I hope you enjoy.

big bat ears

Went with the 1930s bat ears, nice pick. The audio seemed to be a big off, not out of sych or snowy, I can't place my finger on it. Solid cam work, decent action. Keep up the work.

thanks. I think the sound is better if you watch it on vimeo.

Great Job! I am very impressed. Lighting was great, visually appealing, etc.

Cool stuff.. got the batman feel downpat for sure

Sweet! Amazing what you can do with a few good actors and a really good concept! Good color, beautifully shot and CC'd.

Looked great, lighting and all.. keep up the great work..

Thanks for taking the time to comment. It's good to see some feedback.

Loved the depth of field and the camera work, but everything was pretty stellar in this.

That was nice. Real nice. Great camera work, great lighting...well acted.

I like it a lot. I'd have to see what you have going on for the action/fighting bits...I mean, it IS a Batman flick...

I'm impressed. What was it shot with? Is there a website to the pro company?

Thanks.

Andy says, "Thanks everyone! The video was shot on the Sony FX1 with a 52mm Nikon lens mounted with the Redrock Lens Adapter.
For lighting we had a couple 650 watt lights and a 1K (w/ diffusion and CTO)".

Yeah, really nice work on the colors and lighting. I really liked the way the smoke shows through in the opening sequence. That dragged me into watching the whole thing.
Really nice job on the whole thing.

Damn. I just watched that for the third time...can't get enough. The atmosphere...the lighting...the acting. Woo wee.

Puh-leeease hire me for your next picture, or the feature-length of WAYNE. I'm you're man. I'd love to act in this. I'll carry gear, I'll run boom...bounce...you name it.

Tell Andy I want this! :) Good stuff. Good stuff.

Great stuff. This guy, Andy, should definitely think about making this a web series or something.

Very good stuff. Kept me interested!
My only crit would be the ending (visually, not story wise), felt weaker compared to rest. Most of the scenes looked really good so I was expecting more epic shot at the end or maybe it just feels too digital the last shot.
Good job anyhow.

With everyone else, I thought this was amazing... aaaand I feel a little like a b*tch for bring this up, but if you do expand this into a longer project or web series be careful about copyright infringement.

great job, what kind of camera did you use?

The Sony FX1 with a 52mm Nikon lens mounted with the Redrock Lens Adapter.

The editing was fantastic. Definately had a Christopher Nolan feel to it. Very moody, very cool.

Damn good film nice colours, nice lighting, nice camera work and good acting.

Seriously really good. the Wayne character was acted with really well, just very believable. I wasn't completely sure who the other guy was his dad a doctor. But ye it was good. Also i kinda hope he isn't a super hero. Like he could be one of the guys in the new bat man that pretend to be him. Make it like an unofficial spin off. But ye was good and id watch, act in, anything else you make.

its good, and goes to show what great cinematography can do...

BUT,

your all over rating it...

sorry to be a buzz kill

I don't think its that overrated. I think maybe the stories a little lacking, apart from that it accomplishes everything that he set out to do. And it looks fantastic. Good job.

Ashton, maybe some constructive criticism?

Pretty badass.

The editing was very well done and the cinematography is excellent, in my opinion.

I enjoyed your short film. What kind of camera did you use? any special lenses? Very good quality.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to watch Wayne. We are really enjoying reading all of your comments. Again, it was shot on a Sony FX1 with a 52mm Nikon lens mounted with a Redrock Lens Adapter.

p.s. Wayne is on facebook. : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Wayne-2009/102961906290?ref=ts

How'd you get that sick morning look when he's interesting that doctor guy? Amber gels?

Very good stuff. Kept me interested!

I have to disagree. I loved this shot. It was super comic book and super iconic. Very cool shot.

I don't think so at all. It's a fantastic indie piece...hell...it's a fantastic piece of movie making at any caliber. I've seen a lot, acted in a lot, and helped create a lot of independent films...and WAYNE is on the top of the list of cool, well made, quality micro-budget films. I'm picky as hell...but this one...this one is a keeper.

This looks very well done and I agree with lord of Light, you should definatly consider doing a web series :)

I think it's the music that makes the ending a little less heroic because there is no build up
to help push it up.
But then again it gives a different feel to the movie.
In that case it has a melancholy feel to it at the end instead
of a rise of a hero feel.
I really really like it though. nice editing.

Yes yes...a web series!!! That would be awesome.

Hey guys,

It would be fun to do a web series, but I don't know how plausible it would be. When we shot this, we lived in Madison, WI and had a great location (The Orpheum Theatre). We now live in LA where, believe it or not, it is very very difficult to shoot anything on no budget, let alone find a place that will let you shoot interiors for free. I'm not saying it's out of the question, just that a web series might actually be more difficult to pull off than a feature.

You're absolutely right...isn't that kind of back assward? You'd think LA would be easier to shoot in...but noooooo...union life ain't cheap, and it's a ripple effect we can all feel.

lol. Anyway. I...love...SAG...ummm...

It's funny, even here in Rhode Island we can feel the wrath of big industry productions...sometimes we'll go into a restaurant and want to rent it out for a Sunday morning or day and they'll say, 'What'll you guys pay? I mean, Brotherhood just shot here and they gave us 5K...what can you guys give us?' Pshhhh...we give them the finger and walk out. No but really...mostly we have great near-free locations here...but I can understand how business owners think the little guys can afford what the big dogs can chalk out. It's silly. Homey don't play that (I can't believe I just referenced the Waynes)...

Anyway. Moving to LA just upped your budgets my man...sorry to hear that. At least you'll have more actors and crew to use...and pay...:)

Here is a fight scene that was shot for Wayne, but was left out of the final cut.

The original location for the fight was a dark city alley way, but that fell through, so the fight never really achieved the intended feel.

I'm inclined to agree you should have kept the fight out. It definately had a different atmosphere. I think it wouldn't have seemed as proffessional with it included. While it's great to see the full batman costume, I think it needed the mystery that the final cut had where you didn't see it in much detail.

This is definately the most unique take I've seen on the story of Batman. I hope you go further with it.

Hmmm, ya.

I get a feeling of a different level of the professionalism in this fight scene...it just doesn't seem to be on the same level as the trailer. It's hard to put my finger on it...

Perhaps more time could have been taken with the fight choreography--I wasn't that impressed.

It just seemed like the production value wasn't as high with the fight scene. As you know I'm a huge supporter of the trailer...I loved it...but this fight scene seems forced, contrived, and rushed...

Good luck, and I can't wait to see more.

That's absolutely correct. It was all of those things and that's why it was left out.

First the location fell through and we moved to another location. Then it started to rain so we had to move it to the covered location under which it was shot. Then we didn't have the wide lens that we needed to shoot with the adapter, so we shot with out it. This scene really was just thrown together under shitty circumstances. So, we are fully aware that it doesn't fit with the rest of the film, we just got a lot of questions about the costumes and action, and this is all we have to show. So take it with a grain of salt.

D

No worries Mr. Weidamour...what you have already look fantastic...it doesn't need a fight scene at this stage of the game. Yes, people want to see the Batz kick some ass...but that can come later. Don't rush it.

hmmm... this seems almosts like a mix between Scorsese's "Taxi driver" and batman.... Although I did like that the character actually had a job and works... makes him seem more... Normal? i guess?
