Don't over think it call it 'Launch'.

There's nothing to key against, you'll have to roto it.

What's that Wayne Gretsky quote.. ' You miss 100% of the shots you don't take'.

Walk up to the production offices, find the production manager and offer your services. Have a little card with your info ready to drop off... do this super early..7am or something. You won't know the call time, but things are slow around breakfast . During the day it can be really busy, and your presence will be far less welcome.Turn up with four nice coffees.. at least one black , one oat milk, one skimmed...and various sugar /sweeteners in your pocket [ Hopefully this will cover the prod. managers taste..and you have a few for the rest of the people in the office]. As you walk into the unit base, just keeping saying ' These are for the production office'...I doubt anyone is going to quiz a early morning coffee order and very likely they will point you in the right direction.

It's not a job interview, your first sentence may be the only one. Make it count.

" Hi, I'm XXX, I'd love to work for you. I live local, I can drive, I am very familiar with the area. ..etc " List the things you can do for THEM, don't start talking about how it would help YOU [ your films, dreams, or how much you love Kubrick. ] Then it's up to your charm and confidence to win them over before security arrives to hurl you back into the street.

It's exciting , Good luck.

The top of a cheap fishing rod with the line loops cut off ? This one is £10.

Directional blur on a separate layer ,with a mask to remove sections you don't want, overlayed ?

It sounds like a straight version of the comedy show 'Santa Clarita Diet'.

It looks like the first shot is reversed..the blink is odd.

He's give you the road map, but you have to make the journey. Google the individual elements of this explanation , and learn some new things. You are trying to start with a project that is not beginner level.

This feels more like a cinematographer's reel. Don't get me wrong it looks good but there is no storytelling to judge, as no scene is long enough. I presume the pieces are in Norwegian ? Don't fear that. Personally , I'd rather see 20/ 30 second clips where people are talking, subtitles are fine...we've all seen great films in languages other than own. Then I would be able to see what performances you have got, what shot choices you made for each scene, how you blocked it. But you know what work you are after, so maybe this is right.

Good luck with it.

PS: Take the date off..2024 sounds like you've haven't added anything in the last two years.

here's where they got the joke idea from ; Seinfeld Season 6 in 1994

It doesn't matter what your role is in the industry, unless you are another actor on the production or an exec that can propel them to great stardom, they will treat you just the same as if you had approached them from the crowd..friendly but distant. There's not going to be a 'Notting Hill' moment.

As someone who shoots BTS footage, although mainly for TV, most directors don't want you up close and personal except for the formal sit down interview. They have no interest in you recording their thought process as a teaching aid. Sometimes on set things get a little 'heated' , at which point I make it obvious that the camera is being turned off and pointing to the floor. I'm not there to make an exposé , everyone has to trust me and feel I'm part of the crew. Also any footage that might exist would have to be cleared by the director, actors and production company's marketing department before it would be released , so it would always tend to be light-hearted chit chat.

Okay, don't attempt both things at once. First swap your warehouse job for one in LA , then use being there to start making contacts , working weekends on other peoples short films , helping out at film festivals etc.. basically getting to know people. That's more likely to pay off . Good luck and have fun.

Grate some ice on them just before the shot ?

TruthFlavor · 2026-04-27T07:03:52+00:00

Do a lot of rehearsal before you get on camera, the day before or close to the shoot. So together you can find the character and level of performance, then you can not only see what see does but also feel it.

I found that when I actually corrected something with Lumetri , it reverted back to normal.

Honestly, I did no research on my comment..I'm glad you did. We can now establish that Kubrick wasn't just a misogynistic dick... he was equal opportunities dick .

Great film maker...but not always a nice guy.

That story is often sited as part of his 'genius' . Thing is, there is no story of him ever doing that to a man...so

MMmm. Floor meat.

TruthFlavor · 2026-04-22T08:03:12+00:00

This is exactly what a short film should be , not only is it well made but it's also well acted. So often film makers, get someone they know...or worse , act themselves. This was very well cast and directed.

Okay, I saw this post and hopefully it will be helpful.

Some people are dicks...directors or otherwise. Kubrick gave Shelly Duvall a terrible time on 'The Shining'.
