxic... but it begins to smell after a while, especially if its left on clothes.

    Anyway, keep up the good work and keep us posted of other stuff. Also,might be a stupid question, but where are ye based from. It prob says it right under ur username..... knowing me i probably didn't check it,



    edit: ahh there you go...wicklow.....
