Special Effects Question
I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this question but I edit in PPro so I'll put it here:
Is there a way to purchase certain special effects? Are there effects packages you can buy? Or is it a simple process to make them? Specifically, I need blood to spurt from a wound, Kill Bill style and don't want to do it practically - we want a CG look. I also need an firey explosion. I have no idea where to look, though I've tried unsuccessfully. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, -- John. |

Go to videocopilot.net
They have a package called action movie essentials. It is what you are looking for. It works great! |

Also have a look at detonationfilms.com --- they have blood and explosions galore.

I shoot in HDV with a Z1 and a V1 - is it going to look ok when put on HDV footage? And are they easy to use? I'm hoping to just receive a group of keyed avi files that I can lay over the top of my footage. And is there a lot of variety? There's not just one or two different explosions are there? |

I have only used mini dv. I am not sure about HDV. You can e-mail them any questions you have and they ussally get back to you pretty quickly. You can check out all the footage they have on the website. They do have a lot of different parts to the package.
