FILM: The Contract - Double Cross (Revenge)


Recommended Posts

I posted the film link for the first "Contract" film last year on Neowin.

My friends and I have finally finished the 2nd installment of the Contract series films. It took almost 8months to complete filming, and two tapes of footage.

We're currently in post-production at the moment. About 60% complete; we still have to

do special fx, dialogue, sound effects, and music. In total, the film will be a year in the making. :happy:

The film's running time, is currently longer than the first one. Keep in mind this is a University student film, and tends to lean towards the artistic side of filmmaking (we try to move away as much as possible from the linear side of filmmaking). Also, all equipment was supplied by the students themselves (incl. editing). So do not expect a Hollywood blockbuster. :rolleyes:

But here is the teaser trailer that we released last week on digitalFusions.com :D

Teaser Trailer @ digitalFusions.com

wow, pretty cool.. it reminds me of the Matrix though... are you trying to rip 'em off? :laugh: j/k hahaha anyway, you should've had a VO along with the music, instead of just music. Good luck on the movie.. :D

Razorwing, thanks for checking out the trailer.

btw, as per your comment. Most action films nowadays mimic Hong Kong style action films, hence, the Wachowski brothers did the same. The director of the film, is a huge HK films fan, so yes, he has mimicked styles from say director John Woo, or actor, Chow Yun Fat.

So we are culturally bred with the genres (be it music or film), and tend to pick up ideas that have already been used. :D

I'll post when the final film gets released. (Y)

Well then how are we supposed to see the first one or this when its finished I'm curious? Cause if theres no way for anyone outside your town to see it, then I'm wondering why your posting this on Neowin. Sorry if I came off a bit rude, I'm just curious is all.

By the way, it looks neat. (Y)

Kairon, the films are all on the site! :pinch:

Please look under the "film" section to view all the films. :p

As per your question of how you'll be able to view this film; when the new film is released it'll be uploaded to the site, so you will be able to stream or download it to your comp for later viewing.

Cheers.

looks ok, i am sure the teaser limits you to developing a story in the preview...not a fan of the shadow/double image, but still looks like a good watch, and I am sure it'd be fantastic...I am actually organizing a film festival come the summer, for canadian filmmakers (ontario based really) pm me if you are interested in submitting!

Unique, the "ghosting" effect that you saw was purposely done, as it forecasts the protagonist's outcome later in the film. You will see the use of it in only one area of the film alone. I will explain further when the film is done.

And yes the teaser is a definate limitation to how much we can reveal in the plot.

Again, keep in mind, this is a student film.

As for the festival, please pm me with the details or post them in this thread if you prefer. We're in Canada so we'd be happy to submit our film for the festival.

Cheers.

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
