W/ Balsa wood, keep tweezers handy for the almost inevitable splinter incident, and equip everyone nearby with safety glasses (Really cheap at home improvement stores)

I have the basic plot for my peice, (If you want to see it, Foxwood, I'll PM you w/ details) and will begin writting this weekend

Forsaken

I don't know alot of legal ways a 15 year old could get 2 grand to "Invest"

Five Finger Discount? lol Just kidding.

I would just try and find people who need odd jobs done. Also, home-expansion projects are a veritable hotbed of loose money, so ask arround and see if you can pull nails or package up old drywall or something

I believe thats precicely the point

I'm in, but I recently realized that my cameras battery is almost insanley sensitive to cold, so no actuall filming untill it warms up outside

you would think that it would follow the rule
cheap real guns = cheap fake guns
but this is not the case, as I can't remember a single good place from prop snub-noses

*Still Waiting for the much anticipated release of Hollow Point...* Can we atleast get an update on how it's coming along? pleasepleasepleaseplease???

If the shot is just of a guy taking a chair across the back, use Balsa wood if possible, and have him wear a few A-shirts beneath whatever else he's wearing. W/ the chair, I would recomend cutting halfway through the legs, then create a "Crumple Zone" on the legs by cutting a wedge shape p...

I assume your making some kind of Al Capone Prohibition Era Gangster flick? If so, stock up on cheap suits and snub-nosed revolvers

is it sticking or something?

for the really REALLY cheap version, simply half-burry a board in the ground (Preferably sand) and have your actor stand on the un-burried part. It will lever over and throw the dirt on top of it into the air WARNING: Anyone who knows of this technique will be able to tell thats exactly how you did ...

Very good work. I too was wondering about your technique for getting both ambient sounds and the mortars. Also the sound from the clip on the Garand ejecting itself

I'll make an attempt. Couldn't hurt

1. True, but you might want a variety 2. See #1 3. 2 words: PVC Pipe 4. He probably means he wants both a M-72, and a LAW 5. I belive that it is the light machine gun used most by the VC. It looks somewhat like a large AK-47 with a box magazine. For the claymore, if you have the money, you could mak...

apparently, Morpheus has put on some weight and likes hanging out with balding guys. But really, when someone uses an effect like that, the "Clone" is usually the persons concience, so the shorter guy probably just lied to the taller guy, and his concience showed up and told him not to lie...

hmm... I'll have to think about this one. The body from the AK should work, with some modifications, which I will go into detail later, once I have looked over the two weapons side by side ::UPDATE:: Alright, first, I would move the mechanism that holds the magazine in to the top, and lengthen it ab...

He just stands there with a handfull of shell casings and sifts through them like they were very large grains of sand. Then you just put in a load of gunfire sound effects in post

Try here for that route. It actually looks really good

if you know about a 3d program, I'd recomend building shell casings with that. If not, try the way Matt posted at the bottom of this page

Throw the zombie off a cliff to be impaled uppon a stick, the throw a boulder at it?

And, yes, this thread will be immensley disturbing

<Kindly directs Darth to the forum, shown below the sticky signs>

If you can't find it there, then try making a thread about the individual stunt

Gotta have you Monty Python! Good collection

I'm in. I have an idea for what I think would look good (And also be easy to shoot) I could do a Blair Witch-Style thing about a guy who is lost in the woods on a hunting trip when the zombies appear...

On the pic where you asked how the bullet hit looked, there should be blood on the undershirt, other than that, it looks good so far
