MattHawkins Online - Film Making Forum

I finally got around to watching this. I really enjoyed it: the shots were great, amazing use of depth of field, and great dolly shots (although at times a tad shaky). Acting, great. Sounds, were great (the car door seemed horribly loud to me). Music did seem amatuerish, but fit very well.

If your guy is getting shot in front of a wall, get a sponge and soak up fake blood. Then tape it to his back (make sure he wears a dark shirt), when he gets shot have him fly backwards into the wall which will cause the blood to fly all over the wall for a nice exit wound effect. Plus since it's a ...

See also Smokin' Aces for some impressive use of the .50 cal. I was looking for a good quality verison of it on youtube with no luck. I thought the coolest thing about that scene in Miami Vice was that the car being shot to bits was really being shot to bits by those Barrets, then composited people...

THIS IS NOT MY MOVIE

(Thinking this may impress people)

THIS IS NOT MY MOVIE Yep, my computer is still messing up, still working on it. Anyways, for this brief moment I have a computer to work on I saw one of my friends finally uploaded his Vietnam flick: which has been two years in the making (a summer filming, and another two years waiting to edit and...

First, make sure it's the operating system that won't boot, as opposed to the motherboard having trouble. How would I be able to tell the difference? You should also get into the BIG habit of saving nothing to C: My C: drive is the only harddrive I have that I can save things to. I don't want to ge...

Thanks that helps some. I'll try what that guy is doing: but this was my first stop, it just happened when I got home.

I am assuming that you have your important data not on C: so all you have to dfo is reinstall Windows fesh and clean

To tell you the truth I don't remember. But I do believe all my stuff is on C. Would reinstalling Windows erase it all?

My computer keeps running into a blue screen whenever I start Windows (XP). Don't know why, and don't know how to stop it. I've been looking throughout the web looking for answers but I have found none (that are useful or that I understand). So far it's does this. I start up and asks how I want to s...

There are none, and guns are pretty scarce too. Although some distant hunting rifles did sound nice.

AE when i export the video its very choppie and everything is out of sink and the video jumps and goes faster or slower then what its origanal settings where I remembered I had that problem. Check your framrate exporting settings. It's probably set on BEST. You want to change it to the framerate of...

In the Us you can by Airsoft guns that look like machineguns before you can buy ones that look like pistols (you have to be 18 for the pistols.) That's quite smart. Ever once and awhile some person will try to hold up a Seven Eleven with an airsoft pistol. Not too long ago, some kid tried to do tha...

All I can say is good luck.

That was funtastic. When the camera zoomed in on your car: I was half expecting some guy to run up and break out a window.

Maybe if you thought for two seconds and clicked on the link you'd see it allows a download for Mac OS X 10.4.2.

To get it, just complete the survey and download!

Also here are some tutorials I found:

That was awsome. Not much to say was bad: there were so many good shots.

How were you able to slow down the footage and still make it so smooth? Or was that ingame?

That place is great. I just signed up about a half an hour ago. All I've been doing is running around downloading and commenting.

Sorry, I meant long shots. I just thought some could be closer.

Thanks, muzzle flashes were from here. Explosions and bullet hits are from DetFilms, and NoControlCinema.

There you go. All filtered so they're downloadable.

Yahoo Video is your friend.

Looks great. I only have a few nit picks: like that four pronged muzzle flash, you could only get that if you had a muzzle brake with openings in it. The effects need to be color corrected to match the rest of the picture. Sniper shot was great, but the blood just vanished too quickly, and the other...
