    Ho Ho ho! Merry Christmas! To celebrate the silly season we have once more dived into Santas sack and pulled out the newest Hans Polcheck Adventure! Yes, its our second annual Christmas special, and it's a doozy!

    When Hans recieves a call from his old friend Weasel, he has to go see if its true...ALIENS! And when the aliens turn out to be a tad unfriendly, then its up to Hans to step up and spread some Christmas cheer....with his gun!

    Polcheck Christmas 2

    Craigs personal note:
    Guys, Im really very proud of this one. for the first time ever i had digital effects, we really kept the story flowing fast and funny, we overcame some rather large obstacles...It was a real journey. If you all only ever download ONE Polcheck EVER, then please make it this one. i also want to mention EVERYWHERE the special thanx that Darryl Watkins and Lee Launay did to make this one happen. Its a real testament to them both just how good it looks. we shot this in late October, and now, just ovr a month later here it is.

    I hope u all enjoy it.
    -Craig

    I can't download it at work and I'm still working on my net access/home network. It'll have to wait until next week.

    I would love to watch it, but our computer freezes every time we try to watch quicktime videos or similar. Any chance of getting it up onto YouTube soonish, tis the only way I will be able to see it.

    Just caught the episode then! Very entertaining, and the homage to 40's, 50's, 60's Scifi was awesome!

    Bring the Mayor back!!

    Looks like a lot of fun to make!


    P.S. Female Weasel = Hot.

    I like it. :D I like it a lot. As someone's already said, it's a great homage to old school sci fi. Nice work, man. That must've been fun to make.

    I dunno why it freezes in any attempt to view windows media player, quicktime etc, it all started when we had to re-boot windows and it stuffed everything up.

    I totally understand the whole point about not doing it for one person, but is there no chance it can be added along side the others on YouTube? I don't understand the whole process of converting file formats so I don't know how much effort it takes.

    Rebel, I'm waiting for YouTube to get through the backlog they had over Christmas and New Years before I can make the Christmas Video 'LIVE'.

    It should be up tomorrow (even though it's late)

    Thanks milney, I got to watch it at work on YouTube. :)

    I liked the colour scheme and a lot of the shots turned out real nice (especially one where they're all running from the field). Kudos on the effects work. The day-for-night irked me a little in the beginning, but it grew on me. Again, sound needs work -- you've got to do Pat's improv dialogue justice! And if you can grab someone to be 'B' camera that'd give you double the coverage for all of that spontaneous, funny banter.

    Merry Christmas, Polcheck. Santa is dead!

    I'd be up for that, Scream, if you needed an extra camera. :) That's what I plan to do for the film I'm doing; I think it's safer with a second camera.

    Don't remember off the top of my head, but the issue was more about the sound quality, ie sounds like a handycam. See if you can hunt down someone who's willing & able to provide boom or wireless mike equipment. Sounds like a big ask (no pun intended), but I believe it'll make a world of difference.

    I might be buying a boom and mic for my filming, cos' I need one for a few days in Feb. It costs $60 a day otherwise! And even though I would be reembursed, it's not the point. :p
