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)."

BT Question

[agent dero]

It's happening AGAIN!

I use BT on my iBook, and everytime I start using it, I get ridiculous downloads, right now I am getting 3.2KB/s, from the 100KB/s possible on my connection, (uploading somewhere between 8-12(my max)) Everybody seems to be going super fast, but I always get shafted, why!!!! (dramatically held)

I've also had BT's in the past with 5 seeders, and 12 leechers, where I was hardly even downloading anything. What gives? Mac bias? :-p

This guy MUST be JeffK
