When you watch<br /> clips of movies from "The Making Of" a movie, the picture is super<br /> sharp. The final movie has a type of softness like Film and is a much<br /> smoother picture and funner to watch.</p> <p>I tried different filters in AE like Boris Looks but all they do is<br /> give the picture some blur, contrast or sepia colors. I was wondering if<br /> someone can guide me to how they get that movie look in Hollywood?<br /> Thanks.</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-fog-a-pond#post-58767 Wed, 19 May 2010 16:31:01 +0000 speedyg41 58767@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> How would one go about putting a low mist over a section of a pond?  I have shot where someone walks backward into a pond and we will reverse it in post so it looks the guy walks out dry.

Additionally, I would like some of the foreground element (another person assisting in the padding up) to obscure the title.</p> <p>What do I need to do to achieve this effect?  I also have After Effects if that helps in achieving this vision....</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magic-bullet-plug-in#post-41328 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:46:56 +0000 RockstarRider 41328@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Is there somewhere where i can get the magic bullet plug-in for vegas pro 8 for free...????</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-obtain-a-darkgothic-look#post-40845 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 07:26:31 +0000 miky 40845@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>ok im not sure how to describe properly the look im after...</p> <p>basically the image looks greyish/blue kind of like a tim burton movie <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--EV6ox17g4&amp;feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--EV6ox17g4&amp;feature=related</a> .... and mostly if you look at photos of metal bands... the pictures looks almost like a painting more than a photo...</p> <p>if anyone has an idea of what i am talking about, can i achieve this through filters,settings on the camera, or is it only computer made?if so what is this effect called?</p> <p>thanks a lot...</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/questions-about-fluid-heads#post-37669 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 10:03:58 +0000 ralck 37669@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>So I'm looking into getting a new tripod and as everyone knows, fluid head is the way to go.</p> <p>The problem is, I don't know much about fluid heads, so I'm getting confused by some of the technical details.  The camera that will mainly be used is a Sony VX2000 with Beachtex XLR adapter (microphone will be on a boom, not connected to the camera), so nothing too heavy.  Do I go with a head that can support around 6-8 pounds, or is it better to go with something that can support 20 pounds to help keep pans and tilts smooth?</p> <p>What about fluid-head types?  I see some say 2-way fluid head, others say 3-way fluid head, etc.  Is there a significant difference in these?  What's the advantage of a 3-way over a 2-way?</p> <p>What about arms?  I see some tripods have a single arm, some have dual arms, some have angled arms while others have straight arms.  My guess would be this all comes down to preference, but are there any subtle advantages to one arm style over another?</p> <p>Also, tripod legs seem to be very important.  I see styles such as telescoping and "crutch" style.  It seems like people prefer the crutch style, but why?</p> <p>Throughout my research it seems like Bogen and Arri are the best of the best?  What makes them so much better than others?</p> <p>Here's the tough part- as with 90% of others out there, I'm on a fairly tight budget and would like to spend around $200 to $250 max.  I know that leaves me with only the entry-level fluid heads, but what would you guys recomend?  Are there any other features I need to look into that I don't know about?</p> <p>Someone recomended this kit in another thread.  I don't think I really need the dolly, but it might be useful (or it might be a piece of junk)?</p> <p><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/243272-REG/Davis_Sanford_PROVISTA7518_Pro_Vista_Tripod_with.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/243272-REG/Davis_Sanford_PROVISTA7518_Pro_Vista_Tripod_with.html</a></p> <p>Thanks for any help! :)</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ghost-ripple-effect-fcp#post-34730 Mon, 21 Jan 2008 07:38:02 +0000 Jonny_Phoenyx 34730@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hey there. I want to shoot a ghost short film. I planned on shooting two scenes with the camcorder in the same position, then overlapping them in FCP. However, I haven't actually tried this and want to know if it would work. (as in, a ghost walking through a normal person.) Also, I wanted to know how I could replicate the "ripple effect". You know, like if somone swipes there hand through an apperition, the ghost would sort of get distored and ripple around the spot of contact. The only axample I can think of off hand is that black guy in ABC's HEROES who can walk through walls. If you know what I'm talking about, that's what I'd like to replicate.</p> <p> Oh, if you have any pointers for for any other ghost-like effects, please post them too! thanks!</p>
