watch 35sec Long Short Film - Ejiki

Watched it without sound (I'm at work); Good cinematography, enjoyed the fall/roll wipe at 0:20. Feels more like the ending sequence of a larger film than an entire short film in itself.:)
 
if im being honest I would have preferred better camera movement, If i was to take a guess, the person in the film was filming themselves (running while holding the camera pointing to yourself is a bit of a giveaway) the movements were all anticipated which is not a bad thing but for something so short more effort could be brought into it, the ending was joyful :)

Play around with aspect ratios and different grading to give it more impact, also Background sound, I would layer much more sound and music to bring more depth, it would seriously change the whole 35 seconds.
 
Whiteoctopus:
Thank you so much, actually the sound is part of the joke ;) But I'm glad you appreciated !

Film autre:
You are right actually, I made this short film 100% ALONE. I wrote it, acted, directed, shot and edited the whole thing, that's why you may find this a little too stiff. But I'm happy with the dynamic though even if movement would have been better probably yes.

Thank you hahah, I'm glad you liked it. Actually it's part of a bigger series I wanna make, you can expect some sequels ! :D
 
@johnhardd, you could probably get away with doing some keyframed digital pans, even like a small push left or right would make it much more dynamic
 
Its really how you do it. My first short film was done this way. 100% alone. But there was a scene where I was running with camera out to my side filming my face, and it the most popular scene. Everyone was curious about how I did it, and it had no digital pans. But I liked it. I was kinda hoping for some kind of cool creature.....oh well. lol.
