I too am soon going to build a collapsable dolly (for easy transport) real soon. As for other equipment, the only thing i have used is a tripod and my steady surgeon-like hand. XD

and... OMG I WANT A JONY JIB! give it to me now. or death.

thats a big negative on the 16:9 i as of yet have not tried it. Recommended?

hey grant, i know ur out there... whats the laws about getting replica guns or air guns and the like into Aus?

looks awsome! kudos to you

My friend made a movie and he wanted to be bleeding from the nose and mouth. I used the unorthodox method and punched him square on the nose and straight into the jaw... got the desired effects! hurrah! but i got hit back when i hit him and didnt draw blood. I had to strike him 5 or 6 times... i did...

yeah the T3 crane was cool. I liked T2 the chase with the bad terminator in the truck chasing the punk kid and arnie saves him on the motercycle. Blues Bros and Blues Bros 2000 had awsome 500million car pileups ! Matrix reloaded was spiffy! 18 minutes long or somthing heh. However my all time favour...

Hey guys. its been ages since my last post, ive been pretty busy - holidays and the new school year (final year - yr 12). I am doing film for TWO of my courses, they are both major works. So since they are pretty major, i thought i better get started in Premiere for better results. Put simply, I am ...

:o ooooo cool. oh yeah one more thing, vamps are super human strength. And do zombies have a nasty habit of getting up even after being shot? I saw some zombie movie and a pair of legs were still wandering around with the spine sicking up out of them it was cool. I saw another movie where there was ...

ah pillows, the wonder protection!

if i can summon enough courage i might to the pillow thing in the back of a ute and film it... but i dont know if i wanna do that again! my mates are encouraging me... i might... we will see.

As simon said (get it... it is a joke...)

Simon says: what state are you in?

I thikn vampires are cooler than zombies. They are fast - not slow (as the general stereotypes of the undead go), some can fly, Dracula was the first vampire to turn into a bat, aside from the obvious weakness that they have (ie flame, sunlight, garlic, silver or holy items and wooden stakes into he...

Yes that is the one! the verigo effect! i couldnt htink of its name.

this thread could be better positioned in the editing thread if it is based around editing.

You guys know 'everyone loves raymond'? remember at teh start in the intro when raymond looks out the window and sees his parents coming across the road? When it cuts to his face it zooms in on his face and does a closeup, whilst the backgrounds zooms out so it emphasises more on his face and the fe...

can you moon walk?

the alternative to a treadmill or moonwalking (dont laugh at moonwalking, it is quite a serious comment if you can do it well it works good ) is having a room with all four walls covered in bluescreen and the man walks around in a circle while the camera man stays in the middle.

whoa. i started reading it and ran out of time. Once i get more time ill finish it off. so far so good methinks.

I have some terrible, terrible news. *hangs head low with hat off* The footage i filmed whilst dressed in pillows hurling around at 70km/h in a rickety piece of dump.... WAS BLURRED! it would appear i was travelling way to fast for the camera, and there would only be about 5 -10 seconds of actual go...

coool.

lol ahahaha!

i dodn't get footage of me but i got footage of the car chase. I assume you can hear me screaming or somthing in the tape though... soon to be edited out...

As for the trailer... welll we made this thing and were experimenting... and didn't htink of the obvious...
