I have been looking for some tutorials on how to create at least somewhat realistic muzzleflashes. Are there any good ones out there that somehow eluded my internetbrowsing eyes? And, this may not fall into the muzzleflash category but, some instructions on giving the gun some blowback action? Appar...

Hey guys, been away for quite a while now, but now i need you to help me once again. In my current movie, one of the characters is supposed to throw a knife at another character. How would i go about doing this? I want to show the knife rotating/spinning in the air, then hit. If you've seen Stargate...

It is all up to you're self when it comes to choosing software.. get the trial version of each program, and see which one works best for you.. I use LightWave myself..

Yep.. there are loads of these out there.. Just google: Newsletter script. You are bound to find something!

Isn't there a dust & scratches in After Effects?

I have magic bullet

Wow.. How did you raise THAT kind of money?

Yea, we realized that too.. we've been making some tests and so far everything looks good..

I think i put together all the computers in this household myself, no wait scratch that, we have a laptop. I prefer to buy the parts separately over buying a finished comp. That way ill get precisely what i want, of course i get no support from the place im buying it this way, but i never needed it ...

It's way too big for me to download so i cant watch it...sorry.. and i have no problem with people promoting their films, but you don't need to brag about them and putting other films down. I see no reason at all for you to claim that you'r film is better than Hollow Point, which by the way im quite...

Can you'r DVD player read DivX?

when i have real money to use

hmm.. i used to pay stuff with monopoly money too..

I have never seen any Contol Panel on a FTP based Host.

I have.. and in the CP you should be able to see how much space you'r using.

with AE the possiblities are endless! You can achieve so much with AE if you just set your mind to it! I can agree it's a bit expensive, but in the end it's worth it! I would check around Ebay and places like that for good bargains, i picked up 6.0 for roughly 100 dollars.

It would be a good idea to have an film gallery somewhere. only problem is to find someone who is willing to host, and has enough space.

You'r traveling through a steel door? who the heck threw you? He-Man? A steel door wouldn't break, it would bulge and buckle, and if it did break it sure wouldn't look anything like when a wooden one does. A steel one would like..uhm..shred or something. A more likely thing is that it would come los...

For the shells, find a gun range and bring a bucket and a shovel..

Well not exactly the same but i battled agrophobia as a kid, i still feel it sometimes.. My tip for you is to listen the wise words of UFProductions! If you go trough life being scared of rejection you'r going to have some problems buddy. but what's more stressful for me is the unpleasant anguish in...

Ah yes.. Final Draft was the one i read about here somewhere..

Carnage- Up until now i used RoughDraft, it's free.

this may be a bit of topic. does anyone have a way of making the flash light things up, for instance casting light on you'r face when you fire. Ive been thinking of some sort of strobe light.. you might need to modify it somehow depending on the rate of fire, well if you'r firing a mini-gun it might...

Adam..Moderator or Awsome Special Effects designer? thx for all the help mate!!

A re-install should do the trick..

I need a good script writing software.. all the free one's didn't suite me at all.. I think i remember reading about some program here on the forum but i cant remember it's name. Anyone got any suggestions? I dont mind spending a few bucks so it doesn't need to be freeware.. Not that i would complai...

At some point someone will move infront of it,Yes.
As for the camera i guess not. If we need moving shots we can always set it up so whenever the camera moves it is behind the screen showing the actors/backside of monitor.

Matt is right, no one who had the law on their side would have to threaten you with violence..
