Well
basically when
you decide out of the blue to make
a movie with just a digital camera that can do 40
seconds of soundless film, you may end up
with a trilogy like this. We didn't intend to do
more than,
but we ran out of time first and concluded we needed
to more parts to what we'd already
filmed. Below you will find information about each
part. In fact it's so action packed, digitally sound
remaster-fied and fully of fantastic fruity goodness,
that the file sizes are HUGE, except the first, Part
Alpha, which has been managed to fit on the web!

PARTS OF THE TRILOGY::
#1 - Part Alpha "Thou: Shalt Not Kill"
Part
Alpha
We had no ideas at the beginning of Part Alpha but we managed
to make a reasonable movie, despite the fact the storyline was worse
than getting run over by a steamroller. We had the best intentions to
make the storyline good after having a carefully planned start, but when we ended
up running up a street filming 3 'fight scenes' we realized
the story was not going to be great. Overall, Part Alpha turned out well, and
the fight scenes were a great success when sound effects were added on Flash.
Part
Beta
Here came our first problem: Dan (our minister of disguise)
was unavailable for a lot of the filming, but we had to go on. The film had a
much better storyline, where a crazy man (found cutting paper)
commits many crimes. The detectives find the suspect and solve the case. It turns
out there is a big twist in the tale, when Dan (playing a janitor) is found,
quite randomly to be the culprit. At the end of the day, Part
Beta wasn't the greatest epic of all time, not as good as Alpha
(debatably), but we were one man down for a majority of the film, so we thought
fast and the second part was finished.
#3
- Part Gamma "Sketches"
Part
Gamma
Regardless of Dan being quite late (eating
cereals whilst he should've been already filming), we came up with a simple idea
to finish this trilogy. We just filmed lots of different 'sketches' which
were often shorter than usual due to the fact someone forgot to bring
an important cable for his camera :P. Compiled together, in a quick,
punchy manner, with music playing through, it created a different style
to the others in the trilogy, yet still incorporated our trademark random
fight scenes.
#4
- Part Delta
Part
Delta
Well, here we actually had a reasonably well planned out storyline, which I posted
on the ol' SCPUK forum. View
it here! This film did have far more special effects than the other films,
and possibly the best ending, which included a little something from Mr.
Bon
Jovi...
#5
- Part Epsilon "Forest Biking EXTREME"
In
an unusual way, this part of the series was
really just us riding on bikes and trying to jump over
things. I nearly got my ribs cracked when an extremely
close jump of Tommy's missed me by half an inch.
Tommy admitted afterwards "I thought you (Barno) were
too far
away, and I thought shall I stop, but
I thought nah and kept going". Featuring for the first
time, 'Beaton'.
#6
- Part Zeta "Title!"
At the time,
it seemed that Sum 41 were playing 24:7, so we decided to
do a music video to the great 'In Too Deep'. After the first
part of the video involved a great parody of a Jacko video,
a failed attempt at lip syncing and a game of Connect-4,
we had lots of strange clips and a lot of weird filters and
colours, but overall the video was a success, with a nice
ending, and pretty funny credits...
