Well It wasent planned because its a montage of stunts from diffrent movies. and your the first person to say they didnt look painful! there not painful, thats the whole idea of being a stuntman :-) but each to their own I suppose. alot of it is in gardens because thats what is in the movie. but wha...

Ok heres a tutorial I wrote a few weeks back that some of you may find useful!: INTESTINES!

Lol well unfotunately the water is full of cr** and I didnt plan on dropping in, but if i can find some cleaner stuff, I'll do a higher fall into the water just for you :-) Im trying to get hold of some old footage of me doing a car gag but the college are messing me around with it. it was cool. I b...

Thats cool man but remember, you cant out do a trained stuntman, its just stupid, so be careful, each of those stunts where planned and prepped for, there compiled from a long list of films and productions so I didnt take my camera into the garden and think 'boy i think ill do a stunt video', yaknow...

Looks like things are looking up!:

Dude, tint it, it dosent take 5 mins to render, play around with contrast and brightness, save 7 quid for the lamp and 3 quid for the plastic or paint the bulb, what the hell is so wrong with that???? and heres me worrying about how to show someones brain being pulled from their head for my new movi...

Ok well I kind of agreed with you too, but that was a rushed job, but you gotto remember something, every art director wants something diffrent, mine is over the top because if you see some of them, they barely resemble the origanals! but I see where your going with it, I just think that calling us ...

Ok well you asked for it, I quickly wipped up these things, and they arent great as It was rushed, but just to show you that its not hard when you know how:

Oh Jeeeeze, this guy just dosent get it does he??? I have done professional re-touching. Yes I have retouched my own home photos but thats not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about models for magazine covers. taking away like 10 years of ageing. how can you say that all art dosent become easy wi...

wow, calm down mate! You gotto remember that retouching is hard on diffrent levels. no one is a 'moron' if they think its simple. Its easy when you know how, just like anything else really. you have to do different things for diffrent results. that example on the site is good but its a little extrem...

Get yourself a 500watt halogen light, I got mine and it cost 7 pounds. Then get some hard tinted plastic to put over it, cheap and effective. we only need one halogen lamp its so damn bright. hope this helps!

Retouching is very simple, alot of the stuff you see on magazines are all about hiding blotches and spots. its simple, sometimes you take a tiny part of the face that is spot free and cover the spot with it, sometimes its more difficult, like hiding small hairs by cloning other sections. alot of it ...

isnt this already a movie????

http://www.enriquepuertas.com/wp-content/files/vdownloader.zip try that, very handy. Allways back up everything. If your editing make sure you have at least 2 external drives or so. Also back them to discs too. Youtube compresses it so when it comes back at you in avi format, its not gonna be as goo...

I agree with Epsilon, Studying is great, do both for sure. I did A Levels in Film and Media, very helpful and handy, but ultimately got boring and seemed limited at times. The qualifications can help you, but ultimately its the knowledge that helps you, however you gain it. Do some courses, to say y...

I have a method that elliminates this problem. Hire actors who are professional enough and have friends who are true friends and wont let you down, simple as that. I never get this problem, mainly because I make sure I envolve myself with really cool people, not a bunch of fools. but you could try m...
