There's some kind of contest going on over here in Belgium. It's about video art. I've always been into imaging and photographing things, so I wrapped up a team and we decided to create a short-length movie. I can't really tell you the details about it, you have to see it for yourself when it's done.

It takes place in an abandoned building (a swimming pool, in this case.) We're still waiting for a mate to put the VHS on cd, but we already have taken some photographs for a quick intro.

It's still in a rough form, and surely not done yet, but we're thinking of doing this as an intro:

Roger That, brasso.

You weren't really far from it with your axe murderer. It's really somekind of fast-paced horror movie. We're going to use the B/W effect a lot, and also reversing small pieces of the movie.

We have this scene with 3 creatures coming out of graves, and we are going to reverse this ... imagine ... all the sand and dirt getting back together ... really looks great.

We worked about 3 months on the script and preparations, and had about 4 days of shooting. It's the first time I organized a project of this size, and it went pretty well.

I'll keep ye all informed, see you in theaters soon :razz:

nice intro, would also do as a addvert, or whatever.
at the end of that clip, you should put a photo of the entire building/area and leave it for longer or have it stop there and fade into the movie/ more script.
dont know if ya did that allready, dosent play at best quality for me.
nice work!

I like it, but it seems to me that the scenes flash by maybe just a bit to fast.

@diarmaid: It's the highest quality I can achieve without having ultra-sized files.

@Cassius: "Vlucht" is Dutch for "flight".

We've finished the movie today. All I need is a download mirror for a 67,8 mb WMV.

Not enough webspace, and most free webspace hosts limit their files to 2 mb or something like that.

WMV? You fool! Think of us too poor to buy Windows.

I recommend AVI (XVid, anyone?) or MPEG-1. Although MPEG-1 is big, it's compatible and Video-CD Ready.

Yep, we made it this far. This Sat, 24 feb, our movie is shown on a big screen (with surround sound, too !) in the art centre of my hometown, Mechelen !
