heres my latest if you haven't seen it...just putting it on here to get the bal rolling this is my first solo creation...it was a project for getting my film steady. just started working with this new software and my abandoned house film footage sucked cause it was all moved and unsteady. so i thought i would never ever lose footage again because i can't keep my hands steady so i went to this cemetary and shot and tried(operative word: tried) to keep my nikon 5400 steady. this is what came out: http://wwwfiles.myxio.com/.xio_05506QaL8fBIr71Yo6qN6yiVikc1zrXiFn/shared/cementary5_100k.mpg little experiment we did with final cut pro for using many different windows...in other words a collage of videos..and what better than the brady bunch? lol the guys i work with are gay and super funny so if you have no sense of humor don't bother: http://wwwfiles.myxio.com/.xio_05506QaL8fBIr71Yo6qN6yiVikc1zrXiFn/shared/brady_300k.mov p.s. i made them get into girls outfits... hahahaha! edit for major mispellings

The cemetary one was nicely executed. I've sat through several film classes, both at an art school, and a tech school, plus many film festivals, and I'll have to say that I enjoyed watching your cemetary one more than many of those. I'd recommend a tripod, it'll help a lot with the shaky stuff. You seem to have a natural eye for moving images and composing scenes. Are you in school for film/video? Good work! Asylunt

wow thanks thats a pretty good compliemnt coming from someone who has seen so many films! no I have always just basically done it on my own. I did go to school for photography but basically all i learned there was how to develop film and use a dark room(which i loooove and hope to have my own when i get my own place) other wise it has just been me messing around with a camera. i think (and i think alot of people would agree) that after digital came out, and you could see a picture right after you shot it and recompose, alot of us got MUCH MUCH better at photography. It was so hard before to understand exactly if the shot you took was ok or not..and alot of time, if you didn't carry a notebook around logging every picture and the exposure, you had no clue if you had shot it with a 5.6f stop or a 22, so you could redo it the next time. not to praise digital so much but i think it has helped my eye alot and my expression alot more. edit---yeah that song is better than the old one!! ![](emote/4.gif)

Hmm... Windows media player works for most people. Do you have the latest DivX codec? If not, you can go to http://www.divx.com/divx/download/ and get it.

Yeah, it's quite a pain to do. The whole process could best be described as: "fingers in motion". It's usually less than one picture per frame (assuming a framerate of 30 fps), but it really depends on a lot of things. I have to change the length of each picture individually (I haven't found a better way to do it... I'm still looking, though) in Premiere, which entails some funky rhythms of key strokes ala alt, enter, 2, enter, down, repeat 1500 times (not the exact keys, but something like that). After a few hundred, I start whistling to the tapping keys. Then, if I feel like I have an abundance of time on my hands, I fine-tune anything that doesn't look right. Oh, and I'm glad you liked them.

It's not so much hard as it is repetitive (hence the shortness of what I've done so far). You should give it a try. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to try answer them. Not that I'm the all-powerful stop-motion guru, or anything, but the process has become pretty easy with the advent of digitalia (woo! I made up a new word!) So, yeah, if you have a couple of hours to kill one Friday night, give it a shot.

Well I've posted this in the Other forum as well as the art forum but if you didn't catch it there, here it is : P One day my friends and I found ourselves to be bored, rumoured to be taking drugs, and equipped with my digital camera and a laptop. My cam's a HP Photosmart320. Piece of shit, dirt cheap, records 30 second videos with no audio in low resolution. I had been curious as to how I could pull off a movie using only that and my Powerbook G4 without it being total crap. Well, I dunno that it's not total crap, but the finished product is mildly entertaining. We went into it not even knowing we were going to be making a film. it just kinda...happened. We recorded the first shot based on a totally random thread of conversation, and then came to a bridge, and all I could think was "Bridge fight". So we decided to pull out all the stops and load this thing with planned continuity errors, stupid jokes, bad dubbing, cheesy FX, and a plot-line thinner than Ally McBeal. Right now I'm working on a prequel, with a real script, a real camera, and a real chance of being entertaining. Till then, here's The Deadening Time II: Dead O'Clock: http://www.faithlessfilms.com/45/theatre.html Scroll down to Screen C. I'm told it won't play for some people, but it should as long as you have the newest version of Quicktime installed.

I downloaded the new quicktime and it still didn't work because RealPlayer has taken over trying to play all of my .mpg files. So I had to futz around with it a little bit until I found out that it's actually a .mp4 file. So I downloaded it (rather than watching it in the browser window, since there seemed to be no way to break out of that) and opened it with Quicktime and it worked just fine. (The movie was still weird, but at least it downloaded fine. ) -- Mat

Mat, You probably have tried this, but in case you haven't , I circumvented any probs by just doing a "Save target As". Opening the page doesn't work for me either.

Yeah it's all good, I got the file. I couldn't download it directly from the page because RealPlayer put some kind of funky console up, but I viewed the source and found the file name that way, then downloaded it with WackGet. Thanks, though! -- Mat

There's a trailer for my unfinished super 8 epic White Noise. It's better if your right click and 'save as'. It's on Geocities, so it will be only intermittently available.
