F.F.F. . . sorry, but no. Looking back on it, it's pretty badly written and in serious need of editing, so I'm not about to humiliate myself by posting it on the internet anywhere =D. Thanks for the interest, though ^_^. Yeah, Nba--at first, I thought that was going to be really easy. After all, I'v...

I don't know how many of you have done NaNoWriMo. It's National Novel Writing Month, in which you write a 50,000 word novel (so technically, more of a novella, but still), in one month. All the words must be written inside that month--November--and you have to be done by the end of the month. I just...

Dailymotion > all.

Are you looking for drama? Something sad, dramatic, romantic, what? Any other restrictions other than the need for it to be dialogue-driven? Also, when do you need the script to be finished? Depending on what genre/feel you're going for, but especially the deadline, I may be able to write for you. I...

My bad, I should have defined. Del.icio.us is social bookmarking -- you bookmark a site, other people can find it through the site, etc. Here's the URL. http://del.icio.us/ . StumbleUpon is basically another form of social bookmarking: http://www.stumbleupon.com/. I'm actually in the process of look...

Word of mouth. Tell friends who would be interested in the site about it, and ask them to tell other friends. Find message boards that are relevant to the sites and join them--mention your site in passing on those boards (but don't join and spam advertisements for your sites!). Post announcements on...

I don't feel obligated to "prove" that it's easy. Or rather, there's no way I'm gonna sit and look at that picture for the time it would take to correct it as I've no desire to stare at an old woman's face for that long. So I grabbed an image that's a bit easier on the eyes from the site y...

$10,000 for photo retouching? It's basic stuff, really. Amazing there's that much money in it. I might need to go into business. . . . Lame that we expect women to look so 'perfect,' though. Plastic surgery and photoshop--eh, it's fake. That's a completely different issue though. The video was impre...

You could always use Microsoft's tool as well, can't remember what they call it.

Nice. I thought it was a nice touch when it said "cop," and then, well, the rest I won't give away for anyone who's reading the comments without having watched it, but it was quite witty. Surprised you got to bring guns in as well. Also, just a technical point, I thought the cops in Austra...

This isn't actually free Photoshop, but it's a photoshop clone with a good bit of the functionality. Nothing compared to the feature set of CS2, of course, but the interface is intuitive and from my few minutes of playing around with it, it seems to be quite good for being freeware. It's called Pain...

I'm gonna go with maj_barnes and Mr.Anderson. It's gotta be creepy surreal stuff. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSD and write the story as if he has a bad trip. From the wiki, "Changes in aural and visual perception are common, ranging from mild to profound.[20][26] These sensory changes in...

I like the colour correction. It's very 300-feeling. Onto the crits: the blood and muzzle flashes look fake. I think the colour correction wasn't too friendly to them. But that's easily fixable, really. All in all, it was tightly edited and as good as you can expect a 30 second shootout to be. Now m...

If his brother was really horrible, he wouldn't have to worry about faking it!

Haha! I was laughing. The whole feel of it reminds me heavily of some of Ornsack's sketches. (that's a compliment!)

"Potatoes?" ahaha. So random.

I'd watch it. Definitely.

Look, I don't normally do this, but: GOOGLE IT. You're asking us to find things for you that you can find on your own quite easily. Try Google, Wikipedia, history books about the time period (local library if you don't want to buy), books specific to 40s gangsters (again, hit the library). . . it's ...

Depending on your CGI needs I might be able to assist. If it's 3D, I'm no help at all, but if it's compositing and special effects along the lines of explosions, muzzle flashes, etc, then it's possible. Only question is if I do good enough work for what you're looking for!

And I still think it is ridiculous that people in America are allowed guns, you want to crack down on terrorisim, gun-realted murders, shop lifting etc.? Get rid of the FREAKING guns! Man. I'm going to have a cold, very cold shower... Let me clue you in to something here. There is an enormous numbe...

It's fusion, actually. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun#Core

I watched it without sound so I can't comment on that. Anyway, your videos have greatly improved. The angles were quite for the most part, and you changed the angle often enough to make an admittedly uninteresting subject (someone walking through a house) watchable for the most part. One thing I'd s...

Look at the image properties, Zac. He's hosting it at another website, not using the MattHawkins uploader: http://shabot6000.com/blog/uploaded_ima ... ytycd2.gif .

Found this today. http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/ . It's really great for making names for secondary/minor characters in a script, or even for placeholder names for the main characters until you come up with a good full name. Apart from that, and on a similar subject (and I can't take credit for t...

That's messed up and . . . . really, really funny. Keep it up!

Look on eBay for cheap software. I picked up After Effects off eBay, two copies of it (5.0 and 5.5), for I think it was about $120. These were legitimate copies, too; came with the boxes and manuals and authentic CDs and cases. Not pirated stuff. So look for a copy of Premiere that's a couple versio...

Ooh, that's a sweet idea, UFProductions. Maybe there's a scaffold outside, or one of those window cleaning platform deals, and she can grab the pole on the side of it and use it as a pivot. There's not really any way I can think of that you can survive a fall from a skyscraper unless, as rhys said, ...
