This is seriously very impressive. I think my two biggest questions are cost and music. How much does it cost to produce and how is the music scored? Real instruments, computer? Please, do tell!!
fantastic concept, you should keep it as an internet art film and let the world see it on the internet, you have original frist going on, and it seams to be well liked. of corse I know it cost to make such an production with many people involement, but it looks great as an internet art film. R.G.
Yo John, I got a big question, is this Sister the same Battle Jitni sister that was mentioned in Kill Battle Jitni? You know the one Uriel did horribly painful things to involving legs or something?
@strikeaposefilm Haha. Well, The Danger Element isn't really supposed to be connected to the continuity of those old shorts. I think we totally just improvised that whole scene in KILL BATTLE JITNI about him having a sister that Renaldo murdered and covered it up with a knitting accident story. I'm so impressed that you remember that.
@Battlejitni Awww bummer. JK though, seriously can't wait to see Jitni's first words in Part 3- seems like it's gonna be some intense drama between the two rival sibs! Is this connected at all to Gauntlet of Sorrow? I see that the Agency is back in some of the trailers. I always wanted to see what the Father's last ominous words towards BattleJitni would lead. I really love those shorts- they were and are big inspirations back in the day, which would be awesome to chat with you about sometime!
brilliant! Can't wait for episode three! Fond as I am of ATV, Sock baby, and Go sukashi this is the best project i have seen from westhavenbrook so far! Well damn it keep up the great work, but do some more ATV!!!!!!!!!
I apologize if I'm repeating another comment, but will you be continuing the series if the $10,000 deadline isn't met? The story is fascinating and your choreography is amazing. I'm really looking forward to episode 3. I just donated 20 dollars. I wish I could've given more. If I were an eccentric millionare, I would donate the rest of the funds you need in a heartbeat. :)
If the kickstarter thing doesn't reach its goal, we don't get any of the money and no one gets charged. I plan to make this series one way or another, whatever it takes, but I will definitely have to come up with a new plan if the kickstarter thing doesn't work out. Thanks a lot for the support!
@ratso1994 Thank you! I composed the score for the entire film, trailer as well as the orchestral parts for Ep1. A pure honor and pleasure to work with Westhavenbrook.
Battle Jitni speaks!? I believe the preview for the next chapter shocked and amazed me, John, and I'm ready to see the rest of this great series!
Good luck with the filming, and you better believe I'm buying the DVD when it's out! As I've told you before, Battle Jitni is one of my favorite of your characters, so this is really exciting.
@zippo360 Yep! As a matter of fact, click on the big donate button on the top of the BattleJitni youtube channel. There is a way to get the DVD there (when its finished)
These are really incredible. I'm attending the LA film school and working on a Marvel fan film as my thesis. VERY similar cinematography to this! I've done Okanawin martial arts for 13 years and my other main actor has studied Japanese mainland Karate for 14. I was wondering where you guys are located and if you'd be interested in doing some work together in the future?
@Battlejitni your actor didn't really do that 360 kick to the stomach at 1:22, did he? cuz i'm guessing what you did was have him start the spin with the over-the-shoulder shot, then stopped, positioned the camera from the side, had then had him jump and kick battle jitni?
Hey I would love to see a big strong guy in the next movie-and a fight seen were battlejitni has to jump to avoid the guys power because hes to strong
I understand the difficulties of producing a film with little or no money, and let me just say that visually what you have accomplished is impressive. That said. I don't believe cutting your story into these short segments serves the plot properly. You have just enough time to start building some suspense, or excitement, or emotion, and then it's all lost while your audience has to wait for the next episode.
Great episode from a great series, I like the short episodes, they're sort of like motion picture comics, but I have to say a few of the fight scene shots go by alittle too fast, there was a second where I was just,"whoa, what happen?" but all in all your still doin great
Hey, another great episode. Wish it was a little longer though. I do understand how hard it is to do these things without money. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next episode.
This was a lot of fun, but sadly I think Carlos Vasquez was a little to hammy for my taste. I perfer part 1. That being said, the teaser for the next episode hooked me. The shots look great, and I am curious to find out a little more about Jitni himself and his relationship with the Cassie Meder character(especially since Jitni hasn't had any lines in this series yet...) Look forward to the next one guys.
@JohnAllenSoares but why? its creates a deeper sense of involvement with the story and characters. and its really only 3 min. not nearly enough to keep me sucked in for next time!
By the time this is done im willing to wager it will better then a few hollywood films i have seen recently, may be not special effects wise of course, but they have money. you however, have story. 5/5
Your fight sequences are great as usual. One thing that stood out was the rifle Cassie Meder's character was carrying, what did you guys make it from?
Awesome! Not too sure what Zvoryginn is talking about. The colors are great in this. Teal would stick out like a sore thumb. One thing that has really impressed me with the show is it's consistency in color/tone, etc.
More super spin kick slo-mo face collisions. Do the teal and orange trick. Orange is the closest color on the color wheel to skin color, and the direct opposite is teal. It creates a good contrast and alot of your shots had lots of dull colors in them. The guy with the gun (Mr.SaltyMan? ) is a good actor but Carlotto seems like the actor has a childs personality and he is justplaying with his toys and you happened to videotape him. No offense. Overall this was GREAT!.
@Mekilae Over the course of that year we've actually shot material for about six episodes. Its just really hard to produce one complete episode of this with no money. Its kind of a huge project that has no budget. So its either money or time and all we have is time.
Been waiting for this for a long time. Can't wait for the next episode. I will be donating money for your upcoming projects as soon as my salary arrives! :-)
