MattHawkins Online - Film Making Forum

I recently had to reboot my entire computer, so I put everything, including, premier on a portable hard drive. Adobe Premiere works alright, but when I am adding effects like transparency or motion, there is no preview of what it will look like. Theat means I'm editing muzzle flashes and everything ...

Okay, I am building a prop tomahawk to use in my movie. For the rocky axe head, I built it out of cardboard and duct tape. Obviously it has a duct tape look to it. Is there anything I can spray or put over it to make it look like stone while still being able to use it as a prop because it's going to...

No, I want it to be a novel. I'm not doing it as a movie, it would be too hard. You can't film there. I had it all set up like a novel, but the forum didn't read my indents and such. How is it, novelwise?

So nobody likes?
damn, I'm gonna go cry in the corner now...

I finished the first chapter, tell me what you guys think: Hello, welcome to McDonald’s. How may I help you? What would you like from our nutrition based menu. Our menu is set to help people who choose to lose weight. You can get a salad, a grilled or crispy chicken sandwich, or maybe even a ...

Geez Mr. Anderson. Let me tell you, you're awesome. You always reply to my posts. If you ever need a favor, you can ask. ha ha.

Also, that would probably fit in quite well.

Okay, I am researching anything I can to write a story about McDonalds. Does anyone have any interesting/ funny stories that occured in McDonalds or any other fast food place? Any employees wanna share things, such as interesting orders or things done to food, etc. Anything about fast food that is i...

To screen capture for free, click PRINT SCREEN (it's PRT SCR for me but may be diff. for you) and then go in MS PAINT and right click and paste (or Ctrl+V) If you want, you can open up another window of MS Paint, go into the first MS PAINT, select the desired area, copy, and then paste in the second...

What parts could I take out/ change that would make the movie stay understandable and with some form of backstory?

I was going for a lighter horror. This is going to be our first movie so we included many humorous bits to lighten some of the horror aspects. I am going to balance the humor parts by making the horror parts as terrifying as I can. And I'm not going to take the cheap way out and just use a bunch of ...

How about the fear of rejection?

Okay, this is my horror movie that I've been writing for a while. Any constructive criticism or ideas would be greatly appreciated. If you think there are any scenes that need to be cut/ changed, please tell me how I could improve. Thanks INT. BASEMENT-EVENING MIKE, JOE, NICK, LUKE, JASON and VERONI...

I know that The Lord of the Rings people had their massive program for making the huge army scenes. I remember a few months back finding a site with a different version of a program like that for lower budgeted people. Does anyone know where I can find a program like that?

Much appreciated

I think this will only work if you know your star wars so inside and out so that you can make the conversations work right, and i just have this feeling that if you pump a Star Wars flick full of graphic violance and profanty it will just feel wrong. So what I would do is this, have the layout be i...

well, usually the opening is like a side story (Pulp Fiction Pumpkin and Honey Bunny) so I was thinking Han Greedo confrontation, and then after opening credits we could have a scene in the falcon.

Okay, kewl. Any suggestions? I am trying to figure out a setting. Should it be space or on Earth?

Basically. I am either gonna do this, or a horror movie I've been working on title Twilight Twins. It's a campy horror. Imagine a crossbreed of Candyman and Scream. Which should I do. Horror or QT Star Wars?

I am trying to do a Tarantinoesque Star Wars movie. What kinda debates should I have? (ex. Hash talk in pulp fiction or Like a Virgin talk in Reservoir Dogs) also, any suggestions? I was thinking about doing 4,5,6 with flashbacks to the others, especially 3. Thanx

I thought you meant matrix rain for a sec

So it sux, right?

Hello all. I have recently downloaded Blender and I have no idea what is going on. How do you use it? And how do I get the models into movies in Premiere? Help!

I know... We are just starting up.

Okay, cuz you only live like a state an a half away.

Uhh... I don't have paypal. How does it work?

Also, we are on a slim budget do to the other films so I will have to scourage up the 20 bucks. So maybe you shouldn't get started yet.
