I found a site from wich you can download full 360 pictures of some of the matrix sets for later use in your movies via compositting (green-blue screen) The pics are very clear and there is a forum devoted to finding and requesting backgrounds to the pros. http://fxhome.com/forums/ forum http://fxho...

Maybee you can use the foam stuff that comes in a can and later expands. The foam will expand and fill the bags as the flour did. Don't fill the bags full, just experiment a bit. Maybee filling it half full will let the foam enough space to expand and fill the bag completely but without making it ex...

DOubt you will find it at a paintball retailer, probably not enough people interested in empty shells to have them sitting around on the shelf. The downside is you may need to purchase them in bulk, like maybe 100 or more... probably wouldn't be worth it to the distributor to send you like 100 shel...

My apologies!!!!!! Sory for the mistaken info :oops: :oops: I knew it was something about a cow. It's CREATIVE COW , not brown cow!! Sory!!!

The effect I wish to recreate is the DTS surround type. I would like something like hearing the "talking" in the 3 front speakers and hearing ambient music and other sound fx in the 2 rear speakers

Sorry if this has been asked before , I'm in a extreme hurry!!! sorry! Is there a program to create Surround sound for my low budget movies?? I would love to see/hear my movies in my 5 speaker home teather system. Surround Fx may help scare people (mainly hearing voices :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:...

There is a tutorial by Brown Cow Studios about how to morph a man to a sheep, ussing After Effects and it's reshape filter. Looks pretty cool, they have a short clip along with the tutorial.

It can also be done using liquid latex. There is a very cheap and flexible one at my local sex shops. 16 oz. @ $8.00 I'll get the name later. Just apply a small stripe to the face, let it dry and then drain the blood under the dry latex patch.

Use base make-up to camouflage the patch.

Do you guys know a simple and CHEAP way of getting sinchroniced DVD video displayed in different monitors at the same time?? (let's say 6-10) It's for an exhibit, I tought about buying "splitter addapters" but the effect I want may require more than one DVD unit if I use this metod. I've s...

in the movie "The Craft" they had a little bit higher end budget and could afford a little bit higher equipment, not to mention the little bit more professional editors. The principle stays the same,,, CHROMANATOR will work well.. Pss: Keep it simple. A tube would work fine. You can buy t...

USE GREEN SCREENING!!!!!!!! for God's sake!! Simple thing thend to be so damn complicated. Paint the guy's face with green makeup and have a small "injection" do the drop. Also paint it green. Just have the "injection's" tip above the cut, produce the drop of blood and then let i...

Hollywood isn't supposed to make complete physical sense!

Haven't you read my first post????????????? :cry: I need about 100. Any help???????????.... (I'm not gona' shoot them att anyone, just to walls, trees, etc.) If you e...

I will be taking the bomb out to do the scenes where the actress runs with it. I'll probably just find another large box about the same size and put that in with a small weight.

Epsilon misunderstood, that's what I meant!!!
