Our new short

Hello there. We have a new short which was made specially for Philips Parallel Lines contest. There were two main requirements:
  1. The film had to be maximum 3 minutes long,
  2. Only this dialogue allowed was this:
    — What is that?
    — It’s a unicorn.
    — Never seen one up close before.
    — Beautiful.
    — Get away, get away!
    — I’m sorry.
Our short is titled Metamorphosis. You can watch it here or on YouTube

Sunday Shooting

Attaching the pyrocartridge to the body

Last Sunday we tried to emulate multiple bullet hits as if someone was shooting a tommy gun. The result was pretty lame and we’re going to reshoot this short. Photos of the process are available. Read More →

The rest of the photos are avaliable on Yandex.

Practical Special Effects: Pyrotechnics and Blood

Get Flash Player and enable JavaScript to see this video.

Last time we tried to make a blood burst effect with a fishing line and a washer. This time we decided to try other ways like using pyrotechnics. Ingredients are still very cheap: a piece of wood (for protection), a petard, a needle (to make a hole in the petard), a nichrome filament (to use as a detonator), a wire and some batteries.

Guerilla (2008)

Even if Guerilla is not the best movie ever (I haven’t seen it yet), it should at least be way better than The Motorcycle Diaries.
