Point Blank - Short Action Film

[ZFilmzor]

Was this at a school? Nice they let you film this there. A little work on the muzzle flares but you had some interesting concepts going on. Check out some of my videos and let me know your thoughts.

[TheMVP2020]

what the ??? music i am from kazakhstan this music is like arabian, you idiot our country is not terrorism

[LastChapterStudios]

Great cinematography, too bad it's not HD. Did you film this in a school?

[96Powerboy1]

It is ok. I like the way you composite the footage but as far as VFX it wasn't so great. Check out Freddiew, Corridor digital, and Pwnisher for good tutorials on muzzle flares and such

[PunchLineStudios69]

I just uploaded two Trailers to my upcoming Action Film! I promise you won't be disapointed! We are going to be making large videos once a month! (i hope!)

[motivatedmayhem]

Looks great...

[aFairZebra]

Few Quick Tips:

Tint your blood red!

Improve on your smoke effects.

Motion track things into the footage

and improve your camera work.

Other wise good job!

[mrJustinYi]

@aFairZebra i see you very good at telling whats wrong can you comment or send me messgage telling me what i did wrong on my first VFX Vid?

[aFairZebra]

@mrJustinYi Didn't mean to offend. I liked the motion tracking of the bullet in mid air that was pretty cool!

[lkarmal]

very cod 4 esque lol

[biggestwwefanlogan]

sorry but this coulda been better ALOT BETTER

[CptRexFilms987654321]

music works better for an Arabian setting

[GiancarloCC7]

whats the camera used?

[FoobarFilms]

Whoah, I really liked the narration. Haha, and that it's in an auditorium, but honestly the effects were really nice, and it synced up really well with the music. Was this for a class? Either way, I make short action films too, check them out!

[TigoTubeNL]

Is this the music from the beginning of Black Hawk Down? :D

[tos221]

Where di you get your gun props?

[PokeWorks]

This is so AWESOME:

/watch?v=kmRVBWSCJng

Check it out!



[BADNIGGAH]

What kind of camera did you use?

[thegame52291]

black hawk down soundtrack!! nice

[KazZzaX100]

is not a word of Kazakh! song is also not a Kazakh! zds and do not even have the Kazakhs!

[Laurenzzz1]

I like this movie really much. good job.

just one thing. the movie ratio doesnt fit the screen...

check my short film: The Ambush

CLICK ON MY NAME TO WATCH

[stig4532ftw]

this is actually very good

[guitarplayer88888]

that much light*

[guitarplayer88888]

decrease the opacity with the smoke and speed up the footage, its distracting with so much on screen, and try some blood hits, not the weird smoke stuff you have now, also decrease the brightning on the areas around the shots, gunshots do not make that much later and it makes it look unrealistic, other than that keep up the good work, keep getting better

[AfterEffectsFilms]

good effects but muzzle flashes need to be bigger

[derrickdd]

actually a very good short film... if you had an experienced cast, some more time to develop dialogue and story, and a budget to cover for better props and various shooting locations... this could be a great film.

good directorial achievement, i appreaciated it.

[stuntidiotz]

3:50 to skip to action

Btw good film keep it up.

[davidopatsky]

small muzzle flash but good

[eman555666]

the gun smokes looks unreal.

[reL3ntless4LiFe]

It looked good I just think your uniforms needed to be a little more worn in and ruged. Not so clean and spotless.

[dalesfilms]

it was all good apart from the effects :/

[leleHDstudios]

cool vid check out mine and sub to me plz

[supercole111]

NIce, check out my action movies

[Moviesindahood]

The amount of crossfades seems a bit excessive. And oh my sweet lord, you didn't de-interlace half your footage.

[nifxd]

you filmed all this in a day? jesus... how long did you work on the story boards? hang you shot this in 2hours!!! noway!!

[nifxd]

you filmed all this in a day? jesus... how long did you work on the story boards?

[XTERMESILVER1]

bad timing 4:36

[daltongaskill]

good up until the shooting scene....

[Tangodownfilms]

Nice black hawk down music

[muhammedahmed1000]

white terrorist finally lol

[PjAw27]

trouble in kazakhstan yet they are using music from black hawk down?

