MattHawkins Online - Film Making Forum

Someone said to post some stuff... Iv'e been busy at work but anyway I was watching XMen 3 and x files the other day... i dont know why but i was noticing especially in xmen that small objects and subtle cgi was used for some of the effects that altered the environment. So i was playing around and a...

dude... i already told you how to find alternative sites...

Google It you moron.

howabout putting all the sounds in a zip and hitting the rapidshare website for all the people wanting the sounds... eg me

I have lots of issues... unfortunately none about the technology involved in the streaming media and most about the morons on the site. ergo the shirtless comment.

stock footage doesnt exist in film making... if you need footage or a cutaway you need your second unit to go film it. since your obviously nowhere near that sort of professionalism ill give you some tips. theres no such thing as free stock... if you use ANYTHING and i mean anything without the perm...

do all youtube videos need kids with no shirts on or is it just me?

lol your blood is made of smoke the thing id actually like to take the opportunity to say was really impressive was the use of sound design. a real movie uses sound effects or foley for freakin anything you can see in a shot a cat will meow a boot will walk on gravel etc etc. cept for that shotgun s...

I really love how drugs are portrayed both on television and in movies... It's funny how even a little bit of reefer will make you hallucinate and go crazy, when the worst thing weed can do to you is make you so tired you pass out. There has NEVER been a case where the active drug in marijuhana kill...

its a floating mirror whats meant to look real? seriously it was a test of the animation, endomorphs and dynamics. if i wanted to make it look like an actual mirror i would have... seriously why does everything in here need to be an exact clone from a movie??

mirrors are purely reflective and pretty boring... so i just gave this material a little reflection some spec and bump properties... im working on a composite today where i reach into a tv instead of a mirror

explosions dont happen in space... do something less hollywood

Yeah the one from that movie with that dude that was in that movie about a telephone booth and napolean...

non cg techniques... Take some photos of the balls and in photoshop save each ball with transparancy and import to after effects... in after effects use animation controls to animate ball paths... use random spinning and motion blur to mask the idea that it is a static image. OR Lock down the tripod...

your lights fade out instead of just cutting out like they should.... also they would go out in grids instead of just randomly all over the place... nice try but not very believable

Poser 6 is basically a character animation program. Everyone who says it is cr** should think again, i mean sure it is for newbs but way back when poser 3 came out i baught it and it took me on a journey to where i am now. modeling and rigging my own characters. It teaches you some basics that are t...

does it stain? thats the only thing i hate about most fake blood.

most rediculous waste of internet video ever... and its not just you. look at youtube and myspace.

just goes to show you how crappy something comes out if you put no effort and work on it for 5 seconds... this isn't a stab at you most the people around here do the exact same thing allll the time. Claiming it as a test is the easiest way to say you were lazy. That's why you have to slave over it l...

hey it was the 60's... i was in college... everyone was doing it.

Underworld 2?

lol you wanna make a movie not like other movie but its all about weapons and combat? nice try but you wouldnt get my 9$ for a ticket

lol you filmed glass on a black background? so you got black footage with some reflections going over it now and then? can't you just fake reflections in AE and not worry about footage. im sure with some creative thinking you can dirty the glass and make it a little bit convincing

this isnt a weapon thread... its more about the ideas of how the weapon works and the visuals and what would look really freakin cool on camera. I personally had an idea of grenades and little proximity sort of devices that future spies or vigelanties would use. Like a pure metallic ball that you ro...

hey guys i just got this new job that is kicking my a**. all this 3d previz stuff is making my computer cry. Anyway what i wanna talk about is something i wanna do for fun. All these gun tests and gun bullet tests and guns guns guns. what i want from you guys is ideas... ANY ideas of other weapons. ...

you all call yourself film makers but how come noone noticed he walks from camera left to right... then it cuts to him walking right to left immediately after... BIG FAT NO NO.... You NEVER do that or cross the imaginary line.
