That's really cool. I can see that for some of the shots, but other ones looked like they were done on a crane or a tracking device, the way the camera moved through the scene. It definitely worked though-- that style helped make the movie.Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-90582993757552105512011-03-11T22:27:05.675-05:002011-03-11T22:27:05.675-05:00Matt - can you resend and put Review in the subjec...Matt - can you resend and put Review in the subject box to curnanpictures@gmail.com<br /><br />It's pure chaos here right now.<br /><br />By the way - I believe every shot in Post Mortem was done using a steadi-cam. It was a concept George and I discussed because I knew we had to find a style that would add style while allowing a very fast shoot.Alberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382454104636262711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-56525002009004505512011-03-11T21:23:28.569-05:002011-03-11T21:23:28.569-05:00I did, about ten days ago, and I got a reply from ...I did, about ten days ago, and I got a reply from Cynthia about Tales and Captain America.

The whole Cyborg Director's cut push has everyone I ever worked with hunting for my director's cuts of movies that were particularly butchered by studios (Nemesis, Ticker, Captain America, Radioactive Dreams and especially Adrenalin). I had found my cut of Captain america in storage last year. We are remastering it now for re-release in June.<br /><br />Ticker we will try to get out next. Kind of working my way through the worst butchered to least. After Ticker, Adrenalin.<br /><br />Thanks for everyone's support. <br /><br />AlbertAlberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382454104636262711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-71527325704343789832011-03-11T17:21:10.978-05:002011-03-11T17:21:10.978-05:00Not a bad movie, remember renting it about 10 year...Not a bad movie, remember renting it about 10 years ago (although MEAN GUNS is still my favourite Pyun movie, alongside NEMESIS and BRAIN SMASHER)<br />Is the TICKER (Directors Cut) getting a release?

It sounds like you are rummaging through a box of tapes that you found in the cupboard :D I look forward to receiving and hopefully reviewing my copy of Cyborg DC too.

It seems like after <i>Seven</i>, the trend has been towards more and more gruesome, and <i>Postmortem</i> was the exact opposite. I also liked that you were able to get a guy like Michael Halsey to play the Scottish detective, because he really brought the whole thing together; and shooting in six days might have been the best thing for Sheen, because it probably forced him to let himself go into his character, which was what this film needed for it to work.<br /><br />That's great news about the <i>Cyborg</i> director's cut, and now there's a <i>Ticker</i> one as well? I can't wait to see that too!Direct to Video Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310858965138247572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196474091232449207.post-5655407765312662402011-03-11T16:17:00.984-05:002011-03-11T16:17:00.984-05:00I have to say that Post Mortem is one of my films ...I have to say that Post Mortem is one of my films that was released very close to the way I envisioned.

Charlie was wonderful to work with and enjoyed the people and crew in Scotland. Shot it all in 10 days.
