ok i have the footage now. whenever there is a blank shot of the sky you willl see the helicopter. also when he is running across the rof in slo mo. i have a miniture model and i can animate 3d blades so i think i will do that BUT if a.gotsa.fan could send me his video that would be good. have a look and see what you think.

Its not letting me see it...
What i think you should do is the good old fashioned 'take-a-tutorial-from-a-random-program-then-get-it-to-work-in-yours'.
http://wondertouch.com/tutorials/matrix ... copter.htm
You could achieve that in adobe premiere pro, or after effects.
Try it out, i think it would work well. And you dont need the shells falling down.

lol "australias funniest home videos" quality. i love how your pimping a trench coat but wearing 3/4 pants.

since the shot isnt moving i could maybe comp a copter in there for you... other wise i could render one with an slpha channel

otherwise
most if not all of that short film was allll wrong

Yeah thats kinda funny. Is the movie supposed to be a comedy? Because some of the emotions ur actor used were really quite hallerious. Yeah, dont u like have pants?
Also, not trying to be mean or anything. But if you want to use effects like that, try to either cut down on them/learn how to do them properly/ or do them for real.
Its looking really 2 star at the moment.
NO OFFENCE! Everyone always seems to take offence at my critisism.

Jimbobsquarepants · Post by **Jimbobsquarepants** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 8:10 am

i think i know what you mean. do you mean the bullet hits on the ground? and yeah its sorta gunna be a comedy/action movie. like ispy.

aaronov it would be sooo fantastic if you could render me a chopper with an alpha channel. does that mean i wont have to key it in because it will already have transparency set up?

yeh the video quality. its only tha quality because its on youtube. the final film will be 720/576 25fps

aaronv2 · Post by **aaronv2** » Tue Oct 24, 2006 9:59 am

the bullet hits need to use layer modes to eliminate the black banding you see around it from the chroma missing some of the darker colors. learn how to shoot a proper sequence some of that editing was so awful.

yes the copter footage will have transparency it will be so good even the motion blur will have proper transparency wow! lol

P.S rhys find your own criticisms instead of reinforcing mine lol no offence

Its all good. Dont take arronv2 offensively, just imagine the words said light-heartedly kinda like a housewife (no offence).

Jimbobsquarepants · Post by **Jimbobsquarepants** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 9:07 am

ok ive redone the bullet hits there is no black banding you can see detailed bits of dust etc. aaronov will i have to pay you if you do a helicopter? (plzsayno)

aaronv2 · Post by **aaronv2** » Wed Oct 25, 2006 2:29 pm

rhys · Post by **rhys** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 3:20 am

3d is a long, tedious art, especially if u want it arronv2 quality.

Jimbobsquarepants · Post by **Jimbobsquarepants** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 9:07 am

aaronv2 · Post by **aaronv2** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 8:06 am

ill try and get it done soon but im really busy with some 3ds for work right now.

Jimbobsquarepants · Post by **Jimbobsquarepants** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 8:23 am

wow thats fantastic! shall i email you the footage so you know what angle to put it at etc. dont actually composite it in though just render it ith an alpha channel. thanks!

rhys · Post by **rhys** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 9:05 am

Or he could do as he likes and make it look well, and then you change your angles to suit it. That way, we can all use the footage. And it only takes like a couple of minutes to get some new angles.

Jimbobsquarepants · Post by **Jimbobsquarepants** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 10:54 am

yeh but i wont be able to film at that place again so..

rhys · Post by **rhys** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 11:58 am

Jimbobsquarepants · Post by **Jimbobsquarepants** » Sun Oct 29, 2006 1:18 pm

Jimbobsquarepants · Post by **Jimbobsquarepants** » Mon Oct 30, 2006 6:43 pm

hey aaronov when there is the shot of him hiding on the roof the helicopter needs to fly past him from left to right, and when theres the shot of the sky after the car blows up can it be coming between the trees?
