Youtube clip wins movie deal!

Wow! It's pretty amazing what happened to this guy just from posting a youtuve video. I kind of tripped out because I had a nightmare very similar to this video a few months ago and watching it gave me the heebie jeebies all over again! eek

good job, Fede!!!

from: http://www.newser.com/sto...mpaign=med

A Uruguayan man who spent $300 creating a YouTube video called Panic Attack! has been offered a $30 million contract to make a Hollywood film. "I uploaded on a Thursday and on Monday my inbox was totally full of e-mails from Hollywood studios," the creator tells the BBC. "It was amazing, we were all shocked."

The clip, which features giant robots invading Montevideo, the Uruguayan capital, has already garnered 1.5 million views on YouTube. Now, with help from the production company of Spider-Man director Sam Raimi, the creator, Fede Alvarez, will transform the 5-minute short into a sci-fi flick shot in Argentina and Uruguay. The feature will have a revamped storyline, Alvarez said.

The visuals are stunning for 300 bucks.

I have to say again, I dreamed this isht like 3 months ago where these giant robots were coming down the driveway in our condo complex! Now I can't stop watching this damn video! lol

Unfortunately for me I'm not a film maker...looks like I missed out on 30 mil. lol

Oh yeah, I saw CNN reporting that yesterday. Point 3:28 in the video was amazing. That guy is extremely talented. That was better than the special effects in the movie "2012".

NEW IDEAS? come on! Giant robots attacking a city is not new. It was well done, but not original. And Like I said above, I do not believe the story at all. I think the media got duped.

Here you come from the left field of west hell as usual, lol I said open to new people and ideas GOING FORWARD, meaning people outside of hollywood's inner circle, not robots. Whether you believe it or not is of no consequence since I'm not trying to convince you of anything.

Pay attention.

So basically he owns the equipment, did the effects himself or got a TON of free work from everyone involved. Impressive though, looks good!

so should i ignore you or pay attention?

besides you did say go forward with new people and ideas...so I assumed based on the rules of grammar that the new modified both the people and ideas. But I guess I see what you mean, that, even if it is a over used idea that it is still worth seeing. I liked it okay, and I would watch it at some point if it was a movie.
