Night of the Panther

[boulder]

After a train full of zoo animals derails, a group of friends experience strange otherworldly forces while frantic ideas and paranoia run rampant. In the clutches of an ancient bloodthirsty terror, the poor souls who party on the porch, find out that the jungle can become a terrifying state of mind for those who, like Alfred, just want to have "little fun"

I haven't watched this yet because my computer at work won't play youtube or any video types, but man, if you're going to be judgemental, at least provide some sort of constructive criticism.

if you're going to be judgemental, at least provide some sort of constructive criticism.

Have you thought maybe that perhaps there is not too much to give? People have to be able to take whatever criticism comes your way standing up. If somebody says is a great piece great, if somebody has the guts to say it stinks, well fine too. We are all grown ups around here right?

Can't I get some kind of prize?

 

[boulder]

My friend called me up and said "they got beer over here! Grab your camera and let's make a movie!" So we grabbed a stuffed panther and three hours later we had an epic.

I actually thought this was pretty cool, in a trippy step back in time kind of way.
The cast was just wild and the way you shot it was actually quite creative.

Way over the top in spots but that's what makes it work.

I could see certain circles enjoying the hell out of this. Not everyone's cup of tea though, that's for sure.
You definitely have a distinct style to your film-making and that's not a bad thing.
Sue me, I got a kick out of it.

My next one I promise will have a script

 

[John Caballero]

The most important fact is that you are out there working hard on your craft. Good luck with all your projects.

This was like some weird Quentin Tarantino stuff... but I like the shots

 

[Erik Olson]

Like Russ Meyer and the Dolls and Alice Cooper meet George Romero and a Maysles on someone's porch. I call it genre-busting. Oh, with some Richard Elfman thrown in for good measure.

Not the greatest film in the world BUT the color correction was amazing. I love that vintage look you had going on. What lens did you use to shoot this and what color correction was applied? Third party software or whatever was in your editor?

 

[boulder]

Thanks. I used a Tamron 17-50 because that happened to be attached. Started with the Blockbuster setting in Magic Bullet and used AAV colorlab for most of the tweaking. Actually I would pull some of the yellow out of spots if I were going to put any more effort in. I added grain and dust and tiny bit of hair.

If it were the best film we would all be in trouble. This is a combination of beer, having a good camera on a Sunday afternoon and making up the story as we shot.
