It was not scripted, very fun, made in less than an hour, and my first film.

Enjoy, comments, praises.......

Motorbikes are the plot.

Oh, and if you think this is good, wait until the next one, its awesome, and I'm not just saying that because I'm the main character in it.

It was OK. The whole part with the tanks chasing you and you chasing the tanks was... uh.. strange? The tanks should have at least fired rounds at you, whether they missed or not. And bikes chasing tanks around? Doesn't make any sense. I also didn't like how you used the 300 music in one of the parts, it didn't really fit. Next time try to make it more interesting, use real voices, and plan out the story and the plot more. Just trying to offer some constructive criticism.

The bikes chasing tanks around? If they are loaded with C4 I would run

If you didn't catch it, the vehicles symbolized power on the road, they didn't need to shoot. THe charge showed that the bikes could beat the tanks.

The bikes then chased the tanks out of their turf.

Just read the text next time.

I read the text. Fact is, a bike can't even damage a tank. A tank would easily crush a bike.

Not literally, think the bikes metaphorically that they beat the tank drivers will by showing they rule the road.

Ya ub3rxn00b is right.

I shure wouldn't want to live in los bicicletas crew's turf

these guys are mean

If I had all those bikes after me, I'd ditch teh tank

paco · Post by **paco** » 2007-04-17 02:45

Los bicicletas are not to be messed with. I kept thinking about the three amigos movie, where they act tough and one of them gets shot in the leg. With real bullets!

Christ, why does every Battlefield 2 movie feel the need to overlay crappy teen rock music? I guess it is your first video. Please lose the stereotypical soundtrack for future videos, yeah?

It was a nice concept for a video, but technically very rough around the edges. It dragged on quite a lot with some shots being a lot longer than necessary, and as a result I got pretty bored. Guess you had to be there.

Don't worry, you'll learn as you make more.

I think you are thinking too metaphorically about the meaning of this movie, to be honest, this movie symbolises 'Bikes are cool'.

Honestly, this was my feeling as well. Just a little to long and indulgent to keep the viewer (me at least), focused. I did not really get the whole storyline/theme, but there was some cool camera shots and stunts done with the bikes, (I know how you were getting that front end up now...

).

The switch in the soundtrack to the Queen song was quite the change, however there didn't seem to be a key visual change or story change to coincide with the tempo change.

??:

An interesting concept, just a little dry/long in the execution. Good first attempt though.

A movie about a Rambo type would be funny. One guy owning the whole of Basrah. So much can be done with cutting. If a guy jumps out of a helo, you don't have to show what actually happens. He could just go from crouch to standing and start running in the next cut etc etc..
