Shooting test

[Magic-Man]

Here is a really small film in which i shoot someone for no apparent reason. It aint great, but it was to test blood and gunshots.

That was pretty good, im a bit dubious of tests now, but it was a lot better than i expected (no offence). Did it take long to produce?

[Bocca]

apart drom the sound effects being out, that was pretty good.

Were they digital or physical?

[Magic-Man]

not really, bout 10 mins to film and bout an hour to edit, do special fx etc and upload.

For some damn reason, youtube makes the last gunshot go out of sync...

oh and everything was digital

[DEDFX]

The cam should have panned out on the gun then we see the shot, IMO

[UFProductions]

Bloody impressive, tell us what you used, it looked great.

[Magic-Man]

I used blood stock from detonation films, smoke stock and bullet shell stock. For the recoil of the pistol, i did that in photoshop over the space of 3 frames.

[Headless_Duck_Productions]

Really good. Liked the smoke.

[Zac]

yeh that was really good, i liked the smoke as well. cept im not sure if i like it how you do a second zoom-out after he's shot him once, but the first zoom-out looked wicked.

P.S yay! im not the only one whos audio goes out of sinc on youtube. it happens to me all the time, i'd recomend using video.google.com until youtube fix the problem.

[rhys]

that was pretty good, i should try it out sometime. I like the gun, is it a toy painted, airsoft, or....? I want one.

[Magic-Man]

some real old 007 gun i found in my house, i really need to get new guns but i am absolutely skint. If you look real close, you can see the 007 sign on it haha

Most of that was good, something that bothered me about it though was how the spent casing was straight as it fell down. Casings usually tumble around as they're ejected from the gun.

by the recoil...do you mean the slide blowback? im curious how you did that, because you cant really tell that it was done any other way then physically...so...i guess that means great job!

It looked fine to me. The casing typically has a backspin, a result of the spring used to project the casing out of the chamber as effectively as possible.

[Magic-Man]

Ye, i need to get some casing stock or get a blank gun...but i don't see me getting one of those.

[Zacatac927]

magic man ..... WHAT did you film it on....?

[Magic-Man]

oh, i filmed it on a DV camera

[Jimbobsquarepants]

just wonderig, can u send me some some stock footage? spaceastronaught@aol.com

[Magic-Man]

Detonation Films.....

[mercenary123]

I think what Zacatac927 is trying to say is, what model DV cam did you film it on? I'd like to know aswell.

[Zacatac927]

Yah thank mercenary. Ive been hassleing him for a bit asking him and he has yet to answer me... i guessed a dv cam, but if that was it how did you get the godlike film looks?

[aaronv2]

you all call yourself film makers but how come noone noticed he walks from camera left to right... then it cuts to him walking right to left immediately after... BIG FAT NO NO.... You NEVER do that or cross the imaginary line.

[Magic-Man]

hahaha, yeh i was wondering if anyone was going to notice that. Well done for spotting that, despite how blantently obvious it is. I did that because if got the correct shot, you would see a washing line or my house in the background and i wanted to keep a greenery background. (it is only a test after all) I got the film look with magic bullet. And my camera isn't special like a hd or 3ccd. If it was, i would have stated it. It is just a usual dv camera, which is why i am going to buy a tasty hc3.

[OutcastJiob]

I liked it. I did notice the left/right right/left however, but it's not a huge deal in a test.

As for the camera: this goes to show it's not so much what you shoot with as it is how you shoot.
