Maybe do a search for 'fake dollar' or something?

Apart from the auto exposure etc, that panning shot looks amazingly professional!

Would be nice if you posted a link.

EL-OH-EL.

I suffer from a similar thing. But what usually happens is that we cut it a lot shorter against our will, and it turns out better

Looking good though!

Not sure if it needs to be 4 minutes long. Even scanning through the whole thing over 5 seconds shows a lot of similar shots

And if you're feeling half arsed, just chromakey out the black or white, instead of the green or blue

(although I imagine the results aren't too fantastic)

Not so easy now Camclub hates me!

Although I've been rejigging the website so it's just a case of finding alternate hosting now

www.creativecow.net has some great stuff. I should have said that before when I mentioned Video CoPilot but cheers anyway :) http://prolost.blogspot.com/2007/07/color-makes-movie.html http://eugenia.blogsome.com/2007/08/08/color-grading-tutorial/ http://youtube.com/results?search_query=color+gradin...

Yeah sorry, the nozzle. Your hose idea might work (dunno why you'd need to have it coming out of the sprayer) however!

The only other way I can think of (which is probably how they do it in the movies) is by attaching a vomit-filled tube to some form of compressed air

If you take the spray off you get a nice constant flow! We used it for this sketch (which you probably shouldn't watch if you're a young'un or afraid of man love) <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DlgasM65SQs"...

For some reason my playback on After Effects has slowed down. I think it's an option I've changed rather than a hardware problem, because I'm still using the same hardware which works fine in other programs I've upped the RAM for playback and lowered it to no affect. I've also played around with the...

Anyone have any good sites that'll give me tips on grading stuff?

I'm a bit bored of my usual looks

The bleaching one on Video CoPilot was good, so more like that

Ha ha!

I've been after 'Rebel' for years but whenever I have money I forget about it

Great find! Thanks!

I use it a lot. Not for editing but I usually grade and deinterlace in Vegas before editing in Premiere (just force of habit really)

I also use it for rendering to different formats (like Quicktime or PAL-NTSC-PAL for our John Bunnell sketch)

Alright then, ANY camera wouldn't pick up the fine drops ;) There's a difference between cameras and eyes, and usually an effects artist would go about making effect shots look like they were shot in camera. Motion blur is applied to effect shots because cameras pick up motion blur (thanks to them w...

It's 25 for PAL versions, and 24 for NTSC. I wouldn't get the HV20 over the HC7 based solely on 24p mode, though. Firstly, you have to have a software that can handle a 24p timeline/workflow. I also read that a lot of people are having problems with the 24p mode on the camera, doing the 3:2 pulldow...

I think the only giveaway is the fake snow, which is nearly spot on anyway! I'd blur the snow that's close to the camera because a DV camera would never pick up fine drops in front of the camera like that I'd also limit the snow to the odd flake as you're in the forest! Just a hint of a falling flak...

Realistic would usually be probably just a hint of yellow, a hint of saturation and the blacks 'crushed' ever so slightly (maybe using curves to bring out the mid tones a bit) Now add a dash of story and place it in the oven for 15 mins. at 350 Ha ha! This post is one of my top ten posts of all tim...

wow, im surpriesed how little interest ive gotten on this Well, we're all in the same boat pretty much. We all like doing our own thing, and we all like seeing people do their own thing. I don't come on here to go "Hay guys lol, does anyone want to see me make a film?", I make my own stuf...

I thought my surname was bad!

Although I do have a friend called John GayBlackVicar not really.

No, its a proper channel 4 TV program.... That's network TV. Please remember that not everyone lives in the UK, Pete1234 ;) Saying that though, if you were filming something for network TV, why are you building a crane when you could rent one? (This isn't me being a peni5, just asking!) In regards ...

Another thing I find quite odd is that LP tapes have a harder time playing in cameras that aren't the one the footage was recorded on...
