This Requires the DivX Codec. Other formats will be available when I get around to it.

All the sounds are temporary. And several shots are not finished. The crash at the end is going to be replaced.

hehehe... pretty interesting. Looks like a bit of work went into it, but it kept making me giggle

What the heck is the thing chasing the car? hehe

That looks totally amazing dude!
I like everything, the setting, the CG effects, the story. Really cool! That's the kind of stuff I would want to do.
The only things I would say are:
- The alien vehicle or pilot (is there a pilot?) need more details - but I'm sure they're not finished yet.
- The editing could be a little tighter: some sequences are just a bit too long (like when you go in the car to start the chase, this sequence slows down the action because it feels too long).
- You coulod probably bump up the color saturation to have a more onagey looking desert and accentuate the stylish edge you already have.
- I don't really like the design of the alien 'car'... looks too much like a car too me. I would have liked something that just look totally weird. But that's just personnal taste. I'm sure you choosed this design because that's what you wanted.

All in all I'm floored by the qulaity of this little movie. Maybe not as ambitious as 405 but sure weirder and exciting. Excellent!

Thanks all,

This is all part of a promo for a future short which will show much more of the story.

There is a fair bit of detail in the CG car but I toned it down for most of the shots because you can't see it.

This is entirely a one-man production. All the shots were set up and taped by me over about 3.5 hours in 112 degree desert sunshine. A lot of the shot flow is jacked but there's not much I can do about it now. Several of the shots that are too long I'd like to cut (and some of them I will) but I don't have much to cut to. I will probably recut the film several times before it's finished.

Thanks for the crits.
