mess around with the EQ setting in audio effects till you get the desired effect

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

That is it!

I owe you one, and thanks to everyone else who spent their time looking too.

no, i checked it out, and that's not it.

any other ideas as to what the song is?

Ok, maybe a song that is like "Before the dawn" by Evanescence it starts out soft, then moves into a more powerful part anything out there like that? and does anyone know the song that starts in the middle of this remix? http://www.esnips.com/doc/cf4caf60-1059-4a75-aaa2-d51b2f5c8421/LOTR-v...

hey, thanks KFE.

our film is star wars, so that really fits in perfectly.

any others?

In my upcoming film, the protagonist's mentor leaves him.

I need a song that starts out slow/soft with a guitar maybe, that transitions, becoming louder with a drum beat. something heartfelt or inspirational. again, starts out slow, ends with a bang.

any ideas?

That could work, but what about those who want to help but don't have fast enough internet? Are there even sites where you can upload and download 400MB files regularly? Are there even those out there willing to spend weeks of their time for others (just being realistic here) I'm willing to put fort...

Its under the render folder

One thing I noticed was that the depth of field is really shallow, so I have to get really close or zoom in alot to use the focus well. how can i get around this, and use the focus noticeably at distances of 6 feet or so?

how do i do this?

What equipment do you have? This is what will often make a good film a great one. Can you accomplish this film? If you can answer yes to all these questions, then I feel that you can accomplish this film: Can you... 1) get enough actors to film in a believable way (as in, not 3 cops and 5 people in ...

Heck yeah.

Good luck with that - my school is Catholic private too, so we couldn't have any swearing. No blood when we cut a teacher in half with a lightsaber too.

maybe you can film with the swear words, and censor them out for any copies seen by the school.

Premiere Pro has an effect called lightning. Tweak this effect around to get what you want.

You will need to put lots of work to film this. Already, you need locations for a home, another house, and a school. You will need many, many actors. You will either need to rent out several emergency vehicles, use 3D, or a combination. You need a news van, or at least a plain van with a dish satell...

If you can get this done in time for next year, see about entering your film here

I just put a few entries in.

page 28 - MIKE WALKS UP THE STAIRS LEADING TO THE MAIN ENTRANCE. HE OPENS THE DOOR AND ENTERS THE MAIN CORRIDOR. A GROUP OF STUDENTS LOOK UP AND SMILE AT MIKE. MIKE AIMS THE RIFLE AT THE GROUP AND FIRES AT RANDOM. THE STUDENTS FALL DOWN DEAD. No one likes Mike, so why does the group smile at him? Ma...

Police cars for a huge school shooting? If you can, put some SWAT trucks in there, maybe by 3D or photoshop if the outside shot is on a tripod.

He walks to school with a rifle?

That's a bit noticeable, and how would you even get inside, with students around? Wouldn't they notice the kid everyone makes fun of walking up with a gun? Either have him sneak in somewhere or have him use a smaller gun. An automatic?

Will finish tomorrow afternoon by 5pm eastern time

MIKE DODGES THE BOTTLE, HE RUNS TO THE OPEN DOOR. HE RUNS OUT AND SLAMS THE DOOR SHUT BEHIND HIMSELF.

IN THE BATHROOM

MIKE HAS PLACED THE SKETCH OF KATIE OVER THE SINK.


First Mike runs outside, then next shot he is back inside...oh wait, is the open door the hallway with the bathroom outside it?

I'm halfway through with it now. Here's what I see. This is really well written. Consider using Celtx, it's a free download of scriptwriting software, takes care of the format and easy to learn. Check into that. in the beginning, Kai is all for Mike going out with Katie. The next scene with him, Kai...

That was well done!

Where'd you get the sound effect?

One way to improve this would be to fade the smoke trail immediately after the explosion. It hangs around too long.

Yeah, today I'm gonna spend study hall in the art room with the digital arts teacher learning this camera

Thanks. I'll post the vid of this effect by Wednesday

email it to me
