Someone on this board asked me to attempt the orbing effect... I looked at a little clip he sent me and had a go. Below is what i got and i need to ask all the charmed watchers out there if it looks any good?

Nuts! I'm a huge Charmed fan but I can't play WMV files. Any chance of a Quicktime file?

Pretty good. Just try to keep the tripod a little steadier.

Epsilon you want it steadier? What are you Muhummad Ali? I can't see one tiny shake in that shot. Well I guess it wasn't my footage it was his (We don't get much snow in australia)

P.S for all you people who like quicktime BEHOLD! *waves hands*

Of course all those Quicktime People wouldn't need Quicktime if they had PCs!

Yeah, I remember the original post, I responded to it cuz I watch Charmed all the time (all though none of the 3 main orbing characters are my favorite)

This looks very close to the show's effect. But you've yet to explain how you did it???????????????
(BTW -- I love those pants! LOL)

Quicktime is better overall, because more people can view .mov files than avi or wmv. I think the quality is fairly good as well.
