Hmmm, that sucks.

So...There seems to be a problem with the trailer and teaser on YouTube. In short, they're %^&$ed up. I don't know what YouTube has against David. Perhaps YouTube is a communist or maybe it just doesn't like the .h264 codec. Either way, we (as in me) are working hard to fix the problem. The trailer isn't messed up so bad since it only gets weird around the end. But the Teaser just loses all of the "punch". What a bother.

They're here!!!!!!

Here they are ladies and gentlemen, the teaser and trailer to DAVID HAMMERFIST HAMMERFISTS OF FURY!

Enjoy!




I know, I know, not much animation in there eh? Try this trailer on for size...



How's that? Excited? You should be! Now go tell your friends! Remember, you can now access this blog at www.davidhammerfist.com or www.HammerfistProductions.com

Stay tuned!

Comic Con trailers and more....

So JJ and I were at Comic-con this weekend promoting Hammerfist and it was TONS of fun! We Met a lot of cool people and we saw a lot of bad cosplayers.

While I know this might be a shorter post than you guys would want, let me just reassusre you that wheels are still moving. In fact, they are moving so well that we will have not one, but TWO trailers for you all to see! That's right, we will be posting ACTUAL ANIMATION from David Hammerfist: Hamerfists of Fury tomorrow!

Why not right now?

Well, the .mov files that we burned to our DVDs are on other computers in the Loyola Marymount animation lab and I am opting to use those master files rather than just rip it from our DVDs. Actually, given the time of this post, you are probably reading this post AFTER reading the post that I will post within the next 12 hours. Confused yet? DON'T BE! All you need to do right now is be psyched as hell for this short. I know that we have been really quiet as of late, but that is going to change very soon.

I would also like to announce that this blog is now accessible through the domain names www.hammerfistproductions.com and www.DavidHammerfist.com Right now it just redirects you here but, like I said, things will be changing soon...

I'll be back later with some moving pictures.

Heh...

...yeah.... so about that last media update....

We've all been "busy" with non-Hammerfist stuff. Matt had a birthday while I've been living in movie theaters seeing "the Dark Knight." Cant forget watching "Venture Bros" every week. But anyway, the film is done, so I guess there won't be any super cool updates except for behind the scenes photos n stuff. Speaking of which...

I really will post production pictures soon! I just found some more, making the total like, five! Also, expect a trailer soon! You know it'll be done because Matt and I plan to hand them out at Comic Con to people we meet! I just finished pass one of the trailer and I'm waiting for Matt's notes on it.

Now, onto festival talk. We'll be shipping off to Sundance and Slamdance in the next few days, so we're crossing our fingers! There are a number of other festivals that we'll be looking at, but those are priority one right now.

In sadder news, we were rejected from Telluride. They wouldn't specify, but I'm sure the fact that we sent off 2 days before the deadline for rolling admissions didn't help our chances...

In other news, we've got some fan are that I'll let Matt deal with on his next post, since he had a great idea of how to post it. It's pretty hot and sexy.

Anyhoo, glad some people still read the blog, and hopefully we'll be updating with some exciting news! Until next time...

Not a whole lot to say...

Hey kids!

Not much to say right now. Matt and I are enjoying summer, even though we still need to change a fade-to-white to a fade-to-black. But once we do that, FINISHED. FOR GOOD.

Also, we've sent "Hammerfist" to our first film festival! I have no idea when we'll hear back, but rest DAMN assured that you chaps will be the first to know! You'll know before we know. We gave them the password to the blog and told them to post our acceptance. God I hope they dont post porn....

I'm rounding up a few behind the scenes pics right now, and I'll be sure to post them on Saturday. MY GOD! A MEDIA UPDATE!! WOO!

Until next time my young vikings!

New Logo

Oh my god that is hot.

So JJ and I are compiling what will be for lack of a better term, the "festival cut" of HoF. It's not really going to change between now and...well....ever. I hope that we can cobble together a trailer soon.

One thing all of you can look forward to is seeing both JJ and I at Comic-con. No, we don't have a booth, but we'll be around so drop us a line of you want to talk with us and maybe if you're REALLY REALLY nice we'll show you some Hammerfist stuff....maybe.

Anyway, I'm going to try and update this page as much as possible, but for the foreseeable future there will not be much going on here. But by no means though are we done yet.

-Matthew & JJ

Update time!

Well, not much of an update. We're in this really obnoxious phase where we think we're done, but then we watch through the film and notice "Damn! David's hand isn't colored in frame 23 of seq03_scn21." So, we go to fix it, watch it again, and notice ten more things.

So, I guess I'll tell you about my day. I went to the premiere of a movie I interned on, and it was awesome. I then watched the season premiere of my favorite show ever, "The Venture Bros." It was amazing.

Oh! I've also been doodling some versions of David and Steve in different style, in preparation for my portfolio. Yes my friends, I plan to get a job one day... Anyhoo, if Matt approves, maybe those'll show up next week, since there's not much media-wise to post....

Tomorrow we have a meeting with Kathleen McInnis. She's the festival coordinator at LMU, and she's going to give us some advice about festivals. Hopefully, if the film's as sexy as everyone says it is, we'll be coming to a town near you! Assuming of course that there's a film festival in your town....

Anyway, I'm just procrastinating sleep at this point. Thanks for checking the blog, I hope I've held you over until we've got some juicy stuff! Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have some festival info!

-JJ

PS. I still feel wrong that we let a 3 1/2 year old watch "Hammerfists of Fury." It's really gorey....
