YOBIFilm Season 3
Week 11 Semifinalist

When I was little I remember watching Robin Hood tv series. My childlike mind thought that it was actually footage from the real events. But later when I realized that there was something called filmmaking I wanted in.

I was dreaming of making films. Ideas of movies were in my head daily. At the age of 14 I had been practising karate for some time and I descovered that a filmmaker was training among us. Gill Taws is his name. He told me that if I wanted to make films, I just had to go out there and do it.

So there I wrote my first script. It was called "the House - Meeting Joshua". Mean while He introduced me to a bunch of talented filmmakers: Davíð Charles Friðbertsson, Stefán Mayen Briem, Laurent Jegu and Logi Sveinsson. They called them selfs "Nagnú".

I was given a chance to work on a film that Stefán directed. It was called "Bacteria". It needed special effects. And at that time I was testing fake blood, gore effects like gashes and so on. So I joined in.

Short after that we shot the first part of my film "the House". They invited me to be part of "Nagnú".

We made an art show at the "TjarnaBíó" cinema house. After that most of them split and went to study cinema in other countries.

I went to school to study sociology, then art, and finally filmschool.

There I shot the second half of my script "the House - Meeting joshua" which is my first entry in YobiFilm.

I made tons of films in the school and made a thew after as well. I had a chance to work with many Icelandic Cinema stars, and meny talented people alike.I graduated 19 years old May 2010.

So now I´m here 20 years old with my film "Vampyr" which I have been dreaming of making for a long time. I act the main part of Vilhelm myself. It was the hardest thing to do since I was Producing, Directing and thinking about the post-production at the same time.

 

So I hope you enjoy my work and I´ll see you all for many years to come. Becouse it is YOU the audience that make this happen. So I say deepest from my heart Enjoy!

Description

This is my 3d shortfilm. This story I have wanted to make into a film for a long time. I edited a separate version just for yobi. original version is over 9 minutes long.
This film is a short ghost story in my own style. I like the longer version much more, but what can I do.
I hope you enjoy my choice of shots and scenes. I put 2 months of my life into this project. I worked around the clock just to make this happen.
I would like to thank all that helped me do this project. And I hope you will vote for me.
Best,
Vilius Petrikas

not bad, the story is way to big to be trying to fit into a short film and your lighting and editing needs a lot of work.
