bunycrusher, i am sry to say at first i thot ur helmet was a joke too., i saw that clone trooper one, but... the MC didn't look AT ALL like it was gonna turn out. it sure did tho lol nice job.
I too make a lot of movies. mostly amateur stuff w/ my friends but I'm really into the special effects side of this deal and let me tell you, the green/blue screen idea is really the best way to go, just make sure you have a pretty good keyer. Secondly, the #1 all around perfect catch-all special effects item is the "Estes" rocket engine. If ya dont kno 'em, they sell model rockets and supplies. learn how to use them, then safely improperley use them. they make, fire, smoke, flash, flames... the whole deal. ull learn how to use them. i like to shoot them against green screen from up close on the side and you can get a great effect for gun fire. plant them in the ground with stuff on top (BUT NOT ROCKS! U DONT WANT IT RAINING ROCKS!) and u can make AWESOME explosions. the engines even come with a remote detonater. and remember, whenevr ur working with these, 1 out of 300 turns into a fireball, and always have cover, because if uve done something wrong, they like to fly into the air and zip around and explode when they hit a tree. but that ONLY happens if you were an IDIOT wen u but them in. hopefully this post doesn't look too long to read
seriously bunny crusher, theres important stuff in there ^
