What I want to see is what the Star Cinema/Road Runner entry for the Metro Manila Film Fest will be like this year. But may hula ako na it will nowhere be as good as this one.
Kung ganoon, eh para saan ba talaga tong video na to?

nice effects – some suggestions though…

hmm they should add effects on the protagonist such as blazing eyes or flaming hands.

in the huge explosion part, its better to add a shock wave throwing off the choppers out of the sky.

the story isn’t clear

Nice but nothing original. However it’s a good starting point to further enhance the technical aspect of the local entertainment industry.

impressive work!

pero kakayanin ba ng networks ang presyo ng production na ganyan?
if this 4min clip was done in 8 months & w/ a budget like that, i seriously doubt the networks would even consider it… but maybe the advertisers would…

This video was made in 8 months with 20-30 full time people working on it with a budget of 8million, sana lang gumanda siya no. After this short film, name another project that road runner made with the same caliber. Nada.
Madali pagandahin ang self serving na video, pero kung may real world project involved na, with real deadlines and real budgets, dun mo makikita ang totoong galing ng special effects house.

The First Ever Kick-ass Special Effect Produced By Filipinos…

Finally, I’ve seen an awesome kick-ass special effects made and produced by Filipinos. As many of the TV shows and movies in the Philippines have poor and low quality special effects. Sometimes it evens irritates my eyes when I accidentally saw t…

If roadrunner can do it. Why couldn’t the big filming companies here can’t? They mostly put their budget on the actors not on the film itself. In America, they even use low-paid actors but the film is outstanding.

Sa tingin ko, masyadong kumakapit ang isip ng mga tao sa mga artistang walang kwenta namang gumanap at mahal pa ang bayad. (sino ang matapang dito ang matapang na magbabanggit ng mga alang kwentang actors and actresses dito sa pinas) bang, bang, bang… boom, boom, boom

At karamihan ng mga actors ngayon ay puro drama ang hilig. Takot ba silang masugatan sa action movies??

Mainstream productions like Regal or Viva cant do awesome special effects because majority of the money is spent on paying overpaid actors.

As a result the crew are underpaid and the movie itself looks cheap.

the video is very good. World class. It has no story because the point is just to highlight the firm’s fx capabilities. So it is ok considering their objective. If it is going to be shown as part of a movie though, then it needs a little more tweaking and more creativity from a film maker. But technically, it is highly excellent!

Hi nicely done at first Glance you will bot believe that filipino did the movie flick but it amazing that we din his one and coming from Roadrunner never the less another industry miles stone for them. I believe that most of the projects done by roadrunner are really world-class and award winning.
this can is another will an addition for their portfoliio.

“great job you guys, keep it up!”

Bt needs more finesse overall. They should study how stuff actually moves before plnning to simulate them graphically.

Superb! ang galing ng effects… hope that ABS-CBN will hire road runner to re-do their effects in DYOSA (teleserye).

Kick-ass Special Effects Production by Filipinos…

If you been watching some of the recent Pinoy TV shows and movies, you’d notice that most of the special effects aren’t that good, even decent. So this comes as a huge surprise to see something like this (see video after the jump)…”…

uhmm.. yea i was at the relaunch of roadrunner when they showed this. this was suppose to be their relaunching video. The thing is, the stuff u see on TV sucks because of budget and time constraints. it’s not that filipino effects house cant do it. tv stations give sfx shops a day to make the special effects of a tv series that’s going to be shown in the evening. kahit anong galeng mo, di aabot un kase ung effects heavy stuff such as this takes hours, days and even weeks to render.

sid had the luxury of time and wala mashadong budget constraints kase kelangan nila magpasikat to get more ad agencies and directors to use roadrunner ulet (kase for the longest time sila ung pinakalaos na post prod shop). but yea, this is really nice and dapat makita niyo rin ang the making nito. kase sobrang astig. the problem nga lang now is, do the clients have the money and time to create something like this?
