The scene where the camera pans through the jungle still blows me away. Beautiful.

Aaron Haynes · 06-06-2008, 10:55 PM

There but for the grace of v3dmm not coming out soon enough.

Fredrick · 11:43 PM

I can't help but feel that this always was a bit too ambitious for it's own good. I haven't read the novel myself, but from the look of it, it doesn't seem like a novel that would easily translate into a 3DMM film. To be fair, I guess few novels would. Nonetheless it would be interesting to see where Andres would have gone with this if it hadn't been unfinished.

Andres · 06-07-2008, 06:08 AM

It's a very straightforward novel and easily adaptable to 3dmm. The problem with something like this is it's always going to be long, and I wanted it to be very moody, which meant elaborate shit like what you saw here.

While I liked all the stuff I did, I wonder how the actual movie would have turned out, simply because I was what, 16 years old? I don't think I would have been able to add much insight into the themes.

As you said, probably too ambitious. I was going for some "camera" "use" that was really out there. I'm actually kinda shocked at how well it turned out considering at the time I wasn't incredibly well versed in real movies. Oh well.

i hated this book

Aaron Haynes · 06-07-2008, 06:31 AM

That says a lot about you and nothing about the book.

Nokes · 06-07-2008, 06:34 AM

Bown · 06-07-2008, 06:41 AM

In your defense, I suppose, you are 15.

I'll allow that it isn't very subtle, and the scenario is a little convenient for Golding to emphasize his point, but somehow I don't think that's where your problems with it come from.

Slime · 06-08-2008, 01:43 AM

I liked this book, probably my favorite of the books I was forced to read.

This movie certainly must be much better than the 3 screenshots up top make it look.

Hey guys sorry for bump but can someone youtube this? I just finished re-reading Andres' manifesto and im kinda curious as to how this turned out.

Nokes · 10-13-2009, 10:32 PM

I would love to know Piggy's real name

Rman · 10-13-2009, 11:43 PM

piggy

Ben Rice · 10-14-2009, 12:38 AM

It's a massive shame this was never finished. Some shots in this are still spectacular.

Gorosaurus · 10-14-2009, 01:38 AM

Well, it's relatively easy to think of 3 or 4 really great shots

The impressive thing would be not burning yourself or boring yourself after that

Santiago · 10-14-2009, 03:26 AM

Duuuude I wanna watch this.

Mabdog · 10-14-2009, 03:56 AM

me too. I miss having 3dmm.

Pizza The Hut · 10-14-2009, 05:35 AM

This was seriously the best thing ever.

Allergic 2 Life · 10-14-2009, 05:40 AM

i installed 3dmm today to watch old movies.

Santiago · 10-14-2009, 06:36 AM
