This is the 4th part in the Shammy Boys Trilogy. It's the on going saga of the 4 teachers who have to save the school from the evil Guidance Counsellor Darth Tony. In past episodes, he's rigged exam marks, made the school black and white, and even turned one of the Shammy Boys against the others. Now the Shammy Boys must go back into the history of the school to find out why Darth Tony, a former Shammy Boy, turned away from the light.
Ok. All that and it's campy fun. If you haven't seen the other Shammy Boys, you probably should see them first to get the characters and some of the jokes. If you don't go to our high school then you'll miss out on several of the big jokes. But it is still worth a watch. We made it as the teacher entry in our school's Film Festival (www.stpatrickhigh.com).
We used a little bit of bluescreening, a little bit of Alam, a bunch of Poser and a touch of After Effects. One of our goals was to get away from lots of special effects like we had in Episode 1 and 2. So, it's not really Alam-intensive.
It's 32 minutes long and is a 51MB download. It's a huge file size but at 1.5MB/min, it's really not that extravagantly encoded. If you try to load it and we've exceeded our bandwidth, please try back later. We have a 6 Gig/month limit and we might very well overload that as people download any of the Shammy Boys movies.
Hope you enjoy it. Swing by the website (www.shammyboys.com) which will be updated next week to include this movie (the movie is online but the info on the page isn't up to date). Apparently, we have a tonne of time on our hands because we've made Action Figures and other such stuff for ourselves. Maybe the next Shammy Boy mystery should be if we will ever find time to mark those tests...

Woah, buddy, slow down! I am sorry you didn't like the movie. I guess you kinda missed the whole point. The whole point is that it's supposed to be goofy fun that pokes fun at the whole genre of action and sci fi movies. The effects aren't supposed to be really tight, the color correction isn't supposed to be perfect, the fight scenes aren't supposed to be wickedly choreographed, the website is supposed to be sugary sweet to the point of diabetics having seisures. Sorry you didn't get the point. Anyways, thanks for the input - as wild as it was - I know the movie isn't for everyone. If we post more movies, don't feel that you have to keep saying how bad they are (because they'll all be the same kinda stuff), I'll just assume you don't like them!

hi you might want to correct the following things : color corection, kids in the hall, lighting, music to loud, better camera shots, more fighting and well, prettymuch the whole wookie thing because to be honest with you its just so bad I didnt even laugh.... prob one of the poopywoopiest story (thats when u can hear the voices, u guys should use a proper microphone) ever, the effects are.......I wont even go there because Iv wasted enough of my time already. sorry for being so mean but god someone should tell you how bad your film really is. bye damn it, why did I have to be curious and visit your website, its so "pretty" that now I seriously feel like vomiting

You've probably never heard of me. Mainly because i make lego movies using ALAMDV. ( Check out rstudios ((my site )) and Brickfilms for the home. ) I've been a big fan of the Shammy's and i've watched all the movies and they were all supurb and this one is no exepction!!!! A great story. The one thing that annoyed me most was the annoying voices of the little kids but that dosn't really matter. - rstudios 1 -2 -3 - Irish!
