Courtesy ben3308 - 284 views - 2 months ago
A project for ADV304 displaying the use of courtesy in society and how we . Shot in an afternoon and edited in a few hours.

Transcript, in the event the audio is too low:

Our modern society, while twice as complex, is half as happy.

We cast sideways glances at passerby. We judge strangers with a malevolent stare.

The cars that we drive insulate us from others.

Skyscrapers dot our horizons, their material worth more significant than the value we put on our own society.

We walk slow and self-indulgently, blind to the problems of others.

We step carelessly through crowds, worried only about our own issues.

In our selfishness we struggle to find truth, and grimace in the face of harmony.

Contained within all our problems, however, is a solution.

Through simple gracious acts, we breed courtesy.
Through it, we find the strength to overcome the even darkest pit of society.

And while we can't each mend every problem or bad habit that arises, we can all make some change.

Because, in the end, when we alter even the smallest of ignorances, we form a positive epidemic of the largest magnitude.

Courtesy. Pass it on.

Kingdom Come ben3308 - 270 views - 3 months ago
This is it. This is the epicfail.

Made in just 24 hours, "Kingdom Come" is Atomic Productions' 2nd Place Winning Entry to the 2008 Dallas 24-Hour Video Race. It's overly dramaticized, it's sloppy, and it's quick. So just take it for what it is.

Heat (In 60 Seconds) ben3308 - 600 views - 4 months ago
This is our entry into Empire Magazine's 'Done in 60 Seconds 2009' contest. We remade Michael Mann's 1995 crime epic 'Heat', starring Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro.

This is definitely one of the more half-assed of our filmmaking attempts, but we still think it came out hilarious (even if only to us).

Pages ben3308 - 357 views - 7 months ago
Made in just two days for the 2008 Dallas 48-Hour Film Project, "Pages" is our first attempt at delivering pure dramatic entertainment without any messages.

While there's not much to say about the story- at least, not without giving anything away- it's a bit of a mix between Memento (hadn't seen it when I shot this), The Bourne Identity, and Cover's Story.

I flew into Dallas after class one day to shoot this, and flew back to class a few hours before the contest ended. It was, to say the least, a very hectic weekend. The copy you're seeing is the draft I was sent while it was being edited. I wish I had a more polished copy (a few bits of unsynced audio here and there) but seeing as I live in a different city, I can't access the original copy. This is also why the credits are separate from the film.

Sorry for the lame track in the beginning and silenced audio. Warner Bros. hates us, lol. Please SUBSCRIBE, RATE, COMMENT, we'd all really appreciate it!

Atomic Productions presents our Batman fanfilm of sorts. When the Joker escapes from Arkham, he is encountered by an old enemy.

This was made in the heat of Batman fever during the latter part of the summer. We hope you enjoy it!

"I've got my sights set on you, and I'm ready to aim."

Music video done for third period Multimedia. Shot in one class period with limited crew, but props to Sean Walker for donning the wig and doing the video. It came out pretty good.

Here come the tags......

VLog Test ben3308 - 105 views - 1 year ago
We're testing out a new VLog series, this is not for content but more of an equipment test to see what resources we need to get these VLogs up and running. So don't take this seriously, and FX guys, don't worry: we're still creating regular videos.
