When I created this movie, I did it in such a short ammount of time, that I didn't have time for anything. I filmed it in one night, edited it in about an hour, and sped over to the film festival, 30 minutes late.
In my previous expiriences, I've noticed that most of my better works are made faster than the ones I spend a lot of time on. Maybe that's why I excel in photography. It's that immediacy that attracts me. That's probably why I don't enjoy painting and drawing as much as I could. It's just too long and drawn out compared to Photo or Digital Image Design. There aren't much results in the period of a day. It's also the technical aspect that gets me. Anything involving my fumbling hands isn't going to turn out that well. I really think I just need more practice.
I thought over 5 days what I wanted to do for my final project. Nothing was coming to me, at all. I had scenes in my head I wanted to do, and my ideas became more complex. But the more complex they became, the time I had to do them was decreasing.
So I abandoned my original ideas, which weren't even that good. And then I thought of making a cover for my movie. It'd be fast, easy and I had all the resources (myself) I needed at home.
The process of making it only took a day, which was just the ammount that I needed. Thankfully I have photoshop at home, otherwise I would have been screwed.
I took all the images that appear on the cover myself. I think the part that's most impressive is how I photoshopped myself 4 times into the same picture. I'd seen it done before, and I'd always wanted to try it, but I never had a reason to. But I think this was a just reason. I think it adds to the movie, since it's impossibe to see us all together in the movie.
I looked at other DVD cases for inspiration. I think the biggest inspiration was the cover for Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. It's just a picture of her face and eyes, I I employed that in my design.
I also edited the colors. I made them have that blue tint that you always see in those cool pictures everbody likes.
