Blurred Background

I want to achieve the effect used in high-budget movies, where the camera can focus in one on thing, and blur the rest. Such as a blurred background, with the focus of the camera on a person. How can I achieve this? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Lighting Help

I plan on making a movie that takes place during night, and indoors. Problem is: I can only film during day.

Can anyone help with any very low-cost lighting solutions?

Very cool, thanks for the info. I noticed you have a picture of a soldiers arm cut off in your Udds X production diary. Same method, I assume. It looks very nice.

Actually a hamburger is a good idea. :lol:

I made this one, however, out of styrofoam. I put some chocolate syrup/red food dye blood on the surface, and sealed it with syran wrap.

Thanks for the comments.

Leg Chop

I've been working on an effect where the foot is cut off, so I needed to make a stump for the cut off leg. This is what I made:

Clip Exporting Problem - Premiere

I applied a motion and blur filter to one of my clips. But when I go to export it, it will only export as the original clip, without the filters. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
