Heh, sort of wish I had a deadline like that to answer to. Might push someone other than me to do some work.
I'd implore you not to add any more blur, and infact reduce it in places. Out-of-place focal blur will make your otherwise technically ver strong production look amateurish.

Anyway, he's alread blurred it, I just think a tiny blur or a tiny bit of brightness increase would help, that's all. At that distance, you should only blur to match your camera's image sampling. Any lens blur is close to superficial. You're right, I think he has blurred it a little. Possibly sligh...

Nah. Just get good at acting like it has some heft. Easier. Even if I do weight them. I usually just put a steel rod in the barrel and a bag of shot in th place where the clip goes. Not hard. I filled the clip of our airsoft G36 with pennies. Worked a treat. Doing something for real is better than ...

Can I make a point about day-for-night colour grading - please please please, only use it if you HAVE to. If you can film a scene when it's dark and use artificial lighting to illuminate your subjects, then do. Day-for-night CAN be done well. After some experimentation, I've done it for my most rece...

We just went to a local fabric shop and searched through their bargain bin till we found something suitable. Works a treat, and cost us all of £3. You could very cheaply buy enough to cover the inside of a garage. http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/4295/bluescreen1ry1.jpg http://img407.imageshack...

Looks good except for the brown hair, IDK about the motion, test soon? The stunt doubles themselves are pretty much going to be ragdoll - falling down cliffs, and getting thrown about in an explosion. The modelling is going great - the things we have to worry about now are materials and lighting. T...

Some WIP - shots of the CGI double for Liam. It isn't going to be involved in any closeups, just some fairly distant shots that we can't physically do. We're working on materials and shaders now. http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/3161/liamtestsn7.jpg http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1272/liams2mb...

How can you keep it on your computer?

Yes, but only because inteference particles from DV tape can make sane patients go mental, or something.

RE: How many DV Tapes do you have?
I always keep my tapes, since storing the raw footage on a hard drive isn't generally practical and I'll inevitably want to tweak something in the far future.
At the moment, we have about 30 miniDV tapes from various projects. The Forest II alone has 7 tapes (and counting...)

It is blurred already - infact I blurred it to match the colour sampling of the PAL DV footage. Thinking about it, however, I did forget to take into account the fact that I enlarged the original footage by 10% to allow stabilisation, so it probably does need a little more blur. Here's a comparison ...

Is it anything like the first one? Bad plot (if I can remember) but pretty entertaining. Do you guys use a Pd-150? You're right, terrible plot, and frankly it should never have become a full short. The second one follows similar lines but with a few extra twists plot-wise, a better script, and obvi...
