Your points are well taken!
This was shot over a weekend in Lahore just to prove to some interested producers of our passion! It was made with no money except some savings and friends being used as actors!
The horse riding scenes are in Lahore Polo Club. The interested parties wanted to see something very quickly so the horse costumes (which are horribly made) were stitched within one day by the guys there who make robes for the horses!
We didn't have the money left over to get professional color-grading done, which would have muted the bright white light to mimic moonlight better (scenes are always shot with more light so digital camera sensors pick up more of the image and less "noise," and then graded to look darker while maintaining the rich character of the scene). I've worked under some top directors abroad so don't worry about the quality of the final piece!
We are raising money not for a film --- but just for a proper trailer. That trailer will have the look we have outlined on our website (through concept art, storyboards, etc.):
www.SaladinFilm.com.
Kingdom of Heaven is our ultimate reference!
Sir, thank you for the thread! Can you pls add our website (
www.SaladinFilm.com) to the top of the post, as that has lots of cool concept art and our vision for this project. This teaser video was just a test shoot essentially, but it turned out nice enough (given that we had no funding to make it) to share online. We are raising money for a proper trailer... that will blow you away!
