Usually I just "favorite" videos on the class YouTube Page when I find one that's relevant to what we're doing in class, or just stands out as cool or inspiring; and hope that you'll check them out, but when I came across this one, I wanted to make sure you had a chance to see it.
The short is called Tick Tock and was created by Ien Chi for a film festival at Emory. Chi says of his film: "Never have I put in so much effort into a single short film. This project is the result of hundreds of hours of work from many people. Originally made for Campus MovieFest, this film is definitely the biggest scale and most ambitious project I've ever done."
What's exciting about this video is its unique format, shot all in one take, then reversed for the final effect. Some more information about filming: "Filmed with a 5d mark ii camera with a 24-70mm lens on a steadicam merlin. We did 36 takes to get the right one. Morgan and I went running weeks before to get our cardio into shape for the shoot. Yes, the final film is all in one take. Everything was shot on the Oxford College of Emory campus."
What do you think? What are your initial reactions to the film? What can you incorporate into your productions? What do you think about the quote, did it surprise you in any way? How about the speaker of the quote? What critiques do you have? Compliments?
And for those who love to watch the movie extras on a DVD, here you will find the "behind-the-scenes":

I think this video was fascinating the way it actually looked like he was running backwards.It actually didn't dawn on me that everything was going backwards so i watched it a second time.I can tell it took a lot of effort and time.-Dzstani Rainer
