Thanks for the kudos!

I want to see the final cut myself. (Just gotta get off my ass and dive back into it).

Thanks for checking it out...

Wow - thanks for the kind words. I'll definitely check out rootclip.com

Side note - the helicopter is actually a $15 toy from Toys R Us that I painted and shot on a greenscreen to comp into a matte painting (the girl in the doorway is the only real thing in the shot).

Hahah!! That's hilarious! I had to watch it again after finding out it was a toy. WAY cool...and thanks for the reply, Trey!

Oh well. I know it's not for everyone. It's definitely intended to be more entertainment than artsy-fartsy. But thanks for watching.

Don't get me wrong. It definitely is well produced and has a very professional look. But the topic just isn't for me.
Good luck, nevertheless!

Thanks!

Hey Jeremie, sorry for the late reply. Actually, I just took my self-contained Quicktime master of the film (at 720 res) and exported it out of Quicktime Pro at the settings specified here - vimeo.com/help/hd. While it is, in fact, uprezzing the file, it does look pretty good. I suppose you could always use Magic Bullet Frames within AfterEffects and make a real 1080P master first, if you wanted, but just sending it out of Quicktime was good enough for the web. Hope this helps.

Thank you sir for checking it out... I'm still quietly chipping away at it between paying gigs. But I definitely need to chip faster.

Thanks for checking it out.... can't wait to finish it up.

I built the drum beat by just pounding out a rhythm on my USB keyboard, with a couple of cool bass drum sound samples and GarageBand. The actual song that kicks in was generously donated by a band called AWAKING THE FALLEN. The sound FX are primarily from a Skywalker Sound Sound FX library that I use for work (I'm an freelance editor/motion graphics guy). They have the greatest collection of weaponry sounds (thanks Ben Burtt).

Well the opening music sounded great.

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks! - And excellent observation on the "blackbird/little bird". When I shot the live action, I was originally planning on using a CG blackbird. But it was just too big a vehicle to fit in the frame with the tiny mobile home (keeping it to scale, it was nearly as BIG as the mobile home). So instead I went with a physical model Hughes 500 (i think that's what it is) to keep it lean and mean.

Pretty sad when you have a continuity error in a preview.

(But maybe it's just something else my bad guy can be mad about - getting gypped on her promised assassination chopper.)

lol... any date set for the full release?

I'm hoping to get it into shape for some festivals before uploading the full version online. I just hope I can find festivals that don't frown on "hot chicks with guns" movies...

Thanks for the kudos!

Sorry for the late reply - but thanks for checking it out!
