Homemade Star Wars Flick/Fanimatrix Movie
Geminus writes "There's a really cool fanmade Star Wars video called 'Duality' in the wild. The homemade video used only three props and apparently the quality was good enough that the makers were hired on by Lucas Films. The film was 90% made with Electric Image Universe, Adobe After Effects, FinalcutPro, and Commotion Pro. Of course the rest was the blood sweat and tears of the crew. I have to admit it is a very good example of what software can do today without million dollar render farms and special effects equipment." And as a followup to the Fanimatrix story the other day, the movie is now available: LarsBT writes "It's out. Get the full movie. Here's the torrents: normal mpeg version torrent (170 MB); Normal Divx version torrent (73 MB); and finally the High quality DivX torrent (135 MB)."

God damn it. I was half way through a bitter post complaining about inaccuracies in story titles and dupe posts after reading that story title, before I happened to glace at the middle of the blurb.
What, now you expect us to read the whole friggin' blurb? Why can't you use less confusing story titles? First we had to 'read the stories' before we posted, now we've gotta read the blurb too?
That settles it. I'm going over to Curl6fin, this place sucks.
Please help metamoderate.
were any of their names Ghislain?
I wonder where his apprentice got that paintball mask!
Well, that certainly explains why LucasFilm liked it so much.
"While the dialogue and actual acting wasn't all that great, the fight scenes were pretty creative and well done."
So, they nailed the Matrix feel eh?
*Here be Duality spoilers*
When the masked Sith gets cut in half at the end, he bleeds. Anyone else getting visions of a similar move in Episode 4 where Obi-Wan cuts off Ponda Baba's arm and he bleeds? Does this mean the masked Sith is perhaps Ponda Baba's father? That would explain his reaction to Kenobi in the cantina...
so this is the way to get a job in today's economy? Copy exactly what the potential employeer is doing and do it on a shoe string budget? So if I want to work at Microsoft I have to make my own OS?
I have no answers, just questions.
my karma will be here long after I'm gone
what is 'googled'?
heh.

I agree. I'd much rather not be able to contact the server at all. :)
