Mainly why I don't want to do it. Lightsabers are the next best thing!

Yes, I know that, he really blows things up.

I mean, does anyone use the special effect explosion clips in the special effects section of MattHawkinsOnline.

And you could insert the human animation into a video clip?

Also, can you design or build an alien type character or something?

So stickmurder, when did you get into filmmaking? I use to go to SS and SW and all them.

I try to stay away from sword fights and such, but I do wanna do a lightsaber fight. I'll just have to study how Star Wars did it!

My whole life will be....

Im downloading a movie right now. COOL!

That's cool, I didn'r know you could convert Swift 3D projects into movie files, well probably because I never tried.

Thank you for the advice, I'll use it wisely.

Hmmm...Cinema 3d and 3d studio Max, whats better?

I know that Matt doesn't have any particular explosions of this, but I am wondering: Does anyone use the explosions in the special effect section in their movies?

From Warcraft 3? Right?

Im not sure bout that...

Maybe I should do a little research.

I ate snails, and it wasn't that bad. Not as bad as frog legs I would imagine.

Im gonna vote for Larry Flynt! Haha

Hey, don't diss air cadetter uniforms! I'm using one in my next film, to act as a dead ex-soldiers uniform, folded up in a suitcase. Yeah.

Who was dissing air cadetter uniforms?

All talk and no explanation is what this is.

If you go to www.freddyvsjason.com and watch the trailer, do you notice that the trailer looks super clear and clean. It was so amazing for me...just look at it, tell me what you think. I want my video to look that clear...

Yeah, The Mothman Prophecies was a very scary movie, and I liked it!

I thought it was a joke when on the home video the alien walked by (looked like someone in a costume, probly was)

Looked like something out of Mad TV.

Watch Hitchcock and M. Night Sha...crazy indean name, he did the sixth sence and signs.

Was that in response to my post?

You have to learn how to make scary shots, study the scariest movie you have seen and study how they make it scary. (How they pan, how they shoot it, music, etc.)

That's my advice.

It can damage the camera.

Wise..very wise words.

Riiight....anyways...

I forgot what I was gonna say.

Originally posted by U.S.Amateurfilmaker If you have a program like combustion, you can rotoscope the soldiers body, create a new layer, and then duplicate the rotoscoped body to give the effect of two or more people. I don't know if you can do this in AE though. Could you do that with a FilmStrip ...
