After 2 years in the making, I'm proud to finally present my first short film VECT0R.
When my girlfriend and I set out on this journey we had never imagined that the world would actually come to mirror the empty locations seen in the film.
VECT0R is a dystopian sci-fi short film set in a post-apocalyptic world. Most of the film is recorded in Denmark, where I live, except for a single scene that is recorded in Sweden.
Everything in the short film is shot on the GH5 or GH5S with the Sigma 18-35mm and the Metabones Speedbooster. Two shots are shot with the DJI Mavic Pro. A lot of sound effects and music were from Epidemic Sounds: bit.ly/2zvk894 (affiliate link - which means I get a small commission if you sign-up at no extra cost to you).
Sound Design by Michael Manky: / michaelmanky
Sound Mix and Master by Sylvester Holm: www.atical.dk/
Color Grading: www.wemco.co/
You can read more about the project and the dogma rules I set for my self (due to time and budget restrictions) here: filmdaft.com/m...

As an engineer - I particularly enjoyed the USB Vacuum tube :)

@filmdaft 4 года назад

Thank you. I also thought it was so cool. I bought it from someone in Russia, who sold it on Etsy. I just had to have it and use it in the film :)

@MrWillyclem 3 года назад

As a retired EE in my 70s, I also enjoyed that. What would have been a cherry on top would have been a bit of CGI to convert it to a NIXIE tube doing a count down. But, I understand that budgets and time constraints place limitations on production. I must get one of those, my next Raspberry PI project needs it.

I don’t claim to understand what exactly was going on here, but there were some fantastic cinematic effects, which I loved. I suppose the disjointed nature of the story mirrors the heroine’s struggle to make sense of a changed and chaotic world?? One inadvertently created by herself? Well done - I’d like to see more!

I don't claim to understand what exactly is going on either. But we had fun making it ;) Thank you for your great comment. Cheers from Denmark

This video that looks so Pro with just you filming it I wander if you could possibly in the future make more go to Chernobyl for a few shots to make part 2!Can you upload on Vimeo?! Thanks

@filmdaft 4 года назад

Thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot! I'd love to go to Chernobyl to do some shots. That would be cool. It won't happen anytime soon however because of the pandemic. The weird thing is, that when I did the first scene, my initial idea was to film the protagonist from the outside of the hotel also and then pan to empty streets of Copenhagen. But I had to discard the idea because there were people and cars and bicycles everywhere. So it would be impossible to remove them all. Today I would actually be able to do it because of the Coronavirus. Really weird times. I'm in the process of uploading a ProRes version to Vimeo right now. It takes some time (10.4 GB). I'll post a link here as soon as it is up :)

Well done. With COVID still around, this is especially interesting and timely. Will at sometime in the future earth be hit with a virus of extinction level? Natural or manufactured? Something dug up after being buried for a million years? Well done.

@filmdaft 3 года назад

Thank you. Yeah, I had no idea that it would come to resemble the world we know today at the time of release. The science-fiction became overtaken by reality - at least to some extend. I like the idea of a virus being dug up. Who knows what lay hidden beneath the poles or the ice on Greenland, which are all currently melting. Maybe we'll all get the dinosaur mosquito flu next :S

@karlsbergkarl2230 2 года назад

Too well dressed, fed, clean and safe to be a post apocalyptic dystopia.

@filmdaft 2 года назад

You're absolutely right, and I've been annoyed by this myself. I wish we had the money for a make-up artist and the time. But this was pretty much a run-and-gun film, with me, my girlfriend, and a small handheld camera. Often we had to film a scene in a couple of hours - and sometimes with our baby son sleeping in a baby carriage next to us (if we were lucky). But hey we had fun... and a lot of stress :D

@michaelstele5871 3 года назад

I like the film and the concept but… why in the world (other than to display ravenous hunger) would anyone open a can of beans and then scoop out the contents with their fingers? That’s a great way to introduce a LOT of germs directly into your body. Just open the can, and pour the contents into your mouth. I do like the idea of the goggles!

@filmdaft 3 года назад

If you're super hungry and haven't eaten in days, you don't think straight and your mind doesn't work, as it should. I guess you could justify it like that? :) Thanks for your comment btw.
