It has a distinct 80s action fell to it where enemies did generally stand back and attack one at a time in a very staged fashion.

One tactic I often employ is to basically ask the client what is their maximum budget and then I work towards it. This immediately tells me if it is viable or not. If their budget is under what I expect then I try to talk them into cutting down their expectations/scope of the job to match. I will no...

Calm down youngling. Keep on topic please

Yes anything is possible young padawan. I am working on a project on the 16th April in which I will film 5 people talking about a business project in my town. I am being paid $AU 1000 for the project which will include shooting/editing/dvd creation. I will pay a friend $100 to make the DVD cover/lab...

I found it funny...but the best? not sure...needs tighter editing and more flow in some parts.

exactly, you should use the characters name instead of a generic term

yes please define a "bounty hunter voice"

sorry Zac, just a little poke at the backwardness of our little island state (runs and hides).

Yay they have finally invented blood in Tasmania

LSMaker is a brilliant free program for lightsaber effects http://lsmaker.uw.hu/page.php Simple point and click effect to create each saber. He also has some other handy little free apps Another good program which also handles muzzle flashes and particle effects is "FXhome VisionLab Studio"...

Uniform size boxes are preferred to even out the whole target area (usually boxes all come from the 1 source). People have jumped from incredi...

Hmmm I think a good old fashion crash pit of stacked and empty cardboard boxes covered and secured by a tarp may be an easier way to go. Your airbag would have to hold a fair pressure and withstand multiple landings if need be.

Kene555 it may be handy to provide members with more specific information about your PC

I agree with Ornsack, I wanna see a production

it needs a tag line of some sort also

Would it not be easier to imprt the video in theh 3D program, include the objects/shadows and then export the entire sequence

Exactly thanks Liza. People often over-complicate issues. Go straight to basics and see if they work for you.

The idea in principle is old and was used to great effect in early film making. At times they would shoot dummys and mocked up parts. In the good old days on some movies real bullets were used at times. James Cagney was nearly shot in the head one day by a police sharpshooter (can't remember the fil...

Thanks guys. The UDDS are not from New Zealand, they are universal! And a little teaser. In the future look out for Apocalypse UDD

UDDS X just ranked 34th in THE 2007 MMMC INTERNATIONAL AMATEUR MOVIE FESTIVAL amongst a full international crowd. I was 18pts behind first place lol. Can't wait till the judges send me their feedback.

Normally you would consider marketing and do a competitive analysis of the competition and existing titles. What is your USP (unique selling point) that makes your title stand out from the rest?

I have no idea where POM actually comes from.

Check out this machinima modelling tool for UT. Cool idea