[spuddapotato2494]

@PjAw27 haha! :)

[confidential007]

Some shots could be more stable but considering the quality of work done in 2 hours, it's rather good! The lighting is pretty damn good. But the horizontal scan lines are really really heavy, could have been better rendered to be honest. Though REALLY NICE SET! :D

Good job with that.

Good work in general!

[FilmProgression]

the only thing i could think of for criticism is that you should definitely motion track the smoke from the bullet hits to the background so when you move the camera the smoke doesn't go with it but i think someone else already pointed that out....otherwise great movie :)

[TheNerfkings]

i like it but one thing you didnt get wright the terroriest dont have ak47s

[confidential007]

@TheNerfkings AK 47 are cheap and reliable enough but if you have more money, you could buy something better and I assume that's what these terrorists have done. In the Modern World , the AK is being phased out of service after it's Gallant 70 years. People still buy them but newer models of weapons can be purchased and makes more sense to have those.

Though I understand what you mean .Lol. AK 47 is classic.

[crumplepoint]

@confidential007 Agreed :)

I heard that if youre in a tight spot and need to do so, the parts from an AK built 50 yearrs ago and one built yesterday are totally compatible :o

[ejikke]

Intense really like it.

[orika001]

can somebody tell me how can I edit canon .MOV? or perhaps what's the best converter for canon's video? I'm going to import it to premiere pro..

[SuperWavyMan]

wat smoke did u use for the gunshots

[TSHADproductions]

@SuperWavyMan The smoke came from FXhome's AlamDV Effects and I believe it is just referred to as "smokeeffect"

[KhaotycFilms]

Maybe try to motion track the smoke next time and put a lil bit down the opacity also change the blending mode to add it will looks awesome :D Nice vid

[Tzimnewman3]

I was expecting Borat riding along with a goat.

[TheGhillieDude]

Uhh, little tip. The whole point of a silencer/supressor is to neutralize the flash and the sound. Apart from that, AWESOME!!

[DangerousMusicProd]

some of the actin, and military tactics can be imporved otherwise good job

[TSHADproductions]

Hey guys. Visual Editing was done in FXhome's effectslab Pro.

[nahuel1111]

what did you use to edit?

[TravkoreProductions]

Ill tell yeah what I think. The action scenes were good but they were a little off and little more planning would have gone a long way. The acting was poor. I didn't mind the effects. I think if you guys had a budget it would of been better. Overall keep it up though

[sonofgalowfire]

not bad, the effects were good but you didnt use any masks or tracks which realy botherd me. your actors didnt seem very enthusiastic either. i didnt get the excitement in that action scene as it all felt a bit slow. not bad tho keep up the good work.

[X15Studios]

Straight Forward Constructive Criticism:

Story line = 100/100

Scenes = 70/100

Effects = 40/100

Quality = 45/100

Composition = 45/100

Overall = 300/500

Total Grade = 60%= "F" US Standards. Needs more improvement. 70% is a passing level.

[CocoIsEvil]

What editing software did you use? Looks very professional. And where did you get the sound effects and the muzzle flashes. I'm looking for good quality effects like those but can't find any

[TheLinuxBust]

@CocoIsEvil IDK where he got 'em but you can get some from Action Essentials 2. torrent perhaps?

[RedOnyxProductions]

Quite well done, keep up the great work!

[jt663]

you should have used a smoke machine in the auditorium scene

[ahbeast1]

If this was your first [or one of your first then you did a decent job] but you missed a few Key things.

All of the weapons you have must have some type of recoil,

Clothing was a bit off, if your going to wear camo make sure you also have fitting shoes, such as combat boots.

When clearing the room, you should have used something such as a flashbang to distort the enemy.

As a Team, you should have given eachother a certain distance of room. Do research before filming.

[jt663]

@ahbeast1 Watch an action sequence and see if the guns recoil

[ahbeast1]

@jt663 Yes, they most def. do :]

[DarkNaughtProduction]

LOL Counterterrorists wearing White sneakers

[BeingBroham]

Black Hawk Down soundtrack, my #1 favourite war movie

[keithehlert]

7 the m-16's have the dust covers closed showing they have not charged their weapons.

8 there was a moment when NOT ONE of the team members had that door covered and all of them were unreadied for action.a burst could have wia or kia them all in a split second.

