This is the second episode of our sci-fi trilogy featuring the exciting interstellar exploits of our intrepid space pilots Muffy and Jebediah.

Having survived the crash-landing of their ship in the swamps, our heroes have found themselves separated and in big trouble - Muffy is lost in the wilderness, and Jebediah is being chased by an unknown alien creature. But what perils still await?

that's odd... how is it that only three people have watched it, yet five people have voted?

Yup, a few people have seen the movie many times already, in various unfinished forms, and then in its finished form over the last coupla days whilst it crawled online over my 56k connection.

Blueshift and Schwar and Kid have seen it in various incarnations, I believe. Especially Schwar, who has seen it an absurd number of times.

But, as TMM said, it was online for about 2 days before the alamdv page activated.

Andreas - sorry if the Space Monkey screeches got to you a bit.

The dodgy audio compression doesn't help, but the real problem was that the monkeys we hired to record their dialogue were very uncooperative. Something about pay and union rules or some such.

Anyway, we managed to just about get what we needed, but our lead monkey walked off the set twice - in other words it was a bit of a nightmare.

Good job ! The 3D was really cool, all done in Blender you say? Wow, that app is more powerful then I thought it was. Unfortunatly it seemed to cut off with about a minute to go, so I dunno what happened in the end Which one is Tarn? Jebediah? Or the weird animal thing that follows them around? I could see Tarn being on of those... Anyhow, keep up the good work!

Wow. Your best work yet by far. You made one giant leap forward. Way to go. Like the monkeys! Those flying ones in the Wizard of OZ twisted your brain a bit too huh? Anyway, great job.

Hey! I typed the whole message and managed to restrain myself from pointing out the cheap, low-down, unfair, immature, doggy voting! Dang... did I type that. Dang!

Thanks for all the comments so far- much appreciated!

I hope everybody who liked episode 1 hasn't been disappointed. We did our best to take it a few steps further, whilst retaining that true M&J cheese.

Flip - glad ya liked the 3D. I really pushed myself on this one, especially with the monkey fight sequence. The models themselves aren't anything special, but the animation and masking I put a lot of work into. Creating a 3D artificial set to mask out individual blades of grass isn't fun. But if you think that stuff is good, then you should check out what the real Pros do with Blender - I'm just a novice.

X - thanks for the kind comments. We were very pleased with M&J2. The M&J films are largely improvised, so we were surprised that ep1 worked out as well as it did. But M&J2 surpassed everything we did in that one, in terms of effects, pacing, structure, music and cinematography.

The movie is in DIVX.

Got to www.divx.com and download the latest version (5.02).

The movie should then play through windows media player (eeueeeurgh), or if not it should play through the provided divx player thingy.

Let me know if you have any more probs...

@##$&()& Holy !@#$& !!!!!

This flick is by far one of the best here in the cinema If you have not watched it then download the divx 5.02 player and do so. This movie really goes to show that no one's vision is unattainable. Tarn this is very very good. I am quite impressed with the overall concept and the Special FX. Keena Films really set a new standard for "no-budget Epics"

Bang Up Job

BTW those of you that gave this a one have your heads where the sun dont shine

Keep up the Great work Tarn

This movie is crap.


what the hell was that thing, my granny made better films than this.






Just joking, great stuff ( still think costumes would have helped. )

5 votes from me.
Don't just talk about making movies, go make one... not one but 5 or more at one time, it's fun... and you'll loose your hair
