This is just a test for my HP based wand dual which will be made available for dec. 24 2007

Heres the you tube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uc_Stl9gUcA

I am still working on better effects. This is just first round.

P.S. You tube sucks, the quality suffers greatly.

No dueling etiquette? What is the world coming to?

Very nice!
But yeah, teacakes is right. Before you duel, you need to follow proper etiquette procedure. Even Voldemort obeyed that rule. All that entails, really, is bowing to each other first. It's not unlike a sword duel.

LOL, very good point : ) lol shall be fixed for next round effects: )

Though Old V bowed to harry to taunt him, as to say, I wanna kill you with class, bow bitch!!! I think that was more to mock harry and the order then anything else.

Thanx, I use after effects 5.5 which is VERY old, I wish I had AE CS3, It woulda came out soooooo much better.

Also am using Discreet Combustion for particle effects as I dont have CS3.

Well, I am happy to say that the effects are improving greatly, unfortunately, I will not share them until the movies launch trailer is released on December 1st of this year. I have a rough treatment for the script and am now gathering cast and crew.

The movie takes place some time after the seventh book.
All I can say is it has death eaters and the ministry of magic, also expect to see a pretty cool wand dual between three wizards in the middle of a very busy downtown street with innocent civilians getting hit with misguided or missed spells.

Lots of action, basically, Michael Bay meets Harry Potter, just a lil more focused and not as crazy, but pretty close. What you saw was like a 30 second clip, the movies 10 minutes, of pretty much nothing but hard core wizard action.

I will release the announcement trailer for the movie on November 1st, but don't expect to see anything but an announcement.

teacakes, thats funny you say that, as I remember from many of the movies like OotP, nobody really bowed before dualing at the end fight.

Either way, I dont disagree, but when you have a dark wizard, it is very impractical, and just plain silly for them or there opponent to bow.

^ Those aren't really considered "duels." Those are more movie duels. I mean like if your walking and an unexpected duel. The way your putting it is the same as Chamber of Secrets duel between Snape and Lockhart. It doesn't really matter though. The video was good.

Thanks teacakes. It's amazing how a film maker gets inspiration from the smallest words. You just made my night princess : ) Thanks : )

Thanks nimbuskeeper, the actual movie will be much more better and accurate.

A poster I made for the short. It only has grey around it on here so you can see it.

I really like the poster. I think that you should have put the flare behind the lettering though.
