Just completed and posted the full trailer for my newest film, "Cave Women on Mars." The film was shot on a DVX100a and edited using Sony Vegas 8. Enjoy!

It's also available at YouTube but, of course, looks far worse than the WMV file above.

Thanks for watching! If anyone's in the upper midwest, the premiere will be at the Heights Theater in Columbia Heights, MN on Apri 12th, 2008. The DVD will be available online the next day. :)
 
Whoot! get to see a trailer for this thing!

I like it. It's cheesy and campy and everything you'd expect. Hoped for a bit more skin, being amazon women and all, oh well. :D

Also, a forest on mars? I know it's campy and all that, but wouldn't it make more sense to be rocky at least? :)
 
I think you'd gain something by tinting the Mars scenes red - call it a pioneering effort in COLOR films. A cheap no-budget way to make the forest seem "Martian".
 
Not bad.

I liked the other trailer better but this is a very good one two.

I might dumb down the tech and look a bit to make it more in line with what we would have seen in the period.

But, I am interested in seeing the complete film all the same.
 
Campy and quirky - I love it. :love4:

But where'd you get the monster outfit? Any particular reason you shot 16:9 vs. 4:3? (considering most low budget sci-fi films were still being shot 4:3 in the non-color era)

Even though I do strive for a certain sense of authenticity, I'm not bound to it like a lead weight. My modern sensibilities creep in a little, hence my use of 16:9 (besides, I wanted to look like a BIG BUDGET B-movie from the era) and some of the obviously modern looking digital effects. It's hard to toe the line always and sometimes, I just have to go over it!

The alien gorilla costume is literally just a store-bought monkey outfit spray painted silver with balsa wood horns. There's also some digital seam blending (the costume WAS really cheap) and obviously the addition of the glowing eyes in post.

The forest is only part of the film. Much of it takes place in rocky expanses. Mostly though, I was going a bit over the top with humanity's ignorance about Mars at the time if the film was to have filmed in roughly 1955, which is what I usually use as the reference for my films. If anyone else is interested, I also made two others in the same vein: "The Monster of Phantom Lake" and its sequel, "It Came From Another World!"
