"We Are Not Alone" - Reyo-San Pictures

Hmm, you make a somewhat cool credit sequence and no one watches it... :)

I did the visuals. It was mostly composites from other footage shot with the DVX (for instance, my night time city shot was taken a year ago when I was filming a fireworks display on the river). I used clouds found on the internet to replace most of the skies you see. The wrecked cars were also pics found on the internet (which I could have shot here - New Orleans is a wrecked car paradise right now - I just didn't have time).

The only 3d work was for the alien & alien ships.

For those interested, the final version of WANA is now up on my website.

A shiny dime to the one who can name every change from the sci-fest version.

Changes, I think.

1. It starts with the text: dedicated to our hometown Katrina victims

2. Logo changed (main title)

3. Added another beat during the Kate scene in the dark

4. Slower transition from Kate night scene

5. We are not alone comes in at end into credits.

Plus there's the scene where Blake has "relations" whith one of the aliens.

Haha!

One subtle change that I personally think makes a world of difference:
The shot where Kate tells Daniel to leave him is a different take (and closer). She now says the line like she knows that she won't make it.

Also, the doll shot now has clouds which the sun comes out from behind, turning everything from a cold blue to a warm orange.

From there, I added an extra second or two to almost every shot until the end.

And last but not least...my infamous "Out of focus" shot has been toned down.

I also added real drum snare and hi-hats to the opening/closing credits, but who's gonna care about that?

The crappy lasers...let's just say I'm still too lazy to fix 'em.
 
I couldn't tell a lot of difference, mostly subtelties I guess like you said, although it felt even more like a "real movie" partially due to the subtelties I guess and probably partially due to being on quicktime ... which quicks WMV ass.

And I still think your film is better than mine.
 
No pops for me, but incidentally, I'm able to make better encodes in wmv than quicktime so that's what I generally go with.
 
Yup. PC.
While I can make really good QT video encodes, my problem lies with audio. If it doesn't sound like crap, rest assured my file is 50mb bigger than it should be.
 
I heard that same thing form another PC user today.

When you do quicktime on a MAC the audio sounds just like the aiff files ... wierd.
 
Just got my sci-fest DVD today (I'm late to the party by several months here)

Yeah, okay, so it was a little War of the Worldsish. So what? Very bad ass flick. Very well made.

Tight, engaging story- I liked the dime bit and secret hand code... homage to Close Encounters, right? Nice.

Liked the CGI and thought the Firefly/BSG zoom on alien ship passing over was cool (and appropriate- i like hyperrealism to sell unreality).

Very slick composites and great contrast work in low light.

I'll look forward to more...
