Today I shot and directed my first “movie”! It was 5 seconds long. WTF?! 5 seconds ?? Ok a little flashback.

Cadillac has built this new car which goes from 0-60mph in 5 seconds. So someone in their Marketing dept thot it might be a cool idea to have a 5 second movie contest to underline the fact.

So, My movie was shot to showcase the speed of the new cadillac car. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to spend a whole lot of time on making it. As the deadline was tomorrow.

I had a simple idea - then I played around with Adobe Aftereffects till I got the timings right. I was satisified with it, it turned out good given the time I spent on it. It was a good experience of telling a tale with no visuals, and using audience’s contextual continuity to decipher the message of my film.

Phew! Did I sound complex enuf ? Complex and twisted logic is the hallmark of indie filmmakers, and I dont want to be the odd one out

ok, for those interested in seeing it - here is the link
