Precisely.

One thing is that it it's a freeweb. I suspect a lot of people of were put off by the freewebs bit of it. OK: -I'm not sure about the 'Cat C Productions' logo. A bit basic, a bit boring... -Also why is the page title '|'?? -Although it is quite a nice homepage it is bland and quite boring...Maybe a ...

Lol. It is true.

The image (the Caduceo) is:



or this...which basically just a different version (technically the star of life)...

The twin towers and their econmy were more valuable than the oil. The US econmy almost comletly crashed when the twin towers got hit. Plus the twin towers themselves and their iconic presence.

Yeah that is tough. Err...can't really help. I suppose you could add some sort of kinda colour correction...

I think he is trying to achieve a shot of some one falling to the ground, like they'd parachuted down. But obviously he can't actually make them drop all the way.

America does manage to come up with literally tens of thousands of conspiracy plots. Quite frankly why would he government attack its own buildings and hugely damage the econemy? Ah well...I suppose people can believe what they want.

Thank you angusware..that was zactly what I was talking about. That's really usefull.

yeah you need quick shots, rapidly changing. Fighting in real life is completly different from fighting in films, as I'm sure you know. Fighting in films is often a very slow place, especially if you have only one camera. You have to stop, film one shot, then another and so on. Maybe a close up of b...

Yah, it was obvious this film was not in the middle of a battle. One simple tihng your friend could have done was added a load mroe of sound effects with a lot of voloume, maybe the camera shaking in time to some explosion sound effects? Seriously a good sound scape and maybe a bit of colour correct...

Also this could be used for some nice fake helicopter shots, massive horizons or sky shots. And yeah maybe an army/riot uncover shot? In Team America they madea lot of sets on their sides etc. and they used things like 40ft cranes to get something more like 250ft (because of the scale) thort everyon...

Ywah and there are backgrounds as well.

Lol. Also I thought of something, offer 20p/c (depending on your country) to anyone who helps you out/joins your crew.

yeah, be very careful when doing films based on/around recent events especially one like that. And yeah, it looked like you were trying to make it funny but poecing it together like an action/drama thing which can really confuse the viewer. Also, yeah, I mean all I know from that trailer is that the...

No. Urm...I don't know how to descirbe it really, but basically it was a page where you entered a domain ad then submited it to Google.

abusive motivation?!?...social services... 641st post! yay

Yeah effects wern't great at all. And thte music wasn't great quality and maybe not the best choice. Now before I comment anymore, and this isn't meant to be an insult just a question: is it a comedy? Sorry if it isn't I'm just asking that because especially with the first one it feels like a sorta ...

If you go into LiveType go to "Objects" on the right hand side and then from the drop-down menu select either Digital or Space and it's in there.

Urm someone (I can't remember who) gave me a link to this Google feature which allows you to submit a site free to google which adds your site to the google search engine. I've forgotten the link does anyone have it? I've tried searching the forum but it didn't work, cause i couldn't remember which ...

Find the Adobe resource files (I think) that's where stuff should be located and if it's not there you're in big s***. If you have it legally you could try re-installing AP failing that ring up Adobe and ask them.

Right...first you need wormhole footage. I'm presuming you have FCP legally so you'll have LiveType with it. LiveType is meant for title sequences but has a wormhole effect in it. You can use that. Now you want someone to fall into the wormhole? I suppose you green/blue screen them falling backwards...

If you're using a crane you'll need a lot more. How about a clapperboard dude, if you're using one? Depending on the size of your film you may have a Head of Staff/Stagemanager who bosses everybody about and tells them where to go. ON a small movie though you can get away with one crew member (memor...

Lol. Yeah. Hell depending on how far you wanna go you could find, maybe a local drama school (this is for actors and crew I suppose) and ask if anyone wants to get involved in a film infront or behind the Line. Leaflet your school / other schools. Offer a free lunch.

Yes it was good but yeah I think for that particular style/look you were going for you should have a tripod. Hell you should definetly own a tripod so you have the choice of having a movie hand-held-ed or tripod-ed.

Thank you.
