"It's easy to believe in Hell...but it's even harder to believe in Heaven*...I just hope that I can find the peace that will set us free- and may that peace be with me the day that I die"- Ryco

The latest trailer (http://www.tmunderground.com/watch/4...Teaser-Trailer)

A Dark Fate- A Bleak Destiny:


Hunted Mercilessly by the Charlatans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlatan)- witty and cunning assassins disguised as civilians, who have been sent by the people who subjugated them, an ex-special forces soldier, named Ryco, and his band of renegades attempt a suicide mission in order to become free from the reign of their ruler.

With nothing left to loose, badly outnumbered and unquestionably doomed, they will stop at nothing to live. And in this last ditch effort, Ryco will push himself to the limit; and what he'll discover is that even a little knowledge- can be very dangerous.

Targeted for termination, sidetracked by an unforeseeable betrayal and with all that they cherished destroyed, they will succumb to an inevitable conclusion- that they must rendezvous with death...a rendezvous that they shall not miss.

*This part of the phrase is highly symbolic/metaphorical and literal in it's face-value meaning. You'll have to see the movie in order to find out what exactly makes him say this about the hereafter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterlife).

There's my other thread concerning this movie's unique soundtrack that will be remarkably different that any other TMU film out there.

I'm struggling with some ideas, and I'm torn on what medium to use for the movie. So, if you'd please meet me on Skype and tell me if certain ideas could or couldn't work in The Movies then please let me know.

Pre-production is going fine. Jrayteam6 and Rik_Vanguard are reported to be making custom music for the film already based on ideas that I have substantiated.

How about trying those ideas out?

You won't learn how to make great looking scenes by asking others how they would do them, you have to try by yourself.
That's the essence of being creative.
Learn TM - or any other program you fancy using - by playing with it. Learn what you are able to do with it - that involves a lot of trial and error. If you expect to be able to shoot a visually awesome movie in a few hours, you're expecting too much.

Just get to work.

Edit: and please, when listing people who will help you with your movies, try at least to get their names right. That's Rik_Vargard.

Update:

Thanks Sisch- never thought to read from you. Also, my film will be the first TMU film to use 'bullet-time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_time)'- a first. This film is heavily influenced by games like Max Payne and Quake 4, plus films like Babylon A.D., Aeon Flux and those by John Woo.

Edit: My computers can't handle Iclone 2, and I'd know 3 too. Is there a site in which I can download a demo of Iclone 1? Moviestorm is also slow.
