[IAdventurer01]

Hi Fran! Welcome to the Raven!

Um, can't seem to see your site yet, working out a few errors with my web-browser. I'm sure its great though, can't wait to see it!

[Canyon]

Hi there Fran. :D

Firstly, I would just like to say Welcome to The Raven!

A while ago I saw your trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dagger of Hell and was very impressed, and I am very much looking forward to seeing more.

BTW, from the trailer, I really liked the guy who played Indy in your movie (Rafa). He looks great! I love what I've seen so far. You guys are awesome! ;)

Kind regards



Canyon

[FranCasanova]

Thanks very much "Canyon and IAdventure01".

What page do you use Iadventure?, if you use YAHOO or GOOGLE I´m sure that you can see my site. I have to say, that for now, my site is in Spanish but I´ll put in english soon,ok?

Canyon, you can see the Introduction of THE DAGGER and a very cool video of OUTTAKES of all my Indy´s shorts. In the same place in where you see the trailer of THE DAGGER.

In this web you can see an interview of my Indy´s fan films and me:

The interview was done by Christopher Moshier.

Thanks both again :)

[FranCasanova]

Hi everybody!

Here you can see and Interview by Christopher Moshier
of my Indy´s shorts an me:

http://www.coolcollecting.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=92

The interview is old, about 2002, but I think it is interesting.

Greetins from Spain!

Fran Casanova.

[Canyon]

Fran, I've just been watching part 1 of the Dagger of Hell film and I'm very impressed.

The editing and direction are amazing and the acting is fantastic.

Rafa as Indiana Jones is terrific. Not only is he wearing really awesome gear, but has very similar mannerisms and its things like the little expressons that Ford gives in the triology that I love.

BTW, when will the next part be available, or is it already?

Admiringly



Canyon

[FranCasanova]

Thanks very much Canyon ;) But you´ll have to wait to see the 2 part, sorry. I continue shooting the next year, the problem is that I only work in the fan films in my holidays and this make slowy the Production. And other thing is Rafa had had a baby recently and he is very busy with his little Indy :) But this Christmas I´ll try to shoot some takes of THE DAGGER and in Easter maybe I have the Opportunity to make more.

Other important thing, I´ll put my oficial site in english soon but now you can see a promotional video of my works in my site. You only have to enter in www.francasanova.com and in the main page, under de text, you see a sentence that say: Descargar video presentación. This is the Link to download the video. I hope tha you like it!!
Thanks again!

If you want to see the shorts you only have to go to the "LIBRARY" (in the main page) and then put my name (Fran Casanova) in the "AUTHOR NAME". Then will appeare all my shorts that you can see.

Enjoy it! :whip:

Fran Casanova :)

[qwerty]

Nice!!!:D
Some parts actualy look realistic enough for the real Indy movie.

[macwizard]

Wow! I can't wait to see all of these movies. Some impressive camera work and action scenes. These are the kinds of punches, rolling, and running that really remind me of Raiders. Your work could definitely be something big.

[FranCasanova]

Thanks "Macwizard" and "qwerty"!

You can see the short films in youtube.com, you only have to write "fran casanova" in the "search",ok?. And if you want to know more about me and my films, go to: www.francasanova.com Watch my Demo Reel!!

Fran Casanova.

[qwerty]

[ClintonHammond]

Great work! Much better than say 98% of the 'fan films' I've seen

Abso-FN-lootely LOVE the closing shot!

Keep up the good work, and how!

[roundshort]

Good to see you back, Fran, hopefully they will hre you for Indy 4, I am sure it would be better that way!

Hi everybody!

I have updated a demo reel of my Indiana Jones Short Films and this is the link to see it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Jh8Tobijc

See you!
Fran Casanova :)

Fran,

You have definitely got the 'eye' for this. More importantly, the 'ear'; and even better, the skill to use them both in a fantastic sense of timing for this kind of medium! That montage is done very well and is very enjoyable to watch!
I have a few questions:

Are you creating the visual effects yourself? Rotoscoping sabers, and the ship turning, etc.?

Second, are you in Mexico, Spain, Portugal? Very, VERY enjoyable STUFF!

[macwizard]

Same here. I wish George Lucas or somebody on the Indy staff would see my Indy music videos and feel me right for part. No matter how small. One can dream can't he?

[FranCasanova]

Thanks a lot Indiana_Tone!

I do the Edition of the image, music and sound but the Visual Effects are making for a friend, although sometimes I help my friend in some effects but he is little "ILM" ;)

I´m From Spain. Where are you from?

Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezyHIgYhKSs

Thanks again!

[FranCasanova]

Yes Macwizard, may be there are someone looking films in Internet... I really hope! :) Hey Mr.Spielberg... I´m here! ;)

Peace!

[Indiana_Tone]

Thanks a lot Indiana_Tone!

Thanks again!

It's great work on the lightsabers. It's not a bad thing to have a mini "ILM" at your disposal. ;)

I'm here in the United States.

[FranCasanova]

Yes, they are very good friends and great profetionals. The technique of the light saber is not difficult but it´s a heavy work because you have to work frame a frame. You only need a lot time to sit in front your computer :p
