First zombie part looked weird for a second. Thought he was sucking off the dead guy. Overall, pretty good though. Bloody effects weren't too bad.

I was under the impression that a film is supposed to have a story.

Executed pretty well. The blood effects were awesome. Some advice, I know its hard, but try to make it harder to kill the zombies. I guess it takes more time/costs more to use gun effects, but for what you had you did pretty damn well. Also, Background music would do wonders. For example, when that one zombie has him pinned down and blood is dripping and the zombie is making noises, some background music there would be perfect.

Overall, pretty good dude

i'll watch the whole thing during lunch, just one question for now: did you set something up with the neighbors or something? i just imagine that it'd be difficult to not have any traffic or random people around. plus idk about where you live, but if i were to walk down the street with a baseball bat, wearing blood stained clothes and "beat down" some dude in front of a house, i'd be in cuffs in no time.

but from what i saw, looks pretty good.

LOL. I could do that with my neighbors in their front yards watching with no prior warning and no one would care. They'd all assume it was nothing bad. But I live in a very good neighborhood.

thats awesome actually. If you had a real camera, it wouldve been 100x better. Did you film it on your cellphone?

Do you have any idea how much it costs to shoot on actual celluloid film?

lol, first shot I can tell you only have one camera. I had a video editing class in high school and we did some amazing things. I was the only one who got an A because no one read the requirement for the final project but me.

He's probably shooting 5207, a 16mm gauge stock which isn't that expensive. Processing, telecine, and tape transfers, all which have to be done in order to edit on a non-linear editing system, add up in $$ very quickly. Plus 16mm film doesn't have an audio track so that's got to be recorded separately. It's not like you just shoot the film and voila it's on your comp, it's a very lengthy and expensive process.

oh i know. we shoot and have to record separately. and once we finish shooting, my friend sends out all the film to a place in new york called color lab. but since he knows the manager, he gets all his film processed for like a fourth of the price. so really, i guess i dont really know how expensive it actually is.
