i 1shoot on a centuries old analogue, and transfer thru a tv card. Cant afford the fancy digi camcorders yet:(

kool thanx for all ur help, i still cant find anywhere to buy squibs in the UK , and i dont understand the detonator thingies, so ill probably jus stick with the weed sprayer methosd, thanx

and level of realism, for example in reality 80% of street fights end up on the floor in the first few moments. Whereas a lot of movie/choreographed fights have more upright seuences

if you use it (though not very professional)-windows movie maker can cut the sound up behind the video too

Do you have after effects? because if you do, you could download the stock footage from detonation films and impose them on in after effects.

www.partnersinrhyme.com have royalty free sound fx, u cud search that

the hand to hand was a bit odd, didnt look like anything actually was powerful enough to hurt and it was short. . . but i liked the blood effects, wot did u use?

S-Video goes into a VCR i think - Ive got one on my TV Card and thru it i can plug the old VCR's in which dont hav the red yellow and white plugs - but im not sure u may wna check with sum1 else

We'r only doing one for a school project so i think i should make sure incase

Can you use the music as long as you are not selling anything with the music in, or do you still have to contact the composer to ask?

Wow that looks really good, how did u make it?

Im going to use as many as possible without being too obvious, as long as i can get my hands on them

i think i cud get some for 99p from the 99pence store (which is so kool) so whenn im next out and about i'll check it out

The Halo soundtracks are rele great! thanks! The terminator theme i found is a bit slow, but ill get some of the other ones and check them out, thanks for the help

is blutac best? or cud i just use bits of sponge?

yeah, that wud be pretty cool, i'll try it with jus one, cos i cant seem to find any in the uk, so ill havta dig it out the garage

kool thanks, only problem is we wanted lyk a machine gun spray across the chest close up, do you have any ways (cheap) to do this?

I have a scene in a new movie where guy is blown up and flung high into the air. I am going to animate this. I will film the background, then the person jumping, but on Photoshop will take out the background and then in AE i want to animate the person rising and falling before cutting back to the re...

I don't know, ive never used them before, but they'd come in useful for my upcoming film. Are there any ways apart from using fireworks to make them?
