Battlefield 2 Action Movie “Escape from Mashtuur City” Remastered!

I remastered an old film I made back in 2006, and originally did a remix of it for 2007. In 2010, I decided to slightly up the visuals, introduce new special effects, add a proper intro and exit, as well as put the ratio to 16:9. Only small improvements, but realize the video was not HD, so I’m doing as best as I can.

The film was created by a team of people (everyone is acting), and every person in the film I had to cast and direct. I acted as the director, sound designer, film editor, and essentially put the entire production together. Sadly, the ending nor beginning was every fully finished. Watch it now:

Tell me what you think!

YouTube Description:
This is a remastered version of a Battlefield 2 action movie I created in 2006 and published in 2007.

Note that this movie contains scenes 3-6. Scenes 1, 2, and 7 were never completed, and thus there’s not a real solid beginning nor end to it. The ending, especially, is very abrupt.

The video was originally created in Windows Movie Maker, with the first remastering using Vegas 7.0. The current version was edited in Vegas 8.0. Music is from the Blackhawk Down Soundtrack.

Some of the footage was recorded with low resolution, so some of the visual are a bit pixelated. This is not my fault as I cannot re-render the original footage, so just bare with it.

My “Men Who Stare at Goats” Review

Just wrote a review last night about Men Who Stare at Goats, a truly unique film that combines psychic warfare, Iraq, the new age 70’s movement, Vietnam, and goats. It’s really quite an absurd film. Here’s a snipplet from my review:

This quirky adventure mixes the irony of psychic warfare in the US army, a tale of self discovery, political commentary, a mix of great actors, and a premise that is guaranteed to be off-the-wall. While this may seem like a sure winner, it stumbles rather than taking flight and becoming a true classic.

Interested in what I’ve got to say? View my review posted at MovieSector. It’s got the full text, screen captures, a trailer, and my final score (you can also add your own score).

2 New Student Film Projects

I’ve completed two student films recently, one for Advertising and Imagery and one for Introduction to Mass Communications. I learned how to operate Final Cut Pro, Sountrack Pro, iMovie HD, and GarageBand all on beginner to intermediate levels. My experience with Sony Vegas 8 and Audacity really helped in the use of these new software programs, since I already had the fundamentals down.

The first film is for my Introduction class, and it was all about using as many features, functions, and effects within Final Cut Pro as possible. It’s not really a high quality work, but for a first project in Final Cut, it’s decent!

The next one is far simpler, took less time to complete, and I feel like it’s better quality. It’s a zoning advertising for an upcoming vote in Jefferson county, but it’s just a mock advertising. I think I did a good job tackling it.

Movie Review: District 9

d9-ss3 I’ve written a review for the Science Fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp called District 9. Just what is District 9? You really have to watch the movie to find out. And boy, will it blow your mind.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and I believe that you, too, should have the experience of watching it.

You read my review posted over at my new website called “Movie Sector.”
