Rift - epiem - 100 Hour Film Race 2011

[bluetigerecon33]

That was so awesome

[bleepbleep1234]

Kinda got a max payne feel, not in a bad way, really nice production!

I am hating after effects though, I love indesign, photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, and the rest, just cant seem to get my head around its inner workings, what sources did you learn from?

[wrenthereaper]

@bleepbleep1234 Dude go to Video Copilot dot net slash tutorials to get some good after effects training!

[bleepbleep1234]

@wrenthereaper Will check it out man, thanks for the heads up!

One other problem, I did make a noob vid from an online tutorial, but it estimated 3 days of rendering lol

[bleepbleep1234]

@wrenthereaper Also really love the music man, how do you get a project like this together with so many peeps?

[wrenthereaper]

@bleepbleep1234 on youtube search "Rift outtakes" and the first result should be a behind the scenes video for this. It does a pretty good job of explaining that I think. Plus I have a breakdown/tutorial for the effects in the video as well.

[TheOddGamer1]

Nerf Gun FTW!!!!

[Kie77]

You made that in 100 hours? Wow! The Sin City feel was fantastic. Your use of colour with black and white worked great. The matchmoved hologram was a thing of beauty, what did you make that in? Crucially the narrating hit the tone perfectly. Nice work everyone!

[epiem]

@Kie77: thank you!!

[SchwingStudios]

The bedroom looked just like my old dorm room.

[Josephized]

lol, nerf maverick

[ESELkoek]

Does he have a major cold? haha

[theKrishnaCpatel]

that was awesome man :)

[EnigmaVisuals]

Nice vid as always.. Like the sin city look.

Wren you kinda reminds me of "Michael Cera" from superbad & year one (but less geeky lol)

[MrMick73]

6000 views too many

[GoldC11]

Make the moive!!!! This is awesome!!! : D

[xshelwynx]

Once all these vids are done I hope they can be put together into one bigger movie like vid.

[FarBeyondGamingPC]

dude wren i love ur vids! i wish u'd make one everyday!

[xxiamg0dlyxx]

at what age did you get started with visual effects?

[wrenthereaper]

@xxiamg0dlyxx I was 18 when I did my first clone. I was 20 when I started using After Effects. I'm 22 now.

[xxiamg0dlyxx]

@wrenthereaper cool, I started vfx at the age of 14 but really basic back then. Now I'm 18^^ tell me what you think, my vfx channel is 'IgnaceAleya'

[ShinyHunterExtreme]

MAverick nerf gun!!

[shadowbrawler9000]

Why does this only have 6000 views. 

[vorkosigan28]

Wren shows up, first line: "this kid was annoying as hell." rofl.. way to be humble. Awesome video though. The hologram guy could be a little more convincing. The main character obviously gave no fuck that day (or probably any day for that matter). I like his character though. As always, awesome special effects!

[epiem]

@vorkosigan28: ROFL @ any day for that matter :D

[talonfx]

@epiem lol you're on top of these comments.

[YapSnapProductions]

Reminded me of one of the Versions of "Death of a Salesman", especially the bit in the car. Great video :D

[EdEditz]

I love how you used the ink flow as smoke at 3:11 Very creative and very effective. I'm definitely gonna steal that idea ^^

[EdEditz]

Well, judging from the comments I'm not alone in loving this short. I'd love to see the story develop! Awesome sfx.

[elizamazawesome]

Steampunk, anyone? Or a steam/cyber mix, maybe. It was awesome. I loved how there was only color: blue.

[wrenthereaper]

@elizamazawesome Yeah! That was exactly what we were going for with some elements of Sin City. And then the juxtaposition with the orange color at the end.

[elizamazawesome]

@wrenthereaper Definitely a nice touch. The effects were AWESOME. Good job on those.

[IshDat1KiD]

@elizamazawesome

Naa. This isn't steampunk. Steampunk is much different from this. It's more like a Futuristic Noir film

[xshelwynx]

Congrats! You didn't try and get us to subscribe at the end.

