MattHawkins Online - Film Making Forum

Yes its a short film (about 5 Min.) I have About a month to make it. My limitations are locations. And I have very little assets.
My school has a projection screen which I plan to use at the show.

Hi, The school talent show is at the end of next trimester so I'd like to get my name out there. I figured I'd do that by making a comedy, but I have no ideas. Anyone with some ideas who'd like to help me it get started it'd be greatly appreciated.

The scene I most need the sets for is a court room. So I think I'll ask the church here, because of all the wood benches and stuff.

I'll try it. Now what about sets, there's no shop class at my school.

I've used Adobe Premiere, for mac, but when I got my new mac I found out they don't make it for mac anymore. And, as far as money, I think I will have the members of the club, including myself, ask their parents to donate money to the club. Mabey even go to shops around here.

I already have a DV camcorder and I-Movie for MAC but I'm saving up for Final Cut Express HD. The teacher I talked to about first starting the club is the schools drama teacher and she knows how to write scripts and so do I. And how did you get a $2,000 budget?

Hi, I'm starting a film making club at my school and would like any advice anyone has to make sure it doesn't fail. At my school they only offered drama. That really bugged me because I can't act but I can do a lot of things involving film making, such as directing, writing, and editing. Anyway, any...

But I want it to look like they got ran over for a horror.

How would I go about being hit by a car. Does anyone have any advice?!?

Thanks for the sugestion. And I appologize if I sounded rude.

I think it depends on your acting ability. I'm no actor but it shouldn't lose you any credibility.

Yes I agree fully with carnage and in almost every scene the actore must round corners, hide behind stuff in doorways and behind statues. So I would need physical items I can't possible use a green screen. I also can't just go to Chicago that would cost way to much money. And I expected I would have...

The tommy gun I can afford, but I can't afford the other 250 dollars for the ten snud- noses. Oh and just so you know I have never shoped at Wal-Mart and probably never will.

I typed in snub-nosed revolvers on google and all I found was expensive ones do you know of any sites with snub-nosed revolvers in the 20 dollar range? And I just realized I need two shoulder holsters of that same style.

I need the outsides of buildings and the insides and outsides of a bank.

I wrote a movie and I'm getting ready to shoot. The movie takes place in the 1920's in Chicago. I'm wondering if I should build the set or if there is a place in the Los Angeles area that I film in that has no cars or other modern things like that.

I found this website just a little bit ago if it will help anyone other than me.

It has very realistic weapons with no work needed.

I need props. I need a tommy gun a shot gun and two colts with silencers, and ten other handguns in 20's style.

I'm looking for 1920's style clothes. Like Al Capone stlye clothes.

Thanks for your help. I filmed a test scene to try it out, and it worked.

I'm looking for premiere 6.5 for Mac. Does anyone know of any websites where I could purchase this?

Hey I'm just thirteen and I can't afford the 500 dollars it would cost to buy premiere 6.5.

Can I do this effect http://www.matthawkins.co.uk/index.php? ... d=5&pid=36
with premiere 6.0?

I'm sorry it's on http://www.matthawkins.co.uk/index.php? ... d=5&pid=36

I'm working on a movie and need the bullet flares shown in the special effects pages and have premiere but it's 6.0. Will I still be able to make the effect?
