That's pretty much what happen. And American invaded British North American (Canada) FIRST, because they were allies with France (Believe that!). And when Napeoleon invade England, the USA attaked Canada because it was part of it. Very simple if you think about it.

Very well done! Would have been perfect if there wasn't that slight jump when you first walked into the room. But other than that it was a A+ effect.

RE: SWAT Movie DISERVICE is Available

I thought it was all-right. Very professinally done with good actors and a good concept. But I actually drew tried of it after about the 2nd raid. In my oppinion, it was to repeatative and strung-out. And volumes levels were too low in some scenes. I also would of tried adding music to the short. Ot...

RE: Re: RE: Day After Tomorrow-ish effects sequence

Better than anything I could ever do.
The opening shot was amazing, until you fly over thew city witch looked kidda weird (I think the perspective was wrong). But it was still proably some of the best CGI work I've on this forum.

Well thanks (I guess, lol) for that feedback NoRemorse. Glad you found in entertaining. As pointed out by Lawriejaffa, the film isn't perfect. But all film comprimise. So as long as people were solidly entertainted, I'm happy.

Hope more people (ie, the veterens of this site) get to see it.

Yes, the film does have copyright from ourmedia.org. But it's the copyright that only prevents people from trying to make money off your work (without permission), and from re-crediting your work. But your free to share it with whoever you want. I'm currentlly moving to Red Deer for school, so when ...

Thanks for the feedback, and I am surprised to hear that you thought the movie should of been longer. With it already begin 50mins in length, I would of suspected people to say it was too long to begin with.

I hope more of you guys get to see it soon.

Thanks man for the feedback! And that song played during the production opener is "Ride the Dragon" from the Shrek score. And no, the dog wasn't meant to run across the field; but I felt it didn't harm the film in anyway to see a dog on screen.

RE: Re: RE: Getting very annoyed with Adobe Encore...

Go to Adobe.com and downloed some of the patches released for Encore to fix the problem. I had the same problem.

If that dosen't work (although it should). Transcode your video Mpeg2 (DVD Standards) before importing it into Encore.

Hope that helps.
