I have to say, i recently shot on HDV using the Sony Z1P and althought ulitmately in the end your reduced to bringing the quality back to DV (as what's the point in exporting to HDV when most tv's can't play it yet) i think it still retains a bit of it's edge, some of it's colours. A friend of the w...

sweet thanks for that

Anyone know where to get this stuff?

Rodrieguez uses it in Sin City so they could turn the blood to white in post, he in his 15 minute flick school that they used Fluorescent red blood and then they bathed it in black light.

thanks smokeythebear that'd be great

Unfortunately i'm going on holidays for two weeks as of later today but when i'm back we can organise that chat.

You can e-mail me at stevetrevaskis@gmail.com and when i'm back i can reply and we can organise a chat

cheers

ok thanks bocca!

So i pressume i need a bottle of liquid latex right?

Know of any pages that give step by step instructions on how to use Liquid Latex?

Like to definately experiment around with it, how do you think i would put a blood pocket behind it though? that bit has got me buggered.

Sorry to re-post this but i think i initially posted it in the wrong section, to any admin please delete the other post if you wish.. I want to re-create this effect that i cut myself while shaving, much like Scorsese's short film The Big Shave, i'm sure it's not that hard but i guess i just need to...

does anyone have any ideas on how they did this effect? The blood coming out of the razor? Did they have a tube attached to the razor with blood in it? I have to know!

thankyou!

yeah exactly, within scenes, for different angles of the same scene. where would one get a photographic light reader? might be out of my league and budget i feel, i was thinking more keep a count on how many lights are used and make sure the same amount of lights are used in any different angles of ...

Has anyone on this board got any experience on this and perhaps might be able to give me a few pointers? A few people so far have enlightened me a little on what i have to do etc taking pictures and writing down a lot of details about what happens in each scene. I have found a few continuity forms t...

Not long ago i made this silly little short of myself shooting myself which i called 'Shooting Myself'. Which you can download here.. www.electrique.com.au/shortfilms/ I showed it to all my mates at work and a lot of them said i should enter it into a short film contest, i said i couldnt because the...

I'd just like to thank people that submitted their scripts, the number of people has been overwhelming! At this stage i'm realising i'm not going to have time, you are quite welcome to keep submitting me any scripts if you wish but with my schedule ahead tropfest is out so think it will be easier to...

yeah cool right heaps more i say

Yeah send me that action script super trunk! And as for the one you just sent me Vor, i think it is just a tad short, i liked where it was going and it was starting to get interesting and then it just suddenly ends, what is the whole idea, to document donnie and jaques desperation to get money and t...

I'm a filmmaker looking to make a small short film for tropfest, there isn't a lot of time left so i'd be interested in any scripts that aren't over 10 pages. Probably around 5 or 6 pages would be ideal. Also not too many Locations. Whether your a proffesional script writer, someone who has just com...

not replyin too shoes question, is off topic and silly..if you want to know something stupid like that message me privately. well do the proffesional light barn doors get hot? It's been a while since i used one (when i did my video production course 8 years ago) Well i guess they can get hot too a d...

Has anyone done this before? I cant afford proffesional lights ie redheads. So i bought two 500 watt halogen garden lights from Bunnings (Australian Hardware store) with stands. However to direct the light i want to try and make some barn doors for them like proffesional lights have, also so i can a...

ok i know this is a real real old post, and forgive me for pulling it out of the archives but i really couldnt help myself being the matrix fan i am...his name was NEO..not NERO..and Nero does do some burning on my computer actually, quite a handy burning software :P LOL anyway i am just starting to...

yeah i thought of that idea the other day! Told my mate and he knows a mate who owns a warehouse so is going to ask him, i think something like that will be our solution.

Go here and see the things i have made :) www.electrique.com.au/shortfilms/ They are all mostly experimental things, nothing i would actually call 'short films' yet but i'm me and a mate are planning to make something soon which will rock your socks off! I made 'shooting myself' the last few days, i...

Well i'm not exactly sure, i was thinking like down an alley way, but doesnt have to be, somewhere where there is a lot of obstacles, places to hide..it's just that gun laws are so strict in australia..anything that looks remotely realistic is banned and against the law..so i cant go running around ...

Me and a mate have come up with an idea and i'd like to start writing a script for it as soon as possible but the location is sort of important to the idea, the idea mostly involves a firefight between two guys, so i plan to have a lot of guns and make it entertaining...in my mind i have an idea of ...

I'm an ex PC user and Premiere user but recently bought a PowerMac G4 off ebay and plan to do my video editing on that now with Final Cut Pro, so i'll keep you posted with what i think..

I think it should be fine, though i think the key is it's ability to co-operate with 2D FX and 3D FX programs.

If there has been plenty of topics about this in the past then what do i search for? What word? I have looked high and wide for how to do this on the net but havent found anything, i searched 'ejecting' on here but found nothing. I went through the first 10 pages of this part of the forum and found ...

How do they do this effect? You know like how at the end of Desperado Antonio suddenly has two guns come flying out of his sleeves and he shoots Butchos. And in equilibrium with Christian Bale he does it quite often. Is it some spring loaded device they have in their arms? Anyone got any clues on po...
