Hey guys, here's our latest video! It's the result of what feels like a month's worth of free time. I guess we did shoot it exactly one month ago haha. But It's finally finished, and as usual any criticism is appreciated! There were a couple of effects we were going for from the get go, the "Iron Man" drop in and the Star Trek skydiving scene and a bullet time sequence. There's also a bit of behind the scenes footage at the end.

Shot on Canon 7D's with 28 mm f/1.8 and a 50mm f/1.8 lenses.
Behind the Scenes video and main audio recorded on JVC HM100

Thanks for the sound tips and how you did that scene. Real cool. Thanks for sharing that. Maybe you should do one with him picking up a car or something next. I saw a tutorial on you tube for that. Maybe I will try to figure some of this stuff out too.
 
That was fun. Some nice effects in there...lol...I loved the bazooka. That was a 3d model right? Too funny. It was a quick shot, which worked for the model...I think the texturing was a little minimal and looked cg.

The explosion from the bullet to RPG was way too small. And it would have done some damage to everyone around...although, who am I kidding, the guy just landed without a parachute from a mile-high free fall.

I thought there were too many obvious rack focuses. Yes, we get it, you have a lens that can produce shallow DOF. :) Make them quick and stealthy. We shouldn't notice them. Don't exploit them.

Good stuff. Nice work.
 
@Anet - Thanks! Where in Texas are you from?

@Rocker - no problem, and that sounds cool haha.

@M1chea1 - Good tips, 'll keep the DOF thing in mind for sure. And the bazooka was real. Well, not a real bazooka but a real object. About $45 in PVC plumbing supplies and green spray paint :) The Rocket itself and bullet were obviously CG though.

@Ernest - thanks much!
