A short film about pirates... and PUPPETS!

[Ali]

My friends and me recently entered a contest where you have to make a film in 48 hours. We were given the theme 'Ambition', so we made 'Swashbuckle your Seatbelts'.

Out of 27 or so entries we came joint 3rd. We were surprised at that really, it's immensely shoddy.

We had huge fun making it though. The mp4 is just over 40 megs to download, but I believe you can get it podcast. I don't know how that works though.

Let me know what those of you who have the time to watch it think.

Sounds cool I wanna watch But you can't you do a different format like wmv or something? There is something wrong with my mp4 codecs that play the audio and video completely out of sync

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it working.

.mp4 works just fine in Quicktime

Ci, would love to see a wmv version Sounds like fun, Ali!

You and your pirates  :

That was incredible, Ali. What an awesome film.

[edmundito]

Yar! that be an awesome movie! 

You guys might consider it putting up on youtube/google video for the whole world to see!

[Ali]

Thanks for the feedback guys. Currently it's hosted by the contest organisers, we should have an alternative version up and running soon, spreading piratey glee across the web.

I don't know what youtube or google video is. How might one submit one's pirate opus?

[tearful] I graciously accept. I'd like to thank Tim, and Jim and whoever invented eyepatches... [/tearful]

Check it out, they're place where people can submit their videos and watch others videos as well, as long as it's not pornography or the most recent episode of your favorite tv show:

http://video.google.com/

The cool thing is that people can rate your videos, and also most importatly is that it uses flash to play the videos, so they're both fast! (and you don't need to convert anything...)

I really enjoyed it.

But then, what's not to like about sock puppet pirates?

Funny and nicely made.

[voh]

Fucking brilliant! I'm going to show this to my friends, we're all pirate wannabees
