  • SymmetryFilms is now seeking funding for the BEACHHEAD sequel!!!
    goto: www.gofundme.com/beachhead
    www.symmetryfilms.com
    A force of dollar store army men invade the beaches of their enemy and establish a beachhead for further operations.
    Lead by an uncompromising General, this is a war that cannot easily be won...
    In Part I, The top Recon Team is selected for the dubious task of blowing up a key bridge and stranding themselves behind enemy lines.

    best army movie ever effects are the best great job

    the houses in the binoculars shots are Puzz 3-D. google it. great props... got most of them used at the Salvation Army. the destroyed hamlet has a podcast, if you're really curious. it's drywall material, mostly, with popsicle sticks and various plastic debris.
    voices were recorded in a studio [owned by Alex Lifeson of the band Rush, actually!] in north Toronto. yes, they were the ULTIMATE MICS!!!

    dig a deeeeep hole (used as mountain range)
    place a plastic tarp in the hole
    shape the tarp to fit the hole
    plug tent pegs through the rivets into the walls of the hole
    fill with water
    leave the hose in the hole so you can fill as needed

    most of the main characters were called Canadian Peacekeepers. but i don't know what brand name they are, there were dozens of kinds.... i got them at dollar stores in Ottawa, Vancouver and Toronto. Most came with some sort of tank or or ten or oil barrels or artillery, etc.

    i garden. in October, before the frost i dug a pit in my garden. then did this:
    - piled the dirt from the pit into a mountain
    - dug a trench leading from the pit to the edge of the garden
    - placed a tarp into the pit and trench
    - filled with water from hose
    i had planned to have a waterfall but my hose didn't reach the back of the mountain!!

  • @jethrodethro
    @jethrodethro  Před 16 lety

    i had an effects editor do all of the 2-D composite effects in Adobe After Effects.
    with Adobe Premiere you can do layers, but no effects animation. you could design a muzzle blast in Photoshop etc, then superimpose it over the gun's muzzle.
    or export the edit as a filmstrip, import it to Photoshop and edit frame by frame. very time consuming process, though.
    thanks for watching.

    that was an awsome video better than any other one i have seen did you make a part 2 yet? the bazooka dude was really funny i wonder how you moved there body parts and how you moved the soilders. that is a good video i like when they threw a grenade to destroy that whole train and how the train flew off the tracks into the water from a little grenade. the bazooka guy has a hilarious voice is he like mental or disoriented or something like that is the bazooka guy a fail in life or a succsess

    i used a few formats [film stock, still pictures, video], but most of the film is made up of 6500+ still shots from a Canon D40 DSLR. google it, it's a killer camera.
    you can use a video camera if it will take still pictures... a video camera will give you the option of mixed formats, as well.
