I own the HC1 and cant recommend it enough! The HC3 has been dumbed down compared to the HC1. Trust me on this one, the HC1 is the superior one of the two

There's nothing like making a scene look real- i guess eyeballs made out of play doe will have to do..lol

Why not go the real thing..go to your local butcher and ask for some sheep/pig eyeballs. They throw them out and would give them to you if you told them what it was for. Much more realistic than using candy

Yeh the program is stuffed with crappy cgi thats probably why they pumped the price up. I personally wouldnt spend that much money on the program- but as i said earlier it does has its positives..

aaronv2 i've fiddled with it for a good hour or so..and i can say that it does live up to what it advertises on the website. The beauty of the program is that it demands little to no tweaking to get it right. Yes you're right in the fact that vector keying being an interesting avenue that other majo...

I cant remember which member on here created their own keying program? Would like a link to check it out! Re: Ultra 2, im downloading the trial to see what its like- so far it looks and sounds like a very powerful tool Edited 5 mins later: After searching i found it- Dr Green. credit to jcdenton htt...

With the trial- what does it allow you to do?

Thanks for the help Ornsack all makes sense now!

Back in the day i loved watching wrestling..and i loved buried alive matches!! Anyway, they build a trap door in the grave that the wrestler would sneak into while the dirt is being thrown in the grave so it sounds like you got it covered!

Cute movie- i enjoyed it. I would in future take care with over exposed shots where your shots have too much natural light in it giving off that white glow.. One question, the scene in the bar when the sister gets angry after being called a dyke and her face goes red- where is that borrowed from? Th...

Just watched your movie floogle... I enjoyed it. Nice camera work, editing was good. Lighting was good in most parts except for when they're entering the house- seems like you tried to save this scene in post... more lighting was needed there. Nice little twist at the end which made sense thanks to ...

Do you know those gimmick 'i love you' lollies they sell at candy shops? They're colourful and would look good on camera. See how they go

aaronv2, I vaguely remember seeing that night shot sequence on channel V because I entered it myself! Great to see some solid contributors back on here. Would love to see more of your work

red, i'm on this channel working on 2 shows- this is how it goes. Shows on TVS can use music that's copyrighted but, you need to get it cleared with TVS. I suggest you get in touch with them through email

I watched Wolf Creek when it came out here in Australia- knew it was shot on HDV but not on my camera!lol.. its such a fantastic camera guys i highly suggest- fu*kin awesome camera

Done done and done! I saved up for the comp first..now i'm taking care of the camera. I'm excited

Thanks all for your help- Camera has been ordered and will be ready by Thursday! Awesome!!

Hmm interesting. I went to the camera store today. And it looks like I will be getting the Sony HDR-HC1 after all. Its just a great camera and will stay current for awhile too

Thanks for your replys..Slimdog55, i agree that the HD is a great cam i just cant afford the dam thing! For now, Id like to settle with a good 3ccd chip cam that will deliver great results. I'll have to settle with tweeking my videos in post.. Anyone used or owns a Panasonic NVGS500? --> http://www....

What's everyone think of the new HD cameras being released? Is it worth doing the switch yet or, just buy a good 3CCD? I'm looking to update and am not sure where i should go..

Yeah he did NPMAX thanks to you- much appreciated

aaronv2 you may think it is as easy as lobbing an egg over your head but, after speaking to the gentleman who worked on special effects in ‘The Manson Family’ I found out there are a few things that you wouldn’t think to do…but since you seem to be a know it all I wont both...

JDL..i stared at your gif for about 10 mins..its fantastic..

Sounds interesting. Is there any certain technique to doing this?

I can't help but put that pic up from dawn..
