The movie was shot on a stock EX1 with a LOT of post! Music is Believe from Australian band Fastrack, thanks for all the great support! OUr first movie BLOOD TIES comes out Feb 15th... action action and oh yeah... action! Trailer on the page! Blood Ties filmed 'ultra indie' in Thailand, Cambodia, Miami, DC, Atlanta, and in mountains of Virginia, AOF's "Action Film of the Year" and many more... thanks all!
@Verbatim112 Fastrack - this was off our first EP, our new EP titled "Steal the Show" has just been released, check out our page to see our new single/video .\m/
Very nice action and sound editing in this trailer. Most people wouldn't have any left after using this much in the trailer. I met Kely in LA at the ABFF around 2007. I missed his film "Blood Ties" that week but I realized that he was a guerilla filmmaker from ATL to DC to Thailand (I always think that he told me Vietnam). He reminded me a little of Mel Gibson; friendly and quiet as we all talked at the Beverly Wilshire. His choreography is far from relaxed in his trailers. Tieuel Legacy!
@DarthV87 Wow! What a fantastic thing to say! Make your movie! Please let this encourage you... I wish U much luck and success! I'll try to keep posting info on the website that may be useful...
@mauri383 thx so much. We are trying to get it out there! More clips, interviews and trailers coming soon... I really do appreciate your kind comments! kely
@mauri383 thx so much for the nice comment - Just returned from the Action On FIlm Int'l Film Fest in LA - we were lucky enough to win Best Director... :) Thx again!
@Tadek59 Thank you! We just returned from the AOF film festival in LA where we had our world premiere... packed theater and up for 5 awards... we walked away w "Best Director"... thanks so much for the support!
Hey Fastrack here, Stoked your using our song in this trailer. We just put some new live videos up on our youtube so check it out! This trailer looks great! Lots of action, lots of blood, great camera work!
@jayrellz Not out yet! Just getting it done... will have more clips up soon and news about screenings! Thanks again my friend - keep creating and making kick ass music :)
as i see the trailer wow pretty much intense! i'm not that expert but i guess songs is quite ok..jive the movie perfectly..but well, i'm entitled to my opinion to express my thoughts as a regular viewer..:)
Well the image quality is great, and you have some nice little acting bits in there. But wow is that trailer waaaay too long.
And it did nothing to make me want to see the movie. Mainly because I have no idea what it's about. From this trailer it looks like it's an hour and a half of guys in wifebeaters punching and shooting each other.
And wow is that song terrible. Maybe you were doing a friend a favor or something, but seriously. Change it. It brings the overall quality down a lot.
This movie is full of real-world toughguys making street fighting look real. Someone mentioned about the "wanna be" tough guys. HELLO! This kind of action can't be made up with non-fighters!
I believe there was a little real blood thrown in the mix too!
Good production values. The trailer is about 1 minute too long.
And it doesn't tell you anything about the film. Other than it is about cops or something, gangsters.
You don't get a feel for who the people in the film are. It is too impersonal. It is still well done despite the low budget.
I'd say some editing was needed to make the trailer more coherent. Plus the title reminds me of the title Gigli. It's like, what kind of title is that and how the fuck do you pronounce it?
As far as film quality, it looks really good. Other than the aforementioned "darkness" the visuals seems really tight and the film quality is top notch!
One last thing, I'm a pretty fast reader, but the "blurbs" of reviews disappear so quickly that I'm not able to finish reading them before they go away. Perhaps a second or two longer would suffice, I mean, if you're going to use them you might as well showcase them in all their glory, otherwise what's the point.
I think the "banned" title card is a god choice. It sets the mood and gives folks a heads up to what's coming. But, the music takes away from the suspense that the "banned" title card evokes. If the music waited to come in afterward, the silence would ad to the mood and the suspense a red "BANNED" title card brings.
Also, it's hard to get a sense of what the film is about really.
This is one of those movies that keeps you clinched up in your seat, afraid to move because you hope that you are NEVER put into these situations! A powerful and profound clip! Nice work, Kely!
Looks intensely violent!!! Im all for that, the song is cool at the end, but doesn't seem to fit at the start imo.
From 2:03, it fits fantasticly!! SO GOOD! The lyrics coincide with the trailer very well, creates a great mood, actually gave me shivers!! You can hear the energy in his voice, and it fits with the trailer so well.
Wow..what a piece of shit.The audio mix is terrible, so is the song. What the fuck is the plot even about? It is saddening to see resources used on such a messy' production. Its a big violent cliche' that has no structure, but shows some signs of technical excellence (I won't lie - I definitely liked some of the action shots). Cut a new trailer and ditch the song. And quit doing silly cliche' action flicks like this for fucks sake! You won't ever make it big with crap like this.
It looks insane I cannot wait to see the finished product, I didnt mind the song so I went to the bands myspace and realised its actually a 5 minute song cut up, the song is unbelievable, I cant wait for the movie
Looks like big budget! Nice camerawork, acting (more like shooting & die-ing hehe), lighting & editing!
However, for the majority of the shots I see people fighting and firing guns. And after 3 minutes I suppose everybody has been shot dead, but I have absolutely no idea what it was all about...
I mean, it gives me the impression the full movie is a big violent cliche (but a well crafted one) with a lack of narrative depth and abdundance of violence in return
This trailer is so completely badass. "You want to start this whole thing up again?" This film is going to knock people out of their seats...I can't wait.
Thx so much to all for watching and commenting! This trailer represents a LOT of people's work! Please share and pass it on if you can! And thanks again Brad Marr and Fastrack for the great song!
Beautiful work, as usual, Kely. I love the sentimental heart you have in the middle of all the blood & bone flying around. It's great to be associated with your work, thanks for everything.
