Window Media Player pops up, but it never buffers.  It says on
"Connecting. . ." and doesn't budge.  

May want to check that link.

Hmmm, is that a Robocop special you're packing there?  (http://2ni2.com/emoticon/special/gifs_demonios.gif)

i couldn't come up with good holster.  then i watched Good, Bad, and Ugly again and realized that Tuco hangs his gun on a cord rather than using a holster.

oh yeah.  and i got the Robocop gun off ebay for $20 including shipping.  it shoots those little plastic airsoft BBs and is surprisingly accurate.

Did you shoot yourself in front of a green/blue screen?

Very cool.   :cheers:

I could post my final law school project, but I think your gunfighter animation is a little more entertaining than a 42 page paper about criminal law and the economic model for deterrence....

my god I have chosen a boring profession...  :roll:

the background plate was shot as a panorama.  it's a series of 24 images stitched together to make a spherical projection of that location.

i was shot in front of a green screen.

all the robot stuff and the particles were done in Maya.  i rendered in multiple passes using Mental Ray (eight passes for the robot; diffuse, key, shadow, specular, reflection, hdr and two passes for mattes).  it was composited using Shake.

and then editing a sound were done in Premiere 6.5, which sucks.


cheers,
