	There was some teaser footage posted earlier, you could take a look at it elementalfanstasy. There was no special effects but it looked quite good, plus there was a montage made of a few different productions that HapaJedi is in that included some scenes from SJ. My personal 0.02 cents on the issue is this: The pictures look top notch, the video released looks top notch, while it is true that many films start out strong, and then die off (Tyderium anyone?), nobody can predict who will and who wont,(although with some it is easier then others, as the monthly "HEY GUYZ I"M GONNA MK THE GR8EST FLM EVR PLZ MAKE IT 4 ME" threads would indicate) I personaly think that this is going to be worth the wait, and while it may be a long wait, I personaly am always willing to wait for a lengthy good production, rather then have a rushed sloppy film. Kudos to you HapaJedi for taking such pains with your production and not rushing it and sacrificing quality. :thumbs: Mith -----signature----- Jesus Christ came and died for your sins.

	No and No, I was here since the beginning, as wel as on threads in TDH!!! I havent seein any REAL footage from this production. Of course, I probably missed 10 -15 pages so that explains it. As I said, I am..... All over this thing, especially as a Property Master in L.A. I was simply asking for a scene, the real deal, whats in store, not still photo's, I can give you a bunch, not as kick ass as master Hapa's but non the less, mouth watering, but that says nothing about the actual product as the actual product is a film, not photo's. But either way, I am lookin forward, just hope it all holds up... no disrespect, just a fan concerned... And I somewhat agree with you Myth, and perhaps my post just now does nothing to ease the mans stress, I'm sorry Hapa. I just always see great production value and crap acting... As I said, I have faith and no reason not to, but again, this is a film not photo's or various shot's, and indeed, I probably will have to wait for the final product, which I almost cant wait for.... Indeed, he is doing this right from what I have seen, take your time, dont have set release dates if your not under Studio Law ... Your doing perfect Hapa, just a lil worried. But from what I have seen, I truly shouldnt be, and wont be, I will wait patiently for this Baby!!! EDIT: Just tired of the teaser picks, now I kinda want results as the teasers are getting old for me...

	I don't even think these are teaser pictures. They are just production pictures. He's just showing us how he's getting threw it. -----signature----- "What's the matter McFly? Chicken?"

	I don’t usually have time to answer all concerns, but thought I will address a few issues this gentleman brought up. First Id like to state that this is my part time project, and this thread was intended to showcase the projects various production phases. I own my own production company shooting video for local clients, Seven Jedi is my tribute to Kurosawa and Lucas and fun project on the side. It seems as though, your remarks are a bi-polar-ish mixed bag of put downs and doubts, to praises and anticipation, will answer to the best of my knowledge all things of concern in the order presented in your last two posts. elemental_fantasy posted: I kinda fear this project might flop completely Everyone’s entitled to there own opinions. People who have been reading the post since its original inception, know the trials and tribulations I’ve gone thru in making this film. One main point being my mom passing away….I don’t think I have to explain myself why its taking so long. elemental_fantasy posted: Don't get me wrong, Hapa KICKS ASS, (with props,) thanks, I appreciate you at least giving me props for my props. elemental_fantasy posted: and I know from some great experience that camera is for training purposes only! I dunno, I was trained on Sony 390s and PD-170s, to me, Canon including the older XL-1 have better quality picture, not to mention multi-lenses capability. elemental_fantasy posted: I know alot is shot on the XL-1 Were using two XL-2 cameras to shoot Seven Jedi. Never owned an XL-1. elemental_fantasy posted: but I have yet to see any REAL footage from this picture, only stills. To me, when people release footage, it’s like taking away the thrill and experience of experiencing it for the very first time. Like in movie trailers, you see it, then when you see it while watching the film, thus its not a surprise anymore, some great films were ruined by there trailers giving away the best scenes. elemental_fantasy posted: I fear this could be a disappointment. Again, everyones entitled to thier own opinion, we cant please everyone. elemental_fantasy posted: I don't mean to be negative, but if the acting is flat, this film blows!, If the editing and pacing is bad, then it blows, if anything is bad, aside from props, it will blow! It sounds as though you already made your decision before even seeing the final product. Your summary of bad expectations is sort of nitpicking, if one thing is bad, the rest will “blow”. If I make one mistake, elemental fantasy will say it blows! So no matter what, im screwed, it’s as though im being watched under a microscope. To me episode one (TPM) had a few of the things you listed above, (flat acting, slow tattooine pace) but in the end though, were you not entertained? elemental_fantasy posted: I am just a lil worried about not seeing any REAL footage. Like I said I don’t release footage, and if I catered to all those who demanded footage, then what fun would it be to watch it when its done. elemental_fantasy posted: If not, ... ouch (just sayin, I can release alot of nice photo's, but that's not what makes a film, Basiclly its production photos, and some are screen caps of the actual film mixed in along BTS(behind the scenes) we have new stuff that’s constantly made during the filming so I upload it just to showcase our teams hard work. elemental_fantasy posted: and the teaser trailer wasn't anything special at all.) Again, sorry, no offense! Wasn’t intended to be spectacular, hence “teaser” but officially I wouldn’t call that the teaser trailer. elemental_fantasy posted: P.S. Hapa, can you please leak a scene for us??? A small one........... Your rockin the block beyond belief!!! But the teaser stills aren't really getting me into it anymore, no matter how good the props look, I am ready to see how the movie looks! Sorry buddy, your just gonna have to wait till like everyone else. And that’s when I am completely, whole-heartily, satisfied with the look and feel of my final edit. elemental_fantasy posted: I havent seein any REAL footage from this production. Of course, I probably missed 10 -15 pages so that explains it. Yes if you can find the time, feel free to look thoroughly through the numerous pages of posts you’ll find some links here and there. elemental_fantasy posted: As I said, I am..... All over this thing, especially as a Property Master in L.A. Seen some of your stuff, pretty good I must say, so I can see your attention to detail, I run the FX shop here for our production. elemental_fantasy posted: I was simply asking for a scene, the real deal, whats in store, not still photo's, I can give you a bunch, not as kick ass as master Hapa's Why thank you! elemental_fantasy posted: but non the less, mouth watering, but that says nothing about the actual product as the actual product is a film, not photo's. elemental_fantasy posted: But either way, I am lookin forward, just hope it all holds up... no disrespect, just a fan concerned... Im sorry but its some pretty hasty remarks for a fan(which I never know we had) seem a little over obsessed. elemental_fantasy posted: And I somewhat agree with you Myth, and perhaps my post just now does nothing to ease the mans stress, I'm sorry Hapa. No apology needed, I don’t let these sort of things stress me out, I have enough stress in my everyday life. But like my girl told me before, everything has a way of working itself out. elemental_fantasy posted: Indeed, he is doing this right from what I have seen, take your time, dont have set release dates if your not under Studio Law ... Your doing perfect Hapa, just a lil worried. Don’t worry, be happy! Live your life, don’t be obsessed with when I’ll release something, if I do, you’ll be the first to know! -----signature----- "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us"

