The sun??

yeh, i thought as much. I did that in after effects, where i blurred a duplicate, then masked around what i wanted to be in focus. Just thought maybe there would be some other way. Thanks for the reply.

okayokay! I won't get an ntsc cam. Thanks for the advice. Time to start saving some moolah.

oh btw, what time of compromises. Its just so damn tempting! Purely because of the price. If there are any major problems, then i will definatley not even consider, but if its something like a lower resolution, i am sure i can live with that. I am desperate for a camera because i broke two in a matt...

solthar, may i ask, how do you add depth of field in pre production? Because on one of your vids at nccinema, you decribe on how to get your unique look on nightcast, then you mention that you add depth of field and i was wondering how you do it. Oh and i am looking forward to the film. Keep up the ...

ok thanks a lot, really helped me out. Cheers guy and gal

Right. I live in good ol England and i am desperate for a new camera. Our format here is PAL, but i was wondering, if i were to get a NTSC cam, what would that stop me from doing? Would it only stop me from plugging the cam into my tv?

man that was f*** excellent work, well done. I loved the way the camera moved whilst the hand was going down the table. keep it up

nice one. cool to see someone filming sports. Here is a little trailer thing for my freeboard film: http://f4.putfile.com/videos/c9-17611334027.mp4

What i would do: I would film two cars, one going one way, then another car going the opposite way, (keep the camera still), then mask the two shots together so it appears that the two cars are going straight head on into each other, wait until the two cars are right in the middle of the screen, the...

Or have they......SNAP!!

well i just started making a short which features something of a decapitation. The way i am going to do it is film the body react, then film the head sort of, acting to fall. I will then mask the head on to the body and key frame the head to fall. I will show you the results as soon as i have finish...

Man that was fukkin awesome! I really enjoyed it. Well done, that was great. Inspired me to make a horror movie of my own. Really well made, great story, great acting, great everything. What camera were you using because it looked very nice. Well done again and i look forward to seeing more of your ...

HAHAHA, fukking hilarious man. That was great. "West Germany, Alabama" Check out this one:

Looking really good! £26 is quite a big amount for a DVD.......awww, i will quit my moanin, i will buy it eventually

ye, the second video is more steady. I have now posted that in my first post. What type of jib are you building?

haha, yeh it is quite hard to get a hang of, thats why i film whilst riding a skateboard

ooo i have a story. When i was working in macdonalds, this mother and son (both rather big) ordered a quarter pounder. About 5-10 minutes later, the mum came back up to the counter and said to me, " excuse me, this burger is raw". I had a look, and right enough, all the meat inside the bur...

Yeh, like i said, my handy work is absolute shite, so it isn't the best crane in the world, but i think the camera movements are a lot smoother in this video : Edit: Here is something i filmed yesterday. The full film will be finished in the next month. Click here to watch Freeboard By that time, i ...

With those picture, (the one with all the light rays seeping through the walls) i am sure you could create some great shots and make it real cinematic.

i was actually saying aliens of the top of my head, hence the question mark. I had no intention of 'imitating' a weapon that has already featured in great films such as the mummy. I am really, really, really sorry. (really)

Yeh, i will when i have time. It is rather shoddy and not the top of the line, but y'know, it gets the job done! There are many tutorials on the web, just search. I didn't actually follow one myself, but sorta looked at other peoples designs and hoped for the best....

Hahaha, that is soo cool. Man you had such amazing talent as an artist at such a young age!

Yeh it looks good, and interesting. I saw a very similar thing on TV, dealing with the fans of Star Trek.

It does look really good, and i will hopefully see the full thing soon.
