it's no advertisement, it's the intro(well I'm not sure if that's the term in english, but it's the part of a story we call "mise en situation" in french), an integral part for the movie! for the lenght, I calculated it because I have those two paragraphs to narrate into it: Il n’y ...

Djo-> yep! my name on elysiun is also bloodymess. for the subtitling, I think you touch a point, since it's quite a long story.(well, not TOO long. about 2 pages in courrier new size 12.) ornsack: yeah, this short, once done, will be my first movie. I already did a few small plays and special effect...

you know suzanne? :D I think she's why blender is so much loved by the budget modeling community! thanks for the link, I'll make one for sure, but for using it here, I won't bother. I found it looked real good using an "old movie" mask, and it adds shaking, so even if it was smooth, it wou...

for the titles, rhys, I'll see what I can do, I think I'm going to completely incorporate them over the camera-going-through plants part, when I'll figure out how vegas works, so I can go without movie maker's titles. for the length of it, however, it's necessary; I calculated my stuff and I need at...

hehehe... it's a little off topic, but here's something great about the mac-pc war made in beautiful quebec; canada. http://www.phylacterecola.com/flash/galerie/sample/sketchs/pages/v002.htm this short film is one of the hundreds of shorts made by Phylactere Cola, who are, in my opinion, some of the...

Hello! heres the introduction of a short film Im making that will be slightly burton inspired (in the story, that is). I’m making this movie to test a filming technique that I learned not long ago that gives a surreal « espressionist » feeling to the video. There will be no dialog, only...

why not?

schindler's list "auschwitz-birkenau" and "nacht aktion" by john williams, violin solo by ithzak perlman.

yeah, corn syrup has a tendency to englobe the coloring particles, I don't know exactly why that is, but it screens it and only the syrup touches things apparently(but I don't really know what's going on with that substance) but when you dilute it, it loses this screening ability; so keep it thick i...

well, personnally, I don't think it's that bad... but when blood is spread thinly, you shouldn't use the corn syrup recipe; it has a tendency to bead up and look like strawberry jam, not really realistic if you ask me. for thin coverage, like the blood on your cheek, if you can find some, substitute...

or even why not make some yourself? it's easy as hell using photoshop if you have a photo printer.

yeah, if you looked around, you'd see plenty of alternatives. next time, search the forum before posting! I really doubt anyone here uses real squibs. so to go back to your question: you'll find everything you want and more here: http://exposure.co.uk/eejit/index.html

if you don't find any good texture map... MAKE ONE! it's easier than it seems.

when you modifiy your avatar, you can click on "select avatar from gallery", and in the gallery there is the avatar of matt and pictures of his movies. that's probably where he took his "matt-like" avatar.

it's good, it looks much more filmish, and gives a moody feeling... I like it!

mick-> yes, I would only have to change the background for something that isn't the same color as the robot, and render it again. Metronome-> thanks, and the lack of shadow is because of the reflectivity of the floor; even though it doesn't look like that, it has a high specularity which washes out ...

here, this might work.

you're actually right... I don't know what's the problem, though... probably something going on with putfile.

Hi there, here's a small animation I made in blender not so long ago. the character is animated using a primitive armature, and the whole thing took about 12 hours to render; mostly because of the reflectivity of the character. I did this just for fun, and it's my second animation using an humanoid ...

haha, good... I just don't get why he's orange... and why he's american but drives left... well, it was sure great to watch, not as funny as your other sketches, but I loved it anyways!

thanks to everybody, I think I have found out how to do the exact thing I want... I'm going to do it the hard way, though... frame by frame editing... ugh... at least it's going to work!

yeah, using cg is kindof the first thing I thought, but I don't know how I will be able to render this realisticaly! here, we're talking about fresh meat, not dust... any tips?

I'm afraid none of those will work... the reconstruction is all in one shot, and it's not like the pieces would stick back together, it's more like a.. regenaration, if I may say. like if the face would grow back.

so, here's my problem. at the end of the movie i'm going to start shooting soon, A character(a demon) needs to be shot in the head using a 12 gauge shotgun, so his head gets litteraly destroyed. he gets buried & all & all, and at the very end, he gets out of his grave and flies away(he's a d...
