Hey yourself | A Huntington University Arizona Short

Hello guys! Today, I'd like to show off my first ever (very) short live-action film that I've directed! As I've shared in my previous video, I've enrolled at @huntingtonuniversityarizon696, and we've recently gotten the opportunity to film some "exercise videos" for one of my classes. I got to act in one of them (and I'm not sure if that version will ever be made public, but yeah, there's that), but I also got to direct an alternate version of the same video (with some changes from the original prompt, as we weren't gonna submit this to the class and our professor gave the okay on that). And that's what this is; this is technically my first live-action directing debut! Admittingly it's not perfect, but it was meant to be just an exercise, and we're gonna learn how to do better; so don't freak out there. Still, I think I did fairly well with my end of this video. I managed to get some good shots in here: like the panning shots (0:09-0:22, 0:35-0:43), and the focus shot (0:28-0:33)! Of course, not every shot was done just as well: like the attempted dutch/low-angle shot (0:45-0:55). Still, most of the shots turned out great; being well directed by me, and (mostly) executed by our Trinity Potter (with me doing a few shots she couldn't do)! Directing the actors, on the other hand, was a little harder. Kameron (the director of this short's original version, by the way) especially was hard to work with, especially since he wasn't an actor before this. Jozlyn, however, was an angel (in terms of being directed)! Even with Kameron not hitting the mark all the time, his (and Jozlyn's) performances turned out great in the recorded footage. Speaking of the footage, our professor, Phil Wilson, had to convert the footage from BRAW to .mp4 files for me to use in InShot, and even still, getting the clips ready to use was a nightmare! The editing software wouldn't cooperate, so I had to combine the clips I wanted to use into one big file! Not to mention, getting the audio with spoken lines to be loud enough was also quite the pain in my backside! Aside from all of that though, editing was smooth sailing! However, I also managed to figure out the (subtle) story and themes of this short with the editing. Admittingly, I didn't think much about the story during shooting, but the editing gave me some good ideas that I would run with! I'm gonna keep the meaning of the story a secret for now, as to keep things ambiguous. However, if you really wanna know, I may explain it in private. "Don't tell" though. Anyways, I hope you found this short film from me amusing and/or cool, and I can't wait to show you what I may have cooking in the future at @huntingtonuniversityarizon696!

(Also, I hope you find the logo on my thumbnail intriguing. It's a sign of what's to come in the future.)
