they say jump, you say how high...

Hopefully it's clear enough.

Yes, that's the only camera that I have. It was bought by my parents in the early nineties so they could shoot our travels. I kinda "inherited" it during the time, when they haven't done much travel.

RE: diagram,
NIIIICCCCEEEEEE!!! very clever.
i think thats another 5 points to whoever vcame up with it [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

i've had much success using mellons in my rigs, all-be-it that was for body shots, naturally i'll have to suggest it here, err... assuming youve got 50hours and enough artistic tallent to make one look like a head.

general tip, if you carve a hole in a water mellon, fill it with fake blood, wrap cling-film over it to keep the blood in, put a shirt on the watermellon and then stab it, you get a realistic and insainly gory scene.

Hey there.

"my post was a question, and not a point, that should have been obvious by the use of a question mark"

WTF?

"p.s. 5 points to whoever can figure out the why i used that subject title?"

These were the point I told you to shove up your *ss.

Oh dear......

Despin out.

Z, what would Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg say to your sketches?

'bout 2 hours, I started as soon as I got from work (note: I always sketch these with a H-pencil before actually inking, that's why it took so long).

F'kin' genius.

I find the exposure method quite effective, in the projects I've used them in, if you ignore the gurning tw@tiness of my brother.


That's the body hit. You can see a bit of the tubing sticking out of that cupboard. Whoops.



That's the head it...


...using this method.

The headhits are only tests, but you can make 'em look better by planning it out.

panda riot squad - i am making a film where somebody gets shot... but my film is about love not scaring people, loving someone so much that you have to kill them because you never want to hear them to say "i dont love you" - does that mean i am sacrificing substance for violence? it is through things like onscreen violence that the boundaries of film making have been pushed - a clockwork orange springs to mind - resovior dogs etc

i have to agree with despin here:-

"we're not pro enough to make splatter films, they just look lame"

Speak for your self.

My gore f*ckin rules.

just because were not pro does not stop us from trying

[Esparto]

remember that scene in The Godfather where a bloke is getting a maggage, then a hood walks in, points a gun at the bloke, swich to pov of hood, the bloke puts his glasses on, looks at the hood and gets shot through the glasses.

you could have a tube hidden behind the glasses frame, and squirt blood (fake or real, either way [img]biggrin.gif[/img] )through it.

or you could just hide a tube in the actors hair.

quick warning, i have not tried either of these yet [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

[Spoon boy]

Anybody do latex mould making and the like here?

Getting shot in the head is disturbing if it's done well which is better then being scary. It stays in your head longer. Pun not intended.
