I was thinking of cutting that right when some of the blood was shooting out, and then getting a different angle of the guy falling with some blood on his face. I think it wo...

You don't even need the luma stuff. In Final Cut Pro (it's probably different than Premeire) you just go to Effects>Video Filters>Color Key. Then you just use the eye dropper to take a sample of what you want color keyed. Anyways, if you want the blood spurt post your email, and after you see it, pl...

Hey, I filmed it. I did it against a piece of white paper (I don't know what you use to edit, but I use Final Cut Pro) and you should be able to color key it out (I haven't used Premiere (if you use that) but it probably has a color key thing). The only thing is that it looks greyish because the lig...

I thought of an idea for a way to do a frontal view headshot without showing tubes or anything (sorry if this idea has been posted before) Get a cloth, (preferably black) and cut a small hole in it. Then attach a tube coming out from the back. Fill the front of the tube with bloody stuff or red spon...

But in movies nobody wants small muzzle flashes. Thats why they take that thing off the gun. i forget what its called but for people who own real autos it has something that minimizes the flash, but for movies you want the opposite. I shot an M-16 not too long ago and the flashes were small (like th...

But can I download that one?

Can anyone make a shell case ejecting over a blue/green background for me. (AVI) Thanks

Yeah, that was awesome Clarence. I have Final Cut Pro and I just use it for bluescreening, adding in muzzle flashes and things like that, so I don't know what you mean by "keyframing" I use blur, but what is keyframing, and could you teach me how to do it? Thanks

I tested this method out but with mixed results. Firstly was that my friend watched me while I threw the egg at him, so he flinched, and when it is finally cropped, it does not look that good. But, the blood effects looked good and I could hardly even see the eggshell. My advice would be to not let ...

Does anyone have a good transparent Sniper Scope view that they did in photoshop that I could use. I have tried making them but cannot get them to look very good. Thanks

thanks, i will give that a try

http://www.kapowwe.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=1-2-720&Category_Code=SpringAction this gun is pretty cheap, and it is good for movies. the stock is retractable, and it is lifesize. If u also want it for a airsoft gun, dont get it. it is (308 fps) which is pretty fast ...

this wouldnt be explosive, but it gives a good effect. take a small ziplock bag and fill it with fake blood. tape it to your actor and have them put a shirt over it (white shirt is the best) and then have somebody with a airsoft gun behind the cam shoot it. the bag pops and the blood goes all over.

I want to explode a model car for my next movie and I was wondering if someone could give me some tips. i have tryed spraying my lighter with hairspray/deoderant spray, but it hasnt worked well. the flame just burns. i have also tried this: i took the cap of a jar and filled it with NOS (nitrus oxid...

Thanks, i will give it a try