9 there is no indication of spent brass being ejected,should have made the sounds of brass tinkling and clanking.

10 mp5's have a much higher cyclic rof than shown

11 the m-16a2 used has a 3 rnd burst limiter,no full auto

[keithehlert]

from a retired marine....

1 the front entrance is unguarded?!

2 the entry team is to bunched and blocking each others arc of fire

which is a serious error in cqb.

3 the face camo is in a word.. goofy

4 the room entry is way incorrect,the stick should be a well coordinated ''dynamic'' entry,you don't ''creep'' into a room.

5 they did'nt cut the pie when cornering.

6 when they encountered the girl,how did they know it was a hostage?

prior intell? still poor operational tactics.

[skMons]

@keithehlert cool story bro

[TheCluelessXbox]

@keithehlert Cool story bro.

[LethargicBannanazZ]

@keithehlert Thank you for insight and god bless you for your brave service to this country sir, but there just kids trying to make a movie.... it was pretty good

[DarkNaughtProduction]

@keithehlert well said dude, criticism is great, then he can improve!

[Mike28115]

excellent, excellent short film, people misunderstand by calling this a "video". This is art and i can tell you put good time into producing it.

[mikedurland]

cool v id!

[Wubnig]

Fantastic. What program did you use for the effects? After Effects?

[kingzorsey]

really powerful i liked it

muzzle flash should have been a little bigger and there was no enviormental effects but still really really good

[the1music1of1sk8]

one thing is that when your in a over the shoulder view, you can see the muzzle flash go over the gun

[DanTheMan74189632]

awsome where did you get the sounds for the guns going off because im planing on making a movie and already spent 100 on specal effects but cant find gun sounds

[Camthemovieman1]

@DanTheMan74189632 just insert gun sounds into what ever movie maker you are using

[RedOnyxProductions]

Nicely shot! The lighting effects round the muzzle flashes were very nice.

[SuperWavyMan]

you should have put in blood when they got shot not smoke

[CKnoxW]

All great except for the smoke effects. You should key frame the gun smoke to stay in a position relative to where it came from. Right now it's just moving with the camera

[firestormcomputers]

I don't think the music went well with the situation, Black Hawk Down uses it very well since it is African music.

[jetfede]

awesome special effects and well done with music and camera......

[riosreel]

This piece looked great but needed more of a story line

[Sherhan9]

The terrorist leader reminds me of bitar from Syphon Filter:Logan's Shadow

[Nitionx]

Was alright. Need to add bullet holes when you add in the muzzle flares, looks very fake other wise

[MegaYouNoober]

was this originally shot in HD?

[TSHADproductions]

@MegaYouNoober No it was not. Just a nice SD camera.

[MasterofTheFreeWorld]

That was really good, It had great emotionl appeal, style, camera work, editing and atmosphere. I really liked it the only flaw I really saw was that some of the movments of the assault team were unrealistic and looked like they were trying to hard. But, It was overall great and even reminded me of SOCOM. I am also a filmaker and will hopefully get some more really good stuff like this on my channel soon! Keep up the good work!

[MasterofTheFreeWorld]

Tht was Really good! Really well done, emotional, captivating, well edited and the atmosphere created was extrodinarty! The music added the perfect touch. The only problem was the ways some of the assault members moved, were unrealistic and looked like they were trying to hard, but overall great job! Reminded me of SOCOM. I also am a filmaker and wish I had enough time to shoot something longer like this.

[ammarhollywood]

The movie is not bad, but I think you guys could have done better.

Next time when there is a shooting, make sure there is enough distance between the shooters to make it look real. Good Luck!

[Gaven51196]

The best war film I've ever seen

[MistroJoe]

great vid but surely they would have guys by the door

[twelvestreets]

nice color correction

[mrhyde1888]

my question is: do muslim people actually listen to wailing for music?

[360line]

@mrhyde1888 do non muslum people really listen to the cranberries.

[Showdown91]

Very nice! I stumbled into this video on accident and I'm quite glad that I did! The cinematography is pretty intriguing, especially for a student film. Well done, cochise!

I have a few short films on my channel, two of which are pretty decent, but not nearly as well-shot.

