Rhys, if your still interested in the decapitation thing, it is quite simple. Have your actor stand in front of a green screen and just wrap your actors head in a green clothe and key it out with an overlay of the same back ground on top. Never tried it but thats what they pretty much did in Jeepers...

43. Ripping music from soundtracks.

I know making music is hard adn we all have done this but at least everyone should try one film with their own music.

Kentertainment wrote:I'm gonna have a buddy of mine do some of the music but with school starting in August we're only going to have the weekends to do music...plus I want it to be good. This time I'm going to actually record it in a studio, likely for free too

SpyHop?

When do you plan on starting production?

Tell us what you are looking for. Is it a comedy you want or an action movie?

Sounds good Kenny. Are you going to keep the other ideas in your vault for later or jsut chuck them out?

Thanks for the comments. I did this to see how well I could portray symbolism with little to no info. The shakyness was because I was holding the gun and the camera at the same time going down the gun. My camera's zoom function seemed to seize up when I tried to film so I got stuck with just steppin...

Hey I did this just to test a few things. Now before It goes under the knife, let me tell you I am the actor for every shot, I also filmed every shot except the park scene. This was not meant to be a film jsut a little test.

Lawrie, I have always believed that you knew what you were talking about but you enjoyed to rub it in. So, when I started to read this thread, i started by thinking "Here we go agian." But after I read it I started thinking and began to realize that I make a lot of those mistakes. So I wen...

I started filming but I only have shots of a 270 rifle and a 30' 06' rifle so give me a few more weeks to get some more.

I have a couple but I will write you one if you have an idea. I get paid for that.

Do something wit light. Like a gun that has a very hgh intensity light beam that turns on when you pull the trigger and it has a magnifying glass type thing at the end, so you pretty much burn whoever your shooting at.

Freed, everyting you jus said has already been discussed, before. Did you even read the other posts? Or did you just watch it and try to make your self look smart by looking for everything wrong?

Zacatac927, give me your email and I will send it to you. It runs about 25-30 pages. but yo can out a lot of the story and such without damagin it. I'll even re-write it to your specifications.

I am suprised that nobody mentioned this (well I dont think they did, I got tired after reading 45 posts) but there was no gun recoil. toward the end (around, maybe a bit before, the guy got hit in the leg, there were a few shots of the soldiers firing. The guns hardly moved and some of the sounds ...

I've got one about an American Patrol taking an outpost. Theres more to it than that, but depending on the length you want I could cut it down.

I'm filming at my work ina few day. An out door swimming pool. It's a chase through theback rooms with the pumps and ends with a fight on the high dive.

It looked good, you just need to mess around with the colors a little. If you pause and look down at his hands on the desk, they are green. So, keep it up and just mess around a little.

What do you mean? I had no recoil on the gun, the gun is a cheap, plastic 007 toy one. What do you mean not many guys have shot one? Cheers for the reply I meant when he recoils back with the pistol. A pistol recoils up. Not many people have shot a pistol so they wouldn't know how it recoils. Good ...

Looked realy good. THe only thing I saw were the bullets flying past the screen. I wold just drop those. The pistol recoil was,.....iffy but hey, not many guys have shot one so, great joob. 8:10.

And I also got a little confused, I was sure that at the beginning of the film the white car picked up the two US soldiers, but then the same car came back at them after the car chase with the bad guys in. About the car. (It was mine, piece of junk too, died shortly aftere filming.) We were gonna u...

Thanks everyone. About the NCO, I had the helmet stripe backwards when I filmed thinking that he was really the officer. Then Gyro informed me I had it switched.

Sounds great! Do you plan to film this, and if so when?

Well I had no choice of actors, this was THEIR English project so THEY had to be i it. I kept telling them to get their friends to come and be Germans and only one kid brought hs 12 year old brother. Thanks for the comment about the zooms. I am relatively new to the actually ilming bit. (I normally ...

Thanks, like I said, I had one day to film and two days to edit. This is my first attempt at a "real" movie. So any other comments?

All right. I got a call from one of my friends and he needed to do a movie on a chpater out of Ernest Hemingway's book, "For Whom the Bell Tolls". I told him great and asked when it was due. So, to make a long story short I had 3 days. So it is rushed and not quite accurate in all areas, m...
