SINGLE BOUND -- A Film by Jake Topkis

Hey fellas,
Wanted to try out the posting feature. Check out my short film, SINGLE BOUND. I'd love to know what you think as I'm aiming to submit it to some film festivals. Let's see, to apply to the class: What genre do you think it is?

I really enjoyed watching that Jake. Visually, it was very appealing. I know nothing about film and am interested in the production of the film. It looked like you used more than one medium...I could be wrong though...

Hey, thanks for watching! Coincidently enough, I did a Making-Of video that explores those questions:

Everything you see was shot on a simple digital camera and then manipulated in Photoshop. There was a lot of layering involved. For example, Alec, the star, was never in Boston. We shot all his stuff separate from the backgrounds on a green screen!
Glad you enjoyed that!

Good stuff Jake, can't wait to see the African documentary. You better take a good picture of an elephant for me. haha
