Check out the "trailer-scene" for our World War II horror feature - http://horrorsofwar.sonnyboo.com CLICK TO SEE "Horrors of War". How many times have you seen a trailer & then the movie sucked? We want to demonstrate that we can actually tell a story, so we choose to do a teaser scene from the beginning of the movie and use that as our "trailer".
3 min 30 sec scene (plus a seperate 1 min FX demo)

Trailer-Scene with Super 8 mixed with 16mm/35mm
Moderator: Andreas Wideroe
The entire clip has 16mm, 35mm, and Super 8 shots peppered in through the entire thing. It was an experiment to se how wel cross formats could cut together for the interests of creating a sense of chaos. In the end, the majority of the movie will be shot in 16mm because the look was the closest to what we intended. We might use things like Super 8 for more extreme POV shots or very specific action.
The WINDOWS MEDIA file is a lot less compressed than the quicktime file. I can't re-encode the movie again because it's already chewing through 5-6 gig of bandwidth a day as it is right now.
We shot for one 10 hour shoot day, but with 2 units shooting simultaneously (on occassion a B-Roll super 8 film 3rd unit too). We only shot 1,000 feet of 35mm film, 400 feet of 16mm, and 250 feet of Super 8 film.
It took under 2 weeks to get the film processed (from Crest National), then another week to get the telecine done(Indie-Post.com). FX took about 3 weeks, and sound design (still ongoing) is not finished yet.
Donald L. Drennan did the visual FX work. He used LIGHTWAVE for 3D animation, Adobe PHOTOSHOP for the matte paintings, Adobe AFTER EFFECTS for compositing, and maybe a little COMMOTION for tweaking.
We only had 1 Allied re-enactor show up and we had to share 3 uniforms between 6 characters. We spit screen with After Effects and also did 100 year old editing techniques of swapping uniforms & edit around the missing characters. Welcome to low budget Hell.
Whole thing will be finished in April 2005
