Metal Gear: Zanzibarland

Our metal gear series fan film based on the final battle between Gray Fox and Solid Snake from MG2.

Filmed in two days with our old cam (October 09), so thats why the video quality is poor.
This is our first piece of work with 3D cgi and also a first attempt by our resident animator and "3D guy", so thanks to Kurt for that.

not to be picky, but snake's headband seems a little too big, like, a couple inches too tall in the front.

And I loved that part at the end with snake running away from fox.

@spider394 Yeah I understand what you mean, I thought it looked big too but I didn't want to repeat the error I've seen people do too often (snake's eyes and forehead being too visible, with a headband about 2cm thick)

but looking back on it I could have sorted the top part out and made it a few centimetres smaller.

Thanks for the comment!

This is absolutely the very best amateur fight scene I have ever had the privilege of seeing! Your choreography, timing, camera work, acting, special effects, and especially the foley all stood out superbly! I only wish you had more Metal Gear work, as I would love to see it from you.

@agiar2000 A late reply, but thanks so much! Really glad you enjoyed watching it since I wasn't sure what people would think of it, as for choreography, I was really lucky to have Charlie (gray fox) as he does various martial arts and helped out for free.

Awesome video dude, the fight scene is perfect.

@LTOWN1993 First of all, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed watching it. As for the camera, we used a Sony DCS W50, (cost £100 in 2007 when I got it) but we now use a Canon HG20 (£650, 2009)
