Hi everybody,
I would like to share with you a series of short films I made based on true stories(I was screenwriter, cinematographer, editor and director).
The first one, THE RABBIT, take place in 1943 in northern Italy, during Christmas Eve.
Everything was shot with MLRAW on a 5Dmk2.
The other two shorts are almost finished. Feel free to ask technical question, I will really appreciate.
The language is Italian, but you'll find English subtitles.

Bellisimo laboro!
Excelent direction, actors, camera, editing! I really impress of your work. Congratulations.
I love the color correction! Can you share how did you got that skin tone?
The story remember me the volcano, the city lost by the Vesubio. I read a lot about that.
Io soy Italiano, pero vivo en L'Argentina. Mi figlia e di Calabria, Paludi ;)
Hi budafilm, thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate!
For the skin tone, we first used make-up during the shooting. Our make-up artist did an excellent job with pale foundation, dark circles and shadows zones.
With Davinci resolve I raised the midtone detail level in order to accentuate the wrinkles. I really didn't touch the skin color.
If you work well during shooting, there is not much work in post production.
I've written a BTS article about this project, but it's in italian. Anyway the link is this: http://www.frabiatofilm.com/il-coniglio-cortometraggio/
Bye
Very nice!! Like a real star the little girl :-)
I like your camera work. Do you do it handheld, on rig, on shoulder, on a tripod, ...? Thanks!
Ciao!
Audio from camera? No...
That was excellent! Very well done Avasarin.
Thank you guys!!

Everything is tripod, except of a slider shot for the little girl playing with the toy horse.

No, we use a Zoom hd6 as external audio recorder and a Neumann directional mic as a primary microphone. For the bombing sequence we use the original sound of the debris falling on the table plus all the bomb fx. Nothing crazy but it works!
Here is the second episode.
Most of it shot with the Blackmagicdesign pocket cinema camera. The last two shots(the boy riding a bike) shot in magic lantern raw with sturdy flight 3-axis stabilizer.
It has not yet English subtitles, I will do them ASAP!!!

Very Nice Work! I love the contrast and the light only in the important things to understand the story.
I perceive a big difference in the frame rate - less cinematic than the first one posted.
Have you work with all the same frame rate? Appear to be 30. Don't get mi wrong.
No, 23,976 fps as the firs one!

No, always 23,976fps!
In regards to the first video, horrifying, thanks for the nightmares I'll be having.
However, beautifully shot, you have fantastic skills, just absolutely stunning.
