A Short Fight Scene

[smaklilu90]

U use drums for the gun sound hahah

[dani96fra]

Clap sounds? D:

[alffarr]

@dani96fra Somehow I managed to screw up the audio levels when I exported from Premiere. I don't have the source files anymore or I would re-export. Long story short, don't mess with audio, try and shrink your video down by using a recommended codec instead.

One thing that always pisses me off is when people DON'T TITLE THEIR SHORT FILMS!!!! "A Short Fight Scene" just doesn't cut it! The content of this is excellent, but when the title makes it seem like a random, purposeless test of ability, it becomes one. Had you simply named it, we would've wondered why the guys were fighting, what the backstory was. Now, however, I don't care. Like I said, this is excellent (a few errors, yes, but overall), but I just wish you had given it a name.

@pineapplebaron I have nothing to say other than that I completely agree with you. Oh well, live and learn I guess. Thanks for taking the time to write up an honest critique, they are always appreciated.

[pineapplebaron]

@alffarr You're quite welcome. Thanks for taking the time to make such an enjoyable scene.

[UltimateKevKiller]

nice idea and effects...you should only try to use better sound effects....especially the gun sfx :D

[alffarr]

@UltimateKevKiller Thanks! It's actually my fault, I used good third party sound effects, I just played around with the audio when I was compressing. My HD crashed, so now this is all I have. From now on I will leave audio tweaking to audio guys and stick to messing with video :)

[Eslamm94]

good video :) ,, see mine i make some effects too :D

[alffarr]

@Eslamm94 Thanks! I will check yours out.

[daviddlizz]

Great effects. What program did you use to do the window crack? I would really like to learn how to do that. Im making my thesis film at FSU this summer and I need a similar effect; so Im very interested in finding out how you did that because it looked legit! Did you use any greenscreen?

[alffarr]

@daviddlizz Thanks man. I used after effects for all of the effects in this.

I shot the glass crack from the inside of the truck, that way all i had to do was overlay a picture of cracked glass in front of my forehead. Then it's just animated on over 2 frames. The main thing about visual effects is planning them out before the shoot. Good luck on your thesis!

[daviddlizz]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'm going to start practicing on after effects. Do you know where I could get a cheap version of aftereffects so that I dont have to spend the money to purchase it?

[alffarr]

Youtube is not letting me post links in a comment, so I had to shoot you a message.

But in short, get the 30 day trial and practice, then go get the student discount version.

[cmcartmel]

that was actually really well done guys, I'm impressed

[alffarr]

@cmcartmel Thanks!

[monkeykingwalk]

You can see the dead guy breathing.!! Lol.!

[alffarr]

If he's breathing then he's probably not dead.

[Reddiepoo]

dude, this is sweet.

what camera did u use? excellent quality!

[alffarr]

Thanks bro! It was filmed on a Nikon D90. It's a great little camera.

[ponchochan]

I love it Todd!

[alffarr]

Thanks man, we had fun making it! Next time I'm down there for a few days we should get together and do another one.

[jkwon45]

not bad. i belive diffrent gunn sound layers would be nice. and the fact he shot like 37 rounds out of a 10-12 round gun was off lol. but it was good

[alffarr]

It's the old action movie rule of unlimited ammo and impossibly bad aim :)

Thanks for the comment, I'll be sure to pay more attention to the gun sound fx next time I do an action scene. I'm also thinking I should have added a slight echo to them, but there's always next time.

[jkwon45]
