I really like this video. Are there more in the series?

 

[V8 Ninja]

Interesting, to say the least. There was also some nice fight choreography that looked like people were actually getting punched/kicked. My best wishes to this series.

[Insert comparison to Doomsday Arcade here]

The fight choreography was pretty good, but there wasn't really anything about the main character. Interested to see where this goes.

Very well choreographed fight scene. =)

 

[ilikefilms]

Thanks, everybody for your nice comments!

 

[ilikefilms]

Thanks, blueglitter! We have plenty of ideas to move the story forward, if given the chance.

Thanks, V8 Ninja!! I know a few people that deal with fight choreography, so we worked hard to map the fight out.

Thanks randommaster! I can understand the comparisons to Doomsday Arcade. I think we have a different approach to it with some cool stuff in store for future episodes, if we can get the funding. Future episodes will also flesh out the character of Arcadia and a sidekick character will be added to the mix.

Thanks, Dak_N_Jaxter! We had fun creating that scene. We hope to have some more fight and action scenes with future installments, if we get the opportunity!

Thanks for the kind words, Cosplay Horatio! You rock!!

If we get to make it into a series, I'll make sure to give a shout out to all who said nice things in the comments. I hope we win, so we can explore the story more and create more cool action scenes.

I agree. Good Job! Your characters knew their scripts. No stalling or uncomfortable moments. You did good on special effects, and having an original idea. You kicked ass on this one!

Thanks, mm2publish! That's awesome of you to say! I hope we can continue the adventures of Arcadia for future episodes. You're very kind.

See I have a problem with that statement. The show has the same premise as Doomsday Arcade, but the humor, acting, camera work, editing, ect. are different.

That's like saying that Die Hard is the same as Super Mario Brothers because there both about A guy rescuing his girl.

gwow really awesome

(gwow a wow but a much better wow)

 

[greenflash]

were would you like your Like Doomsday Arcade But Stamp?
but really that was good and had a good fight and i find the basic story good yet unoriginal.

 

[BrianX]

Awesome fight scene and well acted throughout. It will be very interesting to see where you guys take the main character next! Some more back-story on the main character would be awesome and help viewers to grow more attached to her and care about her more. Other-wise, ya got my vote!

Good point. I actually never saw an episode of DA until after we started post production. It has similarities but is a different approach. DA is more in the vein of Edgar Wright movies like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz and I consider this to be more in the vein of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Tomb Raider. Thanks for your insight.

I like your "much better wow" and will start using it in public. Thanks for compliment. Glad you liked it.
