Flamethrower help.

Post by F.F.F. »

Does anyone know where I can find flamethrower footage for my war of the worlds film?
The footage must be on a black background.

lol .. this actually works... I did this for a film once, (my friend was set on fire by using this technique :D ) It worked out quite well. I filmed short blasts of fire at night, and I easily keyed out the black background.

It worked well and yet it set your friend on fire. Interesting...
If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.

Yeah, you could also release a canister of natural gas (where would you get that from????) and light a match. Of cousre there is also another technique, nick a buncen burner from a science lab, attach it to a natural gas plug, turn the gas on and let it flood out, then light the matche a couple of metres fro the buncen! Yay! Fire! This really can inge you!
