THE FISH - A Horror Short Film | Shot on SONY a7iv

[@chrisbrockhurst]

Absolutely love that slow pan left from inside the truck after we thought it was a static shot. Getting huge OA vibes from this for some reason! Nice work man

[@impatrickt]

thanks dude!

[@mondobytes]

Needs more lamps!

[@michelehimself]

Mindblowing how you've already implemented a lot of the stuff you've learned, tried yourself and taught us over the last few videos in your own project. The lamp that adds color and warmth to it, the shots with extreme shallow depth of field like Fraser's cinematography in The Batman, the Villeneuve-like inserts that give the whole piece an incredibly dark and uneasing mood and tonality. Love the panning shot inside of the car and a BIG ❤️ for the A24-styled thumbnail. EDIT: of course we want to see behind the scenes!

[@impatrickt]

thanks Michele! appreciate you watching.

[@michelehimself]

You're welcome!

[@huntingamber]

I got so many vibes from prisoners! Which is great. I love the Short Film!!! Keep doing this amazing work

[@Mastertist]

Gues I wasn't the only one who thought of Prisoners.

[@epochstories]

I love this Patrick! I can tell that every shot was carefully planned. Huge inspiration

[@impatrickt]

See THE FISH on the big screen in Toronto at The Toronto Indie Horror Fest! Select the May 13th screening and come hang out: filmfreeway.com/TorontoIndieHorrorFestival/tickets let me know if you want a behind the scenes breakdown on this one. thanks for watching! beware of the lamp.

[@huntingamber]

My gosh! Yes what kind of question is that? ♥️🥵

[@DANAMIONLINE]

Breakdown, please. Aso, I noticed you practice implementing "insert" shots.

[@jimcabezola3051]

Wow!A lot of teaching moments here. I hope you'll enjoy making a BTS to this little video! I look forward to it!

[@goldlynxmedia7665]

Yes & Please!

[@ahmedalreezaly]

Abso-flipping-lutely mate show us everything.

[@thatsamuellu]

Roger Deakins said don't move the camera unless there's a reason to. You absolutely nailed it.

That car panning shot... and the sound design... Congrats !

[@jrrmyt]

i love the knives out style lamp

[@joshuaconti989]

this deserves at least 5000 views for the lamp alone.

[@davidedwardsme]

Feeling that Prisoners vide! Great photography!

[@VertigoFilmz]

Beautiful cinematography loved. Loved everything!! Great Job !! You should be very proud.

[@fredrikdaniels6118]

This is really inspiring stuff! Love the way you use the longer shots, inserts and focusing together with the music to build the tension. Keep up the great work

[@gregkrazanski]

that panning shot from inside the car was really damn good

[@brandeezyvlogs1013]

I like the cinematography

[@DazBaldwin]

Real David Lynch feel about it and love the choices of music 👏

[@impatrickt]

🙏🙏

[@vasanth-F]

Felt a bit uneasy from beginning to end. Loved it. Make a video talking about the thought that went behind this short film.

[@zakhendo5061]

Would love to see a behind the scenes breakdown, amazing work bro!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I was cheering for the lamp the whole time. Amazing job, man!!

[@thisispenguin1951]

Well done! That shot right after seeing the torn up fish gave me David Lynch vibes (the quick cut to it, the sound design… chef’s kiss!)

[@gzh6152]

Omg this work with details 🔥

[@Nkanyiso_K]

Feels like Robert Eggers directing Prisoners 👍🏽

[@impatrickt]

2 biggest inspirations for this. thanks for watching!

[@TheShavingTulsan]

Loved the cinematography! But, I also really enjoyed the score, the unease that permeates the whole thing, and the general sound design. Plus LAMPS. Always lamps. 💡

[@codedxxx]

It was too short. Entertaining anyway.

[@rayshaagasta1968]

That left pan from inside the truck scene was😬🙌, amazing cinematography dude, u implementing all of ur skill from the other videos Beware of the lamp!

[@michialharris1850]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 forgot this being shot on a A7iv while watching. There's really no excuses. U don't need big ass arri's to create beautiful compelling movies. This really inspired me.

[@jada9401]

I remember Martin Scorsese did a short Film called “The Big Shave” then soon after that he became the worlds greatest director. I swear that’s going to be you Patrick the knowledge that you have and share with us is so insightful and you’re so young trust me when I tell you you are going to go places

[@codedxxx]

Thanks. The short entertained me.

[@ejschiro]

Nice! Yes on the BTS and I especially liked when the fish hit the floor, the empty chair insert, and the absence of sound at the end when the tarp starts to move. It's kinda like the house was having a sigh of relief that they were gone.

[@AxTechs]

Robert Eggers meets Denis Villeneuve

[@nolanmolt]

Great job Patrick, the tone of the film was set from the opening shot. Nicely done, turned out great!!!

[@impatrickt]

thanks Nolan!

[@harrisonrosemont]

beautiful. what is the aspect ratio and how did you decide on which one to use? i’m guessing 1.85:1?

[@impatrickt]

I believe so. I dont like letterbox

[@tombuck]

Super well done sir! I’m glad that a lamp is featured prominently. Really excellent cinematography and sound design too!

