The Chase

Dylan writes...

Hi, I'm a traceur from Indiana University and I thought I would share

this with you. Back in the fall, I took a class in which we made short

films on cameras using actual film and edited them by cutting and

taping the film together. My first project for that class was the

following: The Chase (

)

This was originally shot on a Bolex non-reflex and then was

transferred to a digital file giving it the quality it has now.

Overall, it was a very interesting experience for those of us involved

in the filming because it was a chance to really try to only use moves

that were designed to escape in each particular situation. I also asked

the actor's to perform everything as fast as they were comfortable

doing so. Both agreed that it was one of the best tests of how they

could perform in such an emergency situation. Also, because the film

was our first project in the class we were not allowed to do any

editing for it so we had to carefully plan out which shots would follow

the previous shot and when to start and stop rolling so that continuity

and flow could preserved as much as possible. The film received

positive feedback from my classmates and instructor and all were very

impressed with the actors' movements. I decided to send it to you guys

at APK because I thought it was very cool to see parkour through the

eyes of such an old camera and because it was a lot of fun to make. I

hope you enjoy it.
