Folks, I'd like to ask something of you, but only if you really, truly enjoyed watching our little movie here. If you laughed and thought it wasn't a waste of your time and were genuinely entertained by it, I for one would REALLY appreciate it if you could spread the word on Forcery wherever you can. Point people to this blog and the links we have to it. There's a reason I'm asking this and I'm still collecting some thoughts on that. Right now, it means more to me than you can imagine if this film - which had a LOT of good people working on, and sacrificing for so that it could be made - could get a little (actually a LOT) more exposure. Some really good e-mails and comments have come in already, and I'm wanting to see this fly a little higher and keep on flying.
Consider this to be Version 1.1 of Forcery. In all respects the same as the initial release but we managed to fix a few things. The audio, for one: sounds MUCH better! A few of the special effects were recomposited/refined. The final scene was rebuilt completely from scratch (you'll definitely notice it when you see Frannie's lightsaber and the changed dialogue of the Mel's Drive-In waitress). Quite a few scenes were "tightened-up" to make it flow leaner and meaner. You probably won't notice these things if at all, but to me they came to stick out like a sore thumb. Right now, there's not much more that I know we could do, with what we had to make this with already. I'm more proud of it than ever :-)
As before, there are four versions of Forcery for you to download:
480 x 270 Extra Large - 508 Megabytes: the biggest/most robust version outside of the DVD.By the way, if the download doesn't work for some reason at first, try again one or two more times: you will get through to it. Ourmedia's servers are a bit quirky sometimes but I've yet to see them totally fail to deliver the goods.448 x 252 Large - 355 Megabytes: the "regular large" version.
384 x 216 Medium - 192 Megabytes: medium-sized version.
256 x 144 Micro - 96 Megabytes: the "micro-sized" version. Still my favorite because it fits neatly onto a 128 MB USB flash drive (along with Quicktime installer) so I can take my entire motion picture around with me in my pocket. Or around my neck on its lanyard. Like the dead albatross from Rime of the Ancient Mariner...
Anyway, enjoy the show! And please spread the word about Forcery! :-)

Christopher, great job! I didn't see the original edition so I can't judge how this one compares but I thought it was really really good. Just needed some work on lighting particularly the last scene but working with outside light is always challenging. Still, I'm going to recommend to several people that they take a look at it too. Good luck!
LMAO! That was great! Chris am I the first to find the Captain Power reference? I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all. Am surprised no one thought of this already. You did great for a first-timer!
Why wasn't this giving hosting at TheForce.net? There was a TFN Fanfilms Entertainment instead of the 'Kablooey Rocks Entertainment' in the first version. Did they turn Forcery down?? If so why??
It's true: TFN Fan Films turned down hosting for Forcery.
I'm going to be addressing this issue soon.
