Take a look at this (from about the five minute mark). All this is going to be is fire back, move to cover. Best way to make it interesting: lots of bullet hits: things that look cool, lot of eye candy.

Sounds like it'd be kinda boring with just the three shooting at each other, especially if it's going to be drawn out over the length of a neighborhood. When I first saw the drive by, all I could think of is Smokin' Aces with the Tremors blowing away the bail bondsmen. What does the neighborhood loo...

Maj do you shoot it in 16:9?

Yea, but I usually over squeeze the footage to give it a more anamorphic look.

I usually throw it into AE and squeeze it myself until it looks good.

Can I use my dad's 35 mm macro lens from his SLR camera?

I doubt it, I thought about doing that with mine, but looking through the lens you can't see anything. So I doubt your camera will see anything either.

This looks horribly fake for some reason (I know it's not, but it has a very surreal quality). This is at it's lowest I've seen $799. (iFocus 35mm Adapter for DVX100A) <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f5AEcPWtUgI&...

More or less the characters grow, and the audience can connect, etc. Read through them, it's pretty interesting.

If you want to make sure, just run it through Windows Movie Maker as an AVI NTSC or PAL what have you.

If it's AVI, then yea, it should work.

No I don't mean 3D graphics or anything. A three dimensional character in a story. I've been really just writing alot of scripts and short stories lately. Anyways, I was reading the script for Smokin' Aces, and I remember seeing the comment from someone saying that the characters were all two dimens...

Oh my God that was awsome! It looked fake, but damn it still looked good. Just minus the flash. I love watching impact with that massive hulk of smoke. So amazing!

Great video. Blood is too watery.

The old one looks fine, I just think that last screen is overly saturated. The color correction looks perfect to me, why change it?

It looks like some futuristic laser rifle.

Thanks for the comments, shot on a cheap Canon Optura 50, no lenses. The initial idea was a short story I did back in 10th grade, then I just pulled it into a smaller scale about a week in advance. We never saw/filmed the house actually demolished, it was just half gone on the last day of filming, b...

Newest movie s***. DOT was about to knock down a fully funished house somewhere beyond my backyard, so I wrote up a script and dragged a bunch of people out there to film it: it took three nights, and the last night of filming we came back to see half of the house was knocked down. Lighting was just...

I think they pretend to like it.

Would be nice if they were pre cut up and thrown into a zip file.

Holy s***, this is a real thing! lol

I still can't get over the lack of a right mouse button, though. I use it so much in Windows!

They do sell mouses with a two buttons for Mac's, just have to find 'em!

I've been trying to get a good over the radio voice effect, and I've been doing a real crappy job of doing it. Anyways, I know you have to play around with the EQ and everythign, but I haven't made any progress.

Anyone can tell me where to set these controls at, or anything anything?

I enjoyed it, camera work was good (seemed very Children of Men in war-parts). I liked how the shutter speed was amped up right after the dining room table conversation, it really gave ita "boom in your face" feel.Dialogue seemed a bit blah, sounded too faked, or something along those line...

My dad got me alot of business doing commerical and other videos for small companies. The best thing to do is to make business cards: your name, what you do, and a link to your videos or website. Just hand them out, and you'll eventually get some business. Try Vistaprint.com , the cards are free (yo...
