Ornsack and I own a brothel in 2nd Life. We get a 50/50 cut from employees who essentially rent space from us. This pays for our property itself. All we do is sit back and let the credits roll in. We have cashed in roughly 2.5million Linden dollars in the last 12 months. This does convert back to Am...

Depends on your film, your scene and the effect you are after. Remember that knowledge is power

I guess so. Do a search here as I am sure some site links have been posted at some stage

Hmmm I don't think for the contraption you are talking about. For a portable squib like device yes

I would say do not do stupid things publically, construct it properly and experiment with types gases, amounts and types of shot. Just remember that they can project things very fast and hard. As I have said i have seen a hole blown through a car door, an orange shot through a windscreen and a host ...

Hmmm this may sound stupid but what is your intended film about? This will help with title options

Using compressed air to propel the shot, as oppossed to a small focused explosion of gases. Most kids over here use the old electric oven lighter and hair spray type. You need good glue for the pipes and fresh pvc. Any fault in that baby and you may also go BOOM lol. I had one seperate in my hands o...

just use it wisely. Don't go running down your street shooting dogs with it. Us guerillas have to be smart and cautious. I shot a bottle through a car door with one in my younger days lol. Was also shot by one with a load of baked beans at close range.

Hmm I call it a orange gun or spud canon. Basically either a explosion or compressed air based funnel like gun that can shoot what ever you like out of it like fake blood, confetti, ball bearings etc. I prefer air based n a metal tube as it is safer than explosive based (based on first hand knowedge...

Hmmm "un-install and re-install" would hopefully be an easy and quick fix .

Guys keep politics out of this thread! his is not a social debate thread.

It depends on your experience, your style and your capabilities

the originality in it is the collaboration itself. So many directors with their own stories to tell

looks cool in a robot chicken way

watch the documentary "X-tream Martial Arts", that is full of pretty stuff lol. One dude with a katana is awesome

oh so you mean mostly the combat ineffective stuff lol.

How do you make Sais, butterfly knives and throwing knives look pretty?

Yes styrofoam would be your easiest and safest bet. It can be easily sculptured also

what is a replay transition?

Yes Rhys there has been a lot of help here directed to your original question! Lights are a good investment and can be used for productions for many years to come, not just for a once off.

Depending on the genre of vampire you are talking about. Remember most cultures have them and most do not own castles, wear suits and look like attractive people lol. Vampires would not suck the blood of the dead (in pop culture). The zombies would have to be very intelligent to win!

nice job and thanks for the helping hand

Hmm you could give it a light coating of gelatin and paint, hmmm some car dent mix, hmmm many ways

I use AVG and Spybot
