Matrix Mods

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum here and i need a bit of advice. I'm currently working on a Movies adaption of The Matrix. I've already made 10 minutes which took freaking forever i must say. I Added small little visuals to it like optics and muzzle flashes and stuff like that.

I stopped for about a year because i couldn't find decent programs to do the editing and syncing but luckily i came across a program that works a bit better.

Anyway, so i have started the next batch but I'm thinking in advanced here.

I'm thinking about the scene where Neo Dodges bullets...that slow fall that he does. I know roughly how to get the camera to rotate around him in bullet time mode but i want to see the bullet going towards him and adjusting proportions accordingly as the camera moves.

I hope you guys know what I'm trying to say

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

p.s. i also have my own blog www.vitosal.wordpress.com if you guys want reply there

Which program do you use exactly?

I don't think that this will be easily made with TheMovies. Perhaps you can use the scene where someone is falling down a building.
1. With the right camera angles and 2. if you slow down the scene and 3. if you can add flying bullets with an editing program... finally it should look like Neo dodges bullets.

Thanks for reply..

That's exactly what i thought. Using the fall down building would be perfect for that scene.

By the way I'm using Pinaccle Studio now for editing and stuff. I did use Windows Media Maker which was awesome for beginners but as i wanted more advanced things the less i started to use it.

Ummm...my problem is though I'm not sure what program to use to add the bullets to the scene and how to adjust them.

Also I've got the first 10min done but i only have one problem, is that my audio at some points is so freaking loud and then soft again, freaking weird. I'm trying to re do the audio again.

Am i allowed to upload the matrix here, without legal implications considering i've got the audio straight from the movie lol

thanks in advance

anybody still going to check here?

Do you know Adobe After Effects? Very expensive but you can add flying bullets.

Alternatives you can try (I didn't try them):
Sony Vegas
CompositeLab-Pro
cinefx

You can try to upload your movie on youtube or an other video platform. Then you can embed your movie here.

hey shot dude,

I think i got Adobe After Effects, thanks for the replies guys. I will check tonight and let you guys know.

Thanks again

oh awesome. Shot for the replies guys. I think i have adobe after effects at home. will check tonight and let you guys know.

You wouldn't believe what happened last night though. While i was working on the movie my pc crashed and i lost everything i was working on of the last two weeks.

Going to try a recovery tonight to see if i can get it back:(

will let you guys know

hey again guys,

I'm currently stuck on the scene where Neo is interrogated and his mouth turns to liquid and then all of a sudden his mouth is gone. Does anybody know what program i might be able to use to pull this off. I've tried with Adobe After Effects but i do kind of suck at the moment with it.

If anybody has got an idea please please please let me know.

Thanks again if anybody reads this

You can do this with adobe after effects too.
Perhaps this tutorial will help a little bit:

Make a new layer and put it over the mouth.
