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.

Practical Special Effects: Blood Burst and Chroma Key

Ingredients: a condom, a little bit of fake blood (there’s too much of it in our video), a fishing line and a washer.

For the second video I used a photograph of this guy’s body to cover the condom.

“Morning” short avaliable

September, 26 — “Morning” premiere went very well. Photos are avaliable here. Most of the 30 people liked the movie and they liked all the old stuff either.

Now everybody can see the film: download it (better quality) or watch it on our site (easier). And we won’t mind if you tell us how much you liked or disliked the film here.

Action Movie. Filming. Day 1

As far as we don´t have a title for our upcoming action short, we´re just gonna call it Action Movie. So the first day of shooting went very well. The best thing was that we shot the most complicated scene in the whole movie. The car was chasing the motorcycle and they shot each other with an assault rifle and a pistol.

Cayenne & Honda

Our cinematographers Ivan and Kostya were belt up in the back of the van and shot the bike and the car from there.

Morning — a new short

We are currently shooting the new short Morning. It’s about a guy who wakes up after some party and tries to remember what had happened there.

We’ve already shot about a half of the needed material. This Sunday we plan to complete the shooting process and start post-production. The short is going to be released in early August.

For those who are either too young to have seen or too old to remember :-) An 8-minute short film Bedhead (1991) was shot with an 8-mm camcorder and won a lot of small film festivals.

To Each His Cinema

To Each His Cinema (Chacun son cinéma) is a collective film of 33 shorts directed by different directors about their feeling about cinema. I liked films made by Lars von Trier, Takeshi Kitano and Zhang Yimou.
