looks great Dan. I like the contrast between the real world to the alternate on blues vs the golds/yellows.

Thank you Tanya :)

Really nice film. The music is great and the sound desing is awsome. I found some of the slow mo's are long and are not really helping the story, but are only a pretext to make the film looks kool.

The guy on xsibase is right. Your hero should have arm himself with 2 baseball bats instead of his stick. :)

Keep on the great work!
Dan Gaud 2 years ago

Ja Merci man! Au départ les longues séquences de slow motion était là pour laisser assez de footage pour dire toute la narration.. mais à la derniere minute j'ai décider de couper la narration de moitié fak jme suis retrouver pogner avec plein de shots de slo mo trop longue ou y se passe rien... Oh well, live and learn! :P

Nicely shot and edited and great special effects. Nice job! With the use of VO, it has the look and feel of a trailer or teaser for a longer film. Do you have plans to expand it in that way?
Dan Gaud 2 years ago

Yes, exactly. Hopefully, someday I'll have some financial backing to make a feature out of this. Meanwhile, I have other ideas that I want to put on film!

Thanks :)
Isabelo Pascual 2 years ago

Damn Dan, I loved it. The ending however was inconclusive. Is this a trailer?
Dan Gaud 2 years ago

I tried to make some sort of hybrid between a trailer and a linear film. So the ending is there to make the audience feel that this little snippet of story is only the beginning of the adventure!

Hope that made sense. Thanks!
Sean Rourke 2 years ago

VERY well done! I was not expecting that kind of visual quality AT ALL when I started watching. The concept is solid, the storytelling is advanced, and the visuals were gorgeous. I'm exhausted just thinkin' about all the work you put into that.
Anthony Thompson 2 years ago

Great work. Take this story, expand it, make a feature and cut down on the VO. I found myself wishing you would just show me instead of having this guy talk to me, which begs for a feature length project.

Fantastic VFX.
Dan Gaud 2 years ago

Oh yes! A feature length version would be pretty fun to make. And yes, no more VO! :)

Thanks!

Go for it, bro.
I think you're very talented.
Dan Gaud 2 years ago

Yeah all the visuals by myself, the music by Maxime Goulet and sound design by Yan Doiron.

Thanks a lot that's a very kind comment!

Excellent work brother. Love the visuals. Hate to say it man, but you should remove "Rock That Shit" from ur profile. Leap is awesome and "Rock that shit" is just shit. Not trying to be an ass-just giving you my opinion.
