you cant really see the chain that much anyway especially on film. I've done shots with the chain off for wide shots, than switch to the chain on to show the blood flying for a closeup. (stuck the thing in a bucket full of blood). But in the actual edit when the chain is moving you cant even see the...

I have basicly started up a site for my next short film that is starting production next week. The site will have all kinds of updates like trailers and production pictures etc. This film actually is one of the largest productions I have going on and alot of near famous actors/rappers are in the mix...

it's better to be minors cause then your a** aint sitting in holding half as long.

I used to and still do this type of stuff and have seen my share of cops, and cruiser backseats.

I got around to putting my video files in one page. theres about 4-5 of them so yah it also gives a little backstory aswell.

yah no problem on that, I do understand what your saying and all. I am working on a more in depth film that focus's on why the guy is killing. (it involves governent conspiricy and lsd). The shakeyness and sephia tone was to show a drug trip and well I guess I need a lil more backround on this thing...

I really would like some comments, mostly on the second and third ones, because the first one is about 3 years old now.

Sadly I dont.
.Mov is all I got, all you need really is a new version of quicktime to view them though.

I'm hoping to set up some screenings of my weird a** films at local coffee shops, it seems like festivals up in her are hard to come by. Even though Minneapolis is a large artistic city it seems to have a lack of help for Filmmakers. Well atleast to me it does. Maybe there are Festivals I dont know ...

the above link does not work sorry

yep, this is the weirdest thing I have made in my life even weirder them woxomanablomo WOMB (witch was a fake ejaculation short). Its not really about Jesus its just a crazy 4 minutes and 23 seconds, that I made so I can gain access to checking cameras out again to make my serious film. (shooting th...

Yah its kinda the effect we where going for. And the wrestling outfit I have no idea. The guy playing Uranium Man was like I'll go put on my costume. Then he jumped out like that. I'm thinking of making more of these its fun as hell. We have ideas for Plutonium Man Vs. Uranium Man and other weird a*...

Of course it is I never talked about it but here it is.
It was originally a science class project but I took it over the top.

Pretty funny lil movie.

yah hope yah enjoy
I would also like comments.

thanks for the tips, the siloutte is gonna be pretty easy now that I think of it, I just gotta get the right style of blood and guts falling out of it. but thanks for the tip.

Ok here is the deal I start my shoot in less then a week, and am confused on some things but I know some of you have ideas that would work well here is the list of shots we dont have a good clue on how to do. Punching through a guy's head. A nice little piece where the main character sticks his hand...

I'm looking for good gun sounds basicly the actuall firing, and the support sounds (i'm drawing a blank and in a hurry). Basicly from Desert Eagle Mac 11 and an MP5, and any good sounding shotgun blast. Just need these sounds soon, and can't seem to find them myself(and yah). Also I would appreciate...

I'm just gonna test out the explosives on my own, since firecrackers and stuff are legal here I think it should work easily. About the saw, I've used chainsaw's in various little shorts and ahve alway's taken the chain off. But this time I'm going for a more physical style effect deal. When dealing ...

I dought it's gonna happen I only got about 100 gigs of bandwidth a month for my site.

120 would just eat away at it like a bastard.

maybe if I somehow get 1 TB then I'll do it but yah.

The head explosion is a closeup, it's a basic. shot of person walking to the other, other person fires there weapom, then show the bloody explosion. After wards we show the headless person falling to the ground fast. There is no actors around the explosion, we will proboloy keep a safe distance from...

I would like to know somethings considering safety, First off the explosives, my main reason asking this is I have a head exploding deal in my next little flick, and well we decided to use a pumpkin filled with the gory bits. And basicly blowing the mutha up, so what woulf be the best type of explos...

It's about nothing, basicly a spur of the moment type of thing. to me I liked it because it took less then 3 day's, and turned out ok. But compared to what I actually have been producing for the last 3 months (whew only 5 more months to go). This is cr**, but it aint apples to apples so thats why I ...

Could you tell me why it was boring?

It's not really an action movie though, infact I have no idea what cat. it lays in but yah... I would just like to know why.

Slab Cycle was the creation of me and a drifter named Josef (thats how he spells it). And we had the money and the ability to make something before he left. It's a silent movie running 16 minutes and yah, it was made in a total of 3 day's. 2 day's shooting and 1 day editing (though it may not look i...

those are all solid ideas. I was thinking of welding some sheetmetal and stuff to give it that thickness I want on the broad side of the sword. But that might be more of a hassle then I think. I am not worried about weight of the weilder because the character who uses it has possesed evil powers and...
