Dogs of Dover -- the movie

[bw_wolverine]

Good fun! I particularly liked the over the shoulder shot after shooting down the 109. Integrated the green screen live action into the scene very nicely without too much jarring.

You've also given me some more ideas for my own stuff. Thanks!

One thing, ya kinda missed a thank you/credit. 1C Maddox Games! You have it mentioned on the vimeo page, but I suspect people will be grabbing captures of this. Might be nice to have a recognition within the film itself.

Wolverine, thanks for the kind comments. If this has inspired you to make a video.....post it here! I want to see it!

Actually, I gave the boys at 1C special mention in the opening credits. Stutter-free, even! LOL

Thanks again for your input!

Two months late on the reply.....and I don't even work for Canada Post!!!

That intro was the hardest to do. It was shot with a Canon 5D Mark 2 and a Canon 180mm macro lens. Depth of field was only a few millimeters. I used a whip attachment to the follow focus to move the point of focus while shooting from the Spit's prop to my eyeball, but had to hold my head perfectly still to do this while blowing on the spinning prop. I used one of the paintbrushes that was in the coffee mug to hold my head in place by jabbing it into my chin while I was shooting. Needless to say, it took a LOT of retakes until I got it right. The model airplanes were Corgi cast metal which, of course, were already painted. I had bought the little paint jars and paintbrushes earlier in the day as props -- the paint jars were never even opened.

And Riley was actually a few feet away sprawled on the floor as I was shooting this -- sound asleep. I didn't want to risk waking him so I used my iPhone4 to shoot him lying there. Red Giant's Magic Bullet Quick Looks helped mesh the low-res Riley-sleeping clip into the the 1080p high-res dslr footage later.

Sorry for the delayed response - much appreciate your comment.
