fake commercial with HVX200

Amazing job!
All done in your garage? Perfect, one day journalists can write: before becoming a billion dollar company, Francois was working out of his gararge - they love anecdotes like this :D
I also second a making of, or at least tell us a little more about your workflow and how you spent these 9 month (did you have time to eat, did you have to sell your kidneys...?) :thumbsup:
If a production company turns you down after they saw this, post it here and we´ll all send them emails making fun of their hairstyles and taste of fine wine :costumed-smiley-047!

That was absolutely amazing. Stunning work, excellent pace and awesome shots. And the special effects put to shame some of the movies I have seen this summer on theaters... Excellent work, dude!
 
With that kind of work, I'd be sending that stuff to more than just Sony. Send it to ILM, Digital Domain, The Orphanage, etc. This will catch their interest.

For example, if the guys who made Ryan vs. Dorkman are now working at ILM, you guys definitely have a chance of getting into the American film industry.
 
Wow, I am really impressed. I think the vision before you shot it - knowing exactly what you wanted - is the real deal here.

Out of curiosity, where did you shoot? That space looks big - a garage? Also, which lights did you use?
 
thanks again for your compliments. It gives me the courage to show it without fear ;)

DavidD, the garage was not that big because it was a half inside, half outside garage so the crew and light was outside , in the backyard wherease the actors was under the roof. And it was noovember by night in Paris , so it was very cold ! We used kinoflo to light the green screen and 3 800w spots to lights the actors.
Spartacus, your comment is so funny I read it to all my crew.
 
most impressive.

excellent sound design as well. very professional. i've always loved the concept of creating fake commercials to show one's 'professional' potential. you guys did a tremendous job. be sure to get it out there!
 
Hey cool deal ya got going on here. Anime Inspired? Seen DEVILMAN, by chance?

I like the direction it's going, very current. You pulled off what you were trying to accomplish very well! Congrats!

I think it's pretty darned cool as it is, wondering if you cut it down to 15 or 30 seconds to get to the punchline if it would have a more polished impact?

I've always wondered how you might go about setting up these kinds of shots for keying. I really like how you managed to add your tracking markers for wings right on the actors without hindering them at all. And THEN simplified by reducing the number of trackers; very smart.

Looking forward to seeing more work from you.
 
That was great, with this kind of demo, looks like you could have a long and successful career in commercials, selling people's products for them.. What about features? Any intentions in that area? You are French, so I'd expect you to have some aspirations in that area also...
 
thanks again
kholi, i am a huge anime fan but i only saw devilman halfway through post production. i though of doing a 30s version but for now, i can't see how. But i'll find a way when i'll update my demo reel in september.
dailyrushes, of course i have intentions in features but i got a lot of things to learn first and commercial ( and other tv stuffs) seem appropriate for me now. because right now, i just want to work ;)
 
Nice. I did see a little Devilman in there, but regardless it looks great and feels great. Again, Congrats on the product.
 
really stunning work.
did you send it anywhere?
It deserves some kind of attention from production companies.
