5 D Mark II Short Film NSFW

Take caution that there is a very small portion of nudity in this. Nothing crazy, but it should be noted. This was shot over the course of 3 days as an impromptu project.

As always, thanks for watching!

the shot at 1:36..why is the reflector in the frame? Also the beginning seems far too blue for me.

EDIT: after watching the whole thing, the reflectors are in the shots many times, the lighting has no suggested source, they just randomly glow colours, there's no transition between events and clips, and no real story line..not well done at all IMO.

Thanks for your opinion...appreciate it!

The refelector was left in as one of the characters is a photographer and that's a part of her gear. It's a prop, not an accident.

Maybe, but how is the audience to know this? we don't know the actors, it has nothing to do with the story.

It's in there...might not be spelled out enough for ya, but it's definitely in there. Right after the 4 minute mark you see Paris pick up a camera and you see photography gear...a huge 47 inch Paul C Buff Octabox, to be exact. plus a tripod sitting right in front of it. A few minutes later her lover mentions the wall that was put up the day of her "Shoot" and that she hasn't taken a photograph since... Her not being able to "take a photo" has everything to do with the story...as it's largely about a woman not able to move on after this horrific incident. Whether we know that she's a photographer or not is irrelevant, but seeing the items coupled with her picking up a camera and then hearing her roommate say "You haven't been able to take a photo since..." SHOULD suggest that somewhere in here there's a person that takes pictures, thus a reflector in the shot is justified.

I've just never been the one to spell things out completely or force things down someone's throat, so-to-speak. Sometimes it works, unfortunately for me it just didn't for you on this one.

Thanks again for your input!!

Wasn't a fan of the actual rape scene but good vid man!

Not an easy thing to shoot either, believe me.

Thanks, appreciate it!
