Watch The Alien Invasion in DivX HD  

Dec 30, 2006 12:06AM

The Alien Invasion Now In DivX
THE ALIEN INVASION isn't over yet... after another few hundreds of thousand more viewers since the last newsletter, the short film has found a new place to land in - DivX's Stage 6.
Click to visit Richmanclub Studios' Channel in Stage6
It all started when DivX contacted us after reading about THE ALIEN INVASION in an online article, “The Making (and Distribution) of The Alien Invasion” by John Virata from Digital Media Network(DMN). Now, after the first month, more than 10,000 people have downloaded or viewed the short film from DivX alone! (It doesn't hurt to land on the soft and cushie "hot6" list and top it twice for the past month either :P). Now you can view and download the film in HD resolution, or watch it on your HDTV with a DivX enabled DVD player.

We also keep a DivX journal there, and yes, we treasure all our subscribers and every comment & precious "w00t!" We're grateful for DivX's invitation, encoding software sponsorship, and web publicity. If you haven't seen the film, or know someone who could do with a light-hearted action adventure with aliens, speeding/exploding cars, and ridiculous comedy to start the year on the right foot, here's yet another place to get it.

The Alien Invasion coming in DivX

Great news....or at least to us... DivX Inc. contacted us, and provided us an additional option of distribution through their new channels, DivX streaming and latest codecs. Thus expanding the scope of the Digital Launch. Look out for the new DivX section that will be available soon. Would be very grateful if anyone can share their favourite settings or device for watching DivX movies! Thanks!

The Alien Invasion is Digitally Launched  

Oct 12, 2006 02:32AM

"The Alien Invasion" was our Singapore based movie studio, Richmanclub Studios', 1st official production after being incorporated.

It has always been the director's childhood dream of having aliens attack Asia, and his entire school can be transformed into inter-galactic fighters, save the day, and skip class while at it. This finally came true in his final year of University when it called for bids for a commencement show.

Utilizing a massive cast of over 80 real-life students, staff, and professors from the university, The Alien Invasion was filmed in 3 weeks, and had to be completed in another 3 weeks.
As the film was shoot in a held-held moving style to move away from the serious slick look of Hollywood's alien films, much of the challenges came in match-moving all the visual effects with the handheld shots.
The film is meant to have satirical elements especially in a Singaporean context, thus the entire feel of the movie had to be one of fun and adventure. Game cinematics visual effects were therefore used instead of realistic ones for the over-the-top look.

Realistic Effects vs Over-the-top Game Cinematics effects

After a great premiere, 2 further months were spent on editing and sound/visual effects to craft the short film into it's madcap pseudo-blockbuster shape.
The greatest dream of a young independent film company was realized when the final version of the film became Singapore's 1st ever short film nominee in the "Chinese Oscars"-The Golden Horse Awards for "Best International Digital Short Film" 2004.

After allowing the film to travel around, the studio has decided to release the film freely worldwide for the sake of entertainment, and are attempting to distribute it in a fully digital manner where watching the film is not limited to online streaming/download, but for viewing in most popular digital devices as well.
The added challenge is to accomplish all these with free and open source means available to every film maker, programmer, and designer.

In coming months after this Digital Launch, we hope to share with fellow film makers and studios, the results of the launch, and the technical means behind it, such that everyone can have a go at it, and eventually,we hope to see if audiences are indeed ready for such mobile entertainment, and whether it will indeed prove to be a sustainable avenue for movie/tv companies and individuals.

We'd be very grateful if you could help spread the word on the film and it's launch.
And do contact us should you have any technical feedback etc.such that all of us film-makers can benefit from it!

Enjoy and have fun!
