Nicely written, and cleverly uses bits and pieces of previous chapters while pushing things quite a bit further. Ambitiously shot as well - with a cast of 10s, superb location use and a great sound mix. It's perhaps not quite as funny as the previous chapters, leaning more into B-movie horror territory, but I really enjoyed the hints about where things can develop from here.


Enjoyed this one the most. Shots were great, as were the effects and lighting (though, I don't believe they own the rights to the House-like medical zoom in, that is owned by video-co-pilot.net). Either way, nice job!


This film has some very nice things going on in it. The story is cool and the cinematography is slick and seems to be really thought out and not just a camera roaming with no motive. I like the music and the way it sets the tone for what's coming up next. Nice cliffhanger also. I want to see what happens next!!! Great job guys.

This one is fun. Maybe it's time we give zombies another chance.

There are some definite problems with this video, but I enjoyed where you guys took the story. The last scene could have been a little better and work on your audio levels. But you get my vote!

This is by far the best entry that this story arc has seen yet. Great pacing, good rising tension/action, and it stayed interesting the whole time by avoiding talking heads. Excellent work!

Wicked good entry, great work!

Excellent!

Thank god this chapter has a clear winner.

@jhonny I thought about that too, seeing as the blood cell thing is pretty much the EXACT same thing as Andrew Kramer's, but he mentions specifically that all his stuff can be used for whatever, private or commercial.

Oh, snap! That Thompson dude was brilliant!

Great!

I like this one because it's got good production value, it's engaging and it truly advances the story.

Nailed my vote at the 11th hour. I admit that I really didn't keep tabs on this round, but I super-super appreciate the MOVEMENT and PROGRESS in this entry; we have ourselves some ACTIVITY finally! :>

The acting felt a little spotty, but the cinematography was excellent, and the editing was effective. Also, I'm glad there's still a place on the site for entries low on digital effects; my fear has been that we might be evolving into a Best CG contest; other than one shoddy fire composite (but it WORKED, importantly!), you guys played it old school and relied on atmospheric extras, off-screen sound effects, and some tense angles. :>

Best of luck coming down the home stretch! If this doesn't take the chapter, then don't be discouraged; you're making a name for yourself and matching quality material to your reputation. ^_^

this one better win.

10/20/2008 at 11:01 a.m. by JakusB

Haha, @Fungus cause the blood cell effect was sooo not a digital effect =P

10/20/2008 at 12:05 p.m. by FungusRidden

HEY. STOCK FOOTAGE (...legally used, I hope) DOESN'T COUNT! >:O

You can't prove they didn't cut somebody open and shoot that physically, Jakus. Have a little open-mindedness.

10/20/2008 at 12:20 p.m. by JoshuaJMills

@ FungusRidden Legally used all the way. I check to make sure 400 million times before I uploaded it because I knew there would be some concern.

Could you tell us where you got the Stock Footage. It could be a good resource for future projects.

10/20/2008 at 1:17 p.m. by tinsoldier8

Congrats. Now I have to start analyzing your piece to see what I can come up for next chapter. You could've kept INSIDE though. It's getting cold out where I live. :-)

I like how you called him Igor that list time, instead of pronouncing it Egor. Young Frankenstein here we come lol! Nice work, can't wait to see how it builds from here.

@Geek it isn't really stock footage but a tutorial over at videocopilot.net They have all kinds of cool techniques and ideas for approaching effects.
