One More Month

This short movie was to fill an assignment for an early media arts (aka "film school") class I had at Brigham Young University in 2004. I actually shot this while still healing from a crack I got in one of my ankles after slipping on ice earlier in the year, during the winter, when I was shooting the unaired pilot of Wyndam-Price Productions' "Med School." This guy Jonathan who's playing as me doesn't really look that much like me (and is several years younger, too), but I had to grab all of my actors at the last minute, so he was still a fine enough choice for this little movie. So, believe it or not, I had to stand there and have him use my crutches and splint boot, carefully shooting this while just standing in place with the foot that had the cracked ankle not even being in a boot or shoe for the moments! As you watch this, please try to stay alert to catch the moral of my story, which may actually turn out to be slightly relieving and/or even a bit touching. TECHNICAL NOTES: This movie, shot on 30-frame-per-second, interlace-scanned video, actually plays twice here: one version is still in 30 frames per second but converted to progressive scanning as the first attempt to make it more film-looking, and the other one is a convert to 24 frames per second, also progressively scanned. The 24P convert was an attempt to make it look even a little more filmlike than the 30P version does, but even though pictures that were actually shot at 24 FPS should look a tad less smooth ...
