[insaneMoViEgoer]

cant wait ;)

[darthspielberg]

can or can't?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

whoops:P cant

[darthspielberg]

cool.

[Sparta*]

That looks like its gonna be wicked Darth, you should give all your loyal friends on this board a sneak peek ;)

[New_Breed]

sounds interesting, i look forward to march 25th.

[Nimrandir]

LOTR meets SW, hmm, will be very interesting.

[darthspielberg]

New Breed...there is no set date yet and i am not sure if we will be selling it right away...but when we do, a portion will be going to the Tsunami efforts.

[Nimrandir]

That is most good of you Darth.

How, many films have you made?

[darthspielberg]

I have made one full length (Ring of Friends) and one short film (The Life and Times of Donny Hall) I have also helped out in smaller ways on numerous film.

[Sparta*]

Thats awesome darth! any words of advice for someone who wants to start doing stuff like that???

[darthspielberg]

get out there and do it. No excuses. Get a camera, computer and make some movies. I really just have a lot of good friends who are willing to help. Thank the Lord!

[Nimrandir]

I have made one full length (Ring of Friends) and one short film (The Life and Times of Donny Hall) I have also helped out in smaller ways on numerous film.
Are these available to buy from anywhere?

[Nimrandir]

I have a story that i want to make a short film on, but I am waiting till I can afford a camera.

[Sparta*]

Thats wicked Nim! You gotta show us all when your done. You gotta show us your movie too Darth, you can't just tease us like that!

[darthspielberg]

no. Ring of Friends has legal problems due to the use of Howard Shore score from ROTK and FOTR and Life and Times was for a class, and was sadly deleted when i finsiehd. I tried to save it, but to no avail. :(

[Nimrandir]

Thats is sorowful. That is a problem I was thinking about. For a score I would have to find some music, but then I couldn't use it without permission and that would cost me much money.

[darthspielberg]

www.freeplaymusic.com

[Nimrandir]

Hmm...Now...what can this have to do with this thread.

[Nimrandir]

Ah, fixed.

Thanks Darth, excellent.

[darthspielberg]

it is royalty free music, that can be used, for a small one time price, or if you are Steven Spielberg or Pete Jackson, you may use it for free.

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Having been lucky enough to not only see, but OWN a copy of Ring of Friends and seeing the teaser trailer to FORBIDDEN WORLD, I can say this film will be better than you think.

Best of luck as always to ya, Darth. :)

[darthspielberg]

thanks, JEDI.

[SarumanTheWhite]

I can only wish you goodluck, Darth. I am looking forward to see this film :)

[Sparta*]

what is ring of friends about Darth?

[darthspielberg]

It is a farse of LOTR with two friends taking an evil ring to the frozen icelands of Moydoy, facing Sourman and the Omnipotent Eye, meeting up with Ogre (a Ranger), and Galady, Queen Elf, and not to mention Shmichael...aka Hack. Very Funny. Entered it in the film festival at ORC but i am not sure if it made it.

[Sparta*]

I hope it made it, that woudl be wicked! it sounds really funny!

[darthspielberg]

edit:

The Time has Passed...

darthspielberg@hotmail.com

[Sparta*]

It's day's like these that i'm proud to be a board member :) unfortunatley I can't watch it right now Darth, my work comp doesn't have any sound. I will definately watch it when I get home though.

[darthspielberg]

cool. I hope you like it.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

:applaud:
looks pretty good.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

just out of curiosity what type of camerea do u use? miniDV?

[darthspielberg]

MiniDV is correct. I also used a bit of film grain to give some authenticity.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

have u tried using widescreen mode? i remember when i was shooting my movie and discovered wide mode, it made everything look and feel a bit more cinematic

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

A great little paraody which warrants a great little sequel. I know, Darth. I am sounding like a broken record they way I keep repeating myself. ;) It's true though, you left the film open for a much anticipated sequel.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

i am interested in viewing "Ring of Friends"

[darthspielberg]

JEDI is the only board memember, sadly, with that distinction. Due to legal problems i cannot sell, and if i cannot sell, i cannot afford to distribute it. I may work something out with the sequel.

