LuckyXIII Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ten years ago, a year after college graduation, I went for broke and made a feature-length film. It's called Death By Ninja and is a parody/homage to anime and action flicks and video games and the like. My dream is to produce features for a living. It has a 55 minute runtime and one review, so far: Impressive. Your production values are terrible, but it looks like you and your team embraced it instead of avoiding it, thus making it your greatest strength (and greatest source of entertainment). I promise that is a compliment. Swear. - M.Wiseman So, here's the YouTube link if you're interested: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Williamson Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 This was so bad, it was good. Did you spend 10 years on it or did you do it in '03? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyXIII Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Ha - thanks. It was just made in '03 and I made copies on VHS for the cast, but I didn't have the wherewithal to get it online anywhere at the time, nor on DVD. Some of the cast have expressed interest in a sequel, but seeing as most of us have been cast to the four winds, that'd be all but impossible. However, we may try a Flash series or something...

Garrett Williamson Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Ok I've seen about 10 minutes of footage but the overdubs are hilarious. You seen Kung-Pow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyXIII Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Oh yes. Kung Pow definitely is a significant influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Williamson Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Oh yes. Kung Pow definitely is a significant influence. I can tell. And Kung-Pow is another one of those crappy comedies that was absolutely amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyXIII Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 @Gollgagh - crazy! I visited there over Christmas break - it was cool seeing how some things have changed and some haven't. Mendenhall is a LOT nicer now... Freshman year I was in Scott Hall then my last three were in Slay/Umstead - I was an RA in Umstead. Do you know when the Sonic Plaza stopped being sonic? @Level99 - thanks, man! Glad you liked it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyXIII Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Thread bump with link to first review: http://flowersflix.com/?p=4514 Excerpt: Every once in a while a movie comes along that completely redefines a genre. Death by Ninja is such a movie. It was Scott Pilgrim vs. The World before… well… Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. It exhibits a knowing nostalgia for all things video game related, but there are also nods to Indiana Jones and a myriad of other franchises that helped spawn the term “fanboy.” End Excerpt Take a look - tell me what you think - what could be done better, what's good enough, what should never be done again?
