good day, but bearing in mind we had a very tight schedule was great fun though with my home made machine gun rofl

[ctbullet]

schedule you moron, rofl

[a.qotsa.fan]

rofl

Quite good. The muzzle flash on the machine gun was not good, I'm afraid, otherwise, very good. interesting idea.

[ctbullet]

cheers man

i think you right about the muzzle flash on the machine gun, it was simple a pizelated jpeg that i had to import, i was editing at college and had nothing else, so it was either that or nothing

thanks for the input

[angusware]

It was good. I have to agree about the muzzle flash, but not with his use of commas.

Interesting. The sound editing could use a lot more work. Try to fade between audio segments so that the cuts are not so harsh and abrupt.

sound was a huge huge problem for us, i tried to be clever by creating an extrenal mic, simply a recording mic taped to a broom handle, the idea was great and it would have worked, had the guy i gave the job to turned it on

half way through filming we realised we had no audio for the first scenes, shite, anyway we pressed on because we were on a very tight schedule

we tried to sort the problem by doing some ADR sound in my garage, you get the idea but its not the best quality, i then tried to merge it a bit with wind noise which seems to be ok

as for the sound effects on the battle i'm rather proud of thanks

[puje]

Pretty good! But what did the teen do wrong? Is painting on a sign really abusing your country? :scratchchin:

[Epsilon]

I guess spraying graffiti on a sign represents a hopeless generation of spoiled, careless children.

[ctbullet]

don't you think graffiti is disrespectful, i certainly do, and yes epsilon is right, i am portraying a thugish hopeless youth, i think it portrayed really well also

[ctbullet]

i will post the video when its processed

it's good. The sound (vocals) could have been recorded a bit better... I could easily tell you recored the voice separately, and heard the cuts between scene's.

Apart from that and the muzzle flash it's good.

If you're interested I have lots of video files of live muzzle flashes recorded on a white or black background, which you can edit out using alpha key, and transform the muzzle flash to the gun.

Nice story.
