Originally I was going to go overboard with blood in this movie, but as the movie developed more into a western than a sci-fi movie, I kinda started leaning more toward the less emphasized blood and gore of the spaghetti westerns. Plus overly gory is kind of a cleche in student films that I...

Part 7's up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8GNT4vBFAY

That would be cooler, but as you said, it's the money issue. Most likely what'd happen is that they'd do what they did with Hitman and Max Payne: Hollywood the fuck out of it, cast someone who's got name recognition over those who could actually play the part true to the character, and make it...

^^^ I've done it before with prop versions of the same gun, and I probably wouldn't do the whole John Wayne flip thing. Aside from the fact that it'd be easier and faster to work the lever by swinging the gun downward and back up again, the flip is hard to do if you're not a big guy with...

^^^ Yeah, I'd already been thinking the same thing actually. I've been giving it a lot of thought and narrowed it down to two choices: a reproduction 1887 Winchester (dunno why they call it a Browning in the link you posted), or a reproduction Colt 1878 coach gun. Both would have the stocks...

Your googlefu is weak, young grasshopper. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/AMM010-5.html http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/AMM018-5.html It's not a state issue: federal US Law states that any shotgun with a barrel shorter than 18 inches qualifies as a Short Barreled Shotgun, or SBS, and is...

^^^ You are correct sir: it's a non-firing prop. Blanks are not that expensive if you order them online, but I was doing this in a city neighborhood and couldn't use them even if I wanted to. That being said, I'm looking for a replacement shotgun for this character that can fire blanks. I do...

^^^ Thanks. The music in this scene I feel is particularly well suited to it. You can hear the influence of Willie Nelson's Dead Man soundtrack the most in this scene I feel, also. I tended to use music sparingly in this movie, partly because I didn't have much to work with but mostly...

Absolutely correct: we kinda got unintentionally hypocritical with this scene. The reality of it was that this whole gunfight was almost completely improvised due to the last minute location change, and we kinda got at cross purposes. The awkward angles were something of a necessity of the...

Possibly. We'll see how the recording of the last of it goes. We kinda did that on purpose. I say kinda, because a lot of details changed at the last minute with this shoot: the actor playing the guy in green, the weapons he was armed with, and primarily the location. We ended up deciding...

I actually got a pair of local guitarists to do the soundtrack. Anything throughout you hear that's synthesizer was done by myself, but they did all the guitar work. They're both very talented: I basically gave them my notes on what I wanted to hear, a copy of the movie without music, and...

^^^ Yeah, but to be fair, it's easy to find a video camera: it's hard to find a good one, or good sound equipment to go with it, without a serious budget. This ain't bad for something that probably cost next to nothing to produce.

Hey man, I didn't even know you were on these forums. Should have guessed though, you're one of the only people I know that's into Fallout.

^^^ Hey man, if you want to have a go at a soundtrack, particularly if you play guitar, go right ahead. I'd love to get more dedicated people helping out. If you want, drop me a PM with your email and I can forward you what we already have of the soundtrack. The way Neil Young did the Dead...

^^^ Much appreciated. I checked out some of your youtube stuff too by the way and it's pretty cool. I've actually started working with a different artist already. But here's the problem, for this movie, I had a very specific idea for what I wanted; blues/western guitar. This evolved into...

Here's the trouble with giving out the full version, and I think it's a bit ironic that I'm answering this right now as I've spent the last 2 hours getting very angry at my soundtrack artists for this very reason. I have a complete cut of the movie. In my opinion, it's awesome: it is, down...

I felt that Gray should show an obvious lack of sympathy for the man in the wagon: after all, the man in the wagon is a coward. Thus, I consciously played the part stoic in that scene. For better or worse, this is a -student- film: they always inevitably fall somewhere between Jackass style...
