hi, it's true that there are some blank guns with a solid barrel that just show a big flash from the top(ejection port) it is however pssible to draw a muzzleflash in front of it later on. th advantage of these guns over the airsoft guns are that it has a realistic recoil and a shel ejecting. Howeve...

BRAZIl by Terry Gilliam,

well back on topic: i like the idea of the usa putting everybody in prison(in fact america already has the greatest number of person in jail in this world already-fact- it's even an economic machine now over there: the penetentiary-cheap workers etc.) it would be a great satire. or maybe just all th...

It's very simple, in a short about a post apocalyptic world, I wish to portray a sense of decay. This can be done in the use of setting, dressup , but also in smaller details, such as weaponnery. When using antiques, wich already have a degree of decay, they enhance subconsious, the feeling of a wor...

Hi, been away some days to answer your questions: the bren is a demilitarised gun from ww2, they are relativly cheap, though the most expensive of the lot, being 499 euro's ( some 535 us$):I got it in a german gunshop that deals in militaria and such. , the mauser c96 and the pepperbox(early revolve...

hello everybody, just recently, for a short science fiction film about a post apocalyptic world, i started buying props, like dust goggles, old soviet gasmasks and (deactivated) guns. Because i want a low tech world, i have chosen to use antiques and replica's of antiques, to give it more this 19th ...

donot do it with stock footage explosions, it will make your movie look bad and cheap. do it realtime with explosives or compressed air.

how about henry rollins, he's a weird guy, he'd be perfect to star in this movie

aNother: someone gets strangled by the tentacles of a squid. the ones lying dead at the local fishmarket. waht if someone took a squid and started wearing it like a head... hahahaha well i might use it myself now i think of it

I have this deerhead hanging on the wall with big horns(what you call these things on his head) sticking out.
have someone take the dearhead of the walll and stab another with the dearhead. ahahaha well i might use it myself now to think of it

it's all VOODOO don't you see....

i cannot believe this

naaaah i was thinking more of calling the movie a different name; zork's wonderfull journey into the visceral memories of the mighty alhambra monk, part 6...

your copy of premier does not have thecodec installed right. install the proper avi codec or render the explosion avi in another program to a format that your premiere copy can handle...

i rest my case, however, i must agree that sound of music is much better in technicolor than it would 've been in b&w.

note: that beautiful film you are speaking of, about a drug user's downward spiral, in full color, guess what artsy fartsy colors his feaure film before that had....

well well, did some reading just now and i must agree that it is a pretty gory script. If you have 5 million or so , you'd be able to make it. However i'd recommend a scriptdoctor to look at the dialogue, because it is somewhat comicbook like. However, when spending 5 million on a movie, i bet your ...

make a worldwar 1 movie with explicit scenes and realistic details, gory enough i'd say...

You'd think, padrino, that schindler's list would've been better in technicolor? ignorant bstrd...

also shutterspeed gives a certain 'look'to your film, wich you might or might not wish to use. high shutterspeeds were used in saving privat ryan and the battlesequences in gladiator, to give it more of that realistic fighting feel,more than motionblurring all the action.

Is true, except you'd be tied to the stockfootage to choose what angle to film your original in, wich is conforming. Using stockfootage of a mortar will not work when coloring or perspectives do not match done it once, combined with realtime shot explosives...you CAN see the difference, for wich i a...

break open enough firecrackers, do not throw away the fuses, stick 'em together to make one long thick fuse. use all the gunpowder in the firecrackers. cut open a tennisball, put the powder in with the fuse hanging out. tape the ball with half a roll of ductape, untill it is really tight. dig a smal...

the best you can do is film in ntsc(lower resolution though) in 30 fps, then deinterlace, like mushiman said, wich 'pulls'the two fields apart in seperate images... then, make a tiff sequence, import this into a pal project(25 fps) , where the speed will now be... uhmm lets see about 0.4 the origina...
