Popeye the sailor fan film short

"POPEYE THE SAILOR" is a short fan film,
Directed and Starring Michael Valentine as "Popeye" and
Orlando Candelario as "Bar Brawlin' Boyd".
This short was shot in 4 hours in New York City and is designed to show the tone and visual style of a planned Bigger film in the works by VALENTINEproductions to debut in 2012.

What if Popeye really existed? What would he have been like as a young man? This is where i wanted/want to go with Popeye. His adventures before becoming the old craggy face sailor we know and love.

"I am a huge fan of Popeye and am very disappointed with how the character has de-evolved and is barely recognized by many these days. I am trying to take this character, that i am so passionate about, and with the hopes of trying to bring him back into the public view and trying to re-instill the dignity, wit, fun and especially that Urban feel that the original Fleischer cartoons had, only based in a more realistic setting".
-Michael Valentine

I hope the short film will be longer

[VALENTINEproductions]

@Prince3140 Yes, the planned short will be more like a short feature. Much more than this micro short presented here.

[Prince3140]

Does anyone know when of next year 2012 this film when debut? At first I thought it was Robin Williams playing the starring role of Role.

[VALENTINEproductions]

@Prince3140 Theres no set date yet as to when the bigger short will be released.

[Kyros]

Not bad. The actor for Popeye should have had some prosthetics on his face and arms, though.

[VALENTINEproductions]

@Kyros That was an idea i had aswell, but it didnt fit with what i wanted to do with Popeye, which was have him set in a some what real world, and this be more of his early adventures. Remember Popeye looks the way he looks because 1- hes about 70 years old and 2- the way his forearms are drawn in the comics, are a depiction of strength. So it really didnt need to be taken literal. As long as you convey that he is a strong guy.

@VALENTINEproductions

How long in length will the planned movie for next year be?

[VALENTINEproductions]

@MrSampleName There are different sounds in there to create one sound.

[MrSampleName]

Where do you get the sound at 2:09 - 2:10? The one as he hits the ground and screen goes black.
