lol they used what ever they could find or rip. They understand editing quite well I think for their ages. They sourced all the material and did everything you see. I have basically only shown them how to use the interfaces of various app etc. I bring them up focusing on problem solving for themselv...

lol no problem. That is just off my head though so don't quote me on it

No pcs have been around since the mid 70s. From memory the Altair (something like that) was one of the first to be clasified as a 'pc'. The Apple 2 in 77 was the first major hit.

They were not impressed with the frame by frame saber animation though lol

A film my kids made by themselves lol. Using Lsaber for the effects. All their own work. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hHOY3LyNAcI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></par...

yep I am with you Epsilon. I would rather my cheaper to buy and cheaper/easier to update pc any day. Also I have more support and application access this way than if I went MAC. Nothing wrong with the PC interface! Explain to me what is wrong with it from an interface design point of view compared t...

Hello everyone, I have a quick little issue to resolve. At uni where I work they have Premiere Pro installed on a Windows XP machine. They do not have firewire though so USB is used for capture. Problem we have is that Windows recognises the camera but Premiere does not. Has anyone got any ideas? In...

These topics have been covered heaps in the past. I would do a forum search

You have to ensure also that the guy swinging it gives the impression of correct weight/momentum

That is also the way we survive

I think Tymek's comment is relevant and spoken from experience Rhys. You should saviour such experience.

No it was all planned with the location, pads, medical, trusted/experienced crew etc. I ended up having to do it 4 times to get the effect and then it was used for maybe a 2 second clip. My background is mostly live and stage orientated stunt work.

You have to be fit for many reasons. One to keep up with the pace and demands. Two to be able to physically take the punishment involved. Three it also helps recovery. just a few reasons. For one stunt I did where i was dragged behind a car for a few hundred metres at between 80-100kmph I needed to ...

Yes Tymek, you learn to appreciate pain. Not necessarily like it but you understand it more.

That's is what the guys here need to understand. You need to train, you need to be fit, you need to have courage and organisational skills beyond JACKASS, you need to commit and you need to be prepared to suffer the consequences.

How about a "TROY" like stand off where both sides send in their champions for a Yankee/Confederate show down?

I agree, a teaser usually contains some form of "hook" to entice interest

I still use at home premiere 6.5 because it is solid and does the job fine for me. I can update at anytime to Pro but I am happy with it

lol I also get all my software free due to work. All constantly updated also

Well it looks very expected. The stunyt looks somewhat in control. Editing and angles will fix this

not bad at all. At least he was wearing pads

I disagree Zac, to build anything substantial and life like it costs a heap.

Hmmm how about you go old school, get a real chair, pull it apart, weaken the joints, reassemble, put some pads on the actor and WHAM. Easy to do on any part except the head. Just dont use an old hardwood chair

true as soon as people see 'shaky' they shink unprofessional. I beg to differ if intended.

which is?