	Wow, thanks SO very much for answering all my questions and concerns in a very professional manner. Indeed your correct on all the above. I don't ever grow tired of seeing these great picks, (cant word it correctly) but my expectations are building high, (kinda like with the prequals of star wars, then they came out)but I shouldnt let that happen with any film, I'll be very open minded upon it's release and not think this will be the best, nor worst, but the fact that it will be! That's whats important is your getting it done and all the stuff looks great, even the clips I have seen, I will be happy, no more worries. I have 100% faith in ya Hapa, I'm sure this is going to be the best you can make it. You seem VERY well rounded. lol, As far as a fan, I think most people who look at your work in this thread can be considered fans... Thanks again for your time Hapa, and sorry I was a bit harsh in a few areas.

	That's kind of a jump in logic. I mean, it's not like we haven't all seen... countless movies with high production values and shoddy acting. As far as I'm concerned, acting is paramount to a good movie (unless we're talking about an experimental or abstract film). Theatre... you get a good actor, totally committed, they can make an audience believe in the false reality of the stage with a minimal set or no set at all... with bad actors, you get the reverse: no matter how high the production values and realistic the set, you're not gonna get that suspension of disbelief from the audience and the whole thing's gonna fall flat. Apart from the acting, I'd say the runners up in terms of most important elements for a film are audio and cinematography, in that order... so it's a little distressing to me that these three hugely important elements are just what we're NOT getting info about from this film. Not trying to be a downer... I'd say there's a real good chance that if they're putting this much work into the project's production values, they're not gonna slack when it comes to acting, cinematography, and audio... BUUUUT... I'd be a lot more excited if I had some teasers for these things, too, instead of just production stills and shots of props and costumes (and I'd say this is your primary reason for putting out a trailer, by the by). -----signature----- There is no rest... from the wicked...

	Really not to kiss ass, but it seem's Hapa is a very well rounded filmmaker, not just a prop master! I didn't mean to raise any doubt in this mans artistic work!!! I was just sayin I wanted to see something more tangible. All these photo's build up GREAT expectation, kinda like the SW Episode I trailers. All in all, I realize what Hapa is doing is including everyone in the production phase, not trying to market/advertise. It's easier and better to post pictures then give away detailed story plots... imho (Some updates on the actual production status, shooting, editing, what not, could be helpful) I have faith in the man, This will be good when he is finished. When HE is ready for it. All in all, a good director can make a bad actor look good. A bad director can make a good actor look bad. Just the way Hapa act's, I'll bet he is a good director, and I for one will patiently wait for as long as it takes...