I think it's a step up in the world. Being at the point where you don't have to beg for others to watch your stuff. Good vid.

[wrenthereaper]

@xshelwynx Yay!! Now you can take your patronizing elsewhere!! Or stop all together, lol now that would be a step up in the world.

[kilotonblast]

@wrenthereaper Ouch.

[baverhojt]

Haha HIGH TACH TYPEWHRITER

[Spinazania]

bit like sin city

[EdEditz]

@Spinazania Yes, I thought the same. Love it :)

[OxSADEKxO]

really like this short

[MyNameIsJonno]

Reminds me of sin city

[DrugMan24]

fuckin dead space tecnhology shit

[FFwdFilms]

100 Hours. Sure ya did. Besides, I'll give you the special fx's, there great. But the story is ripped, and I highly doubt you did this in 100 hours anyway.

[epiem]

@FFwdFilms: hahaha Nice grammar. We have the project files to prove it. Sorry it hurts so bad to be dunked on.

[yeahwritejosie]

@FFwdFilms I believe (hope) you meant "they're"... We worked hard on this film (and within the rules). If you're going to troll on it, you should at least do us the honor of correct word usage.

[DrBraids]

Love the mix of scifi and noir film. Is this going to be a series?

[epiem]

@DrBraids: Thanks! Perhaps...We are working out some kinks. Most likely it will be put on kickstarter. A lot of the "set" was difficult to obtain. I can only imagine how hard and expensive it would be to do a series or film.

[LeFlow14]

dude really a NERF?

[galacticbadboy]

@LeFlow14

took me 5 hours to paint man plus if we use one of my real guns we probably would have been shot

[LeFlow14]

@galacticbadboy don't woory but still awsome video :D

[galacticbadboy]

@LeFlow14 all good lol

[Smoogle]

Wren you gotta do some type of short tutorial how you did that sky blasting effect when the person retreats near the end, that was sick!

[wrenthereaper]

@Smoogle Yeah I might, it was actually a pretty simple effect! the thing about tutorials is that they take just as much time as a feature video. But I kind of want to, so I think I may.

[Smoogle]

@wrenthereaper sweet i think you should I know a few people who would like to see it as well, the  way the effect was used was so superb and the sound was just the cherry on top to make it epic.

[Smoogle]

Someone has been playing L.A. Noire ;)

[artman202]

awesome dude! :)

[vorhaut23]

what camera tracker did u use ?

pls answer i search a good and maybe cheap one a veeeery long time

[wrenthereaper]

@vorhaut23 lol it's literally called Camera Tracker.

[matwhited687]

Did anyone else think of Sin City, or was that just me?

[rubendaviso]

Is this gonna be continued??? Cause I need MOOOORE!!!!!!

[fairuzhussain]

i swear ill be your channel follower until forever anyways mind on making tuts over this video especially the zoom effects which change the shot . ahh i dont know how to explain but pls sir make an tutorial. :)

[epiem]

@fairuzhussain: We will release a "Behind the Scenes" soon. As far as the tuts, wren will have to take care of that! :D

[fairuzhussain]

@epiem yeah man he better took care of the tuts . n btw in times you guys are the next youtube hits .judging by your awesome video progress i shall follow you forever so remember my name .. ahhah :)

[epiem]

@fairuzhussain: Thank you so much :D

[Odayan17]

This is so cool... one of the best short FX film... Man can you do a tutorial of the hologram and the fireball... Dude you could make a Direct to DVD movie a Hollywood style....

[BifordusMaximus]

Dude... This was awesome. This was better than all the crap that came out on tv this year. It had that Heroes (1st season) feel to it. Thats a good thing.

[ACProductions3]

This would be a great video series!This sounds like it could tie in with you Elemental Kombat video ;)

[Damekage]

i really want to see more

[RandomJoe266]

damn this is amazing, please continue on with the story I cant wait to see how it ends up.

[Niblet007]

This is bloody brilliant! Keep it up

[battlecow1]

Really good shit.

The acting was a little wooden IMO, but the script was incredibly well-written, the dialogue was brilliant (needed to be, of course, for a PI story) and the effects kicked nine kinds of ass (naturally).

