how can you embed vids cos i have tried in the past and only get script code

Thanks for the comments, most of the rendering lasted between 3 minutes and 3 hours on each scene. As this is only a beta the voice is cr** because it was a quick last minute thing as i wanted to get it online quick, I will go back and change them. trying to find a voice changing program. I know wha...

This originally started out for me to learn how to use 3d studio max, but evolved into a small movie. EVERYTHING is CGI including the Darth maul Character. All models used where from scifi3d.net. I used 3d studio max 8 adobe after effects and sony vegas. I am continuing the video, this is just a sho...

I have visionlab, its the ultimate program. I remember when they brought out alamdv2. I thought that was great until i learnt that its too 2d and not good for most things. But they have come a long way since then and its a great alternative to adobe products

take out the explosion noise, cause there is no sound in space silly :) I know, however could you imagine a star w2ars space battle without any sound? Pretty boring. If I do another one I won't bother putting in a moon again, and yes the asteroid did wipe out everything, because it was massive, eve...

I'd blur the snow that's close to the camera because a DV camera would never pick up fine drops in front of the camera like that But that would show the inconsistency of using a camera. Its like people who say that the motion blur looks bad in a certain film. In reality, there is no motion blur, if...

you can download the dvd that has all of these effects, they are in quicktime format in pretty high definition, you kind of have to buy the dvd, however someone told me you can get them on bit torrent

this is my very first ever rendered video using bryce 6 to animate an x wing flying passed the camera. Please don't expect it to be great, as i only just learnt how to use the program and how to animate. It took about 6 hours to render this and only 5 minutes to animate it. Since I made this vid, i ...

Here are some more, this is one mountain, a desert and the sea. i have taken some snapshots at different times in the day to show you how vast the graphics are and how the colors change in different light settings.

loody hell, 8 hours for that? Damn good you weren't filming castaway or lord of the rings, you would be buggered then

lol they strange thing is i have no idea, i messed around with all the settings and stuff and that is what i ended up with. I probably wouldn't be able to get those settings exactly the same again until i get a bit more practice. The problem i am having is i dont quite know how to animate yet, becau...

that looks great, I am still at beginner stage learning how to change the colours and get it looking good. Here is my island

its the full video for the modball trailer i posted up. The company have one of their mechanics posing as a show car girl, but in order for it to look good they have tied him down while they wax his legs, chest and eyebrows, i think it would be quite suited being played in the background

lol as silly as it sounds i knew the answer but just after i posted that message I realised I meant to say pc to video not dvd to video

After i have edited my videos and put them on dvd how do i get them onto video tape?

no no no, i have heard it on loads of tv programs and adverts, its been about for a while on a lot of things

i would like to add, that if you buy it, be careful because potassium nitrate is on the government watch list for bomb making. I hope anyone here isn't stupid enough to make such a thing, but obviously if you need to get hold of it from the proper channels make sure you are Very clear on the reason ...

can anyone tell me the name of this music played in the background of this video or even give a link to it?

here is Earth Explosion 2.1 gave it an asteroid, different explosions and a bit of earth and moon rotation as well

yes i am in the middle of earth explosion 1.2 complete with asteroid I wont be adding bruce willis in the 2nd version

i used the particle system in after effects to blow out the final bits. it was a first attempt so i will more than likely do another better one and tweak it up some

heres a great site for guns, equipment and costumes, i got a lot of paintball stuff from here and they do outfits, nightvision, abseiling stuff, pretty much anything you need to make a black hawk down film

Ops Gear

the stock footage explosions i used where very quick so i had to use a few of them in the same place to keep it going on

here is something I made as a kind of promo for my site, but was rather surprised on how well it turned out.

I did it all in after effects and even have a tutorial for it

once it starts burning, you will not be able to put it out until it burns itself out (usually 30-60 seconds) I thought that covered the fact it burns. The baked bean can is usually tough enough to use but the cupcake holders are usually for real small smoke effects that burn out in 10 seconds, howe...
