MattHawkins Online - Film Making Forum

Alot of you guys seem to enter your films into competitions i have learned through reading posts on here, but what music do you use, wouldnt you be breaking copyright laws?

these are the characters names for my spoof action film Jack stone bret reed harry patch ( one of the last british survivors of ww1) tony rodriguez richard boston me and my mate just made them up in a few minutes, so my advice is to get somone to help you and one says the first name then someone els...

thanks for the help, much appreciated although my effects team are not that experienced and dont as yet have the know how to add in CGI planes etc but your camera shot ideas were very helpful

ok hows about the grenade ?

cool website but its not much help

i'm stuck on two aspects of a movie i'm making fairly soon, one is how to blow somone up with a grenade without actualy using anykind of explosives, is it best to use CGI ? and secondly making it seem like 5 people have parachuted out of an aeroplane, and hitting the ground i can easily get footage ...

the colours are to bright

o yer Bob Hoskins "tell our men to stop shitting their pants" in enemy at the gates, cracks me up every time

A) dont have one
B) THE PIANIST-legendry i also thought TAXI DRIVER was excellent
C) steven speilberg-i mean come on he made jurassic park
D) robert deniro, charlton heston, mel gibson

well im anticipating some harsh critiscisms of some productions i'm hoping to post on here in the near future so i thought i'd get in there first so then i can say "well its obvious your only saying this because of what i said about yours, ya goon" I'M ALWAYS THINKING ONE STEP AHEAD, plus ...

nahh have to disagree there the writing that comes up looks amateurish not very flowing and quite broken and disjointed, which i would deduct several merits for, at the end of the day i'd look for an alternative career if i were you mate

lets here more about that project satanic cookie i desperately need squibs

i thought the script was well written and overall made the film alot better, what a great collection of guns aswell you just cant get stuff like that across the atlantic i thought the camera work was good but maybe the story in some parts was a bit lacking like why two hitmen would put a bomb in the...

fair enough ive never seen brain dead but yer i dislike romeros interpretation but its still interesting to see them

i wish i could make a none violent film but unfortunately my imagination does not work in that way
but yer i liked it i liked ye old camera work myself and your right kent that was some catchy music

Any director should bring there own interpretation you cant produce a hand book on how zombies should act it rather takes the fun out of it

yer that realy annoyed me how can a mass of corpses that eat innocent people then turn around and think hang on a minute this is a bit unfair we have slaughtered millions of them and then totaly unprovoked they come out of the blue and kill our freinds lets go and eat the few that escaped. And then ...

thats been most helpfull thanks i think i'm going to use it in all my films

plus i think its funny how its been in so many films

ok in the film troy when the mermadons or whoever are assaulting the beaches one gets hit with an arrow and falls of the boat whilst making this noise

i wanted it because it shows attention to detail and i thought it would be a good thing to have in my film

dont know whether youll have a clue what im talking about but has anyone ever noticed that in nearly all action films when a grunt/henchman dies they play this aaaahhhhh sound couple of examples are troy and starwars episode three anywho if you know what im talking about could anyone get hold of thi...

why dont you watch enemy at the gates that could be useful, but judging from your interest in war you probably have it in the war movie collection in your room like me.

i think some of you guys are way to bothered about the fine details i can understand comments about timing of the weapon motions and sounds etc but in such a quick moving action film is it realy worth dwelling on these issues i thought it was realy good and look forward to the finished piece but i t...

what realy makes or breaks a film for me is background information and this didnt seem to have alot and the gap between him finding that dead women and then turning up at the wearhouse could have been crammed full of stuff

I haven't had that much experience editing, so can any one tell me exactly what green screening is ?

I dont actually know how they did the walks but could they of possibly deleted a frame or two to make it gittery
