Shootout: Second Cut [HD] (2010)

[raillenoliveira]

Good Job man!

[CDOALLSTARS]

bob saget  lol :)

[xSpringfieldx]

Alright, as a whole, Good.

Effects were well done, the majority of the muzzle flashes were good. The cinematography was great, the props were believeable. Sound was excelent.

The recoil on some of the shots were off (the sniper mostly), The hand to hand combat was sluggish, also try and use a tripod for slower shots, hand held should only really be intense action.

This is far better then most of the stuff on here, good job.

[Underoathalex12]

you need to compress so it will load quicker :/

[cocorrancho]

Will you finish Shootout?

[MrWemakevid]

how did you camera track the bullet holes. Did you do it using after effects. Because i cant for some reason i think the tracker gets messed up because of the quality of the camera

[joshthrbc]

@MrWemakevid well higher quality video can def help out but I also used Mocha to do the tracking in this. It's bundled with AE CS4 and I believe CS5 as well. Just google some "mocha tutorials" and that should get you started for sure. good luck.

[MrWemakevid]

@MrWemakevid hey thanks for the answer ive been messing around with mocha lately its a pretty cool feature of after effects. I think your filming and camera angles are amazing. I might have a video out in about a month. itll be my first official video using after effects.

[Underoathalex12]

@MrWemakevid use mocha

[BlaringSnake40]

Is it required to have acted in tv or film before starting a new tv series or movie ?

[joshthrbc]

@BlaringSnake40 No...why?

[MrPbG3]

dang that was good!!! whens the movie gonna be on here?

[BigTimeGamerz]

BLACK HAWK DOWN FTW

[Firekeyez32]

3:01...oh damn ninja'd...

[DJBlueMonkeys]

2:58 to 3:00 The Terrorist is in the Us Army?

[KordoMer]

I like how the second soldier (or whatever possition he is playing), his weapon has been changed to an M4, with it being an HK XM8.......I think. Whatever, just makes more since. Nice work!

[Joez310]

nice suits!

[TheMPTheaterOfficial]

when you were fighting in the house you shouldve sped up the clip to make it look more realistic and had the camera sit still then in AE you could make the camera shake

[sidneymcwood]

nice man! looking good! an you tell me how you did the wide screen? (like the two black stripes on top and bottom)

[TAAVI322]

Recoil should be much faster and also the fighting in the house. When the sniper loaded his rifle, it was too fast and his weapon didn't move. Just some things that would make it better, but this was really good.

[joshthrbc]

@TAAVI322 Thanks dude

[BlaringSnake40]

@joshthrbc would you be interested in helping us film a pilot episode of CSI:LA ?

[adikosh]

what camera did you use ??

[losgatosstudios]

did you use a shoulder stabilizer for this?

[sonnysidevideos]

I liked it. As a film maker though, you really ought to write the camera, mic and software you are using. Those are the most common questions.

[joshthrbc]

@AbraxasStudios Thanks for the tips!

[hellenic300]

that looks really cool the soundtrack really suits it well

the fighting is a bit slow it could've be cut a bit quicker to make it seem more fast pace and chaotic

but overall a fantastic job a hell of a lot better than a lot of shooting videos on youtube with kids in thongs running around their backyard

[joshthrbc]

@hellenic300 Thanks dude!

[hellenic300]

@joshthrbc np

[SheedsEnterprises]

but awesome film :)

[SheedsEnterprises]

thumbs up for not just me that the vid is really jumpy

[lemmonsinmyeyes]

Nice.... I would maby speed up the CQC part in the shead and add a bit of motion blur, but other then that amazing dudes

[Destroyer4292]

Awsome vid, keep up the good work guys.

[TheJarc1993]

Black Hawk Down audio made it XD I fucking love that movie. and this is great. a lot better than cut 1!

[joshthrbc]

@TheJarc1993 Thanks so much dude!

[TheJarc1993]

@joshthrbc No problem. this video actually makes me want to ditch photography and to cinematography. what camera were you using?

[SpecialKidCinima]

kick ass! im looking forward to the third cut!

[TheMyLyrics]

i fucking love your work, keep on going ;D

[liberalregion]

great production. what was the name of the exact camera used to shoot this?

[steverock13]

Kick ass!

[QualPedro]

that was awesome ! gratz

u need more views =P

[Sacmanis]

Much better than the first cut!!! I really liked it

I will stay off the fight scene bandwagon and add one small thought. I recently watched Restrepo about soldiers in Afghanistan. I was amazed at how worn their guns were. They were far from pristine condition. I also thought it was interesting how they carried their weapons slung much higher than I would have thought. Just a couple thoughts for future filming.

[joshthrbc]

@Sacmanis Awesome man! Thanks for the useful tips. I will definitely keep those in mind for future shoots. Thanks again!

[moejinator]

The actual shooting scenes were very well cut. The color grading was excellent too, i love the look of this. Good job!

[joshthrbc]

@moejinator Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[KurdPro77]

where did u get those nice looking model guns? 

