2018: The Virus - Graphics Rewrite Version

2018: The Virus is an upcoming 2015 post-apocalyptic horror film both written and produced by Ashley J. Wilding & Matthew Campbell. 

'The dead are rising and they're coming for you!'

'The year is 2018 and an epidemic of unknown origin has plunged the earth into eternal darkness and death now stalks across every corner.

We now live in a world where we face our deepest fears...

The story is about a small group of military personnel and civilians who believe to be the last remaining fragment of society and they hold up on the outskirts of New York City. 

As they study towards a cure or finding a way of controlling them, 

the struggle for survival sets in!

Little do they know, something much more sinister is leading the infected to their whereabouts and makes the safe zone vulnerable for attack.

Will they survive the horror and stop humanity from being erased forever?'

2018: The Virus is my first major project and a successor to the 2013 movie [UNDERWORLD]. 

This horror flick is also the first to be made with real voicing actors and the following listed below;

1.) 720p High-Definition Display

2.) Audio in Dolby Digital 2.ch 

3.) Widescreen 16:9 Letterboxing

4.) An E.N.B Graphics Engine

5.) First time usage of Professional Editing Software

6.) A one night screening at my local IMAX Cineworld.

I'll keep everybody up-to-date with the latest information and the release date. 

ENB Graphics Explanation for new readers 

The ENBSeries is a visual modification only available for the PC platform.

It's used to make games look more appealing visually and more interesting to play.

In recent years GTA IV & Skyrim are the 2 most known games to the recieve the ENBSeries treatment.

The ENBSeries enchances the Grand Theft Auto IV Universe and makes the experience a better one. The ENBSeries purpose is to replace the original 2008 game graphics and textures with next-generation graphics/textures. 

7 years on with the modifications, the game is pretty much head-to-head with the PS4 & XBOX ONE titles!

Now that's saying something...

Trivia 

* Some recent ENB developments have been known to look better than  Rockstar's 2013 record-breaking game  'Grand Theft Auto 5' *

These shots are taken from GTA IV at max-settings. 

*Most ENB mods require a high-end PC for maximum performance. *

Underworld (2014) - Released

As you guys may know; Underworld is a science fiction security film that is going live on YouTube on 10/04/14 by me.

Underworld 2014 is an upcoming Science Fiction Security film made with the 2008 open-world videogame, Grand Theft Auto IV...

This is a starting point for me in movie making and I shall progress and learn new ways to deliver my movies; more professionally!

*Due to a potential virus on my computer in 2013; It damaged my system and lost everything! It frustrated me alot for a while because I also lost all the original 104 minutes of raw footage and this is all I was about to recover & edit. The movie is completed but it is not in HD 1080p as originally intended and has gramma that can't be edited or corrected.

As of 16/03/2014 - I have upgraded my computer virus protection and purchased  an external hard drive. This time round I  won't loose anything during the Making of my second movie which is the 2014 Upcoming Zombie film 'The Virus'.

Information on 'The Virus' can also be found here on this blog.

As of 10/03/14 - The Virus which is coming along nicely (as planned...). The software, effects and features are more available to me now! Underworld also underwent more editing when the film making software was available to me! 

After spending up to a month editing it; it's improved the overall appearance & makes the viewing experience a better one!  

II - (2015)

II (Also known as Underworld II) will be a 2015 science fiction security film and leading sequel to the 2013 film Underworld. 

The Film takes place approximately 4 months after the success of Niko's mission to stop the criminal mastermind Jack Bellic. The remaining crazies start to regroup and avenge the death of their leader. 

Niko Bellic who is still under a lot stress; finds out about the crazies coming to kill him. 

Chaos breaks out in the city once again and this time the entire place is under complete shutdown!! 

Everybody involved in the last operation is never seen again! 

Will justice be restored once again? Or now lost forever to the clever minded criminal underworld? 

UNDERWORLD (2014) - Influences and How it's made

U2012 Comic Book

As you might seen 'Based on a Comic', it is exactly what it says

Underworld is a short sketch comic made in 2012 and it is the second sketch comic I've made since 'DAYS OF THE DEAD' in 2011. 

As much as the film maker now; I am also an artist. I've studied art for 3 years at a local college and now in a level 3 media course. 

Underworld is the best I've made in a while for both story and drawing detail and had good feedback by readers. In the months that followed; I had a thought on turning the comic into a film and this would get across to a wider audience.

As of today I'm glad I went with the thought and seeing one of my ideas come to life is a very exciting thing!

02/01/2014 - The movie had been out less than 24 hours and was already watched nearly 40 people on YouTube and 17 likes on my Facebook page AJGW F1LM

I will make the comic available online sometime in 2014

Everyday Interests

For many years I've enjoyed watching movies and have a strong interest within film. For a very long time, I've always wanted to be involved in film making as a future career and that's a goal I will work hard for and to show the world my best movie making skills. I watch a lot of movies in my spare time and this has helped me generate my own ideas and these ideas will go into creating more entertaining films in the near future aswell as getting myself more known to the world

Grand Theft Auto (1997-2013)

I am also a PC and a PlayStation Gamer so I know and played a large number of games on both platform and I chose Grand Theft Auto IV because it's the  best open world game I own.

GTA Video Editor feature 

Rockstar gave PC users this in-game feature called "Video Editor" which is accessed on Niko's phone and this lets you edit your recording(s)

I've made my film more professionally looking by placing camera in different angles and places with position marks

Position Mark Example " If you put a Mark on something and then look somewhere else and a put a mark on that with the movement set to Linear. It will move from A to B.