[darthspielberg]

REMINDER!
TWO MORE DAYS TO VIEW THE TRAILER

[Nimrandir]

Great Darth, I will try to view it tonight as I dod not have high speed.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

JEDI is the only board memember, sadly, with that distinction. Due to legal problems i cannot sell, and if i cannot sell, i cannot afford to distribute it. I may work something out with the sequel.
why not distribute it on something like Grouper (http://grouper.com) ?
its a personal P2P program. like kazzaa, but only friends in your group can download from you.

[Sparta*]

^^ good idea :)

[SarumanTheWhite]

I, unfortunately, have not seen the trailer. The site requires me to have WMedia Player 9.0, which I do, but it doesn't recognise it. I tried with different browsers (Opera, IE, Mozilla)... no luck :( .

[fattybolger]

Have the sam problem, STW...bummer

[darthspielberg]

those who cannot view it, email me
darthspielberg@hotmail.com

tell me if you have 56k or Broadband/Tline

[SarumanTheWhite]

those who cannot view it, email me
darthspielberg@hotmail.com

tell me if you have 56k or Broadband/Tline

Thanks, Darth :)

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

I like the "grouper" P2P idea also. That way everyone can view it.


RoF is a great film. :)

[darthspielberg]

I like the "grouper" P2P idea also. That way everyone can view it.


RoF is a great film. :)

That Might be a good idea. I might have to look into it.

[darthspielberg]

NOTICE: THE TRAILER CANNOT BE VIEWED AT THE SITE...IF YOU STILL WISH TO SEE IT, EMAIL ME WITH THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SPECIFICS. (Broadband/56k)

[Nimrandir]

It would be wonderful if we could see it. I am very intrested to see your work.

[darthspielberg]

that seems to be the general consesus here at the boards. I might look into Grouper, if only to distribute my films.

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

It would be wonderful if we could see it. I am very intrested to see your work.


I think you would really enjoy RoF.

[Sparta*]

Come on Darth....you know you want tooooo...:)

[darthspielberg]

I know. I am very wary of P2P programs as of now. I had some issues with my computer and Kazza. Whatever. I am actually looking into grouper and if i do, i will let you all know when to seach for THE FORBIDDEN WORLD. :)

[darthspielberg]

YEP! I WILL BE DOING IT! RING OF FRIENDS WILL BE GOING TO GROUPER. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE EVERYTHING SET UP. THE FORBIDDEN WORLD TRAILERS (and maybe even the film itself!) MAY FIND THEIR WAY THERE.

THE TIME HAS COME....(dun dun dun)

[Sparta*]

awesome Darth, your a good man!

[insaneMoViEgoer]

ive been using the program for about a month now. dont worry, unlike kazzaa this has no spyware/adware.

[Sparta*]

thats comforting. I F***ing hate spyware and adware so very very much

[darthspielberg]

amen to that...

[insaneMoViEgoer]

how big is the file?

[Darth Barth]

Thats wonderful Darth! I cant wait to see it, I have been hearing about this for so long :)

Maybe you will get "discovered" and become famous, and then you can include bits of your first movies you ever made on your DVD releases like m. night shamalayan!

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

YEP! I WILL BE DOING IT! RING OF FRIENDS WILL BE GOING TO GROUPER. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I HAVE EVERYTHING SET UP. THE FORBIDDEN WORLD TRAILERS (and maybe even the film itself!) MAY FIND THEIR WAY THERE.

THE TIME HAS COME....(dun dun dun)


:applaud:


*goes and gets a suit for the big premiere* ;)

[Nimrandir]

Thanks Darth, That is wonderful!

[darthspielberg]

I am glad that you are happy. This will be fun. It will be in WMV format and i will try at a later date to make a QuickTime file of the same movies.

[Nimrandir]

Now to aquire High Speed Internet.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

this becoming one of my most anticipated movies for '05. maybe for the fact that its gonna be a LEGAL download.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

so when can we expect to be able to download?

[darthspielberg]

uh, not sure. I am having problems with grouper. I have high-speed internet, so the internet is on all the time, but everytime i open grouper it tells me it needs an internet connection...WHAT AM I DOING WRONG????

[insaneMoViEgoer]

not sure whats wrong. what web browser do u use?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

it could be your Firewall.

