CRIMSON
Written and directed by Munesh Sobha, the short film Crimson
was shot on Mini Dv using a 1 ccd sony camera. Crimson sought to
explore the theme of violence in a poetic way. Given that the
film was shot of digital video, lighting was an extremely important
concern during the shoot. By manipulating carefully the lighting and
the exposure Munesh Sobha sought to compose esthetic pleasing imagry,
and vivid coulours and texture associated with celluloid film. The
making of Crimson required the work of many people it has a long list
of cast and crew.
Made
with virtually no budget the film was funded by the director himself.
In 2005, Crimson was selected to be part of the Official Competition at
the Hollywood DV HD Festival,
a film festival that showcases works made using the new possiblities of
digital filmmaking. " make as much videos as you can " was actually an
advice given to Munesh Sobha by Steven Spielberg when the former had
the opportunity of meeting the famous director in Montréal in
2002.
