The Aeneid

A short film made from various scenes from Virgil's Aeneid. The plot may not make total sense if you have not read the book but hopefully you will enjoy the humor

I don't remember any swords actually clanging against harpy in Virgil's version; were they not too slimy/filthy for good contact?

You blaspheme?

[jwitwer]

yeah and I dont think King Priam wore a tie die robe, or Aeneas killing a filmer and come to think of it I'm pretty sure the crew was more than 2 people.

Wow, we messed this thing up BAD!

haha

Hahah that's great! I love the special effects - what editing program did you use to make the pictures/statue's mouths move??

[jwitwer]

I used final cut pro for it all. All I basically did was make two pictures in GIMP (a free watered down version of photoshop), one of the normal statue (no background) and one of the statue with it's 'mouth' open (no background), then imported them into FCP and cut each image down to a couple frames, then switch between the two over and over so it looks like their mouth is moving ... fun stuff

Amazing video! Hilarious, holds your attention, and does a great job of telling the story! Thank you for making this! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it! Coming from a Greek!

I really wish some good studio would make a proper film for the Aeneid; it would be so tense and dramatic - cutting from the battle scenes to the gods on Olympus above, discussing the fates of those in the fighting, who shall die and who live....the whole Dido story. And Turnus! Fuck it would be good.

when did aeneas kill a irish man for dido? why would they know irish men when the irish havent left even to attack scotland. any who, what happened to the funeral party at sicily. or the battle for lavinia. you could have at least on he map of lines passed it through sicily. o well really fun yet strange video. i needed revision that wasnt writte down and this is what i got and it was fun.

Have fun oh crew member 1 and 2 and the other guys.
