Hey, i created another lil war test thing. This was just to test film look and shizzle. I also wanted to test tracers looking 3d. They may be a frame to long or whatever but....whatever. Enjoy

oh, i filmed it on a DV camera

Right, since i have finished school just the other day, i now have shitloads of free time in summer. Apart from getting a job, i have decided to build a jib arm crane for my camera. I will post up pictures and info over the next few weeks or so. So far, i have made a tiny model out of plasterboard, ...

Ye, i need to get some casing stock or get a blank gun...but i don't see me getting one of those.

haha. I am 'british', (as in english) so yeah, i thought it was pretty funny. I laughed pretty hard at that way funny music at the end, all those wierd horns. I thought it was real nice, short and fluent and funny. Good little comedy sketch. Great cuts, well done. Oh an the guy who commented 'roffle...

Yep, i do realise about the letter box. I put on the letter box, and then camera shake which was a big mistake as i never do that and yea, i need to update my tracer footage. I made it a while back and just overlayed it on the clip, so i will change that. I don't quite know what you mean about the i...

That would be good, its just i need to film a film!

Hey, im loving the metallica song battery. The trailer didn't really explain much about the film, it just seemed like a bunch of clips with guys holding guns. Wasn't bad tho, also maybe make it a bit shorter and have a variety of shots, make it meaningful so it will stick in the viewers head. I am n...

that was entertaining to watch, i've been trying for a while to get half decsent tracers on camera, but still struggeling, what did you do? i am also looking for smoke stock footage for barrel ejection rather than having muzzle flashes everywhere, any ideas? I made the tracers in photoshop and keyf...

at the mo, i am building up my collection of muzzle flashes so i have many different ones. Are there any other ways in which i can make it better?

I was intrigued why the hell this thread got so many posts then i found out it somehow led to a big debate on how it is impossible for israel to invade the UK, hahaha. How can that evolve from the original topic being on a staff fight scene. And i also didn't like the clip. The editing, continuety, ...

Man, most of you all have a really impressive arsenal of weaponary. I need to buy some stuff but UK isn't that great for having guns.... I am going to san fran in a few weeks, but i seriously doubt i could smuggle bagfuls of weponary...or can i

Ah ok, i actually meant the blowback of the chamber as the recoil buti know what you mean.

What do you mean? I had no recoil on the gun, the gun is a cheap, plastic 007 toy one. What do you mean not many guys have shot one?

Cheers for the reply

Hey, this is literally a 9 second clip (i will do a full film sometime) just testing out some stuff. Tell me what you think. It would be a lot better with recoil on the gun but frankly, i couldn't really be bothered

Ye, i think i might go with the hc3. I will be buying it soon, when i have some money. Also, you can connect an external mic with the hc3 on the hot shoe. The downside to this is that there are only two choices of microphones, so the variety is very small, but i am certain that sony will bring out m...

hey, i am very interested in your xl1. How much are you asking for it. To be honest, i think an xl1 is out of my price range but what is your offer (pm me with it). Oh and both the cameras are great, get both

bullet effects, real simple just stock footage except the smoke, that was actually talcum powder. Aaron, Alove and wildstorm, what do you think of the camera shake?

oo nun chucks, i am pretty good at them if anyone cares...

Yeh i know it doesn't hurt, but is an extra £250 worth it

Man, you tube SUCK! for some reason it didn't work so i will use putfile

I dug up an old clip and put some camera shake on. Tell me what ya think

I think the world is changing now. Star wars was filmed on HD few years ago. Wait a few years and everything will be in HD. ....wait a few years? erm no, i would like a new camera in the next month or so. I was asking is the hd feature wasted if i dont have a high def tv? I wasn't asking how the wo...

jus decrease the size of the image and quality. i think it is under edit in photoshop, then change image size
