Description:
Awarded "Best Effects" at the Jakechief Awards 2010. Selected for screening at the 2011 MachinExpo.
Here's my latest live action film. Initially I had a few scenes where Dulci hosted a home improvement show, but while editing, these scenes took away from the pacing of the overall piece. So they ended up on the cutting room floor (or recycle bin as the case may be). However, I still greatly appreciate her contribution to this film, and shout out a huge thanks to her last-minute help with yet another one of my projects.
I had fun with this one, and just as with my animated films, I learned a lot. I plan on making another live action movie soon, and have already started outlining the story and started some preliminary storyboards. I'll also get a better camera (I borrowed a friend's old analog Hi8 camera for this one since my DV camcorder broke). Hopefully it'll make a difference.
Thanks for viewing my latest. I hope you enjoyed it!
«Oh, I just love your sense of humor!
Great work!
Nice Machinima!
And of course great FX!»
«You maniacs! You blew it all up!
Excellent work, my man - truly excellent work.»
«Sooooo... your the reason I have all those flying saucers in my backyard.
»
Well done on the special effects. Cheers
«WOW I really really liked this. There were some great shots in this, and you definitely earned the Best Effect award. Well done
»
«Nice editing. I ddn't expect aliens form The Movies to be there. Cool can't wait for another live action movie.
»
«The effects were also spectacularly blended, and I loved seeing the green screen shots in the end
»
«I love this one!
Great integration of TM and live action.»
«That was amazing. This is now probably one of my favorite movies on this site. Great concept, great execution, and you made me laugh. 5/5»
«Excellent. You really have the knack for this and the interaction between the animated characters and the real life one and scenes was amazing. Also the special effects. The whole story moved very fast and held my interest.»
«WOW! i enjoyed this movie a lot! You have a very unique ability on this website and you take movies to the highest possible level. Well done!»
«Haha Joseph even though I could see the ending coming from the other side of the galaxy,the presentation was top-notch.
The pacing was right on and the effects were nicely interspersed within the live-action...really very well done:-)
You make a good b-movie actor no doubt haha>>>that's meant as a compliment lol:-D
No worries about the Hi8 cam.In a way maybe it gives the flick a more 'classic' look by not being so 'crisp' looking.
Nice 80's style 7-Eleven 3D glasses by the way haha:-D

«Great Lil Story!! I do have one question WHERE DID YOU FIND A SUPER SCOPE???? havent seen one of those in... never mind! over all a great film. nice angels and camera work! music was pretty good and fit the mood really well. Would have loved to see this at the premire.»
«Ah ! A better ending. Lol. Great movie Josephkwong !»
«Duddddddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeee that was sweet, i feel like you set the bar higher even with you Live Action films. This was a a dope use of green screen and finally I found a movie integrated with The Movies. Thing was the budget for this movie probably didnt past $20, and use major techs.
I love your voice overs (in your live action) because (im not sure) they're dubbed in so it's hilarious when anyone speaks.
To not give this 5 stars, then i realize all the blood in my brain has drained my head. Dope Chives dude.»
«That was cool Joseph!! I like the live action with the movies fx.
Good job Joseph till next time,
That was a good idea
Peace out and Rock on!!

«That was great Joseph..
Well done!»
«ha ha ha, that was really funny
))) I enjoyed very much

«Amazingly well executed. I absolutely loved it your acting was superb and Shannon has a great comic flair. I watched this ove on YouTube before the TMU release and just watched it a couple of more times here. Once was for pure enjoyment and another viewing to appreciate the technical and composition aspects. The green screeen "reveals" at the end were great!»
«LOVE IT!!! Incredible blending of live-action and in-game animation, but what I loved even more (if possible) is your facial expressions. Your wife just slays as well. And that twist at the end is just hilarious! I am totally gobsmacked at the total ease at which you pulled this off, and I'm definitely looking forward to your next live-action video!

