In the mold makers handbook I saw a tutorial on this. It had something like layers of liquid latex on the bottle then a 2 part plaster mold around that so you could easily pour andremovie it, rent the book sometime.

I live very close to this area (where the Pilgrims discovered America) and see many tourists there which makes me want to make a short about them. - ballcap - camera around the neck - hawaiian shirt - sandals (with high socks) - maybe khaki shorts Can anyone help me add to my list for the costume of...

Come to the US so DEDFX can make a cameo appearance.

yeah send us those plans

What camera is it, hope its not AVCHD.

I'd say to use your own techniques, make some up along the way. It will give you your own style instead of having people directing it for you.

Is the movie serious or do you like to run around with a camera with a sped up voice?

You want to become a vampire, stuntman, dramatic actor, oh RHYS....

I have a D8 handycam and theres really no difference between it and miniDV except D8 cameras are usually of lower quality but the tapes aren't as expensive as mini.

wow it sounds like this might actually happen

I'm pretty sure I'm filming most of it but I'd think you would need the actual boat for a 3d rep of it sinking.

ok thanks guys

So I'm pretty sure I'm buying the HV-20 and have noticed it has a mic input, not XLR just regular mic. I don't know how to buy a microphone for this, do I search for a camcorder mic with what kind of cable? I'm confused

Pretty good

Looks good, only thing I didn't like were the 2 hits the girl gave to the car, looked to me like dust somehow came off.

Did you also use a consumer miniDV and fix the look in AE?

Yeah, I'm using FCP5 which I'm pretty sure will work with it. The "running shutter" is barely visible unless you put the camera on something that vibrates, and the 1/2.7 CMOS sensor is said to be like 3 CCD's.

There's been some flack on the moving shutter, this is the only thing that's driving me away from it, doe you know what I'm talking about?

There's also many people comparing it to the HC-7, making me not know what to get, does anyone know which whould be the better buy?

I've been looking for a new camera for a year now and have found the Canon HV-20, does anyone know if this is a good choice for $1,000?

I don't think finding a cheap one is a good idea nor is making one, I'm pretty sure you can't buy it anywhere legally because it could give you an advantage against armed policemen.

Nice work in post

I went to Google and searched for "anyone know of a website were i could find a wide angle lens for a Sony PD-150" But hey I got 169 results, probably more than you'll get here.

The VX2,100 is around $2,100 ironically...

Anywho I'm not buyning the cam, I'd rather get an Xl1-S.

so apart from bestpricephoto...

Is my deal a deal or no deal...?
