Cash or Credit (Short Film) // Shot on BMCC 6k Full Frame 

Oh snap! We're getting a breakdown?!

Great work. Absolutely love the color grading

Just came over after watching the breakdown! What an incredible short. Would love to watch a whole feature with this kind of look and style. Great work 🎉

I don’t know if I’m going to hell, but I burst out laughing when he threw the can at her.

This is amazing, never stop. Your time is coming🔥

This turned out amazing!! Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

This was absolutely phenomenal! Great work! Cant wait to see what you do next!

Absolutely great stuff.

Great job! This turned out fantastic.

Amazing work. The fact that you spoke about how you did it in the BTS video for 20 minutes should show people how much goes into 2 minutes of film. It really is a great look on the colors, location. Would love to see a whole movie like that.

I'm a bit late but this is so good there's no words to describe it. You are an amazing filmmaker and thomas is a very very good actor. I'd like to be a movie director one day ❤️❤️❤️

Amazing work! Fun idea and visually stunning.

So good! Now to watch the breakdown 😮

So good man

This is peak! 🙌

This was fire

👏🏻.👏🏻.👏🏻. My compliments to the writer/director/(all involved) great stuff

This was very good

I'll never understand why film guys buy these expensive cameras just to dirty and kill the image with a ton of grain

Great grade and lighting. Really sets the tone.

Very Nice Colors !

This was great!!!! Ha! I was that kid once! I didn't take action like he did though, Oh the anxiety! Very well done!!!!

He’s a chef the way he be cookin🤌🏾

This is a amazing

great job

couple classic musicbed jams

That was great!!! Saw the breakdown first.

Took a while for me to see a good short film shot on this. U what all equipment was used?

Broooo this is so relatable 😂

great work. would love to see the grading process! :)

Dope!!

Oh sir, great 👌🏼

idk why youtube showed me this but im glad it did

That was amazing, I could feel the child anxiety as the items were passing through the line 😢

The baby has good music taste :D

Looks good did you intentionally cross the line with the first action shot? I initially thought the clerk stuck him.

so cool

🔥🔥🔥

Aweaome

Inspiring work! Everyone's saying it in the comments but the color grading is really really good

Sooooo good😄

That kid needs an oscar

Great colours, love the twist, very Danny Gevirtz-esque! Was it intentional to break the 180 rule for the shots going back and forth from the cashier to the boy?

relatable

Love it 🔥 Which lenses did you use ?

Can you write about the equipment you've used for your camera ? Please if you don't mind

Looks good what lenses did you use?

What's the name of the country song played with the credits?

Literally epic when u go to Hollywood rember me

Great job, production, color grading, acting! I feel when the kid throws the can, it wasn't exactly clear what happened. Too quick. In your BTS, you showed the kid throwing against a plastic panel which would have been a great POV shot there. Cons: hard to relate to the kid even though we've been there. Didn't feel like the cashier was "messing with him" as much as doing her job out of robotic habit. Maybe if she sneered or rolled her eyes when the mom left, viewers would empathize with the kid more. As it is, it looks like an intro to a serial killer film. Either way, looks great.

The kid is Homelander... could be a prequel for boys

wow!

I love the composition, rhythm, and colors, but there’s a lot of noise in the image, isn’t there? Is this an intentional style, or is it because the Black Magic camera handles low-light situations poorly

My anxiety went through the roof watching this 😅😅😅

0:52 ooo 😮 got it

You and your team have potential to make full movie.... Just you need good thriller script...All the best for your future projects

Great work, the Cinema 6k is a tad too sharp but you still did a great job.

Oh, man! This is absolutely great!!!!! Love the color grading!

Yo that’s my friend Thomas!!! Why did you kill her?

fr me

What was the actual point?

Interesting first try Carsten, you have talent and should keep doing this. And your casting was very good, specially the cashier woman, she was so real. In terms of how I see it, I think you should try to work more on the editing of face gazes and how they interact. In my opinion, some of the main frames of the kid were just too tight for an adequate appreciation of his interaction with the cashier and some of the other characters. And some scenes were just too short, not allowing viewers to stay more with the mind of the person portrayed. This is a science and an art that is not easy to master so the more you practice and the more you try different things, the better. And, many times, you don’t need to rely on something out of the ordinary to have a good film or a good ending; your film could have just show the point of view and stress of being that boy without the need for a violent ending. In my opinion, in America, filmmakers have naturalized violence because they watch just too much if it and they have naturalized it, but that is an scape from real life. Real life is violent but not violent like in movies, so those movies don't speak to us, they only entertain us, and that's ok but I would call it art. As some writer that I forgot said once, "the truly extraordinary in life is the four-leg cat, not the five one." A good suggestion to become a better filmmaker is always keep watching good movies (not necessarily north American ones, they rely too much on the spectacular in my opinion) and try to discover how they do them, why do they work so well sometimes. A recent film that I recommend and that you could find somehow in tune with your first person subjective style is ‘Shiva Baby’ (USA, 2020) by young American director Emma Seligman. She understands how to render the subjective point of view with camera framing and editing and the choreography of dialogue and interaction, with mastery, in my opinion. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XYycmW66JqQ.html

😂😂😂😂 this is a real fear

I know the kid

Bro its a good filmed video but cmon, use the 180 degree rule

cool shots but screenplay is very stupid and bad

The kid is a great actor, but the plot is awful. "Autistic kid snaps and kills a cashier." Great job, you heard "horror is a conservative genre" and didn't think twice. I've watched this three times now and I can't see how the cashier has "decided to mess with" the kid. Because she swipes the items quickly? I could maybe believe that if the other sounds of the checkout aisle weren't shown to be just as impactful.

Nice work !

incredible

🔥🔥🔥
