The trailer for House of Flying Squirrels.
If a brain-damaged Mel Brooks, a geek, and CROUCHING TIGER/HIDDEN DRAGON got tossed into a blender, put into an oven and only half-baked, HOUSE OF FLYING SQUIRRELS might be the result. Nods and inferences to a multitude of nerd-tastic shows, games, books and movies abound, as well as multitude of silly martial arts fight scenes.
The entire 1:38:15 project took 9 months to complete, from conception (consisting of each kung fu student designing his/her character - often with as little description as, "My character likes to clean" - through the entire writing process, filming and post-production. With the exception of two people, no one on the team had any acting experience, and the single person responsible for all post production had no training or experience.
Almost all the video was shot against a home-made blue or green screen, and the art of chroma-key -- indeed, the entire art of post-production -- was learned mostly on a trial and error basis using Sony Vegas.
The result of this incredible journey had its world premiere at Martial Artistry (www.martialartistry.com) on 2-9-2013 Chinese New Year's Eve.
