Production Notes:
Brothers Forever was shot with a PANASONIC AG-DVX100A using the 25P cine like mode and a budget of about 450 (four hundred fifty) US dollars. It was filmed on location in BEIJING, CHINA. Brothers Forever was oriented toward the quality of photography. The simple story involves the murder of a young brother by an insane killer. The older brother seeks vengeance for the death of his brother and comes face to face with Alex Orton (the insane killer). What follows is a martial arts confrontation between the older brother that has nothing left to lose and Alex Orton, the killer that enjoys watching his victims die. Being a short film that’s really as far as the plot goes. Short films don’t necessarily need to comply with the narrative expectations of traditional films (by which I mean that the good guy doesn’t always win). We decided to shoot this movie as a way to test the 25P cine like mode of the PANASONIC AG-DVX100A. Most of the scenes were shot by night, so it was an opportunity for us to try ourselves with lighting equipment. The fights scenes had to be kept simple since we could only afford to rent some of the locations for 5 days (3 hours each times) which is really not much time when you are working by night and that the technical crew is limited to the main actors (Yannick Van Dam, Alexandre Bailly and Didier Buson), the director (Laurent "Lohan" Buson) and the main camera operator (Fabien Garcia).
