Bad news, Stage6 is closing its doors. Most of the movies at Gamerztheatre are hosted through Stage6. 

 If you have a movie hosted at some other video hosting site could you please provide the url in the forums . This way I can change the server info without losing any of the hit counts, ratings or comments.

 If you don't have movies hosted anywhere, it would be very helpful if you could download a few of the movies here and upload them to Veoh.com or my ftp. Please post in the forums which movies you are downloading and want to upload so we don't get duplications.

Thank you

Finally, after months of preparation we released a new website. And with the launch of the site we also created a new forum dedicated to the production of SoF.

The places to be... (don't forget to update your bookmarks)
SoF SITE -> http://www.sandsoffire.com
SoF FORUM -> http://forum.sandsoffire.com 

The forum features some indepth information about Little_donkey and me. I think many of you will find it interesting to read about our past and present projects. There are also  specific threads for questions, opinions and fan related stuff. I'd really appreciate it if you guys would register and introduce yourself to the SoF community (that's what it is made for afterall). In the future I will also add new information, post some behind-the-scenes stuff and other goodies you guys definitely don't want to miss.

And to celebrate the launch of these sites I have prepared a competition. That's right, there will be a wallpaper contest starting 1st of March running till April 30th with interesting prizes to win...

For my next Battlefield 2 movie, I am keeping a diary ( renders & tests ) of the film. Here I put together a little shot in the movie in tutorial format, from its storyboard beginning to final test render.

3d stuff I'm doing is done 100%. Story 100 %. Script 60 %. BF2 footage 60 %. Sound I'm leaving till last.I have the music I want say 30% including SFX.

 I am looking at a summer release

Pictures of War 2 by Monty_Dan

Pictures of War 2 is based on the flying career of Charlie Taylor who was the flight leader of 5  torpedo-bombers which took off on a routine training flight. Soon, after take-off things began to go wrong. The Charlie reported equipment malfunctions, gyro-compasses going crazy, and he lost his horizon, had radioed Florida with the bizarre message, "Control tower this is an emergency. We seem to be off course. We seem to be lost. We can't make out where we are." . When told to head due west they replied "Everything looks wrong, even the ocean looks strange".

A Navy search was initiated (including a Martin Mariner that blew up 23 minutes into its flight) that lasted for weeks.  No trace was ever found of the aircraft or crew.

This happened just off the Florida coast and only two hours into the flight, all the aircraft just disappeared and were never seen again. No bodies were found and no wreckage spotted.

In isolation, the tragedy was not unprecedented. Disorientation is easy to achieve over water and, if lost, it is easy to fly until your fuel runs out, simply falling from the sky. The lack of evidence of a crash was unusual but, again, it has happened before. But what do we make of a sixth plane, the rescue plane  - part of the search and rescue operation - blowing up less than half an hour after take-off, with total loss of life?
