Hi All, though you might be interested in a film we made for the DVMission 48 hour film competition in Portsmouth UK this year.
The rules are 2 minutes maximum, no copyright violations, and the inclusion of 3 obstructions announced at the start of 48 hours which were:
Title: The Pepperdine Method
Genre: Creature Feature
Line of Dialogue: "I've got 99 problems!"
I'm working on a non 48 hours "director's cut" with HD quality, slightly better sound mix and colour correction, better compositing and getting rid of the string in the final scene. If so I'll post that here too.
Update: Here's the "Director's" cut. http://vimeo.com/52006764.

Thanks -- my thinking was that the tail, the claw and the mad scientist laugh were cheesy/B-Movie enough, that the string would be over-kill. We always meant to remove it but I couldn't (and still can't) get rotoscoping and composite transition to play nice together.
