Hello!

A couple of days ago my Internet-series "Extraordinaries!" had it's world premiere on sites like You Tube, MySpace and Dvoted!

It was shot entirely in front of greenscreen in my studio by Johan Hedelius with the HVX-200 and FireStore.

I would love to hear your thoughts and comments on it!

Go watch it over at:

What do you think?

Also head over to http://www.youtube.com/edotproductions to check out behind the scenes of the making for this teaser!
 
Well, 3 things came to mind- That girl has a mass of red hair, it looks amazingly like Sin City, and I'm not sure what it's about. Maybe I should have turned the volume up? There were a lot of cool little touches though, and it was intriquing. Now, off to the website and see if I can find out what this show is about.
 
Well I'm intrigued. I love your narrator's voice and the picture quality held up really well for youtube - how'd you get it to look so clean?
 
Thanks for your comments!

What I was trying to do was to play around with something more alike Frank Millers graphic novels of Sin City. Show very few details but still set the mood of the scene. It's a minimalistic approach to it that I've come to love. And although the upcoming series will have that approach it will not be done in a "Sin City Ripoff" kind of way. What I'm talking about is few details, but the things you do see....wow! Know what I mean?

Watching it with the volume turned up makes it a little bit more...understandable ;)
 
Grug: We shoot it on 720p and then down encoded it to a 320x240 file with black bars. I believe we used the H326 codec.
 
It looked a lot like Sin City, but you said you were going for that look so that's cool. I almost felt there weren't enough details. If it wasn't for the voice over I wouldn't have known what was going on. But good job and I will check out the bts.
 
To all of you who have seen the teaser:

My goal is to get the teaser viewed by as many as possible so that I can convince a couple of sponsors so that I get to do 14 episodes later this year and then release them, for free, all over the world, once a month.

My main goal to do that is to get it up on the front page of You Tube.

If you liked what you saw and want to see more there is actually something you can do to make that come true.

Log-in to your You Tube account and send a mail to the http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=YouTube user and tell them that you think that they should put up the teaser on the front page.

That's it.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
 
Great work.

One thing that struck me was that when she's walking through the rain, the footsteps are obviously on dry ground. You may want to have the actor walk on a wet surface for the sound in scenes like that.
 
Her hair also flows like its just a windy day, and wasnt wet from the rain. It should have been soaked.

BUT it does look great, good job!

i think a youtube comment (amazing a youtube comment that wasnt spam or some vulgarity) said it well

"This looks like a mashup of Frank Miller's Sin City and the tv series Heroes... which isn't necessarily a bad thing seeing as how I like both of those. What you need to do is make sure that the story is distinctly your own."
 
Just wanted to let you know about the premiere of Save André Hedetoft - Production Diaries!
From now on there will be a new production diary every/every other week during the
wild quest to realize my dreams of becoming the obvious geek movie director
by making a low budget independent superhero-Internet-series!

It will not be the usuall behind the scenes pr bullshit.
It won't even look that good.
Instead I will bring you the brutal truth.
The things you usually don't ever get to see.
It will be funny, tragic, ordinary and wildly inspiring.