[darthspielberg]

might have to check it out. I may have the program running in a few days, but i will be planning an official release date for Ring of Friends. . . :)

[insaneMoViEgoer]

if all else fails, u could try http://yousendit.com and post the link here.

[Sparta*]

your just full of useful ideas aren't you insane?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

well, i am what i am and i do what i can ;)

[Sparta*]

haha good stuff. Keep on truckin'

[darthspielberg]

If you visit the official site
http://theforbiddenworld.tripod.com
you can listen to a sample of the main theme of the movie.

It is in the Soundtrack page (accessed by the main navigation bar)

[insaneMoViEgoer]

cool soundtrack, gave me goosebumps. sounds like a mixture of Gladiator and Lord of the Rings.

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Sound clip sounds great, Darth. I like what I am hearing. :)

[darthspielberg]

oddly enough Galdiator's soundtrack was the main inspiration as well as that of LOTR, Hook (1991), and Danny Elfman's music.

More Previews to come.

[darthspielberg]

The New Logo...

[darthspielberg]

http://www.geocities.com/hallwayfilms/forbiddenlogo.jpg

[darthspielberg]

also the site just go a major update with the new logo, a new clip to listen to, and more.

Also i will be announcing a HUGE suprise coming soon, so keep your ears and eyes peeled.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

the soundtrack is sounding good so far. are u going to make it available as well?
the suspense is killing me. what is this huge surprise??? at least a clue

[darthspielberg]

until the big surprise...take a look and see my new video...ON GROUPER! That's right. I am on and all my videos will be going on there as well.

[Nimrandir]

This is all great news Darth! Thanks very much.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

bout time :cool:
now to start downloading

[Nimrandir]

Those soundclips are excellant! Congradulations on your accopmlishment.

[Sparta*]

Hey, Go Darth! You Da MAN!

[darthspielberg]

Thanks, Sparta*

I am glad to hear it...

Glad that you like it, Nim.

[darthspielberg]

MOVIEgoer is on the move...download, baby, download.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

I CANT!! NO!! your not on grouper. hurry up go back on! :omg:

[darthspielberg]

sorry. Oops!

back on!

[Sparta*]

jeeze Darth, what are you trying to pull??? hahah

[darthspielberg]

a clue for the suprise...hmmm...well it might be a bit like my surprise for those who were in on Ring of Friends. JEDI will know what i am talking about, and if he chooses to divulge and tell you, so be it...

[insaneMoViEgoer]

u should increase your upload status so that u dont have to stay on long.....and mainly cuz it'll let me download faster:P

[darthspielberg]

yes. I also remembered i used the wrong video. That was not the one formated for download. It was one for my computer. Well, Did you like it?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

yeah it was cool. it showed alot without giving too much. unlike most trailers these days.

[darthspielberg]

oddly enough, that was my biggest complaint.

"You don't show enough...blah blah blah."

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

oddly enough Galdiator's soundtrack was the main inspiration as well as that of LOTR, Hook (1991), and Danny Elfman's music.

More Previews to come.

Well,whatdaya know? I thought I was the only person who liked the soundtrack to the movie HOOK. Cool, Darth. :)

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

a clue for the suprise...hmmm...well it might be a bit like my surprise for those who were in on Ring of Friends. JEDI will know what i am talking about, and if he chooses to divulge and tell you, so be it...

I don't want to spoil it. :)

Hurry everyone! DOWNLOAD RoF! :)

[insaneMoViEgoer]

i'd love to download it, but its not up yet :( just a teaser trailer for TFW

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Give Darth some more time. It will be worth the wait.

[darthspielberg]

I have to take the time (tonight) to make it a downloadable file. That way you can watch it. Right now it is only a WMM file...a nd we can't have that, can we.

TOMMOROW WILL BE THE BIG PREMIER.

Let me know your time zones so i can try. I am on the east coast and will be online from 11:30is (pm) till whenever. WHen you are downloading turn on your chats so i can update you on when i have to go sleepy-by. :D

[darthspielberg]

YAY, RoF...

[darthspielberg]

The Teaser Poster...

[darthspielberg]

http://www.geocities.com/hallwayfilms/posters

[insaneMoViEgoer]

im in the west coast.

