I liked this film. I like to read noir and found there is also a video "Noir Naiton" here on Youtube that looks cool, looks like they publish Graphic novels as well, and will reach the e-pub audience on Kindles, Nook, iPads etc. Their Facebook page looks cool, too.

Wow, I love the look and feeling of your film. Cheers!

Kick ass film... It's a pity it's so short, but I know that this is a ton of work. Good voice-over, too.

[Hamaffleck]

@realphake Thank you, i'm glad you like it.

Ideally, I would have liked it to run for longer but we just didn't have the time. With it being a college project, we had deadlines to meet so it wasn't possible.

I'm glad you like it though, its why we do it :)

Keep your eyes peeled for our next video which is being shot soon!!

[realphake]

@Hamaffleck Ah, college deadlines. My archnemesis. They can take the fun out of ANYthing.

You keep your eyes peeled for our next video, which has already been shot, too!

[Hamaffleck]

@realphake

Yeah, deadlines are the devil! I will keep my eyes peeled for your next vid, i'll be sure to check it out!

[realphake]

@Hamaffleck Thanks, and I'll be sure to watch your next video!

There's more to film noir than being depressing

[Hamaffleck]

@DrFeelRotten It doesn't say any where on the video or description that it should be.

But i'm sure if you do some research on the genre, it is true to most of the codes and conventions.

Thank you for the comment though, they are always appreciated, positive or negative.

[beckysalomons]

this is a really fantastic video, very sin city, keep producing!

[55Rossi]

how did you do that effect at 2.50? looks really nice

[55Rossi]

sorry.. i mean 0.25

[Hamaffleck]

The sequence with the girl smoking was done by printing the sequence out into individual frames (at 24fps), which works out at around 120 individual frames. Once printed out, they were screwed up, ripped up and sellotaped back together and dripped paint on. Once all the frames were done, they were re-scanned back into Avid, and put back into sequence.

Hope this helps :D

[55Rossi]

yea man, thanks.

[Sambiglione]

Fantastic!

But with one minor fault - You forgot to credit the songwriter (even if it's just a simple tune).

What's the song anyway?

[Lumpi280785]

WOW!!!Absolutely Perfect Realisation of a FILM NOIR!

[json1977]

How films like this are not viewed more than 1000 times a day, I don't know. But animation of this caliber and intelligence is highly underrated. I really enjoyed this short piece :-) Not only being a rotoscope fan of animation but also a film noir-addict. Five stars for sure.

[kyzzak]

Wonderfully excellent and true to the genre!

[evanhenry]

that was the sweetest animation ever. i gots to make one
