[Erik Rangel]

Nice! I'm got a whole Starship Troopers vibe with the blurred out alien face.

:drool:

Red + PJ + Sci Fi = Awesome.

Jonathan, some questions for you.

Which firmware was this shot with?
How was post handled? Editing system, finishing system, FX?
How were images evaluated on set?

Thanks!

Well the trailer looks great! I'll definitely see this!

But I have some complaints for the Quicktime compressor guy. Is that interlacing artifacts I see? All of the edges in the video look highly aliased.

[edit]Hm..I guess only on some parts.
