So in an attempt to win a trip to Comic Con, my wife entered the Django Unchained emerging artist contest. Unfortunately, she didn't win, but we would still like to get some feedback on her entry if possible.
Here is the YouTube link: http://youtu.be/VV7YJAteI7I
She directed/shot all of the footage with the silhouettes on a Canon T2i. She didn't have access to a green screen, so she had the actors (I was one of them) stand a couple of feet in front of a plain white wall, which was lit with a few lamps creating a silhouette that was exaggerated in post.
For the chain and close up hand shots she used some green poster board as a really cheap improvised green screen. She was even able to do a passable Lee Van Cleef hand shot (the middle finger is shorter at 0:15) by cutting off a corner of the poster board and wrapping it around my finger.
The rest of the video clips and audio were provided. It edited it all together with Final Cut X.
