Does anyone have a link or know of a place where you can create inventive effects literally using your imagination? I have a pretty good mind when it comes to this, and have done some pretty good stuff before this being at such a young age (email if you want to see some footage).

I just wanted some links to just see what other people have come up with and see if I an incorporate any of it into my new film.

Thanks

Not sure this is exactly what your looking for but it might do the trick. The product is called AlamDV, more information can be found here http://fxhome.com/alamdv2/ Enjoy.

It looks nice, but I was talking more about like, actual effects you can do with blood or whatever. Just some neat fighting effects, as if a braveheart type film (Im 14, what could be more fun :)).

Thanks for the link!

See www.ilram.com for some brilliant stunt and efx work... Look for the stunt demo. I know you wont be able to use his stuff but this dude taught himself martial arts by playing video games.. He is a monster and a primo stunt guy I would put in the Jackie Chan catagory with a touch of Highlander...

I'm sorry I missed what you were looking for. In a feeble attempt to redeem myself I did some quick searching and came up with a few links below that will interest you (I hope).

I also suggest checking out a book on stage or theatrical combat/fighting. Most, if not all, of the techniques can be directly applied to film.

There are also many books and online resources for special effects makeup. Here is a chance to spend some quality time w/ mom (learning makeup) and get some real neat-o effects for little cash. One word of caution, I still carry two reminders from my first adventure into this arena. One from a bad squib burn, the other from a stray dog who thought my oatmeal scar was tasty.

Enjoy!

Another good source (when you think it's time for a break from the books) for inventive SFX is to listen to Robert Rodriguez's commentary on pretty much any of his DVD's. Lots of creative stuff in there. ?:D?
