90 minutes - full green screen SciFi

[vizual]

hey guys,

I like to share the trailer for my new film - all done in front of green screen. the film will be 90 minutes. after one week we finished the first 2 minutes trailer (only a friend and i worked on it).
what do you think about ist?
we heavily used "Action Essentials 2 -2K", "Pro Scores" and "Designer Sound FX".

I love the scene when the babe takes off her clothes!!! Amazing body!

And I like the Sin City style....

[Ben Wotton]

wow, really nice. you obviously have discovered the lightwrap since the short film. lol. can't wait to see it.

thank you guys

right, lightwrap rocks we surely want to improve the overall look and style for the final film... maybe we go even further with the comic-style... if you are interested in how the production is going on you can also visit: http://www.wreckamovie.com/snowblind

XD so much obvious greenscreen. I mean no one could really tell except for anyone on this site. but. i hate a large amount of green screen. a few quick moments is fine but that amount makes it feel... off

[Max Scheijen]

I like the "green screen look". It's Sin City looking. I like the style and i think it looks profensional.

[bobbyk]

Awesome work very inspiring

I'm really interested, what are you using for most your compositing, Nuke?

[vizual]

thank you bobbyk.

we used about 50% After Effects... that was my part... (the snow was done in particular, great tool!)...
combined with 50% Autodesk Flame ... that was my colleague Kalle.

cheers, bastian

You got good lighting and quality production down, don't ruin it by doing it on green screen. I would only green screen things i cant do in real life but other than that i would shoot on location. Your green screen is so obvious its hard to watch, I loved sin city but even for having a comic feel the green screen still looked real as if it where part of the shot... For example your BG is way to big or small on one scene (where some guy jumps) It looks like the town is small and he is a giant.

I suggest you shoot on location and try hard to make the movie work. you have the gear and AE knowledge apparently, you should shoot for realistic.

[bobbyk]

I think Snowblind's look is part of it's appeal, markets are opening up for this kind of stuff

I've never heard someone say mirrormask should have been shot all live action. Different styles work for different stories.

Sehr gut

[Fabian]

Where do I know the actor from?? Didn't he play in Gute Zeiten/Schlechte Zeiten?? (not that I've ever watched it LOL)

[Burritoclock]

I think it's kinda silly to say film it all live. For one thing perhaps the all Green screen is a choice of look (one I like when it is done well like this) , but for another why not say use only real blank guns they are more realistic, or use real squibs, or rent a real helicopter so it doesn't look fake....

Anyway, If this comes out you will be selling a DVD? I would love to purchase one and support the movie.

The budget is very low: 300 000€

In dollars is around 200 000$

hey guys,

thank you again for the kind words

@ planetmirth -
dankeschön

@ Fabian -
Right - you know him from GZSZ - he is Robert Lyons - a brilliant cast for this! http://www.robertlyons.de/

@ tony -
we realy choosed the full green screen for our story and the shooting is already finished... so we will use this instead of shooting all again and we did it realy on a low budget... this trailer was done in one week with only two guys... the look is still in development and of course we want to improve for the final film... maybe we go even more into comic novel direction. if we have a bigger budget one day we would be happy to use our skills on live sets and blow up everything like bruckheimer... and than combine it with vfx... but for this film it was not our goal and we will stick to our style of 2.5d-grindhouse-green-screen-western

@ Burritoclock -
yea, the film weill be on dvd an blueray... it will take a few month for the post... but as soon as it comes out you will find all details on our website... and i will post it here again.
in the meantime you can support the post production of the movie and buy a frame of it... how that works?!

I am not a fan of obvious greenscreens but this looks quite good. Especially the first bike scene, love it!

The budget is very low: 300 000€

In dollars is around 200 000$

428'632 USD actually

Yeah... I'm Very bad at Math...

[Ccampbellfilms]

oh man, this looks awesome! I was laughing so hard at the titles "WINTER WAS NEVER THIS HOT". Really funny stuff! Very cohesive too, how did you do all the digital sets, I was trying to make a short film on greenscreen and found the set creation to be very difficult.

Big TV feature on SNOWBLiND this tuesday! Tune in to ARTE at 20:00 CET - Reruns on wednsedaythe 2nd, 12:30 and 17:20 CET so check it out

[Fulmen]

don't be insulted, but even a inexperienced viewer can see it's shot on green screen. If you are trying to cover that up in front of "normal" audience, it's not gonna pass, for sure. Anyway good luck!
