My thesis film

[BYWInsaniac]

Hey guys!

hammerfistproductions.blogspot.com

That's the website for the production blog that follows the making of my Senior Thesis film!

I'm a senior at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, CA, and I've been working on this film since July.

July - August were writing months, September - December were storyboarding months, and December - today I've been working on animation with my partner, Matt Mahoney.

Matt's great. We're totally on the same page on EVERYTHING, except certain old cartoons... Hahaha.

Anyway, we'll be premiering our film at the senior thesis screening on May 7th, but the film's due two weeks from today, April 17th. That said, there's no video on the site, but there's plenty of pictures to wet your tongue!

Hope you all enjoy! The film's called "David Hammerfist: Hammerfists of Fury," and we plan to pitch it as a TV show.

What is it about?

Are they just doing this one film or are they taking on other projects as well? *stares with hopeful look in eyes*

hey guys, thanks for the kind words!

The film's about David Hammerfist, all American tile salesman, and his quest to stop the recently disgraced Senator Joseph McCarthy, who has kidnapped the president with the help of democracy's greatest villain, the Soviet Union.

It should run about 8 minutes, and it's mostly designed to be a ton of fun. The story's kinda thin, but I'm hoping that the characters come across as strongly as I think they will.

Right now we're just doing this one project. We've got the story for a follow-up that we'll hopefully be doing as a comic book, since an animated production is just waaay too much work. We've literally been working on these 8 minutes since July '07!

Anyway, check the blog every Sunday, cause we usually update on Saturday night/sunday morning with cool pics, etc!

The animation look really cool. I liked the hand to hand fighting. When he was pushed backwards on his face by the other guy.

[BYWInsaniac]

Heh, that was the hardest shot in the film :-D

Took two days to animate.

I'm trying to figure out a way to show the actual film to you guys, but the big issue is that posting it anywhere online kills festival eligibility immediately for most major festivals. So, I obviously cant do things the easy way! Hahaha
