I recently made a 5 minute tv pilot called 'Nintendo Eats Steve' for channel101.com. You can watch it and read about it here:

It's being featured in Reject-palloza! lol.

Download in progress... only about 1/3 of the way there so far. But looking forward to viewing it. I'll post about sometime tonight. Might be way later though cause I have Deadwood and Carnivale to watch in 20 minutes.

Thanks for linking us to some other work. If it's anywhere near as good as your videos it will be a glory to watch.

Okay, I watched your video just before Deadwood and Carnivale, so it's been a few hours since intitial viewing, but it's still fairly fresh on the brain.

Very nice work. Extemely well paced. I also enjoyed the effects. I thought those were done very well. Not just the gun blasts, but when a character was hit by a gun blast how they changed color, without the whole shot changing color. Nicely done.

Questions I have many... What program do you edit with Enchirito? Did you guys do your own music for that or was it borrowed from something? Did you have a part in the video? How long did it take you to shoot? And then along those lines, how much total footage did you have to edit through to get down to the four minute video it ended up being?

I enjoyed it though. Created a very nice feeling of nostalgia for those of us old enough to remember the world of 8bit gaming and beyond. When can we expect NES: Tetris or NES: Zelda? LOL. I could go on and on with a list of possible sequels or spin-offs.

LMAO that was so awesome! And to think I thought wighunter was good- this was even funnier! LOL
The best effect was that awesome "through the keyhole" camera thing. it really looked good. I don't know what they're talking about in that other forum, there's PLENTY of paths to take for a sequel. I'd love to see a duck hunt, or super mario thing LOL
ah memories....

Thanks guys! Glad you liked it. We had a lot of cool ideas for more episodes (Castlevania, Legend of Zelda...) but we're working on other shows right now.

To answer some questions...

Ulead Media Studio Pro (I don't particularly recomend it but it works well enough)

Music was borrowed from The Advantage and NESkimos both of which have free music on their web sites. Get some if you like!

Yes, I am the BOSS and the old man. My brother is Steve.

Took most of one day to shoot the in-game sequence. Then 2 other nights to shoot the crappy, dark, grainy, in-house footage. I think we had almost an hour or so of footage.

soooo.
Thanks for liking it, but now could you tell me what we could improve? It will help us on future projects! Come on, I know you have a lot of practice!

I'll have to watch it again when I get on my PC. On my laptop right now watching Jeapordy. Yep, I'm a dork.

But after I watch again I'll see what I can come up with.

Enchirito I know you and your brothers all make this (i'm guessing), but i wanted to know who plans the shots? The effects were great-and i enjoyed this one more than wigmaster plotwise. The shots in this were incredible--loved the key hole shot done after "10 minutes later." The editing was great-it kept moving from start to finish with no lulls. Anyways good job on this, and goodluck with the channel 101 nazi people-l

Thanks for writing that novella! It's just what I needed.

The HUD effects were way harder to do than we thought they would be. I think our next films will have fewer effects since they take sooo much time to do and in the end they don't do much compared to a solid story.

haha. You're right, the old man did look 'not good'. We didn't know if the bald/beard thing would work when we filmed it and it turned out not as good as we wanted. Also, we kind of made up the ending after we filmed it so the whole ending scene looks pretty bad I think.

FOr our next show we hope to get a few new people involved and actually write the whole thing before we start filming it. Maybe that will help, or maybe it will just be a waste of time. lol. Either way you can be sure I'll post it here for you to see.
