Alone in the Zone - New Chernobyl material like you've never seen before - General

Or at least sell more copies. (When they're all sold)

would buy it if it were like $15 but not $50 [editline]8th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Podniesinski;29703609]If you can go through the payment procedure it means that copies are still available. Simply because there are many ways to make additional profit after all the copies have been sold. It is a normal policy of any producer to distribute the film firstly through the cinemas, than shops, cable TV, TV and so on. In my case the next step will be TV channels.[/QUOTE] i was hoping the reason you couldn't have more copies was because of a personal monetary issue and really it's because of profit

Did they really have to film that using a fisheye lens? It's so annoying.

[quote]The film will be distributed in a limited edition, 500 copies in a DVD version and 100 copies in a Full HD version (Blu-ray disk or ISO file on 5 DVDs). After the printing is sold out, sales will end and it will no longer be possible to buy the film. The film will also not appear on the internet. [B](Note: Blu-ray disk is not compatible with PS3. ISO file is not compatible with Windows XP)[/B][/quote] That's pretty damn lame considering how expensive this is.

[QUOTE=-Rusty-;29692076]Sorry to bump, but to those who have purchased this... was it worth it? I'd like to know how it is.[/QUOTE] Well I ordered it about a week ago, so I'll check my box this week or this weekend. I hope I didn't just give the russians 50 dollars for nothing.

[QUOTE=KingKombat;29706489]would buy it if it were like $15 but not $50 [/QUOTE] Sure. $15 cover taxes and shipping only. [QUOTE=KingKombat;29706489] i was hoping the reason you couldn't have more copies was because of a personal monetary issue and really it's because of profit[/QUOTE] Yes, profit. Forwarded to poor people.

lol talk about overdramatic music

This is my dream! And going on a North Korean freak tour.

[QUOTE=Podniesinski;29702208]Hi all! This is my first post there so let me introduce myself. I'm Arkadiusz Podniesinski, the author of Alone in the Zone film. Some information you should know before you buy (or steal): For purposes of identification and protection against illegal distribution, every copy of the film is individually recorded and attributed to the buyer. The buyer’s data and transaction number is placed in the content of each film (invisible to the viewer). So be aware sharing the film. And try to help the poor Ukrainians instead of stealing other people’s property. All revenue from the film will be forwarded to re-settlers. BTW: Why the most often word used in this thread is "fucking"? If anyone have any questions just let me know. Arkadiusz Podniesinski [url]www.podniesinski.pl[/url][/QUOTE] Post of the year.

Hey Arkadiusz, why don't you just release a "standard edition" of the film for a considerably lower price as a downloadable version? I'm pretty sure most of the people here would appreciate that.

I would buy exuberant amounts of this if it were $10-$15 for a digital copy.

Music to the film was composed by professional composer – specially for this film. I’m currently translating my the newest post about behind the scenes where you can see all background and hear the real music from the film. Available to read tomorrow evening.

I showed this trailer to a mate he bought it while i wanted to buy it either way this is great beceuse i wont have to pay and he'll "share" it with me... on a couch.

[quote] [b]The film will also not appear on the internet.[/b][/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FopyRHHlt3M[/media]

muted the audio and watched it with stereolab in the background

Gah, I really want to buy this, but I can't get over the steep price and lack of playability on my ps3..

I'm very interested in this, but unfortunately I don't have the money to but it at 40$. Wouldn't 25$ for a digital copy make you more money than a person not buying it at all? Just my opinion.

[QUOTE=Podniesinski;29719958] It was a trailer. Music to the film was composed by professional composer – specially for this film.[/QUOTE] it was the same 5 second beating of heavy drums replayed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. it seriously never stopped.

[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;29724454]it was the same 5 second beating of heavy drums replayed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. it seriously never stopped.[/QUOTE] Maybe he means that he just slapped some world of warcrafty-music on the trailer, but had a real composer make the music on the movie itself.

I would buy a digital copy yes for about 25 dollar. But once you start doing digital copies, There's always the chance of that one dick leaking it to the internet.

So it's basically like a get rich quick scheme, but with amazing footage.

[QUOTE=Podniesinski;29719958]Are you sure? Do you have enough information to say that? We had a pre-order time with cheaper price and I didn't see any noticeable quantity/price differences. [/QUOTE] Well, I obviously wasn't aware of it since the only advertisement I've seen for this in on Facepunch. But are you trying to imply that a cheaper price means people probably wouldn't buy it as much? There's an obvious demand, you have the supplies but you're exploiting it, I think. Also, chill out, bra. Everyone here is clearly interested in your movie and would love to see it, as a film maker income is very important. But if people who want to watch your film, want to give you money and tell friends about it can't afford it then you clearly have an issue that you need to fix.

[QUOTE=Thaard;29723352]Gah, I really want to buy this, but I can't get over the steep price and lack of playability on my ps3..[/QUOTE] We are currently working on this.

