Haha jeez Mike.. You didn't think of that did you? 100 cameras just out of nowhere..

Thank you dude but I think 99% of the members allready knew that..

Whoa, a little harsh with the HDRI there but quite neat slowdown on the braking glass.

Great Matt! That stuff is really helpful. Now delete this post so we wont have to see these same explosions used in every amateur movie around!

Plastic explosives (or any other really, as long as they are strong) under a bucket/cannister with a maximum of 10liters should give you a hell of an explosion. Safety distance: 100 meters You'll need an electric fuse I guess..

Well.. There's nothing called 3d Video Studio Max. It's called 3d Studio Max. And 3d studio is better. Animation Master is more for rigging characters and such, 3d studio is far more usable. It does almost everything in one strong program. Plus the rendering possibilities is far better. But if you w...

What kind of formats does Lightwave read? Only .lwo?

Much better looking than my old crappy version But one thing.. it seems to have a weird bend at the middle going through the entire weapon..

Step 1. Get one of those "burkhas" (carpets over the face) that muslims wear to cover up their faces. This if for not being recognized as a homosexual. Step 2. Enter the fabric shop and find a material that does not reflect much light at all and is clear blue, darker is better then bright....

This is just a small logo animation thing I made for some friends of mine. You wont understand the meaning of the text (it's in norwegian). But it says. 1. We put our heads together 2. And bring the idea to life. 3. Creative - Multimedia creations (the name of the "company") I used After ...

I think Im going to use my trash can (25cm diameter) and fill it up with explosives and 1 liter of fuel in a plastic bag. That's going to blow up like hell! right?

ScheiBe!!

Yeah it will probably work.. Just don't scale it more then 20% so you don't loose to much quality and it will be great

That looks very good! But I think you should keep the falling "numbers" animated moving towards the camera still when the title appears.. It looks kind of odd when it all just stops suddenly. Anyways, did you do this in 3d or did you composite it all together using after effects/combustion...

Ornsack you just destroyed my image in my head telling me how you look with that new avatar

Ive always thought of you as that freaked out twisted screaming face with ornsack written on the side, the avatar you used to have..

The most common way of editing in Premiere is just leaving the clips in one single large file. I find it quite easy to navigate this way, some dont.

Always glad to help

This is a really great thing to start out with! I just urge to pick out those full frames and morph between them with Elastic Reality which is far more accurate then Winmorph and put it together again in premiere. It will look so much cooler.. I think I have to try it out, just to have a look..

My choice for internet filmclips:

Quicktime .mov with Sorenson 3 codec.. I get great results

I think you just didn't get it. Every single person Ive talked to that didn't like the movie had not understood the whole thing when I asked them to check..

Go here and maybe you'll understand how brilliant it is: Internet Movie Data Base, look up the matrix reloaded forum..

That effect used in the Mel C video is really quite poorly done. I've just seen it and i thought it sucked a**! They had cut out the water wrongly and I remember seeing the edges of the keyed away color and the camera moved a bit (still on a tripod) but the frozen frame didn't so it looked awkward..

I found a "new" tutorial for you bullet time horny matrix people!

This is the link.

[tutorial is for 3dsmax]

Yeah what the f*ck is that?.. Stupid rabbit thing..

Im absolutely no expert on make-up effects. But still, what if you use ornsack's method with cornflakes only without the colouring to create the shape of the scar. Then you let it fully dry for aprox. fifteen minutes. And finally you make a girl (or gay) cover it up with skin coloured make up. I thi...

Exactly

No.. But that will kinda work aswell... Only you will get a clip to import that is 10 seconds long at the end :D Listen, it's easy: Import frame 01, and morph with 02 (also imported), then export as avi or whatever. Then import frame 02 (again) and frame 03. Morph them. Export as avi.. Then import 0...
