The scariest thing you can do is attack the mind - never show a scary act happening, cut out right before a grisly murder is about to happen, play mind games with your audience. A perfect example of this is 'The Mothman Prophecies.' That was one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. And above all e...

Wearing a ski mask and holding an AK47 in the middle of a conservative rural Iowa town, on the Fourth of July with American flags lining the streets. If I didn't have the AK, I'm positive I would've been lynched. But other than that, I haven't done any really crazy physical things. Not yet at least.

I personally think that the thing that is most twisted/funny/disturbing is the thing you don't see. You see a guy level a gun at a guy's head, and then put a loud gunshot right as you cut from that to another scene. Much more effective in my opinion, but if it's something like a shootout, use as muc...

One of the best things about America is that there aren't any strict national gun laws. The only state where assault rifles are banned from sale is California, and only a few more states prohibit the use of replica guns. That's the only reason I like living in Iowa; we have zero truly strict gun laws.

I really need to get more powerful software - the slowmotion on the program I use is controlled simply a slider, but the end effect is never as slow as you want it to be. And if you slow it down all the way, export it and slow it down again, it just get's damned choppy. [Edited on 5-8-2003 by SgtPad...

Adobe Premiere
Does anyone know where to buy it, and how much it costs? It sounds like it's a really powerful tool, and I'd like to start using it instead of the stuff that came preinstalled on my computer.

I don't know about gun laws in England. Maybe there's a website you can look up legislatures on. It should be okay; I don't see why blank guns would be illegal, as long as they're shipped with orange tips on the muzzles. As long as they're not discharged in a populated area, then there shouldn't be ...

Blank firing guns aren't illegal to own if you're under 18 because they cannot be modified to fire real bullets, and they don't require a permit either, it's just that most of the sites you buy them from require you to be over 18 or 21, because well, they look exactly like real ones and some dumb 12...

Color schemes
My next film is currently in pre production (an action movie with lots of sarcasm), and I was wondering if anybody knew of some affordable software that can do color schemes, because I wanted to make the film about as gritty as Narc was. Any help would be appreciated.
