Thanks knightly! I think that's it!

I've seen countless tutorials on how to achieve a 'hit by car' effect. And this one seems really good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/x_yVC9vF5U0&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen"...

hey guys, i was wondering how u can screen out (if that's what its called) white backgrounds. i got some cool footage from detonation films that im planning to use, but they come with white backgrounds. simply keying out the color didn't work as well as i thought it wouldve. any thoughts? thanks.

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that finds this topic interesting. But I would like to ask all you screenwriters for your secret recipe... how do you generate powerful, strong lines that are likely to swim around the viewer's mind constantly even when they finish watching your film? Jeremy

Yes it is a low-budget project. And really there's nothing much we need that requires a huge amount of money :P. I'm going to go past the time a little, and since not too much people join the competition, it should be fine. After I finish I'll look at it again to cut out unnecessary stuff...etc...

Hi guys, I've started a few pages of a new script. The maximum time for the film competition I'm entering is 20 minutes... and I don't think I can keep it under that. But here is the story: A few months ago, a student, Eileen, disappeared after viewing a confidential document of a teacher. It...
