MattHawkins Online - Film Making Forum

I have 2 link spots open to anyone. Just go here and read up on the part that says "Linking" and I can link your website to mine. Also, I'm open to any suggestions on how to improve my site.

That was pretty sweet. I am always confused on how these are made...I feel like an old guy.

I just did this about a month ago... http://www.matthawkins.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10591 The only thing I can really tell you is what we did and that was...we had a person who had trained skills with this kind of work, stunt padding, precautions. The video you posted kind of looked like compute...

I am in agreeance with kene...it does draw you in and that is what makes it a good teaser, great job. I think tecmeister was just amused with the graffitti weiener in the background. I do like the birds off camera...it just makes it seem so happy at the end after all the pandemonium ensues.

I remembered before having the main character's inner thoughts before getting the burrito: I thought this needed it. Without it it seemed like he just lies to the group. I know before the muzzles flashes looked like cr**, but the lack of them makes it look just as bad. Yeah, he questions if one bur...

That's great...now about the movie...

Yeah, I held a production meeting the day before we went out and shot and I stressed on this subject quite a bit. It actually helped a little bit with the film we are working on but I also think the equipment we are using has done some of the job as well. When you're using a DVX100B with and Arri Li...

To you newer members I created this film El Burrito de la Muerte last year around April and had it online for quite a while so here it is to you guys. Let me know what you think... A while ago some Comcast type television show in San Fransisco contacted me when they saw this film on Google Video. Th...

I seem to have this problem quite often and that is, when I am directing I tend to get more upset on not how things are running, but on how people are acting (off screen). Actors and crewman will go off on their own little conversations when we are ready to roll, I begin to yell (attention yell...no...

We did this once in on of Gyro's films. We used a normal fog machine, sprayed it out for a moment and then just spread it out by fanning it.

I have made an attempt or two but or normally erupts into every hating me because it is their fault they can't get their lines down. Although the longest they ever go is like a minute or two. We did one in Five Cents that took us like 25 takes and then we attempted to do one in the film I am current...

Haha...that list had me laughing for a while.

I just designed the whole thing with HTML and CSS in freewebs with a free account and then I registered a domain with freewebs for a year. It was $40 to host it but when you register a domain all of your personal info is put somewhere for people to see, it's something about contacting the designer i...

I disagree, Steven Soderbergh did all of his cinematography in Ocean's 11, 12, & 13 and I think it's pretty dandy. Cinematographers have camera operators, assistant camera operators, and a gaffer who do all the setting up. Mainly cinematographers will set up on smaller budget films but on the bi...

I have a whole smash of stuff on the web that you can check out... website: http://www.kentertainmentpictures.com myspace: http://www.myspace.com/kentertainmentpics blog: http://kentertainmentpictures.blogspot.com *YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/kentertainmentpics Although YouTube features ...

It's likely you're trying to import an .mp4 onto the timeline, which oddly Vegas doesn't support. The easiest thing to do is burn the music you want onto a CD and then bring the CD into iTunes and copy the music from the disk as another format such as an .mp3.

If you make an agreement with the owners then you should be good to film there. Although, if they agree to let you film there I would suggest giving them a full detailed description of what you would be doing and then lay down some terms for them and then have them lay down terms for you. I would th...

Word of advice, careful filmin thesee things! I got arressted with my friend earlier this year because someone saw us filming on a beach with bibi guns and thought they were real and called the police! This has happened to us twice. The guns weren't loaded so they just told us to be careful. We wer...

I figured there would be a YouTube video of this already so I did a search and I found this skateboarding footage using the exact lens. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa8mZZzG7ow And here is a dude with a fingerboard... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvJbCjruJ-g Sorry that this is about the only hel...

Alright, I've watched up to 23 minutes so far but I'm off to do some stuff soon so I'll have to get back to the rest of it later. Here are just a few things I've noticed than can be improved on in the future: It'd been a lot more manageable if you picked a location for the murder sequence w/o buzz n...

It was all done through the power of lighting my friend. This question has been brought up numerous of times on this forum and the answer has always and always will be lights. A lot of people on this forum are very much not aware of all the other aspects of filmmaking and my only suggestion is to do...

I think the visuals in this look great. The stills you provided were to me a little testy in looks but I suppose I just needed to see the motion to them cause the actual film looks great. The acting seemed a little bland though, as if there wasn't much emotion given off to fit such tragic war-torn t...

its obvious you made it yourself without a wizard or anything I didn't make mine with any sort of wizard...just a blank page, CSS, and HTML. Anyway, I watched the video and was fairly impressed with the car the first time it blew up. When I got the details about how it was done...it kind of ruined ...

NG brought up inspiration by I Am Legend...what about that Twilight Zone episode where the guy is locked in a vault and a nuclear bomb goes off leaving nobody alive but he and his books. At the end, he steps on his glasses and can no longer read. Anyway, I really liked this, although I must say the ...

Well, you 2nd trailer must have worked because I'm watching "The Vault" right now. The 1st trailer just made me wanna go to the bathroom and the noise his gut makes made me thirsty.

I liked your second trailer the most, it was cut well and had great intensity.
