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.

    Great physics and effects. The lighting and rendering were well done too.

    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 ;)

    Wow amazing. How long did that take to render? For me just to render a tree took hours!

    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.

    Great looking video, mate! Interesting politics, not sure what it's saying. But the graphics are impressive, nicely rendered. Keep up the creative work!

    very nice from an artistic view.
    not sure what your political views are, but perhaps thats not the point.
    good job!

    Hi, nice job.
    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.

    Wow! That was great. It is weird that something so simple can be so powerful.

    Hi Andrew. This is really a good clip. I know it is because I wanted it to be longer! So definitly good. I like the firing bit with the firing haze and the way the bullets shoot out of the weapons. My question is though, why Australian Flag?? Did not get that bit. The rendering, the action and the speed of the whole clip is very well though of. Very profesional. I can only dream to be that good one day. Well done.

    from a design/graphic perspective it is stunning!!! good job!!

    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.

    I don't exactly understand the point of the word to evoke either. If it is what I think I would have used to provoke. On the other hand I think it's a clear opinion he stated using the song which contains the word funeral at the end and of course the exaggeration with the "sieved" target. But maybe even I am simply ticking the wrong way here.
    The rest was very well done.
    Great work!

    I actually think I understood it. At least from my perspective it seems to be showing the blind action that the "coalition" forces have taken. There isn't a person behind the gun, it's just shooting blindly with no care in the world at what it's shooting at.
