Hold Steady | Short Film

Hold Steady is a narrative student short film I co-created with a bunch of legends, during my studies last year. This was a huge learning curve and I am proud of what we achieved! Big thank you to everyone involved, and the time, effort and dedication put in to make this film.

So so good to watch this a 2nd time round. Definitely some really emotive scenes - the training montage is still my favourite hehe.

Thanks brother, appreciate the feedback!

2:1 aspect ratio? Curious, because I was thinking of shooting something in this ratio. Nice film.

We wanted something other than standard 16x9 but 2:35 was a bit too much so went with 2:1. Thanks!

CAN YOU BREAK DOWN THE LIGHTING?

A lot of it was naturally light, the interior scenes were a combination of some panel lights, a keno flow as a key, haze and a whole lot of negative fill!
