diego arredondo
the director of 'heel' and 'tequila chamuco', talks about re-making rocky, employing the gas man and what makes you feel like a filmmaker…
see diego’s selection.
the first time i saw it amazed me. i was really entertained by the technique they used.
it's really magical. there is a lot of work there, good preproduction which is excellent for a straight 8 film.
I really like this one.
scrap paper
andrew jive, 2008
this film really tricked me, and thats what i like to see in a straight 8 film. to use the limitations or the rules of straight 8 in a
very clever and crazy way. there comes a point in the film where you loose count of the cars and you start thinking some one is really fucking with my head.
that's when the soundtrack kicks in. this one is my favourite.
deja vu
sandalz, 2005
i love video games so i thought it would be cool to challenge myself and do something interesting within the straight 8 rules.
it was all done in stop-motion, we had two layers of animations- the power bars and the time, the in-camera effects, and the actors/wrestlers had to move like clay motion dolls.
