The I3 is a B. It's Blade.

I'm going to go look at my Garand now.

Sorry, just had to throw that in

Good explosion, nice to see smoke as opposed to fire.

And Blade, stop bashing plug-ins. All professional SFX houses use them, how do you think they do the things they do in the time given to them?

how do i get rid of the thing that says detonation films

I've used a ton of their footage and that watermark is only on the beginning of the clip and not on the clip itself.

Alright, I see what they're doing. Yeah, AE 5 could easily do that.

Yeah, they often edit out most of the sound in post.

AFAIK alpha mapping is used with CG objects. With real people you'll need a bluescreen.

Just out of curiosity... what does the title mean?

Very good for a short flick. Nice cinematography, and I like the use of fast-motion (kind of reminded me of Requiem for a Dream) and black and white. Nice portrayel of someone sniffing too... not that I would know .

Try looking for the Ennio Morricone song "Trio" on altavista's audio search. That should have you're looking for. If you can't find it, don't hesitate to PM me and I'll be glad to send it your way (it's only about 852 kb).

There's always illegal downloading, which will in the short term cost you nothing

Don't even think of suggesting that. You do realize you could get this entire board shut down.

People do this all the time. Very rarely will a director or anyone else on the main production crew write the script.

With certain programs you can eliminate the "center" channel, which contains the dialogue.

Yeah. Just put a squib on the guys body for entrance and exit wounds. Or you can cut.

I hate you . Nice find... I wish we could all be that lucky.

8mm film is worse quality than DV!

MiniDV is 480 lines (or 525 depending on what country you're in) of resolution. 8mm is 1315. .

That is soo funny! It is a couple of kids running around in the backyard!

Uh... second that...
Gonna keep my mouth shut b/c I don't know what will pop out

And as for transfering the film to computer..... all you need is a projector (which can be found for next to nothing nowadays) and the right lighting conditions. You can not point a video camera at the projection and hook your cam directly to a VCR.......BOOM.... you got video from film. Uh... yeah...

You could consider 8mm... though I don't know what those prices are.
The problem is really finding people who could process it.

It's really just one of those things you have to deal with. I had to do it for my movie and I made out alright .

Use Quicktime. Not everyone can read WMV files.

What format is the clip in? It has to be a specific format, not just MPEG.

I seem to be losing a lot of film quality when it goes into my computer

Quick correction... you're not losing film quality b/c you're not working with film .

For most amatuer filmmakers, interchangable lenses aren't necessary.

Looks alright I guess. Couldn't tell because I could barely see the video... any chance of doing it at a higher rez?