[yeahwritejosie]

I'm seriously stoked on all the positive feedback about this so far. Awesome!

[MrJackGarcia]

Great!

[jadecobain]

Great short film it was very entertaining :)

[thesiriusadam]

for four days this is incredible

[TristanRHeitkemper]

Thismade me think of L.A. Noire

[cdsharrock]

haha sin city inspired?

[jamsvids1]

That is professional I I em suppose

[MrRehcamrihcs10]

Nice nerf gun

[daniel304kingkong]

Gun looks like a Borderlands revolver.

[DJdude2011]

Lol mavrick

[NutHoofd]

LoL Machinima intro sound at 3:27 ;P

[NextGenEpicness]

nice use of the nerf pistol

[ModestJoe]

this reminds me of L.A. noire

[AntoniniBabyFace]

Awesome vid man! I liked every second of it! When does the second part come out? (I know it is from a 100 hours contest, but this must have a second part.) :)

[epiem]

@AntoniniBabyFace: We are planning on putting this on Kickstarter and seeing if we can get funded for a film or short series :D

[knarf336]

Is that a nerf gun ? :)

[megapinkmenace]

when it got to 3:36 all i could think was "what thats the end NO I NEED MORE"

[Aristophile]

Dude, I love this. Super props. If I lived closer I would beg to be involved in your videos.

[CorreScript]

hel yea...nerf maverick ForTheEffinWin

[Aristophile]

Yay cyberpunk!

[Dexyh1234]

dam awsom!

[ESELkoek]

Does he have a stuffy nose? haha

[JackGtarHappyHOurSho]

Sequel!!! 

[fireball6625]

Nerf gun for the win!!!

[whothehellisthat]

Ooh... nice one. A few gripes, but nothing too serious.

[tony8999]

wow alot of people worked on this youtube video

[hilllbilllyjoe]

nerf guns ftw

[MrBoegela]

100 hour? its only 5:11 minutes ;_;

[epiem]

@MrBoegela: You have to write, film and edit the film in 100 hours. It's quite the task for the complexity we brought to the table. Especially getting the cars that we did...Thanks to Rat City Rodz for helping us out! Without them, it would not have been possible!

Hopefully we will get enough likes to keep the series rolling...Then we just gotta get wren to jump on board :D

[MrBoegela]

@epiem I know I know, what you did was awsome, It was just a joke showing you that I enjoyed it so much, I could watch it for 100 hours ^^

[asykarthewise]

Awesome ! ...why the lightning was not waving ?... anyway, I Like the Effect and the video !

wish i can give 2 thumbs up ... >_< !

[semaj116]

narration is awful, sorry if that's blunt or something.

[epiem]

@semaj116: Can't make everyone happy. Oh well~

[yeahwritejosie]

Obviously I need to start writing up outlines for potential future episodes. hehe So glad so many people like it and want to see more!

[aimonb8]

As crazy awesome as this was... There is no way I am believing anyone can get out of bed that fast 0:50

[epiem]

@aimonb8: got called out on a murder case :P

[schwiggidy]

@aimonb8 do you weigh like 300 pounds or something?

[aimonb8]

@schwiggidy Nah, I'm a teenager. It has to be the hardest part of my day. :L

[schwiggidy]

@aimonb8 nig nog, in the morning, slap yourself in the face and you will wake up fast as fuck.

or pour water on your face. its bawss.

[CrazyWhiteZebra]

awesoome

[Stellerman7]

Whoa; this would make for a hell of a feature length film.

[epiem]

@Stellerman7: it will most likely be put on kickstarter if we get enough positive feedback :D

[Stellerman7]

@epiem Is that so? Well you sure as hell have mine :D

[epiem]

@Stellerman7: Thanks for the support!

[epiem]

Thank you all for liking our video :D

We couldn't have picked anyone better than Wren to have collaborated with!

He is by far the most gifted sfx guys we know!

Big shoutout to wren for being awesome!

[lazyjonty]
