Making a Movie: Need Special Effects

My friend Andrew and I are making a movie about a heist. This movie will, of course, include several gun fights, car chases, explosions, etc...

If you know how to make any of these things at home, easily, then I'm all ears.

To anyone that helps me out, I would be more than willing to send you a copy of the movie once it's done!

Cheers,

Jason

Cheers,

Jason

First of all, give KMC users more than 2 minutes to reply to a thread before going beserk. There are members from around the globe in different time zones.

As far as your movie goes, I would suggest using live ammunition during the gun fights.

So you went from Jason to Justin in 10 minutes??

BTW, there was a spammer who used to post and end his post with
Cheers,
Justin

a while back, but I don't remember what his Username of the Day was.

Considering Justin or Jason aren't your real names, what would be the difference? Maybe you wouldn't confuse the two!

well, fanatos, i'm not quite sure what you mean, but i'm shooting it with a video camera, but like a proffessional one...

Having said that, do you know how to make any special effects?

Cheers,

RAMPAGEMAN!

Well, video camera? No matter how professional it is, no video can ever replace film! But film is expensive wink , that means that there's no point in making a movie if you can't afford shooting on film.

As for the special effects, yes, I know and I make them. I make effects in MAYA, I composit in Combustion, I edit in Premiere, but I cannot edit video! I edit FILM ONLY smile . Film that is - high resolution non compressed image sequences. Now, video - video is f**ked up, it cannot be captured in high resolution with getting a good quality, and video is interlaced, interlaced footages cannot be composited wink .

So, my advice is - shoot on film or don't shoot at all!

P.S.
Video cannot be shown in theatres, only film can! Video can be output to film, but the quality will stink.

BTW, what's your budget. No one will make effects for you if you don't have a dozen million $$$.

use ketchup for blood. and for gun fire on the ground put a board on a rock like a see saw and cover one end with dirt. then as you run by step on the other end. it looks like the bullet is hitting the ground.thumb up

Put ketchup in plastic bags under your shirt and pop them when you get shot.
