My job involves shooting and editing video and computer graphics, so I know a little about where I speak. If this guy is trying to emulate the capabilities of 50′s shlock sci-fi, movies, he’s got it down cold. Bravo! If not, get him some real tools and training, then see what he can do because while this looks like crap, he’s got a lot of desire and heart. Or something.
Wow! Final Cut Pro X really is as bad as they say.
Too painful to watch. My 12 year old nephew does better on his laptop.
I assume Mr Gamal is currently gainfully employed … at McDonalds.
I can’t tell whether Uncle Dave is genuinely praising the video or being incredibly sarcastic.
The heading may be a “clue”:
Either the best or the worst…….kinda a tip off.
With just a little more effort he could be the next Terry Gilliam.
Could be, but likely won’t be. Just because you can swing a hammer doesn’t mean you can build houses.
The symbolism. The reflection of our self-destructive nature. It’s so deep.
The Tripod aliens so ably represent modern society’s greed. Greed that will immolate civilization as we know it.
I fell asleep during the opening credits. Did anything happen after that?
(The same thing happened when I saw Transformers 2.)
Like Republican tax policy, intergalactic war is a zero sum game.
Some of the silent movies had better effects.
#8 Since you know nothing about intergalactic war including how one might profit from it I’ll just accept the fact you said nothing.
do-ill==”one” always profits in a zero sum game.
Just cause you ain’t the one, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
Ha, ha.
I guess his last job of making cardboard spoilers for sedans didn’t pan out?
My favorite part was the way over modulated sound track. Nice.
The worst is people who can’t do any of this. The best is…well…way better.
#3: It’s a conundrum, wrapped in a fortune cookie that was baked too long.
Hope that clears it up for ya.
I had to bug out after about 3 minutes. I was starting to nod off. Like watching paint dry.
At least with 50′s movies they were using models and the perspective was usually at least in the ballpark. Plus their explosions were usually sparkler-related.
Oh, and the actors usually at least moved around and screamed while models were exploding around them lol.
How impressive
Yet what of sept 11
Was it one big conspiracy like my friend Cargo Bill insists at Tim Hortons ?
…I think you’re being a bit unkind to the ’50s.
These would be perfect special FX…..for Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place.
He must have terrorist ideas, given the material. Let’s sic the TSA after him!
