MattHawkins Online - Film Making Forum

I read your whole article and i can say i agree with some, disagree with some. ill say some of the things i agree with and some of the things i dont so you know that im not toally against you on this. let me start with the stuff i agreed with: One, the production values of our small amatuer films ar...

thanks Kentertainment, that site is really awesome. i am going to update the site soon with the posters with new(and BETTER) font.

btw, anyone else have any comment on them?

hey everybody. i know some of you watched my teaser trailer for The Irish Piano, my new film. Production is almost finished and i decided to make some posters for it. the link below will take you to my site, and the posters. http://troubledcobrastudios.tripod.com/id2.html i would appreciate to know ...

i liked it. it looks rather funny. im guessing it's like a buddy cop film or something. im interested. lets see more.

i would say that the only really hard part about dubbing over dialogue is getting the timing right. just make sure that the stuff you dub over matches the timing on the screen. besides that, like i said before, it really isnt that hard to do if you have a mic for your computer.

it really isnt that hard. if you have a mic on/for your computer you can do it that way. are you talking about dubbing over dialouge that is in a scene or a voice over like someone is narrarating the film?

wow...and you're only 14??? WTF???? uhh...tips....tell us how you got this job....

Everyone knows the big, famous film scores like Star Wars or Indiana Jones. But what do you think are some of the most underrated film scores/soundtracks? My Picks: •Road To Perdition Score - Thomas Newman; its really a haunting and beautiful score that stuck in my head the moment i heard it. ...

ive just decided to leave it 4:3 since it does look horribly bad. and im using a Ssamsung...something...i dont remember...ive had it for a few years now...haha, reminds me that i have to get a new one soon...

uhh...you should probably tell us what exactly the job is that you have to do. that way we can help you more.

oh, and by the way, its "editors" heh, just letting you know. i myself happen to be a horrible speller.

im in a bit of a moral dilemma you might say. My camera does not shoot in widescreen yet i want to put my latest movie into widescreen. Ive come to the conclusion that no matter how i do it, it is going to have a "squished" image. So my dilemma, put it in widescreen with squished picture, ...

it kind of reminds me of the film "Four Brothers"

maybe you could have the cop shoot on of the robbers, then the cop who just shot the robber, get shot by the OTHER robber. the other robber gets away, and the cop who wasnt shot goes after him....

but i guess that is also a bit cliched.

well...ive never shot a movie with more than 1 camera and it really never seemed that hard.

it really all comes down to editing...

the song at the end is "Misirlou" By Dick Dale and the Dell-Tones. its the song that everyone remembers from Pulp Fiction.

im confused as to whether master/wizard/magician are actually what they say they are or whether those are just code names or something...

because if you want it to be realistic..........i really have no idea....realistic, but with magic.....yeah.....

anyone else? somebody had to have watched it....

yeah, that is almost the same as american history x. i dont know if you tried to do that or if it was just a coincidence....because that would be a huge coincidence...just saying...

Maybe Patrick is HER father. Maybe not. I like it, its a real nice intro. Leaves the audience hanging, without anyone actually getting shot or punched out. Makes a nice change. Looking forward to the rest of it. maybe he should have someone getting shot AND punched out to make up for lack of any of...

i really like the look of it, very atmospheric.

lemme guess...it's a comedy....

hmm.......being charged with disorderly conduct seems way too extreme. i mean...they were in a park, away from people, not disturbing anybody. but...i dont know. either the filmmakers need to be a tad bit smarter or the cops need to chill out.

dude...you have to keep making more of these...they get better every time....

1, 2, and 3 are good, but 4 seems a bit unnecessary because if someone is posting their film on here, usually they want the other people to give them pros and cons. i find it is better to review a movie when you know nothing about what is good/bad in it before hand, letting someone make up their own...

heh...im getting an overall feeling of negativity about this...which is good! helps me grow...a little criticism never hurt anyone...at least...i hope not...

I used blood stock from detonation films, smoke stock and bullet shell stock. For the recoil of the pistol, i did that in photoshop over the space of 3 frames. by the recoil...do you mean the slide blowback? im curious how you did that, because you cant really tell that it was done any other way th...
