THE CONTINGENCY PLAN - 4 min. pyro/comedy

[Mike Conway]

I recorded the squib demos from the last IndieMeet and I didn't want them to go to waste. So, I made this short movie around them!

Starring my wife and I....

Outstanding - LMAO!!!!! I'd be careful, your wife's acting was A+

Thanks for sharing.

 

[Mike Conway]

Thanks, pixelated! Yes, I'm lucky that Sheila can turn it on like she does.

 

[Marlon Ladd]

That was pretty good. LOL. Good job. I really liked some of the effects, especially him falling out the back door. Some of the others weren't all that believable, but it doesn't matter! It's a comedy. Good job.

 

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Funny stuff! The effects looked pretty cool as well.
You guys came off quite.... natural. Maybe we should be worried.

Nice work.

Pretty funny, sound was nice, i woudl have liked a few more close ups, but not a major gripe.

I love your main actor, he has almost a Jeff Bridges quality to his voice. Cool VFX, what program did you use?

 

[Mike Conway]

Thanks, Marlon! Some of those effects were practical:

In real life, we're a pretty tight team:

Sheila can be either sweet:

Or, convincingly vicious! :laugh:

That was me. Jeff Bridges, eh? :happy:

I used After Effects, along with elements from NC.Cinema.ch and Action Essentials 2. I don't think anyone noticed yet, but I had the shells ejecting on the wrong side of the gun. I actually did that on purpose, because I wanted some of them going right at the camera.

Jeff Bridges . . I dunno.

Wife has a pretty good Amanda Tapping look going in that one pic. . .

How's she take direction ? ? ?

 

[Mike Conway]

Lately, I've been hearing that I bear likeness to Alec or Daniel Baldwin.

How's she take direction ? ? ?

Very well. She doesn't mind getting dirty, bloody or physical. She has a photographic memory - not just her's and everyone else's lines, but also how they moved or blocked the scene. If you give her a suggestion, she adjusts accordingly.

 

[CMcMahon]

That was great.

 

[Mike Conway]

Thanks, CMcMahon!

I enjoyed it. Funny stuff.

I did notice that around the 1:51ish mark there are a LOT of the same DVD. You do know you can watch them more than once and you don't have to buy that many copies, right? : P

Ha ha! Those are the STAR TREK, original series collection. Nowadays, you can buy them in 3 little cases. Back then, they came out 2 per month. The covers look the same.
