I think Avid does it. . but im not sure - my friend was saying something about it to me a little while ago.

"this one time. . .at band camp. . we put our wireless transmitters in unlubed condoms. . .and. . . ."

cut through black transition i think

greenscreen

VEERRRRYYYY time consuming masking. . . .

lob grey paint over the set

Blackadder goes fourth! hahah legendary

some of those sound really good, thanks for the ideas

Only problem is I cant wreck it too much because its where my dad works and we're gna film on a sunday and their back in on the monday lol

wow some of this stuff is awesome - if i cud get my head round 3d it would be so cool, but im too dumb lol

Wicked stuff people, the Ice freeze effect was so kool!

yeah, post it on maj,
UFP lol, we do come away from shoots smelling of lavender and ylangylang! but its worth it in the end. . . i think

Jujistu isnt really that martial arty - not like kung fu or tae kwon do. It teaaches street self defence, striking with power etc. So its not like flying kicks and fairy cr**

yeah i think ill do something like that, if i have the first shot of him falling on it with a normal table, then where I kick the leg out, ill saw the legs and glue them, and on the leg i kick out ill cut it twice (at the joint and where im gna kick) and see how it comes out

Well i kinda do some choreography, Im just kinda askin what you guys would consider funky in a fight?
(totally throwing out realism)

i dont want it to be too martial arty. . . I do Jujistu so Im going to bring in elements such as blocking, possibly some throws, and locks. . . Im thinking more along the lines of: http://www.transporter2movie.com/trailer/clip02.html <<that My first location is in a print factory/office. Im thinking...

For this new movie I am making I want the fights to look really snazzy (kinda transporter stylee)

I have some ideas for like neck snaps, power punches, combos and use of environment etc.

But do you guys have suggestions on "Cool" moves/sequences?

well ive never used Baby Powder, only Talcon Powder or Flour (flour didnt work very well), so all I can suggest really is experiment, play around with what works and what doesnt

Use unlubricated condoms, they burst alot easier

thats a good idea, but, i now wna try something a bit more technical: Guy1 Punches Guy2 Guy2 falls onto this table on his back, Guy1 kicks the back leg out the table, Table legs collapse and the surface slides off and hits the floor, Guy2 in lotsa pain:D i can only think of sawing the legs and wood ...

Basicallt what I want is just a table, like a picnic table kinda size, I want a guy to get punched on and the legs fall away and the top "slides off" and it all collapses

hmmm, im just worried about hurting the . . .
thanks:D

=JDL=: Well on some of them we set it up so a person onscreen could explode it, eg a ground hit wee set up a tripwire effect, the running shot we had a massive long string and the guy behind me with the gun was holding it and it exploded when i got a certain distance. On other ones, we just extended...

Hi,

do any of you know how to make a breakaway table with everyday objects?

I want one that when someone gets hit they fall onto it and the legs collapse (so its not like going through the table)

Cheers

By the way, Im xander-prd

well the string dusnt show up that well on camera, we used blue nylon,but are going to use fishing wire, which is practically invisible on film. I was going to use thread but it wasnt strong enough

ebay, dollar stores and fancy dress shops.
