Sorry for the double post but, I forget to mention that I just have the ingredients and not an exact recipe at the moment, from my experimenting, you can pretty much get it from the basic ingredients without instruction, but i'll try to get an exact recipe while I make some prosthetics. For the firs...

I cleaning up my room and found this junk I made back in the 5th grade. (I hadn't cleaned up in a while.) Its this putty junk we made and after a while it hardened into a rubber-like state. I made it again just to see how long it took to harden and it only takes a few days. But the cool thing about ...

How do I use liquid latex i've heard that it can damage skin?

What you could do is run an air compressor hose through your costume so that it comes out of your sleeve. Then place the nozzle under the deck of cards. When its time for the cards to fly have someone hit the switch and it'll launch the cards out of your hands using compressed air.

Rendering takes way to long, unless you use a render farm. We use that in the lab at our school

Hey everyone, I've never tried using prosthetics before and I was curious as to the best way to apply prosthetics to my actors, in a way that they are removable, but won't come off in water.

I like the soundtrack for The Scorpion King.

If you mean you not looking right, because your ages is different than your character, its pretty difficult for a lot of people to act out of their age, if you just try I think you deserve a lot of credit.

I'm pretty good at CG and I have some friends who are even better than me. I think the biggest issue for me doing CG would be render times.

I wish I could go to Hollywood that would, thats the one place I really want to go to right now. Its been my new goal since I went to Disneyland when I was 8, lol.

Do they actually have to be hollow?

Franco doesn't know me but I'm taking his theatre arts class next year.

There are some tutorials on the anim8or website, if you can't find what you want just tell me what you need and I can write something up.

I was thinking more of an LOTR sorta thing.

I am serious, the unfortunate thing is that I don't have a job.

And if that fails make some digital stuff, you can use 3d Max, that has some pyro effects.

Ah, good point, some of the more old-timey places do still have people who play though. If your in school you might be able to talk to some of the people in the band. (I say if your in school simply because of there's such a large range of ages on this forum.)

That sounds good, the bands me and Sky are talking to for my movie aren't under a label or anything, their just some guys at our school who play music together.

Just go to an Italian resteraunt and ask one of the guys there. I'm sure there would be someone somewhere willing to help you out.

Looks good! I'll definately use this if I ever get After Effects.

Yeah, CG explosions look good, but nothing beats the real thing! Go Fire!

I downloaded the demo but I can't use it on this computer. I'll redownload it when I get home though. I hate the school's installation blocks. lol

Sounds good, thanks.

Well i'm new to green screening and keying and such so i'm just wondering, is 3 layers enough for muzzle flashes or do I need more?

I'm not actually writing a script for this, I was just curious as to how to accomplish this effect.
