Hey, just an idea if you want to make the crash have more of a "BOOM" effect. Place small bags of flour or powder under all the mats and table peices and stuff. When you land break through the table your landing will have more of and impact.

Heres a crappy idea but it can work. 1.Make a life size newspaper ball in the shape of your actors head. (NO details, just the basic shape) 2.Then either you find a place to buy a face latex applaince that would cover a persons entire face, and place it on the dummy head. OR you can buy a latex mask...

Because to apply them depends on how your prosthetics are. If they overlap each other, Or if it is one huge appliance that goes on a very large area of the head. Or if its many little applainces or a moderate size prosthetic. Then, you have to decide what kind of glue to use. (spirit gum is the most...

Do you mean how to make the the latex prosthetics, or how to apply them?

How would I go abouty creating a bullet shot while my actor is running?

Thanks alot. if this doesn't work, at least i won't be broke.

Yeah that might be a problem.

How would i go about making a shot slow motion without the crappy choppyness?
For example the Matrix slow mo shots, (for those who have seen the movie The Rundown) the shot were the Rock brakes that piller of bricks. Thats the kind of slow mo I'm lookin for.

Well, this probably won't help. but if you can't figure out any program thats suits your needs, then you should just try going the easy way and reshoot that shot. First just looking in the direction (before the camera gets hit) then get that plexy gas, break a bullet like hole into it, place it infr...

this is probably the most retarded question ever but, how can you tell on a camcorder if a bigger lense can be attached to it. I have a panasonic Mini DV camcorder with a lense the size of a freaking dime! Needless to say that theres certain shots that are hard to obtain within a close distance. So ...

I have a RCA camcorder thats a few years old,(its VHS not Mini DV) and a Windows XP. How would I go about tranfering the video from the camera to the PC. It doesn't have a Firewire cable hookup. Any help would be appreciated. So basically I'm asking for any cables that can help me out. "Their n...
