Still image from the winning film. The film crew used dramatic lighting to add to the storytelling element of suspense.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nCarlos and his team have a lot of combined professional video making experience. \u00a0When you watch their award-winner, that experience shows. \u00a0The sequencing is awesome. \u00a0The lighting in some spots is so dang perfect it gives me chills. \u00a0The story is emotionally driven and suspenseful. \u00a0The acting is quite good for non-pro actors. \u00a0(The woman playing the anchor lady is indeed a real life anchor lady.)<\/p>\n
This video has all the elements it takes to be a winner, so I am not at all surprised that it won in so many categories. There was a lot of competition, and many folks cranked out quality work.<\/p>\n
Carlos said, “There were a lot of great films this year from the Nashville entries. While ours was not the overall winner. We were tickled pink to get the best drama (out of 5 or 6 others)…plus all the technical awards.”<\/p>\n
As you progress on your journey in filmmaking, take advantage of the talents of others by watching their work closely. \u00a0Study it. \u00a0Don’t just watch. \u00a0Absorb it. \u00a0Live it, picture yourself there. \u00a0Take the techniques you like and adapt them to your projects.<\/p>\n
Quality filmmaking is multidimensional. \u00a0To truly be a great film, it needs to achieve excellent in all areas.<\/p>\n
I hope this information inspires you to make your own awesome videos!<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading VPT,<\/p>\n
