This public domain movie is a classic example of filmnoir and one of my favorite movies. In it, a guy is poisoned by radiation poisoning put in his drink, and he knows he is going to die, but in with his remaining time he dedicates himself to discovering who killed him, and why. It wasn’t on YouTube yet so I thought I’d put it up. Orchard-L, author of Boundless Ocean, Missing, and who is helping me make Saturated Dreamers, recommended the movie to me.

A soldier lost from his men comes into some trouble. A war/action scene shot for an episode of FilmRiot. Now a stand alone short with new SFX and an alternate ending! www.revision3.com Shot for in 8 hours. Edited in two days. We shot this on the Canon 5D with the 24-105mm L. This was all purely hand-held, no stabilizers at all. I did this to make the short as low scale as possible. However, in hindsight, I wish I had used some sort of stabilizer for the running scenes… I think the rolling shutter got a little out of control at times.
