The year is 1944 and a man named David Smith is in the 101st airborne division and is dropped over Normandy. He is sepperated from his platoon and throughout the movie he trys to find his platoon and faces many enemys and objectives... And no offense or anything man, but that entire D-Day-my-101th-...

Haha sure. What you wanna know? The stills of the movie above are from our next short 'Blinded'. We made a 30 min version and a 15 min version - Of totally different context although the main basis of a SWAT team engagement remain the same. I'll post when its done (Currently post-production and edit...

NO TALK OF HOW TO AQUIRE ILLEGAL SOFTWARE

Yes. You should do that rather than pay $288. That'll save you quite a bit there. Instead of spending money on a new camera and computer, you could always borrow from someone or an organization if you can convince them.

Yeah Avid is nice. Used it only once before. We were competiting for one at this festival once. Pity some other guy won it though. Damn.

Hey the Sony PD 170 is an awesome prosumer camera. Nearly as good as Canon's XL2 if I might say so. Anyway, nice test. Wierd though. Our camera (Also a PD170), doesn't have the interlace lines yours does. Anyway, the PD170 is pretty expensive man: At least 3,000 - 4,000 but we get awesome images - L...

Adobe Premiere can do it. Go to 'change clip duration'. If you put the frame rate at 10% or near 0%, the frame will more or less freeze up. Alternatively, a more primitive method for frame hold would be to use Windows Movie Maker and take a still of the frame you want to hold and then export it to P...

Yeah I think the concept is very intriguing indeed. Whats the deeper meaning of the story? I sense some sort of philosophical or social implication here when the 'random incidents' are changed and revisted. The question of fate perhaps? Determinism vs indeterminism? Is there such thing as luck?

Oh haha well I assumed they were American because they had American (Even if slightly) accents. 'I'll go check it out'. Well you could try www.youtube.com It reduces the quality drastically but the loading time is relatively faster than Putfile. And yes I did read your synopsis sometime before thoug...

Although its best to be original - People will accuse you of ripping off or being a 'fanfiction' film.

Thats just my take haha.

Ahh I see you like the song Angel. They used it most effectively in Snatch. Okay I just watched it and I'm gonna' give harsh, critical comments of what I thought of it. Please don't take it personally. I think its only right that we give you feedback so that you can improve. Overall I thought it was...

Nice man it really looks like its shot on old 16mm film. Reminds me alot of Blair Witch Project if I might say so.

Darn I still cant download it even though I've been trying the entire afternoon. Dont mean to trouble you or anything but mMind putting it on www.youtube.com ? If you dont want to I'll understand though haha.

another example of why wireless sucks!

I agree completely.

you click on free, and then on the next page it says you have to wait a certain amount of time til your download is ready, then you click away ...

Thanks Vor. I do appreciate it. Its working now. Will let you know what I think after i watch, CaptainAmerica.

Haha yeah! I agree totally. There was one time we were one in ten finalists of this national competition where the prize was a $10,000 contract to produce a pilot with a renown local director and work with a big TV studio. We were the youngest team (Everyone was like 30-40) and we didnt win. But its...

Both. You need photoshop to make the picture then premiere to impose it onto the moti.on frame

We built this set for under $100... I never thought Indies & Low budgets could build sets for cheap, but yes you can.

I'm impressed again. ^_^

Its pretty good though, as you said, the second trailer is much better. Whatsup with the helicopter though? Seems kinda...Super imposed?

Yes it sounds very interesting. Its nearly a non-linear storyline. Very intriguing. (Not to mention quite original too) Mind posting it online or something? Good luck at the festival.

I know this is kinda retarded but why does everyone put their files on RapidShare? I have no idea how to open it. It brings me to this page asking me if I want to buy premium downloads or something and theres not a single link to the file. Alright this is really off topic but could someone please en...

Its most probably a fake. Its at least $1,000 - $1,500 US Dollars. But hey, if it works, nobody's gonna ask any questions when they see the final product =P

Adobe Premiere forever! ^_^

Yes it is very impressive indeed. Making your own set is not something independent filmmakers do everyday.

81% of children born last year were to immigrant families

Haha was wondering whether that had any racist connotations thats all.

Yeah it most probably is. Yes. Adobe Photoshop is different from Adobe Premiere altogether. Its for editing pictures - Although I have no idea how Magic Man managed to do the gun slide recoiling even though I've seen it tons of times before on indie films.
