That was awesome! I love it - nice idea and I'm impressed with the dubbing! must have taken you hours!

Yeah there's just one problem with the canon XL-H1 - it retails for around £6,000 I'm personally looking for a Sony HDR-FX1 - there's a nice lil package for this baby on Ebay for around £2,000 with postage and packaging... Any1 have any experience of this camera? is shoots in HDV which is nice...

I'd love to get my hands on Poser 6 - it's on sale on Amazon I think for about £130 great deal if you happen not to be skint! I also found an XL2 for £1,700 Why is it evrything goes cheap right as I'm at my least financial!!! boo hoo but yeah - you'll not get it any cheaper than that m8 cheers...

They do a lot of this stuff in the soppy movies some of my friends watch... when people meet each-other in airport termainals for the first time in ages and they just stand there whilst people rush about all around them. Doing it slowly and speeding it us has positives and negatives... negatives: 1)...

Hey guys, Up my way the filmmaking's been getting better and better... Unfortunately I was recently diagnosed with cancer but after four months of treatment it seems I'm finally getting the upper hand (that's kinda why I haven't been around for a while) Never mind though... I recently added Adobe Au...

I thought it was 80 years in the UK? I was under the impression that it was 70 years but under EU law or something we had to draw level with Germany and call it 80? Also, remember a piece of music has @ least three copywrites on it... composer, artist, recording studio. I just write my own lol! Save...

Epsilon... When you get going on ur insanely bonkers quest for movie-making-madness...


Hire me:D it's the kind of insanity I tend 2 go in 4

eugh pinnacle...

sorry I just can't stand that programme - feels all nice and cosy until u've used summat else... but once u move 2 premiere I doubt u'll ever want 2 use it again

it crashes, it doesn't burn DVDs, its slow and it takes up soooo much processing power

just thought I'd say that

it's not a trial - it's as good as pinacle, possibly better for the same price... it also gives you a good idea of how the more pro-sumer editors feel.

also it doesn't crash as often as pinnical

I just want something I can use to create cool-looking backgrounds and superimpose my characters onto without it looking crappy (ie. such that I could put shadows on) It doesn't say on the bryce 5.5 website what kind of animation it does or what file-types it renders animation to. So I could be a bi...

best bet for windows is get Premiere and photoshop elements bundled - costs about $50 for the two, they're good and you get to try out the two programes and see if you want to buy the full versions in the future.

good luck!

What 3D editing software does evryone have? or, What's the best? Is adobe AE good? I'm thinking of getting bryce 5.5 but for videos is this stupid and are there better things out there? These are questions I'm sure lots of people on this site would like to have answered... please someone let us know...

that was awesome - I like it a lot

Has anyone on this forum actually sold the rights to a video and/or distributed it? I've seen videos by people on this site go up for sale (www.mandy.com) but I'm wondering if anyone's actually found a distributor? If so, post here and tell us about it. I'm getting to the point now where the money's...

This is going to sound patronising but it's not so bear with me, If you want to make a good film or even a 1/2 decent one, you've got to write your own stuff. It's not hard to do and it's sooo much better if you know what you reeli want from a scene rather than reading someone elses and trying to gu...

I've met people like this... sceptics Thing is, now they're begging me 2 let them in on my videos so whatever this guy claims to be he's just a wanker and we can all see that. Block his E-mails and 4get about him, if you wanna make films make your films and don't waste time with idiots like him it's...

Hello people!!! I'm about to buy some storyboarding software - anyone here got any you wanna tell me about? Seriously, what's the "industry standard"? and what do you guys recomend? So far I've looked into Frameforge and Storyboard Artist/Quick Any help appreciated - and for those of you w...

Windows movie maker isn't that bad I have premier but use pinnacle studio9+ most of the time - if I didn't have pinnacle I'd happily use movie maker. I've known worse than movie maker and if ur just starting out you'll want something easier, simpler and faster than premiere, which pinacle is (tis ab...

Go sit in a park or something. Get away from absolutely everything and sit and close your eyes... where are you now in your mind? Independent of outside interference where does your mind revert to? It's there that your film should be - just let your mind wander... who is involved? What's their goal?...

Hello!

Hey! if you're a Nottingham Filmmaker, go to www.broadway.org.uk (I think)

it runs a series of courses based at Broadway Cinema on how to write scripts, make films, animate etc.

it's great - look @ it

cheers,
John

Matt! It'd be really cool if you could post a tutorial on how you made the "holster-thing" for the camera which you fitted to the car (as seen on your HP pictures). Or, if anyone else involved in building it would like to post a tutorial/guide on how to make it that would be great! Looks s...

Heya people! In response to the thread surrounding HD cameras I was wondering if anyone here shoots on Betamax or anything other than miniDV Let's all face it, miniDV is pretty rubbish... well it is! so I was wondering if anyone here's actually gotten past the miniDV stage and if so what're the othe...

Sorry, who shreds the paper and gives it to who? lol - we thought we were being reeli clever in coming up with a comedy sketch-show - it seems, however, you all got there first! Which means you'll be able to forewarn me of the many things that'll go wrong that I don't know about yet? :p Also, does a...

Cool - I see you're from Birmingham... Your mate's not perhaps from Nottingham or close-by is he? I like the canned laughter idea... we had actually decided not 2 use it but I'm reconsidering now (after watching Monty Python last night) I'll upload the eps as soon as they're finnished (not sure how ...

They broke the 180 rule in King Arthur... didn't work I don't think - it wasn't glaringly bad (I can see what they were trying to do but it wasn't paying off).

So even the pros get that one wrong
