I thought the movie looked great and, more importantly to me, sounded great. I could quibble about some very minor things, but they would be exactly that… minor.

On second viewing, I really liked the sound of the guns during the big shooting scene. The reverberation was perfect for the location. I also like that he kept Enoch breathing heavy during the "chase" scene. It's stuff like that that really makes a film for me. Mike did a great job with the mix as well. My only complaint is that he used the same defribrillator sound that I used in one of my shorts. :-)

First of all thank you sooooo much for the positive FB. That means a lot coming from. Matt was happy with it and that is what is important. Anyway i'm glad you were at least somewhat impressed. Thanks. Oh by the way that was a camera flash recharging sound not a defribrillator ha ha no harm no foul. Thanks again man.
 
noise.

noise.

that part when he kicks the gun back at him looks like it was perfectly exposed at 320 asa with plenty of lighting, not underexposed at 640 with every available watt and car headlight in a mile radius pointing at it. amazing what you can pull from 120 fps at night underexposed and still look less grainy than a 250 film stock.

everything else was great - but I'll talk about that more later.

Thanks for dropping in Justin! Your Cinematography was amazing and thanks again!:love4:
 
All I have to say is YEAH! Karate kick to the gun was awesome. This had intense action and thrills. I liked it! And the Red is awwwwesome.
 
Yeah it seems to be a consensus... the CGI sucked... sorry guys... just ran out of time... to much going on... needed so much MORE polish!

Tell those Xgliders I am going to jump them and beat the living crap out of them the next time I meet them in a dark alley:violent5:


Seriously though. I was pleased with the end. It would have been nice to have the time Mark put into your spot, but it worked out fine.


I think people are enjoying the film and that is what matters to me. I want them to cheer and say Woohoo!
 
I really thought you guys did a good job with the keying in the white room scene. I'm not exactly sure why it just felt right. And I too liked the sound and the score.

Thanks! We definitely wanted the actors to blend with the room and have some white wash on them to fit in. Mark did great on the keying, Mike rocked the sound, and Justin wrote a great score. I appreciate all the work they did. I am glad you enjoyed the movie!:love4:
 
loved the tracking shots of the running in the parking lot. The kick was very cool. I didnt really understand HOW the button worked or WHY but I guess it was enough to know that he needed to PUSH IT.

I wondered why you chose to have a ceiling fan in the house shot... it was an angle that wasnt very flattering for his wife? Everything else seemed so much larger than life and those shots seemed a little ordinary.

All in all a very entertaining experience

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I loved the framing in that shot and had kept it all the way from the storyboards. The drifting steam from the mug, the swirling fan and the couple on the right, with Enoch and his height angling the line down into the scene.
I could see what you mean about the low angle being slightly unflattering when I had her tilt her head, but I just love that shot! hehe:engel017: Also my wifey was only three weeks post partum, so she looked dang good. :grin:


Thanks for stopping by!:beer:

Not correct. The CGI didn't "suck". It was wonderful. It wasn't as polished as you wanted because you are a man of your word and worked hard to help some friends with VFX for their movie company so they could make money to eat, pay rent, etc.

You gave over three weeks of your hard work and spare time so those friends could be helped on their commercial project. That took three weeks of your time away from PUSH and NETHERBORN.

The fact that you postponed your dreams of NETHERBORN temporarily, and then had less than two weeks to do the VFX on PUSH, for the service of others is admirable, and shows what a high quality person, DP, AD, VFX junkie, and special effects guru you are!

So, for a guy just getting the rough for slightly less than two weeks, working his day job, loving his family, driving two hours a day commuting to that day job, AND shooting a soon to be released FANTASTIC SHORT, NETHERBORN at the same time...

YOU DID GREAT!!! :kali:

Love ya big guy! :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)


 
Here is a re-post of a more fair angle of Heather...va-va-voom! What a cutie.:)

I would say i wish I could pull off CGI like that. I wasn't sure where the hell it came from in the parking garage but there it was and I thought it was cool. Good job guys the only thing I hate about you guys is you have a RED and I don't.