[LEDZEPPfan200]

u really need to work on the fight

[experiment34X]

is the music from prince of persia? cuz it sounds rlly familiar, nd also u used after effects right? if u did how much was it?

[joshthrbc]

@experiment34X It's from the movie "Black Hawk Down", and I did use After Effects. I may or may not have "bought" it though ;)

[experiment34X]

@joshthrbc like u got it as a present for christmas or something?

[joshthrbc]

@experiment34X YI think After Effects cost something crazy though like $800 bucks. I torrented it because I can't afford it.

[experiment34X]

@joshthrbc lol wat does torrent mean

[MrNightWork]

@experiment34X I think its from Bf 2 (Battle field 2)

[quang718]

Umm why are there U.S army patches on the terrorists?Also I see a 101st airborne divison patch on the guy with the axe

[joshthrbc]

@quang718 Because we are poor and just used any military props we had. Also we really werent too worried about it. Nice catch though.

[bob7789ful]

Quick tip, when you use fire put the transfer mode on screen which will create a real lighting effect. But great otherwise, please don't get offended by my comment it's just a suggestion.

[joshthrbc]

@bob7789ful Yeah man, thanks for the tip! Always welcome constructive criticism!

[streetbattles919]

the muzzle flashes should light up the scene so this way you have effects that arent just overlaid  over the original video it looks like the elements are actually interacting with the scene

[joshthrbc]

@streetbattles919 For sure, great advice!

[MontageMaster12]

Great Video! What camera do you use?

[joshthrbc]

@MontageMaster12 This was shot on the Canon XH-A1.

[AkatsukiAlex]

Dude, let's be real here. Are you actually Bob Saget?

[joshthrbc]

@AkatsukiAlex Thats for you to decide! :)

[MrRodpanama]

Love it.



[MrRodpanama]

Love it

[thebeastman33]

Black Hawk Down was a great movie ;D

[joshthrbc]

@thebeastman33 Yes one of my favorites!

[BlackDProduction]

Oh my God that was good! Much better than the first cut! Keep it up!

[joshthrbc]

@BlackDProduction Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[chrisw443]

nice video really good. the fight scene seemed to slow, like they moved to slow. so id try to speed that up but really good job man!

[Lysnes67]

Great movie whit great effects ;) put the sounds was not the best, but great effect and great quality.

[wiggzentertainment]

this video is great!!!!... 1 question were did you get you music from

[wiggzentertainment]

the video was aswome!!!! but where did you get your sound effects from the music

[joshthrbc]

@DuBCStudios Thanks a lot! 

[Transporter228]

Good job guys, definately worth watching.

[TeenTraceur]

i doubt an ex marine from the airborne infantry would be taken out easily like that with an axe.

[joshthrbc]

@TeenTraceur Haha I also doubt that.

[QuantumLegacy2010]

@TeenTraceur

Seriously?.... Dude it is a well done Fan Film.... Everybody is such a critic these days!

[joshthrbc]

@QuantumLegacy2010 Thanks man!

[TeenTraceur]

@QuantumLegacy2010  I know (: and i love it, it wasn't supposed to be bad critisizm, i like the film alot.

[niquelapeaulisse]

good but the explosion is not realistic; put it in add or screen fusion mode it will be better, but great movie ! i like it, keep up !!

[Jamesyg0]

very good! got me gripped. I think the axe scene was too fake though. Was very obviously scripted

[joshthrbc]

@RTVx1 any tips on how they could be improved??

[angadgsingh]

@joshthrbc For the explosion, color correct it to match ur back ground,

the base smoke is to far back, and the explosion isnt blasting out of the wall, it looks like a flamethrower. from a stream to large plume....

[joshthrbc]

@angadgsingh ok i can work on the color correction a bit, but its supposed to be coming from a grenade by the wall, even though thats not what a grenade explosion would look like, this is Hollywood! (well not really but you know what i mean). thanks for the tips!

[MGfilms11]

I liked it alot! good use of space, like i knew what was going on and where, but it seemed like you acted out the axe scene in slo-mo, which isn't terrible if you did. But to me it sort of looked like you just trying to be careful with the axe and not hurt some one then trying to sell the scene, but i liked it anyways

[joshthrbc]

@MGfilms11 thanks man, and you are spot on. we were in a tight area with a couple people and we were trying to be somewhat careful! Safety first! haha yeah we need to work on the scene some more, so thanks for your comments and tips!!!

[MGfilms11]

@joshthrbc btw the what you could do with the axe scene is do a ramp slo-mo

[AussieKidProductions]

hey this was good!

Your sound effects werent bad, and that was the only problem, if you want some louder, more in your face sound effects, check out website.

Thumbs up!

[joshthrbc]

@AussieKidProductions Thanks! I checked out your website and there is some good SFX I will probably use. Thanks!

[joshthrbc]

@HazaBazaBoom thank you! this was shot on the Canon XH-A1.

[DarkMind338]

Hmm... If the speed during the Axe scene was a bit faster, it'd look a bit better. But it was great enough as is ^^

[joshthrbc]

@DarkMind338 for sure! we are hoping to work on the fight scene some more when we shoot again.

