Yeah, that is horrible. Safety is a definate when around pyrotechnics. I don't think any amatures should be using explosives. Amature really means you are just unknowlegable, or inexperienced in a subject. If you want to blow something up, study it first. By then, you shouldn't be an amature. Always...

Personally, I don't like the blur. It's all your choice as the editor. I would definately adjust the contrast, gamma, alphas, and brightness. Play around with deinterlacing you footage. Experiment around until you get what you like. Once you are able to adjust it so it looks like film, you will be t...

The biggest thing for realism are the small details. Have insignia in their correct places. Be sure to have all the neccessary insignia. Write little messeges on clothing. Scar a helmet, wrinkle everything, and have them give nicknames to everything. Make sure they know how to wear the equipment, bu...

Oh really? It seems my problem is the other way around, haha! Everyone's the expert, but we still lack the actors! Try inspiring them to help out. Assign them all jobs that sound Important.

If you are really having that much trouble, just skip after effects and do it all in Premiere. I've made beautiful overlays in Premiere, probably due to wasting time making tons of 6 second tests. But it will all pay that one day I decide to make my big hit film! I will post a couple of my tests one...

good tip: if there is frost on the lens, then it is too cold. :) But seriously keep your camcorder free from moisture. Treat it like your child. Keep it in its case when not being used. If it is snowing, you should buy or build a device to go around the camera and lens to protect it. Whatever you do...

I know this is really off topic, but thinking about ghosts, I just got this wierd idea. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, what if the nazis brought the Ghostbusters along to take care of that little ghost problem they had with the ark? That might make a really funny parody of the two movies. Haha! Oh... w...

The PAL standard is 25 fps. Like what Raptor said, the tripod is your friend. But don't limit yourself to only the tripod. Experiment with some methods of moving the camera around... good tip: unless you are making a documentary type film, NEVER shoot handheld!! Unecessary jerky camera movements wil...

I'm not going to stop you. I am just saying you guys need to think a little bit more safely. If you pull off some nice explosions while filming, be sure to post them. I would call the fire department and let them know you are using fire. Just a precaution, so they will be prepared should you decide ...

For one, you could take your footage and go into Premiere Pro. There, you could adjust anything you want to enhance it. I've done a series of short clips, and it seriously looks like film! It takes a lot of experimentation and time of get what you want, but it is really worth it! I would go with Pre...
