Bleh, wmv......... DivX is your friend.
The DivX Pro 5 encoder is included with the latest version of the Kazaa Lite (K++) codec pack, incase you wanted it.
Downloading now.....

There is a DivX version, but it's 200mb....
Yeah WMV isn't too bad, it's just MS, hehe.
Nice video.

Haha, well, no, unfortunatly there is no "good" version, all versions kinda suck. But yeah there is a higher "quality" version.

LOL. I was just being a butt. You actually did a pretty decent job considering you're not a production studio.

Yeah, I was impressed, but I think you need to do a little bit more work on the basics, i.e dialogue and the basic script.
However it was certainly very authentic, at least in comparison to the Martix Reloaded, as I had no idea what the hell was going on.;)
All jokes a side though, it certainly shows potential, there were some good scenes, and the green screen work was a nice touch.
I look forward to more.

After reading your comments in one of the news threads bud, I'm starting to think you have a problem.

Scene Seven is already complete, some editing maybe but I don't really have anything to do with it. I also thought scripiting was our biggest flaw, but over time I assume it will get better.
Haha, and about the agent Screwing trinity, well, that was implied. We didn't really feel like making a sex scene with my friends little sister....
Anyway, thanks for the great feedback, if anything else comes up we'll be sure to let you guys know.

I hope the next installment has more violence :D
You could use the light saber effects that people use on the star wars spoofs they make. That would be sweet.

The video was great. I really enjoyed it!!

I didn't like it so much.
The dialogue was just a turn-off to me. Sorry. :(

Great job man! As a zero budget mini-film maker myself I really can appreciate your efforts, keep us updated with your latest stuff!

"Neo" definitely isn't up for "Best Actor."

Haha, well he wanted to be neo, and he bought the camera...soooo.... :) None of us have any talent, but it was fun nonetheless.

Hey Wahoogie, got any specifics on the editing program used and how bullet effects/green screen work was done? I'm very interested!

We used Adobe Premier, as well as 3DSMax for some of the "Scenes" in the green screen as well as the bullet and stuff. Premier is a GREAT program for this type of stuff, and it had everything we wanted. The green screen was just a tarp... and we just "pasted" the scenes we rendered in 3dsmax onto everything green. Not the best job, and some things took a while to look right, but it worked for what we needed.
Edit: didn't answer the bullet question. For that we just created an transparent environment with the bullet flying through and lined it up with the gun. However, since the camera moves it was a bit of a PITA!
Also, if any of you have advise for us, we will come out with some films in the future. We COMPLETELY winged this film, as it shows. If you know the order that we filmed the scenes, it's quite apparent that we learned a lot as we went.
hey man, I've been wondering what year/model car is the "Morpheus" character in your movie driving? I know it's a Subaru, but, I havent really looked much at them so I have no idea what model it is and stuff, Im not a big fan of the newer subarus with the big round lights, but I really like the look of that car and I'm lookin for new cars right now

Not sure of the specific year... not newer than '00, it's the year before the WRX was made (It's the N/A Impreza.)
