Fight The Foot
 

I'm not exaclty sure what this is , i'm assuming like a school project or some small time director trying to go the " Mortal Kombat Rebirth " route

It's interesting.. not bad visually. but they made the foot go from a highly trained stealthy class of ninjas to a bunch of common goons wearing hoodies and paintball mask.

none the less , worth checking out to see the version or Raph

The turtle costume s pretty good, the foot memebers... not so much.

lol. yeah i agree. I'm curious as to what it is though.

This **** sucked. Though Raph didn't look half bad. The foot looked like graffiti artist.....:ohwell:

EDIT: I wrote the above statement in an angry fury after just waking up and not giving the video a proper chance. After re watching it, it's pretty damn good for a student project. Very realistic and Raph does look damn good. Pretty damn cool.

This is pretty good the Raph costume looks like a cabbage patch doll heh. Not knocking the costume since its really good. I did get some Mortal Kombat Rebirth vibes from it but this most likely is a fan film done with a relatively small budget while MKR had an actual budget even if small and done by professionals. Speaking of fanfilms I want that Casey Jones one finished. Who knows maybe its the teaser trailer for the new movie :lol: ;)

Fightthefoot.com is the url of the site it has the directors twitter/facebook.

Wow. Pretty awesome in some ways.

yeah I thought Raph. was neat.

The foot were just terribly portrayed though


the end shot of raph was really cool.


I thought The fighting was a little slow and too zoomed in

^Thanks a lot for share!!
In my opinion: awesome!!! I like it!!!

At begining Raph remember me the first movie (its to fast to see it well).... I like the slim fingers showing in the sewer cover, much more realistic than big plastic ones...the shell is different and looks good for me, even with border of the shell to out , the torax is most weird for me, more human than turtle....but also seems to me more easy to move the actor inside...the last image (I stopped the frame for see the face) is nice! Curious the lips, and great eyes!!!...

Agree with comments about Foot...

you're welcome :tsmile:

That Raph was pretty good.

What the hell. It's not like they couldn't have just bought some cheap balaclavas from Amazon or Bud-K or something.

That was pretty cool. The foot seemed more like purple dragons or something but still for a fan project that was nice. Cool share.

-ms

Yeah, they don't look like Foot Ninjas... more like a street gang.

Raph's OK, though.

I got the Purple Dragon vibe. Like this is the begging of the Foot and they haven't quite gone from just being thugs to trained ninja. Like Shreeder has just taken over this gang. I don't know what the director/writer was going for.

But I have to say this is freaking sweet. I loved it. I really hope that people who make this have good luck and keep their love for move making alive and that we can expect great things from them.

I'm glad you all like this. :tgrin: I finally don't feel like such a noob. Now i feel like i've contributed something.

&& I agree with you carl, I looked on their Facebook and twitter for more info but they really don't say much about what they're doing/trying to do.


www.fightthefoot.com has links to their twitter and Facebook.

The actual youtube vid has a comment from them stating that Shreeder has just taken over the Purple Dragons(They say gang but I'm guessing PD).

not bad. not great but not bad. i agree that the Foot seem more like the Purple Dragons then ninjas, i mean gas-masks?! but yeah Raph looked not too bad

I thought it was great.
Having April be a blogger is a great way to bridge old toon with the comic backstory. I mean, what computer/engineering grad student doesn't have a blog?

The Raph costume was cool, and I actually didn't mind the thugs being...thug like.

My hopes is that this'll be a continuing series.

I liked the "feel" of it, the music, atmosphere, and the Raph costume (mostly).

Nice modern take, Raph costume was pretty cool. I dont get the gas mask costumes for the Foot. Maybe if they needed them to breath or some like Nuclear war thing.. seemed liked Riddick almost..

The "gas mask Foot" is from the idea that Oroku Saki just took over a gang and hasn't quite trained them into Ninjas just yet. This leads me to my main problem with this film: there isn't anything explaining this within the film itself.

Other than that, I really like it!

Looked amazing, I at first believed it really was a trailer, but it's just a fan flick. :(
Ahh well, they did a great job!

That Foot thug sounded more like he was from the south than New York.

great cinematography for a fan film! the last few shots were killer. aside from the "front/chest/abs" shell design, the costume was fantastic. april was a babe!

like most fan films, the story and characters were garbage... nay, nonexistent. i understand that it was probably supposed to look like a scene cut from a longer film, but it needs to stand on it's own. give us more story and character next time, please.

the editing and direction were pretty funky... but... it's a fan film! practice makes perfect! i enjoyed the snot out of it.

its getting some notice now. creating some solid ninja turtles word of mouth http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/191...ight-the-foot-

http://www.slashfilm.com/votd/#more-96455

I didnt like the foot and although the costume was well made for Raph I didnt care for the look at all. I like the classic part 1 movie look best and really hope they go that route for the new movie.

This was great. I love the detail work on the Raph costume. I do hope we get some more little videos... :)

this is awesome i want more

It would be really cool if the people who made it decided to make like a web series. I know that could get expensive on their part, but they did such an amazing job I would love to see more.

All things considered, this is really awesome! I hope the creative team does a few more fan projects!

Great short from a real fan! It was nice seeing April have a little more ethnic loook about her; wish the thugs had been the Purple Dragons, though! :D

wow im in shock of how good that was it feels pretty legit. like somthing you would see in a movie

Or if they flooded the place they're "hitting" with teargas first.

Anything that ultimately arrives at ninjas making fashion statements I have a problem with.

My biggest gripe is the "foot soldier" with the texan accent. Whaaat?

I think Raph's face is DOPE, but the super-human plastron, is cheesey.

More? Yes. I'd LOVE to see more, and I hope I do!

Would have worked better had they not called those guys Foot. They could have been some random gang. Raph looked okay. I think his face was too human. The 3D shot at the end was pretty horrible.

My only major gripe is the music is taken from other movies. The end music is from Sunshine.

It ultimately arrives at "Those aren't Ninjas. Those are a street gang Saki took control of." Unfortunately this wasn't included in the film itself.

Also, seems everyone but hardcore TMNT fans (Drome members) likes this a lot.

People who have no idea how to make something like that would be very impressed by it. It's a lot harder to be impressed by something you could do yourself and see ways it could be improved.

Like music, a musician will always be harsher critic then someone who just listens. A guitar player knows how much effort and thought went into writing a song and playing it.

That's not to say this wasn't well done, there's just little things they could have fixed easily to make it that much better. In the defense of Dromers we're the hardcore turtles fans. Something silly like calling guys in gas masks Foot Solders isn't going to sneak by us un-criticized. Even if they weren't supposed to be there's indication given that they are. If the makers wanted to tell us otherwise they should have. Explaining it in text off screen or after the fact doesn't count.

That would've made more sense and everyone probably would be dismissing the gas masks as just trying to hide their faces and that's about it. But the fact they stated: "Fight the Foot", too many statements of the same thing, another one of the more common things was: "I didn't like the fact they gave him lips"
Which I agree with, just don't care all that much.

I think people are forgetting this is a fanfilm, they are dissecting it as if it was truly the trailer to the new movie. The film is fantastic, it clearly had a decent budget and was great even if it was very short. Yeah the masks dudes were likely supposed to be the foot, so what? Its just a short fanfilm enjoy it for what it is its not like they are even called the foot, if it bothers you that much call them purple dragons. The gas masks gave them their eyes a similar look to what normal foot wear, this is done in a more realistic setting where the foot are likely not ninjas, not to dissimilar to the Mortal Kombat realistic movie pitch.

8/10 overal

Pros-
Raph costume very cool.
Good theme.
Like the portrayl of April for the most part. the on
