I filmed it with the 7D, Canon 50mm 1.4 and Tamron 17-55.

Here is a post on my blog about the process of creating it

nice job man, thought it was well put together.

I really loved the score, made it feel very dark.. almost eerie.. Also, your foley work was really well done. I could hear everything perfectly, and it was very crisp.

A few recommendations.. Watch your head room, a few shots you either have too much or too little.. often having the viewer become distracted with the surroundings. Also, that dolly rig you were using was very very shaky. The shot of the garbage was a clear indication, and it lasted a long time so it was very noticeable.

You can make an awesome dolly with PVC piping, skateboard wheels, aluminum angles, and a piece of plywood. I googled how to make one a few years ago, and that dolly still works great.

Overall, I really liked the concept. It was well though out, and the dark and mysterious tone really brought me into the story. Also, the locations you used were really awesome. Nice Job!

Thanks!

YA that dolly really wasn't that great. But we didnt have time to make a new one and I've seen that youtube video about the PVC piping.

Thing is.....its actually WAY more shaky than what you saw because I stabilized alot of the shots.
