brilliant. nice way to finish. i chuckled at the stock footage of the students. "Why did we want him back again?" lol
Great job with the overall thing. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Whats next?
The classroom scene originally took place after the Barnett Museum scene in Chapter 2 (back then there were no chapters). After Indy falls down drunk and Hamlin walks over him to leave, Jock and Deirdre come to help Indy up, and Deirdre says something about him not being able to teach tomorrow...then it cut to Indy at the chalkboard teaching his class. During the end of class, Indy sees someone looking into the window, and he gets nervous. After class, Indy walks to the window to see who it was, and Henry Sr. comes up behind him. Henry then tells Indy that he was contacted by Stych to translate a map, but he couldn't do it. So Henry took it upon himself to set up a meeting between Indy and Stych at the airfield.
I decided to cut Henry's part out because my "beard" looked really fake (half falling off the whole time). And we really didn't have an ending for the movie...after the earthquake, Indy just fell to the ground and said that he couldn't wait to get back to his day job. So I added the explosion and moved the classroom to the end. Found the stock class footage and redid the entire ending. It looks a little silly, but it's better than no ending at all.
Glad you enjoyed the film, mj.
Well...I think getting married 3 years ago might have stopped my movie making. Not sure how my wife would feel about me getting dressed up and "playing" in the woods. lol
Oh well, you never know...
I actually do have a sequel filmed, called Indiana Jones and the Light of Eternity...but it was filmed before this one (when I was just in high school).
Spirit of the People was actually a prequel (ala Temple of Doom).
And it's bad, really bad.
The story is about a sacred candle that the Nazi's are trying to find. Once the candle is found, it has to be lit with the Flame of Eternity. Whoever lights the candle with the flame will be all powerful...or something like that...I don't exactly remember.
I do play Henry Jones, Sr. in the film though...it might be worth re-editing just to see me with a fake beard made of Christmas decorating snow. lol The beard actually looked good during the film...Henry's actually the sidekick during the whole film.
Actually thinking about it again, the film wasn't TOO bad...it might just be in need of some fine tuning...stay tuned ya' never know!
