The Ballad of the M4 Carbine
1 month ago
I created this film because I have an interest in the war in the middle east and our involvement with it. I wanted the film to be politically evocative as well as enjoyable to watch. The entire film took approximately 4 months to make and was created and rendered in Blender 2.49a.

I'm a big Band of Horses fan, so I loved the music.
And good to meet another Band of Horses fan. I would DIE to see them live ;)
Really.
I like the camera style,
At the shooting part.
Zooming in, and out.
Really cool.
Oh, and I like the music too!
I know the band.
It really suits with the video.
This is great.
It was a pleasure to watch it!
Real eyecandy!
Cya!

not sure what your political views are, but perhaps thats not the point.
good job!
Added it to Blender3d[Animation/Videos] Channel
Unfortunately, I don't like it so much.
I don't really see the idea behind the movie, but this is personal.
I like very much the timing that follows the music. Your camera moves and lighting are very nice too.
But concerning the rendering, it seams that the images want to look real, but they don't (to me). Maybe because materials and geometries are too perfect.
I will show this video to my Students
however, you write that you "have an interest in the war in the middle east". the content doesn't make a point on the issue. it doesn't explain anything about the war in the middle east (btw: which one do you refer to?).
furthermore, you write that you want the video to be "politically evocative". well, what is it meant to evoke from a political perspective?
my conclusion: you seem to be gloryfying the weapon or the whole war..... maybe i just don't understand it.
The rest was very well done.
Great work!
Great everything! congratulations.
