Going Home - first preview

Here is a first preview of the short film I have been filming, Going Home. More information about the film can be found in this earlier post

This is the first cut of the first flashback scene. Only the first part of the clip is almost finished - the Chinatown clips are random fill shots. Most of the footage has not been colour graded yet.

Shot on Nikon d3s, 720p 24fps. Edited in Premiere CS4.
Shot on Location in Melbourne, Australia, at Tian Jin Gardens Spring Street, and Chinatown on Little Bourke.
Flashback scenes shot in Siem Reap Cambodia.

More details can be found on the youtube page.

Watch in full screen to enjoy the pristine 720p HD footage that Changas shot with his beautiful Nikon d3s.
Enjoy.

Reference Photo

One of the shots in the Going Home short film I wish to have is quite nicely summed up by this photo I found on flickr.

I had this exact shot in mind for when the main character looks down from his office into the street, and sees a woman in a red cheongsam and red parasol, disappear round the corner. A really freaky but awesome find really.

Also, just cast the actor for the lead in the film. Met him on Tuesday, and am quite happy with him to take the lead role. Asked my dad to play the Grand-father figure, and will get some makeup on him, mainly grey(er) hair ;). Changas has a little cousin who can play the kid-version of the main character. Still need to cast a housewife. Can hopefully start shooting by next weekend!

Keep an eye out for stuff. =)
