Premiere 2.0 and Photoshop!!!

hehe oh and a trial version of Edius v4

Incidentally you can get a free version of Avid to train up on - so definately worth familiarising yourself with

Yeah I thought it looked good man but really im sure you were careful anyway (and had the adequate precautions available in the advent of an accident etc.)

I know you'll be careful but as always BE CAREFUL doing this kind of stunt work!

But good work K

Yep the nerdy guy was funny cos he looked so unbelievably wimpish but the girl was cute! yey

The rule to a good film is a cute girl and a gun! So now you just need a gun and your almost there!

Great quote Padrino - for a sec i didnt see the quote and i was thinking wow check out padrino he's turned into gandalf or something hehe Bruce Campbell a hero to indies eveeerywhere

just save as guys - on the links way easier

Alright here are some shots from the war montage (it lasts about 1 min - 30 secs) and happens in the middle of the film - signalling the russian invasion of hungary. The montage is surreal basically and i use a few shots (from a cr** student film i did ages ago called Chechnya) and its come out ok i...

There you go mate, its just a wee fun video from a scene in the film (the actual music won't be used tho it rocks - like all of Wagners music

Yep I can understand if its frustrating having the cool chance to do the guys film every other day but also having to balance it with finishing highschool (with the grades you want.) Don't mean to pry but are you thinking of doing a film degree? Gofering can give you a surprising opportunity to lear...

muhahahaha well thats cos your still an obstinate teenager Gyro! In a professional working environment (when your getting paid to be a 2nd assistant camera operator) then WOW do you learn humility fast. This can become particularly stressful when dealing with film stocks, especially changing magazin...

Well doesnt matter either way really its a great opp for Gyro and K that their teacher is letting them help on a feature they'll learn some great skills - and just think Gyro you might even learn humility

Well good luck man the reason synth is used more often (perhaps with some solo instrumentation - if ur lucky) is because 1 you can't just record a pile of solow performances and add them (and expect the same timbre as an orchestral sound) and 2 cos obviously getting an orchestra is nigh on unafforda...

Ah right! Yep your quite right mate ill fix that - about the insignia oops lol

Ah well thats great then the car graphic worked well enough. It's easy to get too anal about 'realism' I honestly think its just important that it looks 'realistic enough' so that audiences can nod and continue with the story. Its only obvious when rules of perspective and other basic composition ar...

lol does rather sound it hehe

What a bizarre video i only caught parts of it very much like a kind of jackass musc video style of fast cutting bladdy blah. Fun guys but BUT KEEP IT SAFE - especially anything that can risk OTHER people's health -

Yep well here you go guys, this isnt really how the scene goes in the film (i mean its just music in this) But its a great example of just how u can be pretty cinematic even with a video camera (even shooting in SD) - And while we can't all be great DP's like Gyro, you can with effects and some imag...

Guys bear with me im making a cute and silly video for you guys which you'll like - it shows how u can achieve quite a cinematic look with er just photoshop training and magic bullet I hope you'll like this -

(oh and the car is a photoshop image from a 3d model)

lol I know hehe

Thanx guys,

Heres some more pics from the riot scene hehe let the revolution begin hehe

Righto well ive been reworking the old police line in the riot scene taking into account SgtPadrino's comments about how they appear in groups of 4 make them stand out. I've also changed some of their faces a little, adding bits and bops to make them look less similar. I think if you stare at the im...

Edited cos p2 pic was sooo huge it was screwing up the thread on my monitor eek

Well i mean thats the problem, its an outdated constitution designed to aid americans fight off indians or british lol not the domestic problems of the 21st century.

Righto, well you will have this but, just as these new scenes have been done, so have the old scenes been re-edited and they include new grading. The effects might be a little less stylised than my first posts of pics (when they were all like different colours haha.) http://img299.imageshack.us/img2...

Yeah i think the point was lost on you FFF - point being that films costs don't ignore what you get for free - cos you still spent it. Do you think if Lucas got everyone to volanteer (from cast to crew) and such like, that he would go - wow look what i made for 0 cents - Star Wars VIIVI (or whatever...
