Go to File, preferences, then light saber effect.

I'd say either a Canon or Sony miniDV camera with maybe a microphone jack and white balance, that's it. Any other gimmick on a camera is just for show and to make money, sort of like a remote which is only good if yo're making animation and night vision if you film things in the dark without a light...

BRILLIANT!! I actually didn't understand it at all but that's the way you wanted it, nice editing and the melting of plasticine.

You mostly just need to work on your editing skills and having a plan for the actors instead of telling them to act scared or whatever, It was hard to understand because a couple people were talking at the same time, like unorganized.

BTW I love Bad Taste, hopefully will be seeing a sequel.

Looks like it got good rating, and make sure it has a good warranty. Do some come with firewire? I'm getting one somewhat soon and would think it would make the transfer much quicker.

Probably the worst advice ever J, I love putting MAC OS X on my Window's machines also.... Internet Explorer can get filled with spyware and such which would make it a great idea to get Firefox.

I don't think WMM will import footage grainier since it's free, I'm pretty sure It's your camera. Try filming stuff with more light.

That book is what you need to rent from your library, shows how to do everything from sugar glass to molding bottles.

Yeah, they take the movies the day before vacation to make sure it's school appropriate.

So I have a film competition at my school and the deadline (stated on January 24) is February 9th. The people sponsoring it don't know a lot about movies, hence the quick deadline and calling it an "Indie" film festival incase any of us were from Hollywood... The movies are going to be jud...

someone must have been bored, I thought of it to be a comedy more than drama

haha hes come and gone, its called spam

Great advice from RHYS once again...

Wow, I didn't know it was that powerful. I still don't even know Final Cut that much...

I thought shake was only for pictures, anyways I'm learning motion 2.1.2 which is like magic bullet.

It almost looks like film.

You have a squib?

Sponge wouldn't work, cold foam would but would need an outer layering of latex.

Chromakey works for colors other than green or blue which is why some people use it. I used it in my test because it wasn't pure green and didn't work with the greenscreen filter.

Looks good except for the brown hair, IDK about the motion, test soon?

I thought that place was still unsafe to go to, it would be cool if it was still "in ruins" like the time it was abandoned. IDK if you can make a movie out of it, I'd just take good shots of it if I were you.

Change the titling to a new color... other than that, I think the movie somehow made me dumber in the field of moviemaking.

I probably have around 8 digital8 tapes, taping over stuff that's garbage.

It's just I don't belevie you could get all those famous people for a ow budget movie of yours, I'm glad I'm not the only Troma fan here.
