I think at this point I'm less worried about removing her existing eyes, and more worried about what I'm going to put in place of them. I really dont wanna get into too much 3d like I said but I have a way I think will work, I'll do some mock up tests soon, show you what I'm talking about. thanks fo...

I surely will but it'll be a while

well I think I've figured out what I'm gonna do I'm actually only going to show her eyes up close in like 2 shots, so I'm either A) going to life caster her face and work from there, or do some digital s*** on it... they'll be low motion shots, so I think I can film her, and then film the head with ...

Well I need the actress to be able to see while filming. I also want the eyes to have that "hollow head" look...do you know what I mean?

ok I have a character in a video that has her eyes scraped out... as in She doesnt have eyes for the entirety of the film. You never actually see the scraping, her character is introduced with said wound. now what I had in mind is a latex prosthetic that will go around the actors eyes with gore and ...

...i would imagine blood is whatever color.. that it appears to be..its not like you could percieve it to be something its not...its red... if you dont believe me you have plenty to test it out on, find me some yellow blood and I'll kiss your a** by the way the skin effect its really nice, I'ma defi...

eh I'm not going to get into it with you

but yes I stand by my statement

and you have a small penis apparently...dont be ashamed, it just means your fire effects will suck...

you should just go for the ultra cheesy effect since its completely irrational anyway...you show the guy like run and hurle the pitchfork like a javoline, then you take your camera and spin around really fast like 3 times, take those blurred frames, and loop them so its a constantly moving blur of c...

you're pumping the wrong kinda gasoline padre

goddamnit why didn't i think of recording audio with a laptop? ... f*** ME...its perfect...

eh molotovs dont really EXPLODE!! like a grenade or anything...trust me... .. .... If you just want liquid that looks like gas just make some koolaid (pink and orange should do the trick) Beyond that the only way to really have that molotov effect is to light s*** on fire CG flames are for people wi...

yeah I have access to it...

Hmmmmm...tell ya what I have an idea for a prostehtic piece tahts going over the singers mouth...I'll get it done and just post how that turns out, I have an idea as to how I could film it from certain angles to give it the gaping mouth hole effect..

I'll keep ya posted

the actual jaw ripping scene wont be hard, and I've go the tongue already worked out, but I'm going to need him performing with a missing jaw I didn't know if there was some kind of camera technique I could use or something to create the illusion of him missing his jaw, youknow smoke and mirrors s**...

Ok boys, I need a spot of help. I'm filming a music video for a local band. basically the band is being chased through the woods by a family of creeps and being killed one by one. meanwhile the performance part of the video is the band playing in the woods with a crane cam and a dolly and all that g...

Holy s***....why didn't I think of that?

sometimes I scare myself with my own stupidity...

ok I'm trying to pull old footage off these haggardassed old tapes I've got from way back when. They're just tapes of me and my friends early adventures in filmmaking. I'm playing them through a VCR and I have it rigged up so that its going into my current camcorder. It's playing in the camcorder, I...

OK, I don't think I've ever heard of this before, maybe I'm just being stupid or repeating something someone else has said, BUT I have some very good advice for ANYONE trying to make more disgusting fake blood. Now it goes like this, the fake blood we were using was runny and thin, it looked great i...

It kinda depends on the type of "possession" you're going for. The exorcist went with completely real and creepy, I mean a possessed person isn't going to look much different from a normal person they are just playing host to a demon. If you were a demon and you were inside someone else's ...

MAn that was helpful.... Ok, here's what we do in my films. Live guns, close ups, don't show the target, and for god's sake don't stand in front of the gun, even if you are using blanks. CO2 pellet guns, work great as props, just put alittle baby powder in the barrel and viola! muzzle flash like a M...

Tom savini was originally lined up to do the makeup for the ORIGINAL night of the living dead. But he had to go to vietnam, where he learned even more about dismemberment and the like. He came back and directed the remake of the night of the living dead. He's a makeup genious. His books are almost a...

Hey man, it might be a little late to post this, BUT We're working on a flick right now, and I'm really interested in seeing what you can do for it. I can't get into the details here, but Its a darkly humorous, gore/splatter flick, with action elements. If you read manga, think hellsing and priest m...

yeah dude, its a super easy effect, with very cool results but don't over use it. Nothing says really f*** amateur like the over use of "hollywood" caliber effects.

haha this is so lame. what in the hell would your sex have to do with you submitting a movie to a festival?
If i was 10 years old, and still used the term "grown up", I would do something like this to try and rip people off.... no i wouldnt have I lied, this kids a retard.

I need to muffle my audio and make it sound like your underwater, or unconcious. anyone got any ideas?