[ridlazz921]

woow, this is better then the first cut.

great soundtrack and good cinematography.

really great :)

[joshthrbc]

@ridlazz921 thank you! im really glad you enjoyed it!

[sebster555]

The cut was great dude! ^_^ BTW, can you download action essentials 2 for free, or do you have to purchase it? -_-

[joshthrbc]

@sebster555 the 720p version is only 99 bucks! i highly recommend it,. is actually "essential" for anyone wanting to do action movies! sorry about that pun....

[sebster555]

@joshthrbc Thanks man! ^_^ Don't worry about that pun though, it was awzum!!!... xD

[joshthrbc]

@sebster555 haha whew, i know it was pretty bad... :)

[XxDJxBADOYxX]

Really nice just the hand to hand combat was weak!

[joshthrbc]

@XxDJxBADOYxX thanks, hoping to improve on that soon!

[SuperWavyMan]

dude thats awsome

[TehMoovehNerd]

great effects, it just needs some more loud, punchy sound effects, make it a bit more adrenaline-y, ya know? xD

[joshthrbc]

@TehMoovehNerd I know what you mean! haha

[MarcAllins]

This is okay and a good attempt. But its just missing something.

[darnellb4]

fake sux bye

[joshthrbc]

@darnellb4 kthxbye! 

[sonofgalowfire]

@darnellb4 it dont suck, u suck. bye =]

[JGproductions96]

so, what is the overall plot? the plot doesnt matter if ur just showing of fx though

[joshthrbc]

@JGproductions96 not much of a plot at this point, mainly just for the VFX but we hope to work on that soon.

[HoboCartProductions]

whats the name of the vest your using and what website can i get it from

awesome vid btw

[CptRexFilms987654321]

cool but a little slow on the hand to hand combat scenes and the recoil is very unrealistic.

[joshthrbc]

@famouzboyz234 well yes and no, for this particular film, since all in all its mainly just an excuse to use Action Essentials 2, I didnt do much Pre-production on it, where you storyboard out shots, write the script, ect. I mainly just thought of the main shots i wanted in my head and my have storyboarded, but then when we went out to shoot i just used those as a rough idea. Thats not how you want to do a real short film though if it has a story, dialog, and such.

[joshthrbc]

@famouzboyz234 well, i am kind of a jack of all trades for this one :) i planned out the shots, i was the cinematographer, and then i have also edited and done all the VFX work. right now, its just me and 3 other friends working on this, they are all actors and i do all the filming and post work. its good practice and good fun though! Normally the director would be mainly responsible for directing the actors and getting the performances he wants, but since this is so low budge, i do a lot more.

[joshthrbc]

@famouzboyz234 you would be correct! 

[joshthrbc]

@famouzboyz234 for this we were using the Canon XH-A1, but when we resume filming, we will be using the Canon 550D (t2i).

[joshthrbc]

@famouzboyz234 haha not much story at this point but we have a general idea of what we want to happen. i guess we will see...

[kiheeabaha]

Dude, that was awesome, better than the first cut! loved the blood on the goggles. :D

[joshthrbc]

@kiheeabaha thanks, im glad there are some improvements, although there are many more to be made when we work on it some more! thanks for watching!

[sloterfilmgroep]

I like the video, but the action from 2:31 to2:48 is a little bit too slow.. If you can keep a high action pace in there, that would be great.. Looking forward to the movie!

[joshthrbc]

@sloterfilmgroep thank you! yeah we have been meaning to shoot some more angles and whatnot to speed up the action. The room that is shot in is so small it was hard to get good angles for the shots, but we have a new camera (Canon t2i) which should help out with a wider lens. Thanks for watching!

[sloterfilmgroep]

@joshthrbc

Sounds great!!

Nice camera By the way

[coldfyre18]

My favorite part was 0:01 to 3:32

[joshthrbc]

@coldfyre18 haha what about 0:00, thats my favorite part! haha thanks man!

[joshthrbc]

@famouzboyz234 thanks! well we started it late into last summer, but we really only filmed for a few weekends for a couple of months into late 2009, and we havent really worked on it much since :( mainly because its hard to get all my friends together for very long to film.

[JGproductions96]

this was awesome, i loved it, just with some of the fight scene punches you should speed them up so the look more real

[joshthrbc]

@JGproductions96 thanks man, yeah the fight scene could use some work, so i will def take that into consideration. thanks again!

[BloodHeroProductions]

MW2 music?

[PoisonMuffinz]

The blood on his goggles was perfect!

[joshthrbc]

@PoisonMuffinz thanks! the first time we filmed that scene the actor had cut his thumb, so he smeared real blood all over the googles and it looked awesome, but i did another video shoot that day and accidentally recorded over the footage, so we reshot with fake blood, but it still came out nicely. thanks for watching!

[FxThanos]

Awesome work!!

[ppe19]

like that :)



[dierenfreak10]

Please set your esplosion's mode to screen please else it will look very fake

[joshthrbc]
