I try and keep everything I shot though some tings have been taped over eather from poor planing or being a bit poor from time to time, but nothing major has been taped over before.

Just get a building that could be remotely plosable for what your going for, and maybe put in a sound effect of a plane going overhead. I would be carful trying to get stock footage of an air port yourslef as they are still on edge, we had some people arrested a few weeks ago here for filming the ai...

Ya ya I've been gone for a long time, school wow and stuff, most making failed cr** but here is something I finished last week.

and yes my kitchen is disgusting.

I made one with an air compresser hooked to a tube, at the end of the short tube was a ball valve, that we would close to start, and then a longer tube where we would put the gore. you hit the compresser for a few seconds, filling the small tube with compresed air then open the ball valve and it fli...

was one I had been waitting to see for a long time, loved it.

If you have a noraml boom on your cam your probably fine, the theater also probably has the actors on stage with mics, eather lepel or shotgun and that sound is going out to the audeance. But take your cam with you to the matinee and do a sound test.

damn got to this a little to late, the link has already been taken down.

So far good ideas, I'll read the short story after class. The zombies have that no explanation kind of like remero zombies. and it is transmited in bites. Read the story, was very good think there is total potental to have that done as like an audio recording. Insted of him writing it out he is talk...

well just post your idea thats what we are trying to get, all the ideas in one place.

will do

I need to go back and refersh myself on everything I put down idea wise in type, but the idea is still rattling around in my head, look for another massive update, I'm going to run with this as it seems the easyist to make and still not flunk collage. But I am totaly now back and want to go a head w...

Ok I'm back and not fighting with my life anymore (in that I have my s*** togther now). Well I had the begings of a script that I lost in a reformat a while ago, but my basic ide was that the videos were all things that a guy had found on the net about the zombie outbreak. That was found by commando...

Wow lots of suport has been garnered while I was away. So baicly what this is saying is I should put my sci-fi opus script on the back burner and work on zombies again.

It would probably be best to wait and see if a cool a** title come out of the projects themselves, but I always liked "the zombie files" because it stuck to the idea of a sigle guy archiving the entire ordeal.

its cool to see that there is still intrest in them, I shall come back and give this a really strong think over when I am sober.

The problem that I always saw coming up with the ideas was that to many of them felt like little movies, and not just what people would have captured with their home cammeras. Granted this is one onf the many movies that I came up which while sitting in my Mass Com classes talking about the internet...

Its a good idea, that probably should be reserected. I always thought it was the best way for the whole lot of us to actualy do a movie. Granted I have been gone for a very long time, so I missed a lot, this might actualy be a good project to get back into movies with. but don't hold me to that, I j...

The hardist shot I had to do was a ring of fire smoke effect. It only involved the actor siting in a ring of fire looking around then walking out of frame with lots of smoke. But we were shooting it as a high shot in a garage, and the set up was, rags soaked in ibpropal alchohol, and 4th of July smo...

sit down look at your charators, and deside which ending works the best for the type of people you are writing about. Because when you sit down and look at it the happy ending might not feel right or real, same for the sad one. Also remember that some times in real life stuff doesn't change. Write t...

you can probably set the permaiters of the video when you eather capture, start a new project or render look at that, Also it might just look that way check and see if your preview window has somthing, that says restet to native. Or look and see if the program even suports widescrean because that co...

And that movie was probably also shot in 16:9, I'm not sure how you would add parts the image with out just straching the video.

Lots of slow wide shots pans across nature as cuts between action the action movies in a little bit then the cam will move and each bit is only shot from that area. converastions are now almost all shot with strict adherance to the rule of 180. sowrds slow lead ups to the action people walking down ...

any time, any time. Its a hard button to find took me a while, I had to look it up in the mamuth manual which I have on my shelf, that I had to print because I just bought the download version, well the download upgrade.

That was a good little video, nothing new but very well explaned.

Vagas 6 does have the little disk button on top of the video preveiw window, and if its not the disk that is where the butten is so start pressing things, its been a while since I was taking screan caps.
