Fade to Black (my ninja movie)

[Dylflon]

Okay. Hold your money orders, people. We figured out how to get out movie onto the interweb.

It's called Fade to Black and is a 30 minute long film about ninjas who don't quite act like ninjas.

There are a couple of sound problems and lines that are lost because the lead actor has a tendency to mumble.

I directed and wrote the film and also play the grey ninja.

Dyne is in it for the first minute as the employer.

Hope you all enjoy.

It's quite a large download so prepare to have to wait a while.

436 MB! Thank goodness I have cable. It must be either long or the screen is pretty big. I'll post impressions once the download has completed and been viewed.

Progress: 4%

I liked it.


Some parts were rather random though, like, meaning some scenes we're significantly too short.

But it was still good.




And did you legally copyright it?

[GameMaster]

That was great!

Questions:

- What was the screen ratio?
- What type of camera was used?
- Who is the camera owned by?
- Description of the 'whirring' effect used when one person is looking at another person, and then the camera quickly swilvels toward that person.
- Air hockey table in kitchen used for eating and other non-air hockey actvities?
- Was this a recreational activity or a school based project?
- How much time did it take to make? How money did it cost?

Things I Liked:

- Dyne's voice
- Hearing Dylan and Phil for the first time
- Cinematography (Props to Cedric!)
- The actor who portrayed the Black Ninja
- Music selection

So overall great job.

I helped make akung-fu movie in high-school, but I have no idea how to rip from a DVD and put it on a website.

Questions:

- What was the screen ratio?

Not exactly sure. I'll ask Cedric.

- What type of camera was used?

A dvc. Nothing fancy.

- Who is the camera owned by?

The camera belongs to my school.

- Description of the 'whirring' effect used when one person is looking at another person, and then the camera quickly swilvels toward that person.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. If you mean the way the camera moves: it's just a regular pan sped up in the editing program.

- Air hockey table in kitchen used for eating and other non-air hockey actvities?

We didn't have room to set up an actual table. Plus the air hockey table was funny.

- Was this a recreational activity or a school based project?

This was our final project for film class.

- How much time did it take to make? How money did it cost?

We put in over 100 hours of work spanning over three months. It cost about $80 in total. Most of the money went into costume material and then we had to buy tapes. And we also had to buy coffee to get the cups we use in that one scene. Plus, we wanted coffee.



I'd be more than happy to field any more questions.

The best part was at the end of the credits.

" What the F**k am I doing saturday?"

" Hey are you filming !?"

" What the F**K!"

I was one of the beta testers. Man that was a great day, we scared those little girls good.
