I don't doubt After Effects could do it... my point is that I dont want to have to pay for the program for one effect. If I can import frames into Pshop and to it by hand, i would prefer that. I know its alot more work, but it's free!

Yes, very good point. There was really only the eye-popping effect i had in mind, but it would probably be at least a full second, if not two. That's lots of frames, which i wouldn't really mind, unless there was a better/easier way to do it that looked good (and didnt cost me and extra $300)...

Well, I havent shot it yet. I'm still working on the script, so I'm checking to see what effects will be possible or not. I have been using photoshop for years and do most of my artwork on it, hence my desire to use it to create subtle effects in my film, as opposed to using SFX programs which...

Hi, I haven't yet purchased any editing software, but am planning on getting Adobe Premiere. I am shooting a comedy short, and in one scene, I want a character's eyes to "bug out" in shock. Obviously, thats not something I can do when we shoot it, so I was wondering if I will be able to import...

Hey, that film was cool!! Very nice work, Zensteve! BTW, what is different about the 814 AZ vs. 814 XL-S? Zensteve, did you dubbed those voices in the version that's up now? If so, did you redub because of performace, or because the sound was off-sync from the film? Have you had any sound-sync...

But, am I correct in assumming that, since the manufacturer (back in 79') seems to be touting the CPU as a revolutionary thing, that the motor works better than other cameras at keeping proper speed? I guess my main dilemma is cost. A good Canon will be around $200 to $400, whereas the Beaulieu...

Hi everyone, I am planning on shooting a comedy short in the near future. There will be scenes with dialouge which will be recorded onto a separate device (most likely a mini DV camera). Many have suggested that, in order to have the sound match up correctly and consistantly with the film, I...

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks :)

How loud are s8mm cameras? I plan on recording onto a separate audio device, obviously, but everything will be in the same room. Are certain camera models known for being quieter or louder? Any techniques on how to dampen the camera's sound (wrap it in a pillow, perhaps?)

heh, yeah, but this film is supposed to be funny. I remember seeing a bad attempt at the effect in a movie... I think it was the Amityville Horror part 3. The actors held (cigarette?) smoke in their mouths and let it out as they talked. Looked really bad. I don't have much of a budget, so...

Hi there, I want to shoot a scene in a room that is supposed to be freezing, like meatlocker cold. I want to get the visible breath-exhaust look when the actors speak. But, filming here in Los Angeles, that makes such a situation difficult. The room is about 12x12. Is there something I can rent...

Super 8mm.

Any particular camera models I should be looking for?

Hey everyone, yet more questions. I understand the principles of the crystal-sync motor, but just how bad will the end result be without it? I am going to shoot some short (30 sec) interview type clips, and I was planning on just recording the dialouge on a separate DV camera and sync it all...

Zensteve has faster typing skills than me. :lol:

Hi John, you need to order from Kodak by phone. Call 1-800-404-2016 to order Ekatchrome. I agree that Kodak's website is incredibly frustrating to navigate through. Their phone salespeople aren't particularly cheerful either. :grumpy: Robert

Heh, good thing I thought to ask! :lol:

So, I have gotten my hands on some Kodachrome 40, but will not be using it for a month or two. I know I should put them in the freezer, but I just wanted to check and see if there is anything special I should do when storing them (keep them in a ziplock? etc) Thanks :) -Robert

Yeah, i hear what you are saying. My experience with developing film is limited. I was just curious of people did it. Thanks for the input :) Robert

Go to Kodak.com. There is a sales number you can call and order. They no longer have any Kodachrome 40 in stock, but they sell Ekatachrome for $13 per cartridge.