[darthspielberg]

so, at 11:30ish it would be...?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

i'll try and be awake.

[flukeman]

Just caught up with this thread - do I gather you are making RoF downloadable darth? I'd love to see it :)

[darthspielberg]

that's right, fluke...tommrow on Grouper...

[insaneMoViEgoer]

cant wait

[flukeman]

I have no idea what that is darth :)

[insaneMoViEgoer]

if your talking about Grouper (which im guessing you are), its a p2p program like kazaa but more personal. you make a group and invite people to your group and u can share files from your computer. and only people in your group can view/download the files you wish to share.

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Yes and Grouper is safe and secure with no adware. Correct, InaneMOVIEGOER? No one has any reason to worry about stuff being installed on their pc's?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

that is correct. no spyware or adware. just the program

[darthspielberg]

www.grouper.com

[darthspielberg]

Tonight Is The Big Premier...

[insaneMoViEgoer]

edit: nevermind. hehehe :D

[insaneMoViEgoer]

[darthspielberg]

[insaneMoViEgoer]

[insaneMoViEgoer]

hey darth, your not on anymore. everytime i try to send u an IM you go off.

[darthspielberg]

[darthspielberg]

Did it download? Have You Watched it? ARE YOU OKAY!!!!!!!!

*sighs*

[insaneMoViEgoer]

yes it downloaded and have watched it;) i'll try and put up a review later on.

[darthspielberg]

[darthspielberg]

um...i guess he hated it. or something...?

[Nimrandir]

I cannot watch it until I get High Speed Internet.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

sorry bout that. dont worry i didnt hate it ;) im just really lazy to write a review:P i have like the first sentence then i stoped. i'll try and finish it ASAP

[darthspielberg]

just haven't seen you in a week so i was like HUH?

[Freedom]

This Ancanara stuff looks good, so i thought i would RE-bring up my movie that i am making. I want you guys oppinions and i will try and do web updates when we film next month. I am proud to announce...

a Hallway Films presentation of
a Yellow Flower/H2Oentertainment production of
A DONALD HALLENE III FILM
THE FORBIDDEN WORLD

MARCH 2005...FANTASY GETS AN UPGRADE :D

Cool!! You've made your own movie? You know what, I admire you from now on.
A real movie? How old are you?

[darthspielberg]

not "made", mind you, making. We are not finished.

I am 18, as a matter of fact.

Thank for the enthusiasim :)

[Freedom]

Oh okay, making :)
Well you're welcome. Do you send it out on the internet so I can see it when it's finished, or something?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

u can get it on Grouper (http://grouper.com)

[Freedom]

Okay thanks! :D

[Freedom]

Umm what is it? It's some kind of downloading programme right?
Is it illegal?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

its not illegal. its a program where u can share files with your friends. u make a group and whoever is in your group can download files that u wish to share, no one else.

[Freedom]

Umm okay! There's no virus on is there? :)
Will I then have to get darthspielbergs email?

[insaneMoViEgoer]

theres no viruses or anything. just send him a PM with your email and he can add u to the group.

[darthspielberg]

Oh, i am afraid i have bad news about the grouper. I had to get rid of it. The owner of the computer i use believes it to be the cause of some virus that hit out computer. If you want, Insane, you could create a group and pass out what you have and i might hook up on grouper occasionally to giv YOU stuff to redistribute, but my dad will hit hard if i do anything big again.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

no prob. i can do it.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

DOWNLOAD RING OF FRIENDS!!!!
Ring of Freinds (http://d35.yousendit.com/D/1QXMJ5I845FM739RS17ZSNJGSM/rof-redux.wmv) 101035 KB - (dial up users dont even bother :( )
the link will be up for SEVEN 7 VII days and for limited number of downloads. so get it while its hot;)

[darthspielberg]

THANKS, MOVIEGOER! OMG! I posted another link to it in it's own thread, as interest in this thread has died down.

[Nimrandir]

My interest has not died; only my ability to view it is non-existant.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

i'll try to seperate the movie so that dial up users can download it in 3 - 5 parts.

[darthspielberg]

oh, cool.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

if its ok with u.
