Frame Grabs From My Feature Film - Bad Decisions

I just want to say, that filmmaking is one of the hardest task that anyone can undertake! I wrote, directed, shot and lit this film, while my beautiful wife was a lead and she also did the casting.

The majority of this film was shot on the GH4 and GH5, and I will finish it next year on the S1H and S5. Lenses used were Canon FD 28mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4 and 35-105mm f/3.5 and the venerable Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 with an aftermarket passive Speedbooster. I also used the Panasonic 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6, 20mm f/1.7, 25mm f/1.7 and the 42.5mm f/1.7. Bad Decisions is a film noir about a couple's fall from grace and the decisions they are considering just to survive. Most every scene was shot at night, and every scene was lit.

Budget was $10K. Slated for completion and release next year on Amazon Prime.

Rated R for language, violence and implied nudity.

Grabs look fine. I own the canon lenses you have used (in FD mount though)..

Will check Bad decisions out once on prime.

Good luck

Thanks a bunch!

Awesome stuff.  I take my hat off to anyone that takes on such a project.  Please post when it is out as I would love to see it.

Good to see the bad decisions weren't your camera/lens choices.

its a good look. best wishes for a successful outcome.

Big up, bro! I am all for indies getting into the feature film market.

It’s a beautiful color but noir-like atmospheric look to your film, judging from the frames you provided.

Looking forward to seeing your film streaming on Prime, and I hope it proves to be successful for you!

Curious which editor, color grading software(s) are you using?

I use Premiere Pro on Windows for both editing and color grading. I started out with the technical Panasonic LUT as everything is shot in V-Log, then I edited the color manually to create my own look.
