Sonic Man by david jerome

Pros:

I liked the logo and the flying shot, very well done!

Cons:
This film just seemed too cheesy to me. I can see how it's a cool homage to the humilation training stories of the old kung fu movies, but it didn't work for me.

Overall - Entertaining in some areas, not entertaining in others.

So you liked the Logo. Next time I will make a movie of nothing but logos. :)

I think it's the little things that make a big difference sometimes, and your logo rocked! Think of the famous superhero logos, like Batman and Superman, they stay with you and the logo becomes a symbol and a way to stand for something. Instant recognition!

I'm waiting for the Sonic Man logo to be put on a T-shirt...
 
LogoFest would be awesome. Maybe cut the time down to only 3 minutes. And The winner would have his logo on free T-shirts for every member of dvxuser.

Thanks for the comments and making me laugh. You guys are awesome.

lol. This creacked me up. I liked the Monty Python-ish humor. I can only imagine what kind of fun you all had making this.

FX were impressive.
Loved the puttet/CGI bird. Great addition.
acting was fitting and funny.
Guitar against tree and reaction were great.
"Old bird" dialog was great.


VO- already mentioned.

Good fun and nice work.

It truly was fun. Lots of work, but fun. Maybe not quite as fun for Dave. For every hour of work I put in, Dave probably logged about 20.

And you're right about the Python-ish humor. The buzzard was at least partially inspired by John Cleese as the insane drill sergeant training his men how to defend themselves against fresh fruit. :)

Hey Snodart, Thanks for the comment. We did have alot of fun making this. Here are a couple of behind the scenes clips from our very first takes if you want to check it out. It set the mood for the entire shoot. We look like the three stooges here but there was a slight method to the madness. That being, you got to have fun to make a funny movie. I think it shows on screen. Thanks again for watching.

Behind The Scenes 1 (10 megs)

Behind The Scenes 2 (8 megs)

Do I smell a Metallica font? Rockin' logo. I still want a Sonic Man get-up.

Y'know... I'm a bit surprised that the Sonic Man logo is gettin' so much attention. And this kind of upsets me. Sure, the logo is cool and all, but not even one person has commented on just how way cool the Diaper Boy logo was!

C'mon... it's sweet, you have to admit! Not only that, I had designed a second version as well. But Dave shot it down (He's such demanding director). It's truly rockin', and personally, it's my favorite (see below)​

And as a courtesy. I'll be glad to provide hi-res versions of the Diaper Boy logos for anyone that would like to utilize them for iron-on transfers. :)​

OK, I'll buy a Sonic Man outfit for me, and Diaper Boy for my brother.

Please specify Diaper Boy (test logo) or Diaper Boy (movie logo) for your order since there are two versions. And don't worry about specifying size, they only come in toddler.

David
 
Yeah, I'd sport a Diaper Boy t-shirt! (the red logo from the film, not that pacifier one ;) )

But yeah guys, I really liked your film. Everything you did was done well - and I'm not just talking about the music and the logo. ha ha .

You had some cool shots; I especially liked the scene where Sonic Man was trapped in the box. It looked great and you cut it together well.

Also, you managed to pack a lot of story into 6 minutes - there is no filler!

Effects were good and not overdone.

and yeah, look at Metallica's 'Ride the Lightning' album cover - your Sonic font!

good job; glad you had fun . . .

Hey P,
I am planning on putting together a longer version. I think it will end up being around 10 minutes. I had to cut out two scenes to make the 6 minutes. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comments.

David
 
Preston,

Actually, I had no idea when I picked out the font from my collection that it was the same as used by Metallica. It was just sheer coincidence that I gave it a "metalic" look. But good catch.

bwahahah!

nice work guys

lots of great touches -- the diaper boy thing, both in conception and execution

Good acting on both parts

I enjoyed the Mystery Men homage withe th cockney version of the mystic.

It was like Monty Python meets Mystery Men!

Good VFX too.

Well cut and paced and ...

...I was hoping at the end it would say which awesome band made the music so I could pick it up...but it's original! Is there anyway I could get that song?...

Thank you for your kind words and expressing your interest for the song. I'll be sure to get you a copy.

I had to watch it twice. The first time through, I had overdosed on Herofest films, of wildly varying quality, and so my b.s. detector wasn't working--can you believe that at first I thought this short was to be taken seriously?! Now I realize it's just plain nuts...and really fun. You're insane and in the end I loved it. It's certainly unique.
