American Gangster/Mafia Flick

[BaconLettuceTomatoes]

Hi All,

It's been a while since I posted about Countdown. As some of you may or may not know, I'm currently in the United States and these are some screen grabs of a short film we shot over the weekend here. It's essentially a gangster-mafia film noir along the lines of Goodfellas, The Departed, or Training Day. I usually do more snazzy and up-market blockbuster films but I decided to go for a more gritty, realistic, bloody, and impactful film this time with wittier dialogue, smaller guns, and dramatic, harsh lighting. I'll post the main vid or a trailer up when post-production is done. For now, enjoy the following unedited grabs from our DVX100a and XL2. As always, C & C is welcome

for the hospital hallway.
Curved it up, changed the colour to make it whiteish as your footage was certainly yellowish.

For this, i just went straight for a clean bluish filter - like the matrix. Compared to the above this one, i feel this look more 'film'

Hobbes my friend...the matrix was green.
