Attack Of The Killer Automobile

Well after that update, your penciled in among my 'first shorts to watch' list. I mean, that over-the-grill shot has GOT to look great. I hope it's at least a couple seconds long. 4-5 would be cool just driving in a stright line, just to see that road wiz by. :)
 
probably an off topic question, but does anyone know any tips/tricks for recording drums and guitar for a little soundtrack action? I got a drum set fully micd, but the guitar - should i send it through the amp and mic the amp, or just go straight into the computer?

thanks
 
As long as you don't have a theme song that goes something like:

"Attaaaaaaack of the Killer Automooooooobile"

Then I'm sure it'll be awesome :)
 
You can plug an electric guitar directly into a Mac and record in Garage Band with the proper adapter (e.g. iMic). No need to come out of the amp.

Also, is the dude in the center of that one BTS shot Andy Samburg's stunt double ;-)
 
Yeah but using amps and pedals gives you many more options with possible tones. Even the best recording studios don't go straight through a computer.
 
For a moment there I thought it was going to read, "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" - great "B" movie! The car is red, it could be a tomato!
 
so after an all nighter I got the film done on time and uploaded!!

please be sure to watch ATTACK OF THE KILLER AUTOMOBILE!!
 
First one I watched. Absolutely hilarious. The first sequence with the skateboarders is so great and well done. Kudos.

My one critique would be that the film starts to lag a little bit after that first sequence. Yes, the killings are really creative but it, to me, just lost a lot of momentum after that first sequence. The dialogue sequence in the driveway just seemed to slow things down for me.

Either way, there's a lot of talent on display here. The no driver stuff is awesome and the blood effects are so well timed and just hilarious.

Where in Jersey are you from? I'm in Central Jersey, myself.
 
I just wanted to say that this was very entertaining. I have only had the chance to watch a quarter of the films tonight but out of that I have come back to this film and watched it 2 times now. Great job on momentum and editing. The skateboarders performance as they came up to the car slowed it down a little for me but that was minor compared to the rest of the film. The momentum was great and the cuts were energetic. So far this has my vote and I wish you luck.
 
"MIssing Reel" stuff - I think it was unnecessary, or at least too much... the movie would have worked without it (or with less of it). I would have liked it better if you had stuck longer with the individual killing stories, but less fluff ("here, take an umbrella").

I really liked the campy 70's feel, and all the car stuff was pretty cool (and made us all at our "watch party" wonder how'd ya do it???). I was a little confused with how the first kid dies.

Music and Sound were both good... music was a perfect fit for the feel.

Thumbs up overall!
 
Wow, that was pretty interesting. The only thing I did not understand was what was the point of the film? Why was the automobile attacking people? I saw you had some missing scenes, I hope those scenes explain why it is attacking and more of the point. I liked the music, good choice of music.

That was pretty funny when you had the dummy get run over and the other one get hit by the door. Should have added some blood to make it more real looking.

Camera work for the car was great! I saw your BTS and you seemed to have a great car rig! Good work!
 
Watched it again this morning. If you have any other BTS stuff--definitely post it. Would love to see how you pulled off the "no driver" stuff.
