Directed By Manolo Celi

A feature film screenplay inspired by this short is currently being developed. In the feature the photographer (Roberto Lequeux) makes his way through a swarm of unexpected twists and turns, living out a life altering rollercoaster ride. Unavoidable circumstances force him into alliances with unexpected characters who help him through a most stunningly unpredictable sequence of events, only to finally land with him on a far more capricious and unforeseeable conclusion. Serious funding inquiries accepted.

The long history of short films

       
In the beginning, all films were short. The earliest cinema audiences may not have been particularly aware of this as they marvelled at seconds-long scenes of circus performers, exotic cities, scantily clad ladies and people going about their daily business. For them, the novelty and the thrill of witnessing man’s latest technological triumph was paramount. But as the 20th century dawned, films began to get longer.
Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel's 'eyeball-slicing' Un Chien Andalou.
The very first films were presented to the public in 1894 through Thomas Edison’s Kinetoscope, a peepshow-like device for individual viewing. These, and the projected films that succeeded them, were often one-shot “actuality” or “interest” films depicting celebrities, royal processions, travelogues, current affairs and scenes from everyday life. The best-known film from this time is perhaps the Lumière brothers’ Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat (1895), which supposedly had audiences fleeing in terror as a celluloid locomotive hurtled towards them.
The brevity of these one-shot films suited Victorian modes of presentation. As Bryony Dixon, the BFI national archive’s silent film curator and director of the British Silent Film Festival, explains: “The major outlets for entertainment at that time were music halls and fairgrounds, where programmes were made up of a variety of different acts lasting up to about 20 minutes. Most early films imitated other entertainment media already in existence: magic lantern shows, illustrations, variety acts, tableaux presentations. So short was the norm.”
But in the early 1900s, improvements in recording and editing technology allowed film-makers to produce longer, multi-shot films. Some of the most memorable longer short films from the pre-features era include Georges Méliès’s A Trip to the Moon (1902) – in which a group of astronomers build an improbable space ship and encounter some acrobatic moon men – and Edwin S Porter’s The Great Train Robbery (1903), often celebrated as the first Western.
From about 1910 onwards, studio competition and audience demand induced film-makers to make even longer, multi-reel films and the first features were born. While DW Griffith’s controversial Ku Klux epic The Birth of a Nation (1915) has gone down in popular memory as the first feature film, it was in fact preceded by several feature-length multi-reelers from Italy, France, Denmark and the United States, including George Loane Tucker’s equally controversial Traffic in Souls (1913), which dealt with white slavery and prostitution.

WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE

"When you Love Someone" tells the story of a boy who tries to run away from his love, after realising that his memories are the only thing he still keeps from his past.

The idea for this project was to create a simple, yet inspiring video, something that could actually make people feel better, awakening deep feelings and emotions. While the original story doens't search for great attention, its potencial remains on the beauty of the images and landscapes, combined with the musical experience. Our goal was not to impress the public with a remarkable screenplay, but to give a brighter look to your day. We hope we did it. Thanks!

Shot with Canon EOS 550D/T2I, with lens 18-55mm and 80-200mm in somewhere near Cabeceiras de Basto, Portugal.
Edited on Sony Vegas Pro 9.0

Never Stop Rolling


a short film by Doug Smith

This is a short film created for Autobiographical Film (171F) at UCSC. The prompt was that we make a film about a memory presented three different ways. I picked a very generic memory (skateboarding) and presented it at three key moments of my life: when I didn't know much about it, when I got into it, and how I recovered after my injury. According to my teacher, I did not follow the prompt, but still got an "A" haha.

Shot on Canon 5D with various Canon and Nikon glass. Overcranked footage captured on a friend's Canon 7D.
