hehe thanks dude! I think it'll turn out, as long as I get those effects done and some sound design and score... (all in a week's time)
 
I am dying to see what you did with your kid brother in an hours worth of time. Probably be amazing.

And here I am laboring night and day trying to figure out how to load tape into my dvx! :grin:

Poster looks good, BranMan!

It's easy, you just throw down your divx until something pops out and you squeeze the tape in as hard as you can, then squeeze this thing that popped out back in.....at least that's what I did
 
Thanks VersuS! That worked!!! Woo Hoo... Time to start taping!!!

um, how do you get that little black thingy off the front of the lens?
 
LOL!!! ROFL! Catch that on tape and you'll WIN the horrorfest!!!!

TheatreGuy: Thanks for the comments, and I hope I don't disappoint! :)

I am sure that you won't.... after all, your brothers debut is counting on your success!

But no pressure, eh?

This is true....

naw, no pressure... I already sent my sister into stardom! And, now she's an award winning actress! :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)
 
Oh yeah. She won best supporting actress for her role in the film I did for sci-fest, A Price Too High. It was her first big role in a film, of any kind... I wrote the script for her, because I knew she had the skilz... Here's the thread about the movie... Also, if you go to my website, there's a teaser trailer there...

Also, keep in mind, the DVXuser contest version was 6 min. while the full version of the film (Much better IMO) was 12 min.

It's funny, because she (being a great actress) was Catering/Craft Service for Smuggler's Ransom...

this is a bit trickier...so bare with me...

once you have the divx all ready to roll with your tape inside (make sure the thing is tightly shut, use some gaffer tape if needed) you then take a piece of rope and tie your camera up with one end of the rope, like a lasso, and then hold firmly to the other end of the rope and start moving it around as fast as you can and as high as you can, like you want to catch a bad guy running away, so (and this is the key point) when you feel that you've reached a top-speed of moving the lasso with your dvx around, release the rope and try to throw it as far away as possible (so you better do this outdoors). With any luck and if you've reached the desired speed and angle, the black thingy will come off very smoothly.

If you feel that all of the above is too damn hard, then take a hacksaw and chop the lens off. Releasing the lens off the camera will scare the black thingy and it will release its grip from the lens and slowly move away. Then use some super glue to make the lens a part of the camera once again.

You can find more details in my upcoming book, '100 things to do with your DVX before the end of the world'
 
Wow! Brandon, that's awesome. Great footage. You really know how to use that camera! Grats man!

So, was the time limit 12 minutes for that festival? Shesh! I could use an extra 2 minutes on my film!

Is there a was I can watch the entire film sometime?

Nice work and nice acting. I like the guy with the rifle. He seems awesome.

Thanks man! :)

No, the time limit was 6 min. As I posted above, the cut for the DVXuser fest was 6 min, and the full cut is 12.

Thanks for checking it out... We're still waiting on several film festivals, as we submitted it to about 6, and made into two so far...:thumbup:
 
Ah no prob. guys, it's funny stuff... I am sure the thread will get back on track... btw TheatreGuy, I just PM'd ya.

D'oh! I see that now. :embarasse

Got the PM. :dankk2:

Okay.... back to "Into the Darkness" :beer:
 
So Brandon, I guess your location was your place right? Was there any problems with moving things around or did you use it as it was? I've used my place and Stratos' place quite a few times for our projects but we almost never move the furniture or add any elements unless its really really necessary.

Yes, it was my place. What is great is there's an awesome swingset in the front yard, and this creepy place behind the house that we used... I've always wanted to find a time to use that place, and finally did.
