That's right! There it is! For the first time ever, Sweeney's short film debut is available online for the masses! The film stars a young local actor whose name I can't remember. He probably won't be reading this.
I should explain this. I know it's kinda stupid (but I'm quite happy with it.). This was very much an experiment. One day, I realized I had never edited anything. My camera was a small, fairly cheap digital Kodak. Every shot exists basically for me to try to cut different things together into something coherent. I wanted to do several cuts for simple actions. Any elements of an actual storyline just kinda happened.
Oh! To avoid any copyright violations (although I'm sure I'm still breaking laws), the music is the fourth track of the There Will Be Blood score, "Eat Him By His Own Light." It was written by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood. The entire score, not to mention the movie, is fantastic.
I WAS AT THE RED CARPET DEBUT!
ReplyDeleteIn TWBB, that track is never played in its entirety (or maybe I just didn't notice it). You can hear a bit of it just over two hours in (after they cut forward in time--when we see Plainview again). Good movie.