[@SOLIDSNAKE.]

Awesome!

[@impatrickt]

thanks!

[@davinjacobs]

No clue what I just watched and I enjoyed every minute of it

[@impatrickt]

my job here is done. thanks Devin!

[@kylespeller]

The footage looks great as well as the storytelling. I really like the song played during the credits too

[@iComplainer]

STARRING Globe Lamp as Globe Lamp

[@devinmaldonado4134]

I take so much inspiration from my fellow filmmakers. This is the first piece of work that I've seen of yours and I must say it is a pretty strong piece. I love the ominousness from the beginning and the interpretation you force the audience to have by the ending. Nice job!

[@impatrickt]

thanks Devin!

[@CleTtutoz]

It is a visually interesting short film, it would be interesting if you talked about the narrative, behind the scenes. It would be interesting to see the motivations in every move and shot you make. Congratulations

[@chanceseverson]

So cool seeing the development from your analysis to actual implementation, it's got me excited to try some of these techniques in my own projects!

[@XhonDang]

finally here! love this short 👏🏼

[@ty16027]

The score was brilliant, this pulled off exactly what you were going for this is objectively good. This was dope

[@TwaynePereira]

Very Hereditary, very A24. I enjoyed this very much!!

[@TuckerPearce]

That was dark and so well done. Sound design and cinematography had me very engaged. Glad I came back to watch this. One more reason to mention past videos in your current vids.

[@Harrisensei]

love!!!!

[@josephscottfilms]

Fantastic job! Love the use of out of focus and selective focus shots!

[@FaithlessFlight]

this is nuts. The tension, pay off and release is next level. So much story in such a short amount of time. Loved it.

[@impatrickt]

Thanks!

[@johnalex9484]

What story? There wasn’t one 🤣🤣

[@alirezza9773]

The light bulb and vibes remind me DARK series

[@superjoker]

Love the look and sound design of this especially - I'm a big fan of Shadow over Innsmouth and feel like this could fit in that universe. Hope to see more, guaglione!

[@BobWilcox]

fantastic short Pat! The whole short kept the tension and made me feel uneasy like something dark/sinster was about to happen

[@JimAtHome]

Love it says so much with almost no script

[@ThePistonPit]

Great work. What software do you use to edit and colour your films?

[@impatrickt]

i edited this in FCP and graded in Resolve. thanks!

[@ThePistonPit]

@@impatrickt brilliant. Ever thought of making a whole series with 20-25min episodes? I think you’ll be great at that.

[@impatrickt]

@@ThePistonPit I'd love to but I need more practice for sure!

[@ThePistonPit]

@@impatrickt look forward to it.

[@kevinwells4986]

@@impatrickt I'm sure there are many who have done full series with less experience, unfortunately I've seen some of them. Don't discount yourself Patrick, you obviously have a love for this and I have enjoyed watching you 'hone your craft'.

[@ehJoe]

The shots and colors are so fine, nice work and very best luck at the filmfest 🚀🎬🎬🎬

[@JoshuaTimothy]

Chills! Very well done. I made sure to put some headphones on for this one.

[@insidemymindinc]

I see that prisoners inspo! Phenomenal work brother!

[@LouisFindlay]

I loved this. For some reason I really loved the pan in shots, there was just something about them. Were they achieved in post or did you get them in camera?

[@impatrickt]

all the zooms are in post. thanks!

[@LouisFindlay]

@@impatrickt you did a great job, I honestly couldn’t tell.

[@impatrickt]

@@LouisFindlay thank you! gotta keep it subtle.

[@AlexGTech]

Abso-f…-lutely!!

[@joseluisgarciabaylon5637]

You have absolutely inspired me... thanks

[@jakefelzien]

Prey to the gods of lamp.

[@topicruben]

Loved it, man. The build up of the tension was great. Loved that panning form inside the car! and the sound design was awesome. I jump when the fish was dropped on the floor. Great job!

[@sampriest12]

Yessir!!!

[@andrewi559]

Well Done! A bit of fraser and lynch in there!

[@AllThingsFilm1]

I just watched this again. It shows me that my A7iv is a cinema camera if I use it intelligently.

[@arabiandoggoesboom4925]

Absolutely love your work, the atmspohere its so well done, the shots are very “beautiful” and the montage measured and clean.Keep doing this amazing work.

[@lucasmelo7106]

Just beautiful, Patrick. Know that you have a fan in Brazil. 🙃

[@impatrickt]

cheers Lucas!

[@goldlynxmedia7665]

Coulda used more lamps lol. Cinematography & sound design was on point. Great way to create tension... loved it!

[@motionbymike]

Slow clap for greatness

[@SS-um8ji]

Moody as hell- loved it.

[@DF-719]

Holy sh*t that sound design are next level! need breakdown ASAP

[@jacobmacdonagh4070]

Actually tricked me with that thumbnail thinking it was an A24 trailer haha I see what you doing

[@Dennis94913]

This reminds me of prisoners, especially the grade.

[@impatrickt]

thanks!

