Deployment Strategy: programmer's O/S...

[markcheng]

thought i'd share this effect I made last week for this past weekend's shoot.

My movie, Deployment Strategy, centers around a rogue computer programmer and there are several shots in the film of his laptop as he installs a malicious software. I wanted to make his operating system look a bit more futuristic since this is a sci fi flick, so I created this webpage that fits the laptop's screen resolution. In IE, you can view a page in full screen mode to hide all the browser's buttons. When viewing this page in that manner, it looks like a new OS. I made the Progress screen in flash 8, so you'd need to have it...

if you have a screeen rez of 1024x768, you'll be able to duplicate the effect that we filmed. hope you like

hey guys, thanks for watching it!

I thought I'd post a sample of how the interface footage was filmed and dropped into the film, here's a quick clip: check it in wmv format

please note: no soundtrack or sound effects or sound mixing yet (those are later stages of my post-production process
