Oh, i think i fixed that, does it look okay now (the greenish black)? it was on purpose :)

Great use of the 35mm adapter, If you guys need any more 35mm equipment, i'd be interested in providing it, just to be part of your project.

Let's do it! Thanks for the links.

So very true. I noticed that as well. It was a good choice.

Thanks George. Let us know when you're in New Orleans again. brightkite.com/people/tbachoo7

It was the one thing you wished for, was it not :)? haha...thank you!

Yes, it was! haha, wish come true! :D

Agreed. Props to the crew behind the camera who put this together - the production standard is awesome.

I'm confused! But I did say.....go ahead- ask yourself....

Just messing with ya. If you ever shoot on the East Coast. Preferably New York City or it's surrounding boroughs. Let us know. Peace.

Agreed- Four Tet did me right by me.

Thank you so much Joe! High compliments, thank you....

Wow! thanks for the compliment....I was afraid about the long format. Thanks for the encouragement!

I know how you feel. I have been on the other side of the screen- my heart about to burst, wanting to do something beautiful.

Thanks so much! I am enjoying the conversation going on over there:

The MorningNews.org picked it up too (in the morning links section).

I think this mind is set too out of America... Actually I hope we was wrong

I am from Minnesota in the U.S. and thought the same thing. The thing is, if someone from a country where the government steals the food supply was asked this question of course their answer would be different.

In much of the "third world" people's main objective is to just stay alive. I think if this was done in any large "Western" city around the world, we'd find that many of the answers would be the same.

For what it's worth, I would wish that Jesus would return to Earth before the end of the day.

Great comments.

I just had another shitty day. I watched the film again and life doesn't seem so heavy..... again.
You should call this piece "Gin and tonic"
Well done

tears of hope....i hope....

What does that mean? I googled it, but nothing came up.

One of my clients thebusinessofleading.com coaches people to lead and understand the language of leading. It is dynamic.

4Tet! Album = Rounds

Thanks man :) I wish I could see it with such fresh eyes.

Lets do it man!

Sure man,

I use an intermediate code "Cineform" (trial) to import the footage, then it makes it easy for the processor to handle the footage. I'm not on a fast machine, but it works.

Cineform comes with some simple, but powerful color correction plugins, that allow you to make corrections while not effecting the performance or requiring rendering.

Basiclly, on the shadows, I crushed mostly the reds, but a little but of green and some black.

On the mid tones, i did some tweaks, on the highlights I crushed the reds a bit more. Not much.

Then on the other plugin, I brought up the brightness, because all that crushing reduces the overall visibility of the subjects, then I raised the contrast.

Applied an unsharp mask, 4.1 radius, 50 percent amount.

Thats about it!

Thanks very much, very insightful!

I knew someone would ask :) I'm not sure if there are fifty people in this video, although we did interview over fifty, and I have a special surprise"extras" short video that will follow soon. Thanks!

Thanks so much! It was a hectic 2 weeks, Gaustav, root canal, this video....

Thanks JF. All the music is off that album.....

Four Tet, Album "Rounds" :) Thanks!