«Extremely cool stuff Joseph, I loved it. Great blending of live action, special fx and the Movies, it was pretty much seamless throughout, which is not an easy thing to do. Your effects work was particularly impressive in this, especially all the explosions and dust clouds as the shots hit the walls. It was really cool. Looking forward to seeing the next one lol
***** - 5 stars»
«really good job of blending 3d into the real world, ive rented alot of new movies that the CG wasnt even blended in as good as this....
good work»
«So that's how it's all gonna end.....
Great work!»
«Oooooooh.,.. your wife just kills me in this movie!!!!! This was such fun and I have to applaude you for being innovative with model usage, and greenscreening, utilizing TM.... etc. The music was very well selected. The visuals were all such great fun! Way to go, Joseph!

«As always, you push the boundaries of "What if..." and create genuine cinema. Brilliant!»
«Awesome work Joseph! That was a real treat, I hope to see more stuff like this!»
«You did a fantastic job here Joseph. I can really appreciate the work you did here, as its not easy shooting live-action and on top of that you had a lot of FX.
It certainly was a treat seeing The Movies integrated into the footage and you certainly made it look good!
My favorite line "War...hell yea...give me some action". haha. Loved it!»
«I had a lot of fun watching that Joseph, really well made, funny and clever. You Rock!»
«Proof that violence in video games are not a bad thing, huh?
»
«That was awesome Joseph.
Great job of bring the movies in to real footage.
Very good green screening work.»
«Ohhhh.. I was stunned by your visuals, JKW !!
Superb combined with TM characters and real footages !!
I really, really enjoyed it.
»
«Wow! That was gggreat!! So funny and ingenious. Incredible. This really deserves to be a viral YouTube hit!
Nice job starting an intergalactic war too, Joseph. »
«Great stuff Joseph! Cool idea, well executed all around. Its obvious you had a blast making this. Very cool using TM and live action. Loved Shannon's little giggle at the end. lol»
«Funny as hell and visually stunning. dude the chroma word is just awesome. the shots flowed so well i was loosing the feel of the whole tm animations and getting right in there with the action..brilliant!!»
«Fantastic.
Your talents continue to grow and grow with each and every movie you make.
Here, a brilliant bit of CK work and a green blanket have shown the rest of us what it's all about.
Low on budget, but DEFINITELY NOT on entertainment!
Truly a star, my friend.»
«Absolutely brilliant. Another JKW Classic! Dial for your Life showed to us that you were a martial arts hero, but now in this you prove that you are an action hero like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jean Claude Van Damme.... not quite Steven Seagal though
... There was some brilliant chroma-keying too, the joy of this film is the blending of The Movies and Live action, I noticed the different animations you used and it was really fun to recognize and enjoy the different techniques. Some very nice effects as well, along with some nice acting and camera work. Overall a excellent job Joseph!
★★★★★ - 5 Stars

«Heheh nice little movie. Great effects. Nice job with greenscreen.
Love her face the first time you look up.

«Thanks for the comments!
Regarding the echoing VO's, I deliberately put the echo in them to make them sound less like VO's which I put in after (the original VO's were TOO echoey and faint).
The moral of the story is...wage war responsibly. »
«This was indeed your best live action film since the last one. On a tech standpoint it looked very good and smooth. I kept looking for the moral in the story though.»
«Great fun Joseph - you're the master of chromakeying! »
«Wow now why didn't i get guns like that with my console!
Great short Mr KW.

Lets just hope that 'First Contact' dosn't happen in your back yard.
«Nice video. I love the integration of TM and live action. Nice job.»
«Excellent work here, Joseph, very funny. Brilliant mix of live action and machinima footage. Great job.
5/5»
«Another instant JKW classic!
Wasnt expecting that.
Nice use of the Team X theme too, lol.
How cool is GP?»
«Visually excellent. Audio (the vos) was a bit echoey and a bit too obviously dubbed though that added to the "Im watching an Swartzeneggar flick in a foriegn land" kind of vibe. Still, the camerawork, editing and vision are superb. And your acting was quite amusing. Who was the hottie (no. not you jk)? Really enjoyed it.»
