My DVX trailer

Yes, i also think that, sure with some luck, it is possible on a low/zero budget. Maybe the helicopter shot and the swat comstumes are the most expensive thing.
For the swat, you can ask people who play soft-air or paintball; and for the helicopter; here in italy a 30 min fly can cost less than 100 Euro.
 
Im also from Vancouver and I think I recognize one of his locations. The sandy desert scene looks likes the Fraser River sandpit. Its a city district own property where they remove excessive amounts of sand from the shipping channels of the river. A few years ago I've PA'd at this location on Stargate SG1. A location manager mentioned it costs around $1,000 - $10,000 per-day to use this particular "desert" look alike location. However, it is possible to sneak in and film a few scenes without anyone knowing.

As for creating this film by himself, I personally think its a small dosage of BS to his story. Its either this guy has 8 arms or multiple clones of himself. Gotta love them clones!

my 2 cents, nice trailer though.
 
Shame on the people on this post who don't belive everything Ozan said. Honestly, he did everything by himself with help of good professional actors he knows through work. I know him and have seen him struggling to finish the meth film in his free time. Free time, by definition, in weekends and times when he was not working. And if I tell you who has him been working with and what stuff on TV you have seen was done by him, you will know that he's as authentic as it gets. He still has my digital camera for location scout! Come on guys, leave your egos on the side and be honest about video/film making in this forum. It was shot on just a damn good old DVX100 without ANY 35 adapters BUT with years of professional film making experience. that's the key to anything, isn't it? Just close your eyes and think how much junk people or Hollywood can put out using 35mill film or HD cam or just any countless better cams than DVX with huge production budget and crew. If you are still not a believer, hey come up with a budget and hire Ozan to shoot your film ! That is, if you can afford him and if he likes your script.

VERY well done, bro. You've kept getting better and better and I am so proud of you.

is that you, ozan?
 
Cool trailer. In the mov I downloaded, there seems to be interlacing artifacts during movement in scenes. If you step through it, you can see those scan lines. Wondering why?

Would love to hear some more info on production. Maybe some behind the scenes pix.
 
Post in Quicktime 6!!!! You posted it in Quicktime 7. Or post on youtube or something bro!

I downgraded my Mac OSX after a system issue and I can't download Quicktime 7 unless I upgrade mY OS. Monopoly.

jesus christ!!! when i read "fun" and "project" i was sure i was subjecting myself to another cringe-fest shot by a teenage mongoloid in his aunt's house. this looks truly incredible. would love to know the budget, how long it took to shoot, and the cam settings/adjustments in post. the contrast is gorgeous, DOF stunning in some shots. keep us posted.
Sorry but don't you think that's a pretty politically incorrect (and probably derogatory) thing to say and use as a reference? Nevermind the fact that the film was beautifully shot...
 
Wow this thread is getting weird. Now we have the mysterious Medianinja coming to his defense and oddly sounding just like Ozan. And still no details on anything. I still maintain that what he showed us was possible for him to do on his own, at least as a trailer. But at this point I'm done defending him. If this is all to drum up attention for something that was already very well done, then that's way too manipulative for me to even want to deal with.

I think I need to stop reading this thread before I scream.

Come to think of it, we should all just walk away from this one.
 
I really like video! whn i put video up i no its good. I put video thru very spe-cial camra called dvx. all shts wre dun with no money and pennys on the doller. whn ppl disagree with me and myself, i dont understand. its jst me doing my bst with just me and know-one else.

somebody loan me mercedes 4 free.
 
seems alot of people are not convinced ozan shot it all by himself. While I am TRULY impressed by the work, I have to say I also have my doubts that he proposed he did it on his own on pennies. Kinda dangerous if you think about it since what you're doing can be misconstrued as basically misrepresenting yourself (if that is the case, if you're not then I have to apologise) can and claiming something which is not true (or not completely true).

in any case, whether or not you did it on your own or with a team, or it just dropped out of the sky as a DV file right onto your lap, it is still mighty impressive and congratulations on a job VERY WELL done on the trailer.

Looks nice. Poorly written. "I can't shake em!"
I totally think he could have done this on the cheap.
OMG. THE only voice of reason in this ENTIRE thread. FINALLY someone came out and said it.
What is the big deal? Go buy a Letus, play dress up with some friends and bring a good story.

PFFT. And for those of you who aren't thinking clearly--

The aerial shot didn't even HAVE to be real footage. It could've been a hi-res still from an aerial shot moved in post with a few effects over it.

Come on people... Don't get pimped by the simple.

Heyy! I am so mad at you guys! I have been working for industry in many dozens of years + shame on your selves for talking 2 ozan like that. ozan is a great great filmmaiker, like Peter Jackson and I have every belief in him that he made the movie in question? I would give all of yr selves a slap on the rist b/cause ozan made this movie all for free and with pennies. he use camera with shutter and if u don't belief him then you have bad written on your forehead. Ozan duzn't need 2 anser your questions b/cause i have every believe that he is not have to listen to the dvxuser bandwagon of meanness. Stop attacking him or I will get to angry land.

Now you're just being silly. I hope a mode comes about and strikes you down if you're Ozan in disguise.

Please, repeat the last three words to the Transformers theme. Thank you.
