You could just breathe out on a cold day.

OK, I'm done here...

Six inches of spinal cord! Bloody hell.

Anyway, thanks.

Hey, how would I go around having someone being impaled on a tall spike or pole that is sticking upwards, and it gone right through their abdomen? I don't need to neccesarily show them actually being stuck on the pole - just show them on it, about half way down.

Thanks,
Lee

Thanks guys.

Well, I used Firewire to put it on there.

As for the VCD, I don't have an outdated computer! lol

Hey Guys! I'm p****d off! Some time back I shot some test footage to practise editing on in Pinnacle Studio 8 (I will get something better soon) and quite recently, I transferred it onto the PC from my Digital 8 camera. I edited it successfully, with transitions, sound and trimming. When I was ready...

I seen The Hunted. I agree about the muzzle flashes.

WOW!

If you do not make a post after you attempt the scene we will know what has happened. LOL
Still, be careful and I would love to see the result.

OK, I'll still try it but in open space (but away from the authorities). Thanks guys.

Hi all! I heard some time back on here about caustic soda and aluminium reacting to produce hydrogen gas which is contained in a party balloon. The balloon is then lit and... BOOM! I wish to experiment with this at the weekend but I just want some advice and if anyone knows any risks involved could ...

Great effect is that, was used in Jaws and Godzilla.

One question... is it more like Premiere or After Effects if you had to choose a comparison.

Well, Premiere but way simpler and featureless. Like we keep saying, it is BASIC but good.

LOL, good stuff!

Anyway, I have Pinnacle Studio 8 and for the moment, it is alright for me as I don't want to go into complicated stuff yet -
it has a good variety of BASIC editing features.

Oh, I'd love that program, how much does it cost (GBP)?

I currently have Pinnacle Studios and it is not bad. It's good for basic editing, titles, trimming, music but don't use all them fancy transitions!

I hope to get a better editing program soon.

Don't get me started!

I suppose you could still use cereal for the crumbled remains on the grond, etc.

Use cereal for the building materials - that's what they did in Terminator 2 for the nuclear blast scene. Cereals break and crumble like brick and plaster so use things like Shredded Wheat, Corn Flakes or Weetabix.

Hey, thats great!

Hey, great greenscreen effect!

Well, I think a lot of people are looking forward to this movie, or even trailers and screenshots when you have made these gruesome effects. I know I am!

Don't I know it...

Damn, I love gore!

Yeah, I would like to find a way to do this - safe and effective.