Just my opinion.[/QUOTE] Sure. Everyone wants to buy as cheap as possible. Now we are selling disks versions. It is normal life cycle of any film. First shops, cable TV, TV and so on. I will consider selling digital copies but not at this stage. If you want to buy for less you have to wait. Now, the product is new. You should understand this. Secondly, I haven’t found any company who can sell (and send) 25GB digital copies through internet. Too large! [QUOTE=Djessey;29726888] But once you start doing digital copies, There's always the chance of that one dick leaking it to the internet.[/QUOTE] Agree. This is a second argument to wait with selling digital copies now. [QUOTE=skynrdfan3;29724454]it was the same 5 second beating of heavy drums replayed over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. it seriously never stopped.[/QUOTE] STOPPED - in the final film. I wrote that it was a music for the trailer only. You can hear the real music in behind the scenes section here: [url]http://www.podniesinski.pl/portal/?p=3809[/url] I suppose that it will clarify everything and further discussion on the pricing policy does not make sense. Everyone who wanted to buy has already bought. [QUOTE=Take_Opal;29730437] Also, chill out, bra.

[/QUOTE] Please read carefully all thread and you will see who should chill out, bra.

Good that you listen to feedback. I heard the music-snippet on the site, which was heaps better than the trailer. The only thing is that I hope there's something darker, since it was too light/bright, feeling wise. If you haven't already, maybe take a listen to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R soundtracks, made by MoozE. Really dark pulsating ambience which really adds creepiness.

[QUOTE=Podniesinski;29742971] Please read carefully all thread and you will see who should chill out, bra.[/QUOTE] This doesn't even make sense.

[QUOTE=SpasticPinoy;29522266]That motherfucker was walking over piles of gas masks. There were even shelves of bottles with liquid in them. Makes you wonder how much shit got left behind during evacuation.[/QUOTE] Prety much fucking everything, You could go in there and loot plenty of shit if you wanted to at the risk of your own and others health since most of the stuff in there([b]everything[/b]) is radiactive. Touching anything that has been there with barehand is sure to give your body a reason to grow a sixth finger, Which is why i'm kinda concerned about the cameraman going through things with barehands. But there's still some stuff out there which certain people would find valuable, Mostly criminals though as everything else can be found in less radioactive places and most likely aren't as outdated. Also, Can't wait the moment when someone posts this shit on some torrent site. Most likely the makers are aware of the video coming online sooner or later(which is why it isn't sold in large quantities), For the sake of me liking pirates(sea, flintlocks, rum, yarr, carribean, etc) i'm going to go through some of methods to remove any IDs from said kind of videos. First of all there's never a public standard where these are placed and how, it's always a custom job as otherwise they wouldn't be effective. The ID can be hidden through filters, transparent texts, or by oversized crap, file data and of course combination of all these. So it can be anything ranging from plain visible text hidden in some good spot(ie address) to something small as pixels. Probably the high-techiest crap is the IDs which the screen doesn't actually show due to its limited capabilities, So ID can be only extracted when spot in the video is known(ie: 2:04:04:5 topleft corner) and is put through something like a set photoshop filters to extract the actual ID or pixels or shapes which represent the buyers ID in someway. Of course, There can be somekind of ID hidden in the sound aswell. Even though you can get paranoid with all the possible ways to tag your shit, you got to remember one thing, It's not the differences, It's the amount of things tagged. If you got 10 objects you can make the differences completely invisible, So it can be something like size because a) the customer most likely wont have 2 of them b) the difference range isn't that big, But the point is that the object doesn't need to be what one would consider inperfect It just needs to be a bit different. But if you got 10 000 objects, You got to make the differences more accurate(clear) and complex inorder to identify the IDs without giving away the fact that you're hiding these in the said objects. THis is where the semi-obvious crap comes in. The big companies don't actually use this because they're not directly selling the products to customers, If they used these methods they would only know who they sold the batch in the first place and not the end customer. But it's not impossible for them to do that either, Car manifacturers hide IDs to engines and such to prevent cars from being stolen and sold with different plates, But you know -Theres a way around this aswell, The criminals dissassemble the car and sell it as parts or fix other cars with the parts. That gramma aint never gonna findout that her car's new engine was actually stolen. Anyway back to the point. You can actually remove most of the "invisible" visible identification information data by: -editing off the edges, Blurring will do the job -Lowering quality -editing off the end and the beginning and whatever pauses or screens may be in the movie. -re-recording -editing & listening the sound. Viewing through the movie frame by frame should be also considered at fullsize and smallsize incase there's anykind of special sized crap there that shouldn't be there. Now even though these things has been done to remove any what one would consider digital identifiers, There still may be left some changes in the editing which makes the movie unique, Such as clip lenght, existing / missing scenes or clips and such. But such things are usually considered too hard to use in large scale as i already explained, It's just much easier to make a new lawyer of few pixels on bottom of the screen or something and just place it on top of the video. Besides most of these IDs could be destroyed by simply changing the tempo of the movie depending on the range of existing Ids or just avoid all this by comparing 2 unique videos. At the end of going through the thinking i'm not even sure if such things should be done to the video, It would completely rape it. I also don't really want to promote anykind of criminal activity, But i can't help myself i just find this easteregg a-like stuff interesting. ...SO how about someone [b]just buy it and stream it online?[/b] I mean it's legal, what are the creators going to do? break through your door with an axe?

Just rip it from the DVD, throw it in vegas/premeire and render it out.

I want to see this, if I can get the extra spending money after my insurance is paid I just may buy this.
