Very Nice! Not what I expected with the "low budget" disclaimer. I enjoyed the making of just as much as the video.
 
You have a VERY different definition of 'low budget' then I do! A very impressive film...even though you just threw it together in a couple weeks. :happy:
 
I can see the images, which are really nice, but no link to the movie or the making of. I feel cheated being unable to view the movie. I demand a full refund! In gold, even!

Seriously, any idea why the link isn't showing at all? Other movie links are working. Ipad 2 and iOS 6.
 
That was incredible! The CG was outstanding. I knew the locations had to be CG but was not convinced until I watched the BTS. Absolutely terrific job.
 
Wow! The CGI blew me away. This looks like a lot of work. Very impressive. I LOVE the city and house shots.
 
Miguel...Awesome Awesome job man! I guess being VFX Artists gives you that amazing edge. But enjoyed the story and the acting was great too...Good Job!!
 
Are you freakin' kidding me?! That was flingin'-flangin' amazing. Does the rest of the forum realize that there's some of the best stuff that's ever hit DVXuser in this quiet little fest? That was so good I feel like I owe you money. Everything about that was killer (pun intended).

Zero criticism. Fantastic. All of it.

I watched it twice... I'll probably watch a dozen more times... today. I thought I'd chill a bit on a second viewing... nope... I'm even more impressed. The creativity encapsulated in that couple minutes is staggering.
 
A short where the creativity is truly ENHANCED by the CGI, rather than REPLACED by it. For a lot of these types of things, it seems to be "enough" just to have the cool FX. This uses the FX to tell a story. The FX as a TOOL, not the POINT.

Massively creative. Now, if you don't mind . . . what IS "low-budget," really? :)

Matt... you really have to learn to express yourself, I mean holding it all in like this is just not a good thing. :)

I've watched this repeatly and can't get enough of it! SO well done...true professionals....top-notch production...and on a budget no less.
I too would like to know what the 'real' budget would be (including your hourly rate as a VFX artist)?
