just wondering but how exactly do you guys paint your guns? Like what kind of paint do you use, and do you use spray paint?

Watch the movie Life is Beautiful. That movie has the perfect example of a very sad and startling ending, but it still lelaves viewers feeling ok and not depressed.

Its called a wallflip... lol. Anyways its commonly seen in tricking or la parkour.

wow was HDR used in that 3d footage? because honestly if there wasn't I will be very impressed and would love to know how to create the lighting and tracking to match the frame so well.

That blur that was just posted looks nothing at all like the effect desired. A simple Pixelate>Mosaic will do the trick in the selected area. No blur is necessary. Just make sure to adjust the square radius.

Here's a picture example

interesting... Some parts were really corny like when he kicks the guy... it wasn't anywhere near close. And when I saw the vampire death I thought it was a transition at first... next time speed it up or even opt to use some stock footage of explosions found on detonation films (any of the fire bur...

wow that looks absolutely amazing. What kind of paint did you use and how many layers of it? Because I thought spray paint rubs off onto your hand... so wouldn't it smear?

I would be interested in this as well

I also started my film club and with my awesome marketing skills (hired a guy to create the sexiest logo ever) I got over 70 ppl to show up at lunch on the first meeting, unfortunantly it kinda went downhill after that because almost noone had time to work on anything. It's still alive (in it's seco...

the movie should be exported in widescreen pixel ratio (1.2). Normally TV is (0.9).

Oo I like it. Especially the part where you pull out the gun and your clone hits it away. Some parts that looked sorta screwy was when your clone flew backwards and the other clone standing next to it dodges the body. The depth of it looks kinda wonky, actually most of the parts that require depth (...

If anyone has played Need For Speed Most Wanted, you'll probbably know the amazing movie clips that are scattered throughout the game. here's a link to what it looks like: http://files.ea.com/downloads/eagames/official/nfs_mostwanted/prod_intv_4/nfsmw_hz_pt2_hi.mov I would really like to know how to...

Well you certainly have improved from your last movie. I see you have learned to cut faster, but at some points there still is that lag time I was talking about. The bullet hole looked nice, but overall it just didn't make sense. Your choreo from your last movie was more interesting. Next time I sug...

Choreo was actually nice... looked like you jacked it straight out of the transporter though. In terms of ways you can improve it now... I suggest speeding up the clips so it actually looks like your hitting her. I would also suggest cutting it so there is no "lag" time, what I mean is, th...

Its called a 360 roundhouse, and is quite easy to preform http://trickstutorials.com/index.php?page=content/t_540 thats a tutorial on how to do a 540 which is essentially the same thing except that you land on your kicking leg, while on a 360 round house you land on the non kicking leg. If you have ...

I've always wanted to do something like this too but I was always too lazy to make it for myself. I have found a few 3d models... but they look quite crappy.

wow I could use some of this in some sort of super hero movie. Haha thanks

that was quite amazing. have you ever thought about using a metallic looking liquid?

Is this basically the effect seen in house of flying daggers? cause I think a cg knife would work best, and then you can pan quickly so that your character is off frame to begin with and then on frame. And it focuses as soon as the characters hand is in frame. If you did it correctly and fast enough...

wow that looks really nice... at some points the character is slightly blurry on the edges but besides that a job well done.

lol I dunno... maybe like silver/metallicy chrome looking. Something that the apple company would make. I hope this isn't too much trouble.

mmm I was wondering if you could kinda make it look more classy? I'm not sure exactly how, but anything is fine. Thanks

woah do you think you could do that too my logo too? It'd be greatly appreciated Its for the film club I started at my highschool, I'm not really good with 3dsmax or anything so its kinda plain. Made this in photoshop

Wait for HDR do you have to add light sources or is is all automatically adjusted. Is there also a plugin for 3smax?

Oh this is absolutely so incredibly easy to do. Just use clearasil wipes (probbably 3 bucks for 60 wipes) on your face. This will cause super blood shot eyes for a few moments. Trust me, everytime I use a wipe my eyes turn nearly completely red. Heres a link to what I'm talking about: http://www.cle...
