A huge detail that a lot of people never caught was the fact that this dude served in the military, he wears his watch on the opposite side of his wrist which is common in a military sence because as your holding a rifle you don't need to rotate your wrist to check the time, this dude was in the military, kicked back out into the world without a job and without a lot of money, clearly got a job doing something illegal, probably killing people or something to do with it as it made use of his skills from the military and is pretty easy money to him. The watch being on the opposite side of his wrist, him being desensitized to the killing on TV and him not showing much emotion is proof of all this

[@KenDavis-uo8kq]

Avoid glare or glint, protect the face and sure, easier to read at the ready. Nurses do it too, btw. How do we know he isn’t an underpaid nurse who’s become desensitized to violence from working in an ER?

[@KenDavis-uo8kq]

I’m thinking he was a nurse. Maybe a nurse in the military? 🤷‍♂️

😂😂😂😂 Sou do Brasil e achei seu comentário muito bom kkkkk 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@DOGGGEEEE]

Walter Rodriguez had impressive acting. Also, some of those car driving shots were awesome!

[@ninthcirclefilms]

Agreed! Walter is the best!

[@anubhavkumar1836]

Lately I've been watching various short films on KZbin to take some lessons and inspiration. I am amazed by the hardwork and creativity y'all have put into this. Keep growing ✨️

[@ninthcirclefilms]

Thank you so much for that man 🙏🏻

[@Onesnapmedia]

Let's get it man, great work!!

[@JervilMAN]

This feels like a sequel to "Drive", I love it!

[@mxmrhd]

Awesome!

[@tragicbradley]

This is fucking amazing...fantastic shots, great music, awesome grading. You guys really know what you're doing when it comes to conveying a story with shots...my only criticism would be that the shot at 1:51 is badly stabilised, it's such a great shot and I feel like the warp stabiliser made it overwhelming to look at. Also the autofocus in a couple of those ending shots are distracting as the background lights are breathing! Apart from these - it's spectacular and I loved it.

[@theprincesscrown1509]

Dope and inspiring!

[@Salt9696]

Beautiful work!

[@miraiofficiel5641]

great work !! which specs did you used? Slog3 / Gammut3-Cine? Thanks in advance!!

[@mikefarrell617]

Great pictures

[@torinmscott]

Solid all around! I love the green neon kicker in the payphone scene. The final shot was great - the smile alone completed the character arc. Can I ask what you did to achieve this look (filters, picture profiles, LUTs)? I just got and FX3 and am trying to learn it better. Thanks again, and great job!

[@ninthcirclefilms]

No filters, and just playing with lights and sets. I would recommend just looking up great color grading videos. You will eventually find the style you like. Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask any other questions 🙏🏻

[@filmsbymad]

@@ninthcirclefilms do you have any recs for color grading channels?? trying to get better at davinci

[@arielcampos6428]

[@Concordant7]

Music is on point, very enaging too. Well done.

great idea great video and also great flow. I think you forgot the tv light on your face in behind the TV scene but it still king

[@SimonVisuals]

Great work!

[@ninthcirclefilms]

Thanks for the visit

[@Kyree4kyng]

👏🏾👏🏾

[@samg9207]

I asked myself if you record evry sequence again with an microphone like the door closing sound or you walking toward the car…do you record that all and place it in the cutting process under the right place cause this is veerry detailing work and i love that🙏🤝

[@ninthcirclefilms]

So wide shots are very difficult with sound, we had to record each one individually. Hope that helps! 🙏🏻

[@watermxrk]

Very good acting, cinematography, use of colors/lighting however I feel like there could be more dialogue. Good job

[@adventuresofaarontaylor]

I personally thought the lack of dialogue made it more intriguing. I’m still watching because I’m trying to figure out what happened.

[@thatdayjune]

What lens you use?

[@ideavault]

killed this 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ninthcirclefilms]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@jokanm]

Is the music you used copyright free? Can I use it?

[@andrewhauge4338]

Maaaaaan fucking well done❗️🎬 • Awesome vibe & spectacular color grading. The standing car scene with the neon light was just golden stuff!🤌🏽🔥

[@ninthcirclefilms]

Thank you man appreciate it!

[@crazycool905]

how are phone calls scenes filmed? like is the person on the other line during filming? I can never find any information on this. Please let me know. Thank you.

[@BeagleFocusEmpire]

Not necessarily, they just have a script that they use. They can actually have the other guy record his lines separately then they join it into a convo in editing

[@crazycool905]

@@BeagleFocusEmpire so on one scene the actor is just reacting to what the person is saying even though it's filmed in another scene or voice over? and what about the timing of it though? because you don't want the actor reacting too long when the person on the phone is done? This is what confuses me as I'm trying to film a scene like this

[@BeagleFocusEmpire]

@@crazycool905 The timing is done by the editor or sound designer..voice 2 is edited just after the actor stops speaking.. Because the voice on the other side of the line is sometimes pre recorded.

[@crazycool905]

@@BeagleFocusEmpire now I understand. Thank you so much. This is going to help me in my short film. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain to me

[@BeagleFocusEmpire]

@@crazycool905 Welcome, I wish you all the best with your short film!

[@shawnwilson1055]

Nice work what camera did you use

[@ninthcirclefilms]

It was a Sony FX3

[@LakevusParadice]

something feels off about this and i think it is the 4:3 setting of a box. it the bars were on the bottom i think it would feel different

[@cyrusthecreator]

Make more please. :)

[@ninthcirclefilms]

Thank you man 🙏🏻 will do

[@freevase362]

lens?

[@SleepLongSleepgood]

What frame rate did you use? 24p or 30p?

Nope, as long we dont make any profit! 🙏🏻

Every single gangster movie ever, but it's a good ending, because protagonist is not a dumbass for once

[@pg3gonzal3z]

Fontana?

[@ninthcirclefilms]

Representing 🙏🏻

[@aidenndrake1062]

Looks great, color on point, vibes are dope but... remember story is king. What was the inciting incident? That he didn't have food to eat? How did this motivate him to quit his job? To me it does the opposite. Just being critical, looked amazing, but I didn't take much of anything away from the story. Just seemed like a big montage of some cool random shots to me.

[@kayofont4315]

Obviously he has no time to himself and his (illegal) job is doing more damage than good

[@xPocketStaff]

not bad but all shot have different "grade" different wb look at 5s and 1:18

[@tlfilms207]

still looks kinda digital to me.. great filming tho.

[@chooch_mcgee]

Would make for a good AI generated short

lenses? thx
