Short Videos Go a Long Way
We are seeing it more and more these days. Short films being produced by amateurs and pros alike, sometimes with the most minimalist of equipment, that are making it big. Whether it be Drake Doremus’s “Little Crazy” (which was shot on the Canon 7D and won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival this year and was later bought by Paramount for 4 million bucks) or this latest short done by Portal fan/filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg, there can be no doubt that all you need to “make it” is some creativity, dedication, know how and sweat.
Portal: No Escape
“A woman wakes up in a room with no memory of who she is or how she got there…
This is a short set in the world of the Portal video games created by Valve Software.”
With more than 2.3 million views, “Portal: No Escape” has raised the question as to whether or not it should be turned into a feature length film and has been getting a resounding, “Hell yes!” from viewers.
