There's also another German one, Last Team Standing. Don't have the link at the moment.
Hey, here's a link to a Polish (?I think?) site that has links to a whole bunch of Shadowrun videos: LINK As an aside, are there any other word pairs like Polish/polish that change meaning and pronunciation just from the capitalization? |

Thanks. In English, the word "Polish" uses the long 'o' and refers to things from Poland. The word "polish" uses the short 'o' and refers to making something clean and shiny. The only time I can think of when there might be confusion is when "polish" is at the start of a sentence, and the context can be read both ways. For example "Polish shoes." This could be a command to clean some footwear or a recognition that the footwear comes from Poland.
Yeah... this has lots to do with Shadowrun. |

Poles polish Polish poles.
Halo has a fan film project. SR is probably easier - take a video camera to Shanghai during the wet season and your half done, a bit like the movie "Push". |

As was said, Shadowrun doesn't need a lot of CGI in any shape. Trolls, orks and elves can be done with standard prostethics and makeup, while the magic can easily be done with standard special effects. Fire, wind, water, earth shaking, even levitation can be done with properly arranged camera tricks and no CGI. Break a wall, easy enough. Even things like spirits and astral vision can be done with film tricks like ghosting or fish eye lenses to give it a different feel.
Decking, there are three ways I can see to do it that will not require any CGI. First, there was a show 'Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad', which was basically Power Rangers inside Computers. What they did was had a set that looked like a circuit board and had a guy in a superhero outfit and a guy in a monster outfit battle it out. Another example of this is Tron. Just get a room, or a couple rooms, dress them up for the look you want, and you're good to go. Andromeda did a similar example of this, though it did use some flashy CGI special effects, but you could do the same with filming work. Second, make it like the Metaverse from Snow Crash. You need to go somewhere, you're physically going there. It could be passed off as a 'reality filter', just add some extra special effects like changed costumes for example, but otherwise, the real world and the matrix world look alike, just slightly different. Granted, these are more of an SR3 style of Matrix to an SR4 style. I don't know much of SR4 to really say a lot about it, but I don't see why we couldn't do the SR3 stuff. Third, use some of the technology we have today, and adapt it. A couple iphones, perhaps, or a tablet to be used as a cyberdeck/commlink, and have some software running on it like the Hacking simulator games they've already got for iphone. Click this then that and then boom, you're in. |

SR4 AR could be done via picture in picture, by basically putting the output of a computer onto the video in some semi-transparent way.

About CGI... I know nothing about it, but these films were made by non-professionals with use of normal PC's (and it was a few years ago - 2000 and 2002). So maybe it's not so difficult and expensive?

Shadowrun in the style of an 80's cartoon, like Bionic Six, or the Batman Animated Series. Or Batman of the Future.
MAYBE Anime-Style, but i'd prefer Western Animation to be honest . . Maybe like the new Iron Man Anime? |
