Unofficial Tex Murphy

G'day all,

I have been monitoring the Tex site for years and I admire the dedication and faith. I have met with Aaron a few times and have been kept up to date on Tex's progress. As you all know the whole MS put a huge kink in the return of the lovable PI but we will prevail.

While Tex is still percolating a return I knocked out a short film [5 mins] I would love it if you would check it out [and vote 'funny' if you get a chuckle]. It has the dead pan humor of Tex which is one reason I thought I would share.

And it goes without saying - comments are always welcome! Enjoy.

Good stuff, the credits were golden.

Aye, I voted funny as well. Golden, that's the word for it Freep.

I will however state for the record that when people nod their head (or shake it) they tend to focus their eyes on a fixed point. So shaking the camera around to simulate yes or no by head movement... well... I wouldn't so much tilt the camera side to side as move the camera so the focus stays the same, but the frames move, giving a more realistic view of how a person nods.

But still, gotta love Big Tony. The chapstick was pure excellence!

Looks good... I liked it... I don't know it if was my computer or the video, but the sound seemed kind of low, that's the only problem I found with it... Very Good Work...

what? my post got deleted:(
walks away and drink a beer.

Well lookie who's here! You know, I never got around to finding Blood Makes Noise, but I've read some pretty nice things about it.

Is it bad if Big Tony reminds me of one of my mother's cousin? And not just physically!

Pretty amusing. Everyone makes mistakes, some jobs just lead to more amusing ones.

spoilers.................don't read my post if you haven't watched it!!!!!!!!!!






Oh...Damn that's funny. I have to admit I was shocked as hell to find out it was a woman, (It felt like the banned Prodigy video) but alas, the error apparent.

Good stuff. I like big Tony, a little sweaty,honking big ring, and plenty of casual menace. His two little friends, Simon and Harvey...

The chap stick and "apology" money was a very nice touch.

Man, it still makes me chuckle when he’s singing to himself and flips over the piece of paper to see the 1/2.

What happens now with it? What have you been up to, and what are your future projects?

So happy to see you posting. All we need is Chris and we'll have the perfect trifecta!!!

PS I know that you don't post on your own Chris....but it'd be really cool!

Nice work... I loved the bit at the end during the credits.

Anyway good to see you hanging around. Please keep us posted on many more projects!

Oh man that SO could have carried on with him trying to apologize and it escalating out of control. I almost wanted to see it go on! Anyway good stuff, I laughed the hardest when I saw it was a woman, completely caught me off guard. So brutal, I like dark humour.

That sucks... I had my Gall Bladder removed back in '04... Right around my birthday as well... Sorry to hear about your stones... They aren't any fun, I know...
