Top 5 Vuze Films

As you see, I am always looking for the next greatest thing out there to help spread the love for all talented Independent filmmakers. As a filmmaker myself, I understand the importance to get your work out there and be seen by others, especially with great sites like www.vuze.com to share your work. I have found and published quite a few short works out there and now its time to pick my top 5 favorites in order. This poll is for debate so please feel free to chime in and disagree, and who knows, if you pose a valid point, I will change the name of this post to Top 10 Vuze Films.

1. The Silent City - By Ruairi Robinson

This is by far my favorite film I posted to Vuze. The visuals are amazing and you could see this film on the big screen any day of the week and not question its integrity. It is very well done and quite complicated technically which screams production value all over the screen. Oh, and the story kicks ass too! Also, (and i'm not spreading rumors) but i heard that Ruairi Robinson is going to MAYBE be making his big screen debut with the a Live action Akira film. Here is the link to the article i read; http://www.movieweb.com/news/60/23960.php
Ruairi is also a RED reservation holder so congratulations to him and his accomplishments.

2. Batman Dead End - By Sandy Collora

What can I say? Just a kick ass fan film putting Batman up against Joker, Alien and Predator in one short film only 8 minutes long. If you are a fan of the Dark Knight books, and a Batman Fan you will love this film.

3. RVD2 - By Michael Scott and Ryan Wieber

These guys deserve the recognition they received for making a better lightsaber battle than in any of the real Star Wars films. What i really appreciate about this film is the attention to detail and how they used their success from RVD1 to generate enough income to get a professional soundtrack made for the sequal. Great fun and if you like Star Wars you will love this short film.

4. A Lonely Sky - By Nick Ryan

What i really enjoy about this film is the seamless integration of VIsual Effects to tell a dramatic story. Great overall storytelling and although I personally feel the acting could have been slightly more on point, the film works great. Check out the behind the scenes to see the making of this film.


5. Pyrats - By Yves Bigerel, Bruno Dequier, Ben Fiquet, Nicolas Gueroux, Jullen Le Rolland

Okay, this may be animated and very short running time but there is no doubt in my mind that the talent that created this film could be making the next disney/pixar film. Great framing, animation and concept design is what eventually ends up on screen. Check out all the making of videos individually to see how they created each character and the sets. Remember, this was an animation made by a group of talented artists at the Gobelins l'ecole de I'image animation school. Fantastic work!

So thats all folks, my top 5 picks for today! I'm sure some of you would beg to disagree and I encourage that whole heartedly. Who know's, your pick could end up here, if you can make a valid argument that is! Tommorrow, we will be talking RED!
