The Hitman

The Hitman was shot for fun during the Covid lockdown. Second hand bits and bobs bought in Hong Kong. An air soft pistol from Mongkok. A red rather gorgeous retro suitcase, called a sunrise, found in Sham Shui Po, which I gutted and added a foam insert.  Black leather gloves and a pair of $10 sunglasses

All I was doing with each short film was entertaining myself during the downtime afforded by the currrent Covid-19 virus crises 2021.  I'm interested merely in the overall visual aspect of the clips in terms of lighting and lens work. Just wanting to see what I can achieve, in a rather tongue in cheek sort fo way, what I can be done with minimal lighting and equipment, alone working with such frugal means.

The film scenarios I create are merely an excuse to light glass and liquid, develop a suspenseful film noir vibe.

In some of the clips I neglected continuity altogether.  ie. Hitman # 6  ignoring the liquid levels in the drinking glass between cuts, and the hands on the watch face.
