Yeah, the end made me jump and got my heart pumping for the moment. Good job!

I'd actually like to see a suspense/action movie but I'd say go with a comedy because most attempts nowdays in amateur and proffesional horror films aren't scary at all.

I watched it....I like it for most parts but the compression did get to me too at times. You're muzzle flashes were a bit sketchy but it most cases of amateur films they are anyways. I loved the way you did your cinematography with the occasional fast and slow motion. I also liked some of the music ...

get a couple girls, some soap, and a hose, and have yourself a wonderful Saturday of car washing

Thats just wrong, for shame


Anywhoo, I normally don't do anything at all, but once I did film a family event of some sort and got a few bucks off that.

That might be a little complicated to build and you'd need a lot of money. I'd suggest you find a building with a roof like that and get some permission then build a wall in which you can paint blue or get some blue sheets to drape over it. Although it might be hard to find permission to film on the...

Great, I'm looking forward to see it. How long is the movie going to be?

the actors were good.

With the exception of me (a.k.a. bad acting kid who has change of heart). That is why I generally don't act in my movies.

That kinda reminded me of this old show called "Ghostwriter" were a little shiny dot wrote novels and saved the day. The mountain location was really cool too.

I thought it was excellent! great angles, but was that linkin' park music...I don't like them. Also Collateral is such a great film.

Unless you go to some sort of sword shop I think ebay is the way to go. You could always get a watermelon and stab it to death until your blade goes dull, that is what my friend did.

Thats way awesome I love movies involving govnernment secrets, NSA, CIA and all that stuff. I was actually thinking of making a movie like this before being that western Utah is nothing but barren wasteland where people store nuclear waste and it'd be perfect for some nuclear doo hickey thing but I'...

Well that is just the trailer not the whole movie.

you mentioned a movie you made called the "forgotten" could you post it for us?

You'd have to P.M. Gyro because it's mainly his movie. Although I think the link to it is doesn't work anymore at the moment.

When Gyro, Spoon and I made "Forgotten" we got used one of those garden sprayers where you pump the top and spray it out of a hose. Basically the actor was on the ground and the medic was holding a rag to the wound. We placed the hose under the soldiers jacket and somone would occasionally...

Yeah, some of those would work, thanks. Still if anyone one else has any I'd appreciate it if you could send them to me.

No one else! Punchins SFX are used by practically everyone who makes movies here. Someone else has got to have some, I have 3 from MOH: Allied Assult just to let you know. Anyone else, please!

mercenary123 i looked up "mercenary", the definition was "soldier hired for foreign service" There is a slight difference between a mercenary and a hit man. For instance like you said mercenaries are hired for foreign service. Lets just say a country is about to go to war, the co...

I was planning to do this: 1. Get a piece of plywood or sheetrock. 2. Drill a small hole into it until it almost goes through. 3. Paint it 4. Stick one firecracker in each hole and then light them. I don't know if it'll work because I haven't tried it yet. If done right I think it'd look good becaus...

Don't write the script for him. You may think your helping him, but your really hurting him. Well actually I wrote half of the script for him way before this post started. Like I said I'm already working on a script for myself so I left it up to him to conclude it being that he is the director of t...

Four days isn't too bad, the script I'm writing right now that involves a hit man is about 3/4 the way done and it's like 23-26 pages of some sort. I still think you should make it.

I JUST WROTE HALF OF ONE FOR YOU! PLUS YOU'RE ALREADY WORKING ON THE SCRIPT I WROTE FOR YOU!!!! YOU CAN FINISH IT I ONLY WROTE HALF BECAUSE I AM ALREADY WORKING ON A SCRIPT!

The farthest one of my friends live is like 2-3 miles. All my friends can normally film whenever. Occasionally though someone will have 6 years of homework and thats the only time.

I could really use some good ones. Everywhere I've looked they turn out to be a really fake muffled sounding punch. If anyone has any real good ones please e-mail them to me.

I have ACID, it's pretty good but usually I don't use it for my music. I use it for things like editing audio in my movies to make someone sound like they're on the radio, etc..

I have an old analog capture card. Could I somehow hook my Gamecube up to a VCR and then the VCR into the card and capture some sound effects off games like MOH or Splinter Cell? Help would be nice, I too need some clicking silenced gunshots.
