I'm rewatching this from the beginning in order to psych myself up for more of the sequel....and I gotta say, it's working. Still a fantastic production, I applaud all of you who worked on it. And the "ca-ta-clys-mo!" in the music always makes me smile.
Actually the music works very well with the overall corny storytelling. After all, that was the point. The creators did not try to make a serious sci-fi show, but a homage to the old serials of the 40s and 50s and that required an epic but for contemporary standards 'lame' music. They hit the cheese button perfectly and that is what makes this show work!
Amazing editing on the gun scene.. whats with the music? Lol. The camera man is also good as well. I think I'll watch the next episode and see how this series is.
Good except for the guy that wears red shirt, omit that cheesy guy he's not funny, the more serious action and tone is cooler, replace him with a really hot or attractive female that's more serious and ready to take on action.
Well the red shirt guy's just way too feminine, and seeing a man and woman together's more interesting, but the name time boys is a boys thing anyways I suppose, if you like just seeing guys together guess it would be gay.
Love it. A more choregraphed battle-scene would be nice, but the effects, editing and directing were terrific. I would like more of a story about what they're fighting for, but I suppose that will be revealed in coming episodes...well, episodes I have yet to watch at least.
Lots of good elements going on here, especially for a web series. I think the sax music during the battle was a little out of place though, and that more individual characters and plots could be introduced. More dialogue too, please!
yea, ok. I'll hang with you for a while and see what you can do. For me, using old spanish turn of the 20th century music for the heroic factor left me in the distant past rather than 500 years in the future. Key comments I remember the most. "What's the plan," "I'm a chef" and "Damn apes" quote from Planet of The Apes.
Makesagr8point: re: "using old spanish turn of the 20th century music for the heroic factor left me in the distant past rather than 500 years in the future"
-- dunno. Using whatever LOOKS & SOUNDS futuristic just now is the surest way to date one's material REAL quick: nothing gets old faster than out-of-date futurism! The past has proven itself. And it comes back.
I guess I was expecting a Star Wars epic sounding theme. To me, the Star Wars theme sounds as fresh today as the day it was presented AND it worked well for a thousand years in the future.
That's funny! You're right, it was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. I think the time frame in that movie was based on the last episode? Are we arguing because I don't really care? lol!
I like the "Bucky" character, but, like vonny100765, this isn't really a genre I'm into. Good production values...but...what's with the guys in the ape suits?
It was visually pleasing (with the guns and lazers and those gorilla suits are pretty fierce -expensive?) but the writing left a lot to be desired. Don't blow your load too early-
ex: letting the audience know what the men were fighting for. You didn't get to a good enough set up before main guy said the punch line so it was sort of lost..(maybe if it was after the big pep talk then 'annoying chef' could've been "so...what are we fighting for?" and then so on.
For some reason, the intro reminded me of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. Those who watched it know what i mean. ;)
500 years in the future a radio will be stolen by monkey-like creatures? Seems more comedic than serious...and the fact you are trying to be serious makes it funnier.
Dude, I want to curse all over the place on how great that was! Bucky, the wanna be cheeky non side kick. The bad ass cappy! Great video man, all with smoke and mirrors eh? I like how it's starting to lick up steam around here! CONGRATS!
Exactly. haha. I don't want to go there. Can't turn on a computer for least than 3 bucks. So, you produced this out of pocket? what was the budget like? those were 3D jets in the beginning? What did you use?
I've got a version of Maya that I created the jets and their exhaust in.
We used after effects to composite the matte painting of the red clouds and fire/explosions/lasers because we didn't have the money for pyro insurance! hehe.
the budget: shoestring. literally. I sold one of 'em on e-bay and it managed to pay for everything. :D
Anthony and Kevin basically rock my socks off (and of course Nathan and David and Josh) Really nice way to start the show off with a bang guys! Two thumbs way up.

I don't think that it's trying to be entirely serious. They do have "comedy" under the tags.
So I'd say your intuition that it's comedic is correct. Always listen to your intuition.
