Was this filmed around Oakland Int. airport? Just wondering.... (It's in MI)

[tmudirector]

@jd080850 Yes, this short was filmed at OCIA, mainly at Alternative Avionics, in June of 2007.

Had to edit part of this for my editing 1 class at Columbia College Chicago. We didn't have all the shots though.

[tmudirector]

The school only was given a small portion of action footage from 2 scenes, specifically to use for an action editing exercise...I've never seen any cuts of what anyone did, would be interested to see yours!

[William82oct]

what kind and how many cameras did you use for the entire short film?

[tmudirector]

1 Sony F900 CineAlta HDCAM, 1 Panasonic Varicam, and 2 HVX200's. The 2 larger cameras were rented from a local rental house in MI (where we shot the movie), and the 2 HVX's were privately owned by friends.

Liked everything but the Cobra. That seemed a tad too boyish. All that firepower on a vehicle that has the high advantage can't stop two sport bikes moving in front of it, sure, ok, whatever.

If its garbagbe how about u try to make a video like it?

[ActionMovieBuff]

hmm, one thing is missi- 2:25 oh there it is.

[bigblackracoon]

At 0:50 he actually shot that poor guy in the dick!!!! 0_o

[Xevailo]

Awesome! Nothing more needs to be said :)

[darktrainfilms]

@imprezaver4 Everyone is reading into this too much. NOBODY can do John Woo movies better than John Woo. But his stuff is good enough to make imitators all around. Robert Rodriguez in DESPERADO and The Wachowski Bros in THE MATRIX worked their fan service in, but honestly, John Woo can only make John Woo movies. So everyone chill.

pistol ownage !

[yny]

i cant feel any emotions in this clip its just "killings" this is just a copy

[liluoke]

could someone please provide the pin yin for these lines at 1:20

in particular i can't catch the word for "respect" and after wu lun ru he, "must stop you"

[hostelslayer]

Hammer geiles Video ich liebe John Woo filme und das echt ein guter kurz Film der dem Genre alle EHRE macht !!! einfach genial

[Shalom2378]

Everything of scenes,cameraworks,actions can imitate John Woo style very well!!!

You did fucking great job!!!!!

[imprezaver4]

Too many resemblance. E.G. Face/Off (Airstrip runway),

ABT2 (Sucking lighter flame), Putting cigarette into mouth

behind lower lip (Jacky Wu Jing??), shooting inside hangar

between brothers (warehouse from Hardboiled). And 0:45

is an action from Fuqua's The Replacement Killers in a car

wash.

My words aren't meant to squish your hardwork, but I prefer

you make use of Woo's elements, not just duplicating his

past work. Slow-mo, righteousness, brotherhood's dignity &

chivalry, that sorta things.
