Looks just about perfect now, I'm curious about what that tree looks like though!

With fog is definately better, but it seems the tank is too dark compared to the background.

I know absolutely nothing about CG, but to me it looks pretty damn good, however I think the two pics with the fog look too bright, I think the second, darker picture fit better with the background. Looking good though!

the best weapon a hitman could use....is an icicle, because the evidence melts away. has that been used in a movie before....? The Russian mafia kills people by holding them down and stuffing snow into their throats. They asphyxiate in a few minutes, then their residual body heat melts the snow. No...

Are these shots from the movie, or just stills? Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the knife doesn't look particulairly sharp, is it real?

Yeah, six kinds of no.

Looked cool, reminded me of "Collateral" a bit. You certainly like filming cars don't you?

Wow. Simply, wow. I want one so bad it hurts. I don't even want to try and picture how much one of those bad-boys costs.

It was pretty damn good in my opinion, the colour really jumped out at me too, what were you shooting on, it looked like pro grade to me! Only gripes are the repetitive sound effects and the fact you didn't show what happened after he jumped. Great work, now just incorporate the same quality of figh...

Yeah, both for me. I've always just filmed what I felt was right, picked up some books and info off the web along the way. Now I'm doing a minor degree in Film alongside my major in Communications Studies at the UofC.

Looks interesting, why the tiny little square of footage in the middle though? Also, either improve drastically on the special effects or work around it and don't use them at all (I'd personally go with option #2).

That's really too bad, I quite liked it. Definately A grade material in my mind... but them's the breaks. Did you at least have the rubric beforehand so you could shoot by it? If no; get yourself into the profs office and argue it, it's really the only way to go in post-secondary!

Horrays for Lost music! 'Twas good, I quite liked the camera work, had something of a documentary feel to it, and the dolly shots were superb. Some of the fighting lacked force, but all in all was quite well done. Will you be posting the whole shebang at any point?

Three comments:
1. (In regards to the scope-face incident) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahaaa, ahem. Ouch!
2. (In regards to the SFX package) Thankyouthatnkyouthankyou!!
3. (In regards to the very end of the video) Is that a Steyr TMP!? And, if so; HOW??

T.V. & Film

PS: I believe the word you were looking for was "adaptation", by the way.

I'm guessing that the muzzle brake on that .50 does not do nearly enough...

Please, please record a big ol' package of gun sounds for us all!

ZOMG, you're back! As always I'm impressed with your work, neat little gadget. How are you going to rig up a battery for that?

"I- uh, I'm just here to sell you some shampoOoOoOooo...." Best. Line. EVER.


Bloody awsome, I can't even imagine what first place must've been like if that only earned you second. Great work, and absolutely hilarious. Great set too, what'd you do there?

I'm of the opinion that if you can't get all of the people you need, and every piece of equipment into your car the location is useless. I also find that chloroform is a handy tool for getting people into the aforementioned car.

MiniDV and Digital8 are exactly the same, just recorded onto a different tape.

Squib (small explosive device), not squid (a large, diverse group of marine cephalopods).

I rolled it back to iTunes 6.0.5.20 and regained my songs, the space on my iPod and my skins. Now I can just sit and wait until Apple gets their shite together and puts out an actual wokable piece of software. I am missing that gapless playback pretty hard.

Try running a head cleaning tape through it. If that fails take it into a respectable repair shop. They're really the only ones who can solve problems with delicate electronics.

You'll need to have some sort of A/V inputs on your computer. Some nowadays come with them built right in (usually RWY RCA jacks and sometimes a S-Video plug). If you don't have these already there are lots of PCI/USB/Firewire aftermarket things you can buy. Dazzle makes pretty good stuff on the che...

D*mn fine work, that was excellent. As a tribute to noir you had it just about perfect, special props to the actors and whoever wrote the dialogue. I do have a couple gripes though; the very opening scene (after the credits) was too bright, it should have been night, and it should have been foggy/ra...
