[TheCinematicEye]

awesome short film :D Really liked the fight choreography.

[hmcindie]

@TheCinematicEye Thanks a lot ;)

[TheBullseyeStudios]

Hahaha thats great guys! Is this part of a longer video, or was that stuff after the credits just extra footage you didn't use?

Good job!

[hmcindie]

@TheBullseyeStudios Thanks a lot! It's just extra footage we shot and edited but ultimately removed. There was too much fighting already and the stuff with the woman was excised and a new beginning scripted.

Todella hyvä Pätkä. Minusta paras teidän pätkä. Nähnyt tosi monta kertaa. Tässä on kaikki kohillaa. Esim. musiikki kohdassa 1:05 on tosi hyvä. Michael law tehnyt hyvää työtä ja loppu teksti musakin myös. Tässä on kyllä yli voimaisesti paras juoni ja ihan hyvät alku läpät :D

[TheParkouraaja]

joo nice. muistan viime vuonna tejjat treeneis ja harrastan vieläkin.

@TheUnbeholden Sounds like you've been watching too many bad vamp movies :P

Demonds feed on fear, and use deception.

If you show a demon fear, it grows stronger.

If you let the demon get to your feelings, it'll get stronger.

But if you're strong, and let your feelings stay untouched, the demon will be weaker than a human, ofc, real demons, the huge ones, have brute strenght.

[TheUnbeholden]

@LetoZeth Older vampires are even more powerful... perhaps a human might stand a chance against a newborn vampire, if they have a gun. I would say multiple human beings with guns and armored vests would have trouble taking out most vampires. If they are armed with flamethrowers or incendiary ammunition that would be devastating to all vampires then they have a good chance of winning assuming the vampire doesn't have the element of surprise and isn't fast enough to dodge bullets.

[TheUnbeholden]

@LetoZeth Vampires are stronger then normal humans, faster, and usually take a human from behind and grab them so they can't move, and bite them in the neck for their daily blood... why would it take so many vampires to take down one human being?. Vampires have a vast array of powers... A stake in the heart won't kill a vampire, only paralyze it temporarily until the stake is removed, only cutting the head off or burning them to death will kill them. They also burn in sunlight really fast.

[LetoZeth]

you're talking about demons, yet these are vampires.i dont see vampires as demons, because they have no relations to them, and everywhere i look, vampires are overall weak, but deceiveing.

[TheUnbeholden]

@LetoZeth A demon can morph, changing their physical structure. That's my point. They use their power to manipulate the DNA, strengthening it. Thus appearing monstrous like. There's no real reason for a demon to keep its 'mortal form' if its about to fight someone.

[LetoZeth]

Well, if a demon would take over a human host, the demon would only gain the power of that host, ofc, a human never uses 100% of his muscle capacity, if we did, we'd probably break our bones.

So if a demon, in a human host, would use the full strenght of the human host, the host would break apart.

But, i wouldnt reffer to something as weak as a vampire, as a demon, because a vampire is still bound by human physical rules.

[LetoZeth]

@TheUnbeholden Jesus fucking christ, you expect me to read all that?!

If we're gonna argue about something, lets at least do it the old fasioned way, 1 issue at a time.

[TheUnbeholden]

@LetoZeth Also, I'm not just talking about the fallen, but there are other sort of demons. Eastern hunters call all shapeshifting creatures Hengeyokai... and eastern hunters call all evil supernatural creatures “demons” (including vampires and werewolves). You could call a creature both Hengeyokai and demon... if its both evil and assumes different forms. In which case Fallen is the best one I've found.
