I just made my first short (with the help of my friends (and zero budget)) for the myrodereel contest. I've been doing personal projects and the occasional interview/corporate video for a little while, but this was my first time doing any sort of narrative. Boy, what an eye opener. As you'll see in the video, I really have no idea how to move the camera or frame for narrative work. It sure was a fun and educational experience though. Hopefully we can make some significant improvements on our next short film.
Here's the contest page with the film and the behind the scenes video.

Thanks for checking it out! I'd love to hear some feedback if you've got any - even if it's scathing as we genuinely want to get better at this.
