Part 4 of our web parody has been released. (I've also included the first three parts as well). This is a parody between three of the biggest franchises in modern game history (well actually, three now.)
Parts 1 and 2 started as us just playing with the 7D to see what it could do. We had so much fun, we just kept going and kept upping our game as we went along. Some notes as to what we did:
All filming was done on the Canon 7D (two of them) using a variety of lenses. The most common lenses we used were the Sigma 30mm, Tokina 11-16mm, Canon 10-22mm, Bower 85mm, Sigma 50mm, Canon 70-300mm (I believe, not my lens) and a Canon 50mm. (We had overlap since we were shooting two cameras).
A big special thanks to CMR who build the blackbird stabilizer as they provided us with two blackbirds for this shoot. We used them A LOT.
In addition, a big thanks to Kessler Crane who also sponsored us with a crane, to which I also purchased their flex dolly system. Their equipment is ROCK solid and was so easy to use.
Also thanks to smallHD who loaned us a DP6 to use (along with our DP1x we had) and to Sigma who had us evaluate the 50mm F1.4 for video purposes. I ended up buying a DP6 I was so happy with the results.
I did 3D modeling and special effects with both Blender and Maya, in addition to using Kiloton by Blastcode for the physics destructions. Compositing done in After Effects, along with Photoshop. Optical Flow was used from Motion for some slow motion work.
Audio done with Logic Pro and Final Cut. All coloring and editing done in Final Cut.
If anyone has any specific questions, let me know. We are now working on Part 5 which should be out in a few months or so I imagine. I've got one of the hardest 3D modeled scenes I have ever done coming up on the last one.
And thanks again to everyone! The things I have learned here on DVXuser have been a tremendous help.
