An EQ-based Video Project

[cheerios]

Hi folks, I made this video for a visual effects class quite some time ago (around 2 years ago) and I've never gotten around to sharing it here. I've been a long time lurker of this site, and I never got around to registering either (guess I didn't feel like joining another potentially addictive forum lol). Well with the advent of YouTube, I was reminded that I needed to share it with the EQ community! I drew a lot of inspiration from Equilibrium, and EQ is up there as one of my favorite movies

Here's the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHtyaP3a9iM

And here's a little something about it:

A short film I made for a visual effects class, based on the films "Equilibrium" and "Matrix". I think it's funny how the bad guys never seem to be able to hit the hero in the movies. I blatantly show that in this movie, because no matter how much the enemies seem to be firing, the hero is unscratched and emerges victorious.

This is a super amateur-level film, with corny special-effects. However it was very fun to make, and hopefully you will all enjoy the corniness to its full extent.

Keep in mind this is a super amateur short film, so try not to be too harsh with your comments ;D

Oh I almost forgot, there's actually a downloadable version that's of higher quality here: www.wushucentral.com/videos/v.php/miscellaneous

Just scroll down until you see "Rush".

Enjoy!

Alex that was bloody superb!!! Loved it... and had a damn good laugh at the "corniness"...got any more or was that the only one?

hahahahahhaa this is seriously cool !!

especially your mouthcorner crawling up
yeah, i like it a lot

[Amie]

I loved it! Corniness and all! I can see how much you enjoyed making it. Loved the choice of music. ;D

[cheerios]

Glad you all like it! And thanks for the comments I wish I had more similar videos to show you but unfortunately that's the only one for now... I do, however, have a sequel planned in my head for some time now. Just need to find time to actually do it... argh

This movie was really fun to make, and I have fond memories just watching the video again Which makes me want to do that sequel ASAP! I just need to find the time and resources now though... but it's been something that I planned on doing for a long time now. It'd be longer, more extensive, and not limited to just one scene. It'll actually be more like a short film... hehe, but we'll see if I ever get around to it.

If and when I do though, I'll be sure to share it with you guys!

Welcome to the forums cheerios, great video

[cheenie]

Great video Alex!!!

Welcome to the Resistance. ;D

What I loved about it was the fact that with all the rounds fired at you, the glass behind you never breaks ... cognitive dissonance at its finest!

Great job on the video, cheerios!

It looked like you had a blast making that - some nice moves you pulled off during the course of that fight too.

Im assuming you've studied some form of martial arts from watching that?

[cheerios]

Mr. A - I studied wushu (hence the "Wushu Central Presents" at the beginning), the Chinese martial art. Our practices were pretty much the same routine as when the actors were training for the Matrix, so you should know what I'm talking about

Aedh - yeah, we all had good laughs about the fact that the glass never breaks. It would've been way too expensive to do something like that, but I think it adds to the corniness well

Thanks for all the welcomes and comments, folks