[tomatobanana87]

@Showdown91 hahah wow you kiss-ass fag.

[Showdown91]

@tomatobanana87 Piss off, dipshit. I was only complimenting, as I thought it was well done. I'd like to see you do better.

[ImpulseProductionsPA]

If you like this, you'll like our action short film.

"From Netflix, with love"

[TheSlice919]

Which special effects program did you use for the gun effects?

[TSHADproductions]

@TheSlice919 That would be effectslab pro

[TSHADproductions]

Alright guys. Its "Hunger" by Hans Zimmer from the Black Hawk Down Album. :)

[cbcnate]

I take that back.

It is Tears of the Sun.

[cbcnate]

Sounds like Black Hawk Down music.

Or Tears of the Sun.

[adrianarcy]

MW2 milita song

[conmanguyler]

sounds like battlestar galactica music :D

[Twitters96]

amazing make more

[SteezeWizard99]

the song is from blood diamond

[RedFinger19]

damn good!

[tabedv19]

good job !

[yikesitsben]

some very cool shots in there. well done

[TSHADproductions]

@yikesitsben Thanks!

[reanthegreat]

nicley done i just have two critiques on the gun fire and smoke one you should make sure the smoke follows the scene as i saw it it didnt at some points ant the light/flashes need to be less of a circle and a bit more random apart from that amazing :)

[TSHADproductions]

@reanthegreat Thanks a lot friend! really glad you enjoyed it. We obviously had some errors as you can see, but we try to learn from our mistakes :) .

[reanthegreat]

no problem :)

[JAMxSkalla16]

this is very well done.

there were some good shots and there were some bad shots. im assuming you are still youung, but i see a very promising film career ahead of you if you stick with it,

[TSHADproductions]

Well thank you! This was our first real film and as such we made quite a few mistakes as you could guess.

[OneWithTheAnimals]

excellent movie! 5/5 what editing program did you use?

[TSHADproductions]

Hello. We used FXhome effectslab pro and adobe premier 6.5

[OneWithTheAnimals]

thnx! but what is premier used for?

[GhostyToasty27]

Great filming. The only things I can complain about are little details like the hostage unguarded early on in the room and the sweat pants on the guy in the wife beater but despite these things it is overall well filmed and good effects.

[TSHADproductions]

Thank you very much! As i said, it was kinda thrown together!

[herojunkie18]

Great film man...the only thing is there were lots of bullets goin but nothing was destroyed.

[TSHADproductions]

Haha... I've heard that comment before. Yes, I was new to editing at this point and was a little worried about to much :)

[jamez2005]

just browsing for ideas of a short film, came across yours and just like to say that you've done a good job here. The Special effects aspects, i dont think matter to much, as you have done the best that you could in the time you were given. Hats off to you

[TSHADproductions]

Thank you very much! It was hard considering the time we had!

[typeloop]

can i make a suggestion? use a tripod. or if your attached to the shaky cam, learn to edit effects better. Because the smoke moves with the camera at times. Doesn't look right. Other than that. AWESOME!

[waterboardsporter]

Awesome! also cool you were able to film in a school (or what place is it)

Looks really professional, blood could be improved but overal awesome cool movie!

[TSHADproductions]

Thank you! I agree with the blood issue, and I think we have improved that over the past latest films. Thanks for the complements!

[OlioPL]

thats so cool ! thats one of the best videos, i ever seen here. its so awesome ! great acting and scenes !!! make more, you guys are amazing !

[TSHADproductions]

Hey thanks a lot! We try to improve as much as we can in each of our films so keep watching!

[bejack83]

excellent movie. really loved the gunfight in the theatre! just 2 hrs to shoot? it took me three days for my 1minute and a half short webcam movie... :)

[TSHADproductions]

Yeah, only 2 hours. That's all the time we were given :)

[JcA3801]

I REALLY need to know, where did you get the guns?

[TSHADproductions]

Just borrowed them from friends :)

[OlioPL]

in some shops, you can buy gun for fun (fake guns, like theese or airsoft. some are expensive, but some cheap, too.

[2020ErA]

awesome! but try masking the gunshots.. in goes over the gun at 4:33 for an example

[sparkhat]

Nice! You should enter it into my short film contest!
