Can't see how a split-screen'd look shite if u used a tripod. Neways ours didn't - the result was quite satisfactory I thought. It seems way 2 easy 2 get carried away and go overboard wid professional, techy stuff when the simpler alternatives are often just as good. just a thought... It'll look go...

for adobe photoshop?
um, not really, I tend to use After effects when I mask people out in moving images...

Couldn't you just split-screen? - seems by far the easiest option 2 me, thatz what we're doing for our assaulting S.W.A.T. team as we only have four uniforms, and for our Helm's Deep spoof! Jus thinkin of ways to save time and effort... well if you want to save time, you just do it quickly, and the...

The English youth national final U/15 boys hurdles 2003 was won by a boy with a broken foot! How did he do it? Because his father hypnotised him b4 the race. I know, because that boy was I!! That sounds a bit harsh, so you had a broken foot & your dad said, sod this, i'm going to hypnotise you ...

exactly.

haha, true

well greenscreen/ bluescreen whateva' they have the same purpose...

you need to use a greenscreen, or you could do it without one, but that's tricky, you need to mask everyone you're going to have multiple times, and if you don't do it good, it'll look like s***. greenscreening is the best thing to do, then you only have to delete the green and apply the guy to the ...

c'mon now, it's a good idea, but he needs to shorten the movie, it doesn't have to be more than like 2-3 mins tops...

who says I like the LOTR films?

how very original ;P

I'd go for I3lade203's idea, simple and very bugdetfriendly

ok saw it, hm, well i don't really know what to think..
you could easily have compressed it better, the canvas was to small and still you could see some huge pixels...
if you wouldn't have written the name of the film I wouldn't have been able to tell...

well, I saw it... um.. the lenght of the movie could be like a tenth of what it was, it was way to long, it's a nice idea but you need to shorten it....

hm, which day are you born?

you need to learn how to compress your movies.

downloading it now...

that's not the point, if the effects are easy or not, the point is that you should starts small and learn stuff on the way, but you obviously want effects more than a story, so go on ahead an do so.

Well, the trailer's good, for a twelve year old at least... but if you've just started filmmaking, why don't you skip the effects and learn how to film a scene, the camera angles, all the fundamental things for making films... I think it's rash to skip ahead to lightswords and such.. just a tip, you...

I still think it's a better idea to first look around and then ask..
But hey, if you think it's better with like ten threads about the same thing, good for you, I won't stop you

Why won't you you search the forum before you ask? I know there's a thread about it somewhere around here...

yeah I know, it looks a bit odd because I forgot to change the blending morde..

okay ;P, grumpf, left my brain in school XD

I'd like to have a look at it, plus I live in sweden , uhm, wait, maybe that's not too much of a benefit

PS. It's not me on screen
