You need to key them out better, make them more transparent and work on the sound

Yep i did. I gave it a nice, warm tone by using magic bullet. I swear i mentioned that in some other thread in response to your question. Any hoo, i took the crane out today and started my new free board vid, which will be entered in a competition. If you would like to view my other frre board vid, ...

i wasn't just moving my arm up and down, it has a lever so i was moving it forward and backward as well. I really like you, why don't you come over to my place, have some chicken, then maybe some sex, see how things work out? xxxx

Will post pics soon. Zac, you love asking me that question. It is just a regular sony dv Camera. To be really specific, the model number is a DCR-HC18E, nothing special at all, i need to get a new camera. The crane itself i would think can reach about 8-10 feet high. I may do a really small crappy t...

Here is a video i posted up in the films section

Here is a little video showing some test shots i did with my new arm crane. I still need to perfect the smoothness of the operation. Here is the thread about the crane itself. I will be posting pics of it and stuff. http://www.matthawkins.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9336 Here is the video: Click her...

Aliens dammit. Have a bomb, that shoots out these little aliens. They bury themselves in you body and eat you from the inside out.

ugh, so much stuff, GIVE IT TO ME!

weapons like nail bombs are pretty cool, ie eraser. At one point, a nail bomb is shot into the room and Tough guy Arnie gets a nail right in the hand. Do that but with....aliens?

Right its finished!!! Cost me bout £20-£25 to build and i am pretty pleased with the outcome. Despite my shitty craftsmanship and my DIY skills, it didn't turn out half bad. I will post pictures and some footy soon.

haha wtf! Thought it was funny and NOT OFFENSIVE! I can't speak for a disabled person, but how is ornsack portraying a disabled person a lower status than himself? He isn't. He ain't taking the p*** out of them, it is just a harmless funny sketch. Oh and Gyro, i had a hunch.

please change the song. Yeh, too long and pretty shoddy camera angles. It was clumsy when you were showing your 'skills' on the butterfly knife but your hand constantly went out of frame.

pretty good, except i think the movements should me more smoother, as they seem a little sudden. Real good for 2d though.

I bought all the materials yesterday and have started it today. It should be finished by tonight

ye, it was the way i exported it and compressed it. I will export it in 16:9 in the future. For this clip i exported it 4:3, then compressed it in 16:9 which would have squashed it

hahaha, yeh i was wondering if anyone was going to notice that. Well done for spotting that, despite how blantently obvious it is. I did that because if got the correct shot, you would see a washing line or my house in the background and i wanted to keep a greenery background. (it is only a test aft...

well i am going to san fran in 3 weeks time, so i guess that will be my most exotic loaction

Ah, ok, i will try that out. Yeh i can key them out and make them thinner, i don't know how to make them glow though. I have tried a glow in premiere but it glows the actual picture, not the keyed out picture. They do look better thinner, i just need them to glow. I also tried blur when i was making...

i had the thin ones but everyone said they were too 2d looking. argh, i can't win.

Any one got any ideas or can give me tips on making good ones?

edit: Looking back, when i compress them, it actually doubles them. Look at it and go frame by frame on the tracers and youll see what i mean.

I thought it looked pretty sweet. I think you should maybe get better sound fx but it was looking good. Sorta had a b-movie/ snuff movie/ vibe to it, and for that reason, i think it is good. I think you could have possibly made a better trailer in the sense of music but yeh, i look forward to seeing...

you do realise zac that i have answered that question on the other topic in which you POSTED it.... i filmed it on a DV camera and edited it with premiere pro. And the tracers, i just got made some pictures of like yellow lines, whats wrong with them? I know they are travelling a little slow as i me...

I'm not sure. but can this be done? It is a lot simpler than you think. Can this be done? of Course it can! Many people have done it before. I should be starting it tomorrow or if not, some time this week. And yeh, i have seen that guys site before. The best site is http://www.homebuiltstabilizers....

you keyframe them to get smaller as they go up the screen so it appears that they are going forward instead of going up, if you see what i mean.
