Hi all, Im trying to find a UK web site that sells the small explosive charges for setting off blood packs and the safety equipment needed to do this.
Any help would be much appreciated.

These are called "squibs" and can be extremely dangerous in the hands of novices. The best idea is to work with a professional in this area.

Locate them using production manuals like Kenps, Kays or The Knowledge. Off the top of my head, Kemps is online at http://www.kftv.com

adobe premiere has a option for bluescreening. just film behiund a bluescreen and in the poromgram, replace the bluescreen track with your picture and the transparency options.

I know 6.0 works on Win98, not sure about 6.5 as I never upgraded Premiere beyond 6.0.

Not to hijack your thread, but where/what menu do you go to for doing the bluescreen stuff in Premier. Thanks.

In response to your questions:

Premier is expensive, I believe 6.5 is the last one that worked with 98 and Premier pro 1.0 and 1.5 require XP (maybe XP Pro). Hope that nelps.

Bluescreen in Premiere... it's in the transparency settings...

Right-Click on the clip on the timeline
Video Options... Transparency... Chroma

Premiere is around $800 but you can find it for $200 if you buy a firewire bundle package such as Pyro PlatinumDV
