Shapes and Colors (an Experimental Film)

[@emilyganguly277]

I type in "Experimental Film" in youtube, and I'm glad to have found this!

[@JamesDallara]

Emily Sison Thankyou!

[@alanacula3855]

Me as well.

[@mochiecat306]

Same

[@kairokairo4118]

I wrote Short movie about colors

[@welcobro821]

Damm, this is very professional and yet super appealing. It’s hard to describe what makes the video good but it’s just very grand!!

[@JamesDallara]

Welco Bro Thankyou!

[@leighpeters1110]

This is beautifully well done! It makes me feel nostalgic for something I can't name and that I haven't necessarily had happen yet.

[@cr1stoffur]

Great song choices. Crumb is slept on

[@davontaeforman8252]

I remember being a sophomore in college and watching this in class and was amazed at what i was watching and now ima senior in college about to show this again in my filmmaking class. This is brilliant!!! Idk how someone can be THIS ELITE in premiere pro and after effects

[@JamesDallara]

Thank you man that means the world. This was my first Adobe project, honestly one of the reasons I made this was to try and learn premiere pro and after effects, so hearing that is really cool. From my eyes it’s far from brilliant and it’s chalked full of flaws, but I learned a ton from it in the process and wouldn’t change a thing.

[@CoreyMcKinneyJr_CMJR]

You know what man? I really enjoyed this. Good job.

[@alanacula3855]

This reminds me of something from "Off The Air" from [adultswim]. Great job.

[@VikTheGreat360]

A beautiful, passionate project. Great work. Really loved the pupil-to-burnout transition.

[@JamesDallara]

VikTheGreat thankyou!

[@FilmSureelist97]

This is beautiful. I hope you direct a music video soon. You bring off Petra Collins meets Teri Gilliam vibes.

[@toxicchainsawfilms]

Love everything about this. Feels like visual ecstasy. Keep experimenting, keep being cool!

[@noahevans6522]

I watched this on repeat before starting the pre-production of my first solo film project for school. I love the editing and the film as a whole, really inspiring

[@Ryan-en1cl]

This is me right now

[@musicafilosofia731]

Cada cierto tiempo vuelvo a este video; me parece que hay una intuición clarividente en él, pero no logro asirla conscientemente ni mucho menos verbalizarla. La impresión es que ha sabido captar algo propio de la contemporaneidad. Tiene algo que me fascina.

[@appleipadcrazy]

This is so beautiful!!

[@savannahmurdza1148]

This is the best thing I’ve ever expirenced. Thank you - I feel safe. I feel at home. I feel heard. Thank you SAVANNAH MURDZA

[@nr4941]

Nice one!

[@lewis2231]

Hi! I was wondering how long this project took in total? It’s super cool!

[@JamesDallara]

Lucia Lewis-janes it took roughly 7 months. Originally I wanted to do it in a week but every time I sat down to work on it the idea grew until it turned into what it is now. I explain a little bit about the process / project in a frame between 3:02 & 3:03

[@lewis2231]

James Dallara ahh okay, thank you!!

[@jose-ew3rd]

Man, I really liked this

[@jackiebrownjoji]

loved every second

[@MariaLuisaTalamini]

this is so cool

[@audiovisualdcjproductions]

Pretty Cool!!

[@daspitfilms]

absolutely breathtaking! it looked amazing! what camera did you use to capture?

[@JamesDallara]

Mainly a Sony FS100 as the A cam and Canon 6D as the B cam

[@joeyabeas8758]

Amazing

[@REALWRLDTV]

dope

[@adastra646]

what other films were your inspiration in making this one?

[@superhand24]

I hear Mac Miller's song bits right?

[@JohnsGuineaPigs]

wow

[@luludajani6579]

Love this so much!! Did you use a Datamoshing software for the pixelated transitions? Or was it manual? thanks

[@JamesDallara]

lulu dajani It’s a plug-in for after effects called AE Pixel Sorter

[@ninio9576]

Hey great film- what did you use to edit??

[@JamesDallara]

Premiere pro and after effects

[@agustinarios4805]

this is so fucking cool. i wanna be your friend haha.

[@JamesDallara]

Thankyou!

[@maureenwalsh8752]

This is kinda like MillionDollarExtreme if it was less based and post-ironic and more tumblresque and softboi

[@maddyg2590]

what software did you use to edit this ? x

[@JamesDallara]

Madeline G Premiere Pro and After Effects

[@andyhuey8422]

Hey! this whole thing wasn't just fucking shit

[@therealtornadosam]

While this is very interesting, the focus seems to be more on effects than concept.

[@JamesDallara]

Actually interestingly enough, part of this project for me was an excuse to dive into and learn the Adobe suite. So with learning premiere pro and after effects I wanted to implement all the effects I’d always wanted to learn how to do, into this project. The underlying concept is progression and moving forward as a video creator and so part of that is showing how my style changed over the years, from the videos shown in the beginning to this project itself, meaning that the effects for me are actually part of the concept. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

[@therealtornadosam]

@@JamesDallara Every experimental film should have a concept, or at least a neat idea; that's the whole point. With what you just told me, I'll buy yours. Interesting that the style of filmmaking itself in relation to the filmmaker is the idea itself.

[@SlenderGamer56]

That was a beautiful film, but I hate that you gave me the meaning. That may be your style, but it honestly ruined it for me.

[@serious_nigga]

Insightful and brilliant

[@worldonstage8276]

WOw. this is incredible
