Nyarh... blender is sloooow and buggy! I used it for over a year >_<

Google ish mai friend,- as always

I use C4D and i've never managed to export anything... why do you need to use another package?

I've been thinking of working on a stargate fanfilm, but finding high quality sounds such as a loop of the stargate rings moving, chevrons locking, etc are hard to find. I've only found recordings of shows so far. Anyone know a way of getting my hands onto,- maybe the original sound effects they use...

*watches the space, that one right there* =P

CRT All the way unless you spend 2000+ on a good LCD...

... i've had quite a few CRTs and LCDs and CRTs just give a much nicer image.
But if you plan on spending 10hrs+ staring at a screen full of code or other text then go for LCD, easier on the eyes...

That's the one I always follow.

w00p! Same same! Most important thing...

Not exactly remake... i used mostly the old footage once and improved on the cutting and editing a bit as well as replaced old Paint/AnimationShop Pro Gif animations with better cgi version... just adding a few little things...

Oooh nice one! Love the way the camera flies down to the surface of the planet, those're my fav kind of shots!

Another nice way of making scenes more chaotic and moving is to move around the actors in circle, works great outside. Try that whith two characters fighting... amazing!

The 3D itself isn't very complex, a few rotating rings and a light object with lens effects behind. It doesnt use any fancy lighting or modeling, but it serves its purpose very well!

Its not anything spectacular. Let me know what you think.

Looks great, simple 3D but effective ^^

Cinema4D r9.5 ALL THE WAY!

I love slow panoramic views following the action of the characters. I hate tightly cropped "blair-witch-style" camerawork that makes me feel sea-sick when I watch it - Like in Battlestar Galatica (New series) for instance. Hell yeah! Since watching BSG TNS i've pretty much abandoned the o...

You don't have a clue about what exactly?

Cinema4D and Magix

Janus... Does the character have any relationship with the ancient Roman god Janus? He was a two faced god who had a temple on one of the hills of Rome. The temple's doors were closed during peace, and opened during war, so that he could help the Romans freely. I was just wondering if there was a r...

Same... if the tank blew you will soon find a fair amount of burning liquid being sprayed all over your body by the pressure so... no

I did an effect like this once, first we ran thick grey goo ( Food coloring, flour and milk ) over the actors head, then we put a kind of tent of cling film over his head ( only for a few seconds at a time obviosuly ) to eliminate the obvious human shape of the head and neck and ran more of the goo ...

wow... i write a basic script with actors lines and basic actions but i make up the shots and angles on the spot, seems to work most of the time...

Ok ... old school is fine with me :roll: First thing i'd do is spread water out over the ground so that it appears dark and wet, closer to the camera i might even try to make some fake puddles with a plastic bag to keep the water in. Then i'd make all of my actors completely wet. You only need water...

I use premiere pro 1.5 for the editing itself but i render and make the credits using Movie Maker 2, works like a charm that little program ^_^

It's got some pretty good text effects and it'll get the job done quickly... and those wmv formats are great *dribble*

*sigh* Just use tomato juice you dummy....