[@cinematicmike5323]

Great work

[@mikefilm0952]

Stunning footage...!!!

[@benjamincorteslyon6777]

The image, tone, and grade are all fantastic. But I didn't understood the story. Is there something to do with blackmagic?

[@impatrickt]

if I explain the film it defeats the purpose - you can interpret it how you like! thanks for watching.

[@nickcagol]

Hope this is just a trailer! That Italian ‘ave Maria’ was definitely disturbing 😅

[@AriIsenberg]

Very interesting! Good stuff. The sound was especially great here.

[@jas1712]

Wow this short film is amazing! Excited to see more from you!!

[@impatrickt]

more soon!

[@thatsamuellu]

The filmbox is too darn expensive, and I love the tone of your videos this one also the cheeseburger one, can you colorgrading it just like this without that filmbox plugin?

[@impatrickt]

if you're good at manually grading then sure! im not hah. instead of hiring a colorist i just pay for film box.

[@thatsamuellu]

@@impatrickt yea, the subtle details of the color and texture in the video, I tried so hard to emulate it just couldn't get the same result, I guess that's why they are confidently charge that amount of bucks. It reminds me a ton of "PRISONERS" I am just obsessed with that film

[@thatsamuellu]

@@impatrickt btw, it also eliminate the digital look of SONY cameras now they are more like a real cine camera color and highlight rolloff are like arri or bmd

[@impatrickt]

@@thatsamuellu definitely the roll of from filmbox is amazing. i think the next best thing is Joel Famularo's Phantom Luts, especially the film pack. It's a great starting point. btw Prisoners was my main reference point (visually) for this film, good eye!

[@thatsamuellu]

@@impatrickt Yea, Patrick, I am Joel Famularo's phantom luts user both on sony and bmd, he is such a nice dude keep updating the luts tirelessly. I actually applied the film look from Joel's lut, and started color matching your filmbox graded film, still missing some nuances. ughhhhh! you know it, the subtle feeling of the overall tone just not there yet, as I mentioned I am obsessed with prisoners image tone!

[@valentinjoubrel]

This is really great, I love your style

[@FearMechanism]

SONY A7iv looks impressive.

[@impatrickt]

every camera is good

[@FearMechanism]

@@impatrickt Shoot on a Prius backup camera next. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4aaiYqKpbeqetE

[@ruff1draft]

I am really interested in purchasing the Sony A74

[@SandroBiagioni12]

Beautiful shortfilm!

[@colinthomas2525]

Outstanding to have put all the stuff you have been teaching us in one short. I love the tone and the tension you built with the edit and music. This was amazing, I feel it’s your best work that you have shared. If nothing new comes out at nab I’m going for a a7iv because of your recent videos and the phantom Luts. I also like Sony’s cinema line to grow into with our changing mounts. And yes to bts!

[@hansstorsberg2022]

Great job as usual! It had a David Lowery vibe!

[@deadpoet566]

I liked the use of that lamp If you know you know lol

[@Ransompie1]

It’s a lamp!!! 🫢😳

[@nineteeninefilms7215]

Loved everything about this…. Ears are happy and my eyeballs are visually satisfied

[@justinparker716]

This was awesome! What lenses did you end up using on this?

[@impatrickt]

just one - 35mm rokinon f1.8 I dont want to invest in sony so im just using cheap stuff - thanks for watching!

[@HenriqueWeirich]

no words! Love it! Big fan of the use of a sort of happy song from the 70's (style wise). This dissonance between what you are seeing and what you're listening is awesome! One of the reasons why I love Vince Gilligan so much!

[@HenriqueWeirich]

plus the thumbnail is on spot with everything A24! haha loved it!

[@impatrickt]

thanks!

[@CorsairMaverick]

I was looking for a movie to watch and this seems perfect, on which streaming platform can I find the entire film? ;)

[@AryanTalla]

inspiring, just makes me wanna go out and create something

[@huntingamber]

Omg I loved it!

[@tafhimimamkhan]

I loved it.❤️❤️

[@DomZeal]

Great job, beautiful cinematography and color grading. But it's way too short, and at least show us even just a slice of shadow of the entity.

[@impatrickt]

It’s exactly what I wanted it to be. Thanks for watching!

[@SeanMiller318]

Awesome stuff.

[@scampifingers]

Love the way you shoot... Well done sir

[@PhilippeOrlando]

Very good cinematography.

[@King-zo4vv]

Watched right after the inserts video. I cansee what u are saying. That slow pan left in the truck was spectacular. Also, I see u using the lamp ahaha

[@impatrickt]

thanks king

[@samirawalehfilms2880]

want to see more from this world! great job man. I believe every filmmaker should practice making micro short films that make you FEEL something. that's the real filmmaking practice. would love to see a BTS breakdown of this. this gave me a modern David Lynch vibes mixed with prisoners. if that make sense , also please don't care about anyone saying there's no story here bullshit. this is amazing!!

[@MarcyMoe]

nice, which profile did u use?

[@impatrickt]

slog3

[@CrisConstantin]

The establishing shots are awesome. A.W.E.S.O.M.E! Not enough lamps tho😂. Great work, Pat💪👏
