i run msn+ on mine and i've had no problem with it. what you may have done is aggreed to the 'sponser' liscence agreement as well as the 'software' liscence agreement. i did that by mistake once and it installed loads of c*ap with it like toolbars and shortcuts. you can get rid of the spyware though...

Hi guys, myself and a copule of others have recently produced this video (link below) to promote what the Boys' Brigade do in the UK. It was originally part of a video we put together as a retirement present for someone within the BB, but we have decided to take it further and make it more of a prom...

Yeah, it ends suddenly on purpose as it will then blend back in with the rest of the film. Don't know how it's going to be done yet until we finish shooting. I have been meaning to change the title as well for a while, but i haven't got around to doing it yet.

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention that the music and possibly some of the art work in the credits are only there purely for testing purposes. The music will be changed to something ''royalty free'' or even something that we have produced ourselves, once the film is fully finished.

Hi guys I recently made this trailer as a test from out film 'sticky buns'. It'll appear a few minuites into our film right at the beginning, as soon as the film is finished later this year. The reason for posting it is because i need some feedback / comments on what may you all think of it and what...

The reason why i thought mono was favoured is because i read a similar topic in the forums before and most people seemed 2 find that mono is the better.

Ok. I thought that mono would be favoured over stereo.

Im looking at buying a microphone for my Sony camcorder. What would be better to use, a mono microphone or a stereo microphone?

I don't think that it was just his hand that got blown off either . Now there's a lesson for us all to learn from.

someone while back posted some kids blowing their hands off with chlorine in a soda bottle mixed with something, go watch that, then think about doint this....

I certainly wouldn't wana go making any bombs after seeing this http://www.media.ebaumsworld.com/index. ... lebomb.wmv

I'm using the bullet time tecnique in the movie i'm making at the moment. It's relatively simple to do as long as you got the plugins to do it. I've used a standard digital camera to get the angles and it seems to work fine. Some basic tutorials on how to do this are available at http://www.creative...

Ummm, we dont' have a Wal-mart as such, but Wal-mart have just taken over a chain of stores called ASDA. Anyway, thanx for the help, i just hope i can find the paint now!

Ok, nice 1. I'll have 2 see if i can get the same paint from somewhere as it might be a bit harder trying to get hold of the same paint in the UK.

Hi guys,
I need to start building a green screen asap, so have any of you got any ideas on how to achieve as cheaply as possible? If not, do you know of any links that tell you how to do this?

If you cant use the coffee creamer, try custard powder. I'm not sure if it'll work as effectively as the creamer, but it works real well with a similar design.

I've been using vegas 4 for the past 6 months and have recently upgraded to vegas 5. I started off using premiere pro 6 before before i got hold of vegas and overall, i'd say that i prefer using vegas. I say this because in my opinion vegas is alot easier to use than premiere and it also has a bette...

Rather than use an actual image of an eye, i was going 2 create a border with a transparent circular peice in the middle. I would then mask the actor in the middle and use the keyfarmes to move it around a little as u said. Anyway i prefer using vegas, personally i find it easier 2 use than premiere...

I recommend Ad-aware 6.0 for thoes who don't already use it. Since i've installed it, my pc has been so much more reliable and quicker. I recently downloaded the free plugin for the messenger service and it's free'd up alot of my system resources too. http://lavasoft.element5.com By the way, nice ti...

I might use the eye idea aswell, but it's not a problem to do. I'll either rip the scene from the DVD, or i'll just build one using the Video FX in Veags.

All i wanted was some general swirling effects as 'themovieman44' said. I will then overlay the silloettes etc over the top of the other effects. The silloettes are easy enough to make, so i can do them myself. So any1 got any ideas of where i can get these 'swirly abstract effects' from?

Yeah, i did think of using one. Where can i get one from and is it free to download?

It doesn't really matter. They're all pretty much all the same idea in all of the films apart from the newer ones have developed a bit. So the newer ones would probably be better i.e The world is not enough.

I'm sure i can find the hot chicks for the silloettes . The patterns i would like would be the random ones shown as visulizations in windows media player, but in some sort of video file. The credits are shown in all of the Bond films, so it doesn't really matter which set they are.

I need to create credits similar to the ones used at the beggining of the James Bond films. The only problem is that i am having trouble trying to find the background patterns (similar to the Media player visualizations) in a video format. I've already tried creating my own patterns using the media ...

Try http://www.findsounds.com. I'm sure they're bound to have a few on there. If not, do a google search on other free sound sites.
