Movie Making/Special Effects Thread

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

Argh!!! Come on guys! Help me out!

guys! gimme a break here! I need these! If the movie does good, it's gonna play at the Globe cinema! So you could be the difference between mine and your success and mine and your defeat.

Cheers,

Jason

Please guys, I'm desperate here! We need anything! All that we can get!

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.

wow! that was awesome. Maybe i will. Just for you. and if i die, i'll send you the morgue bills!😉

Well, lol, if you have any real ones, im all ears.

Cheers,

Justin

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

lol, i have many different aliases. lol. But ya, It's jason. You see, im sitting here in my school library with my friend jason biggs, and he wrote that last one. lol. So ya. What was the guy's username that put, "cheers, Justin?"

Why not just end it with....

??

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

BTW, click here for the old "Justin." Remember him? Your old username before you were banned? lol

What are you shooting on? Film or video?

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 😉 , 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 🙂 . 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 😉 .

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 $$$.

Wait, are you saying special effects or visual effects 😕 ?

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.👆

thanks guys, but ya, fantos, i did mean film and yes, I did mean special effects, not visual effects

Cheers,

Jason

So, anyone else with any ideas for special effects... like... wow, I need them really bad!

Please give me and my friend some help!

Thanks to all that have helped out already!

Cheers,

Jason

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

Sweet deal! thanks bud.... Keep em coming guys! These are GREAT!

Cheers,

Justin

OH, and if i didnt mention it before, i would be more than willing to send whoever helps me out a copy of the film when it's done

Cheers,

Jason
