WEll well well, looks like we'll be filming Wednesday...I doubt it. But we can always hope.

Lol, funny stuff DaveP.

Here's a classic, long knife through the stomach then rip all the way up through the chest.

Also I lost my mic stand, so i ripped off a zombie's head and jabbed the mic in its skull, works great!

:p'n'l: :p'n'l: :p'n'l: I have found probably the best technique for making muzzle flashes. All you need is powerful firecrackers, black sheet of fabric, PVC or metal pipe. At night time, set the black sheet against a wall or somethin'. Next, use a PVC or metal pipe (preferably metal...thick metal)....

Damn good.

I have no prob getting my parents or grand-parents acting, it's just that...they can't act.

So i need ppl who can actually...act, ya know. I want some old enough actors that can act, should I put a big ad in the paper?? or what?

That'd be awesome, but damn..., you'd need alot of SFX.

It's bout a female assassin who is fired (literally) because she didn't complete a hit. But anyway, the movie is no longer going to be dark, it's now action again, with lots of it.

Don't worry yall, i should be filming the COleman-Millie action scene soon.

I thought it was alright, but (if i had a 3D program) I would've given it real photo realistic textures. Also, i thought the way the knife was flying was kinda strange lookin, I also loved the knife flipping thing.

That was just boring to me, I didn't think it was funny at all. Sorry for the bad comment, but it's the truth.

Might be like 15 min or so. I might be filming tomorrow.

Get ready ppl, I will probably be filming next week! ....finally

Anyway, watch for it, don't just pass up this thread, later I'll edit this post and add the link to it.

Shouldn't be too much longer, maybe bout a...week or two.

I'd love to use squibs, but I can't find a safer way. I don't wanna use the firecracker technique, way too dangerous. If any1 has a safer way to do squibs, please tell me.

Pretty cool, (this is what I think) but at the beginning you started the music off too late, and a few shots were shaky, but it was cool. I woulda had the music slowly fade up though.

Yeah it friggin called "food dye" why wouldn't you be able to digest large amounts of it, that makes no sense. But, still, you can't be too careful.

I've thought about the firecracker routine also, but are there any safer ways??

Nah, 24mb isn't big. Gyro's film "Forgotten" was like 80mb so I'd say you're quite a bit behind. Also, I'm just about to watch the film. EDIT: Pretty cool movie :wink: But the ending with the off-screen dialogue, I think that coulda been made better with the guy walking in slow-mo, well ti...

FINALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kool, but you took your sweet time!

Shorten the description, ppl like me don't like to read much. But like Matt said, I read the 1st sentence adn it sounds kool.

Lol, kool. But, yes there is some Detonation films stock footage in there.

To budgetguy and cwf--I got the stock footage from Detonationfilms.com and also I didnt add motion blur to the casing. That's just the way it looked.

One last note, that's me shootin the guns if you didnt know.

Awesome! since this is an aciton drama kinda movie, I only laughed at 1 part, and that was seeing Darth Triad with his head chopped off. I just really thought that was funny, but everythings else was perfect! Great Job! Also it is inspiring to make my movies better.

Every audiance counts..

Too true 13lade. Can some direct me to some good web hostings? I don't wanna spend the next 7 years using Epsilon's server to show my movies.

Well thanks UFP, but true, I did get lazy with a few. :) I started on this a few weeks ago and I didnt really have time, plus I didnt want to. I have to study for mid-terms, plan out 9Millie, and cope with the reality of my actress rejecting me bcuz of her boy-friend in North Carolina and then takin...

I watched Gothika today, then I say your title was Not ALone, I knew you got it from Gothika!

I capture whatever I got, whenever I got it. I film one day, capture right when I get home. And repeat the next time I film.

Cool, thanks.
