Why would he end up on the sidewalk?? The truck pushed him forward.

[Nickname1718]

2:40 with subs on

[mattroks101]

@Nickname1718 "Genocide of native Indonesians"? WTF?

[Minkais]

Pause at 0:18 you can see the mask ! 

[TomNewTV]

AWESOME! Thanks guys :D

Nearly finished my masterpiece. I was just wondering if in the keyframe process, you could gradually make the person shrink as he gets further away from the camera?

[thelittlesagg]

0:22 Is that EDIUS' status mark?

[catcatttt]

thats not FX

[MasterJurgen]

Straight to the point, and humor that doesnt drag itself into the annoyance relm. That's why I prefer your videos over filmriot.

[GrandmasterofWin]

i watched a tutorial by a 13 yr old kid that looked more legit than this...

[bluefurr]

sweet i need to do this thanks but does it only work in a Mac computer it looked like that software?

[videomaker]

As long as you have decent editing software, it doesn't matter which platform you're working on. Cheers.

[bluefurr]

SWEET!

Thanks your videos are very helpful ;)

I'm recommending your videos to everyone I know ;) Keep doing great work.

[MomentariIy]

wrong physics

[PATRICK709]

please could you do some videos on how to do special fx and stuff but with windows movie maker

please answer

[videomaker]

We do not produce content about Windows Movie Maker. In our view, it is too low-end and limited in its features. Starting around $100 you can choose from several excellent programs out there that are perfect for videographers just starting out. A link to our most recent Software Buyer's Guide has been posted in the description for this clip (top right). We strongly suggest you consider upgrading to a more powerful program, you won't regret it! Good luck!

[PATRICK709]

ok thanks anyway and i have subscribed and also my birthday is coming up so i will buy some of your software tnks

[bouchandre]

like sony vegas movie studio?

[TheMovieMaker2]

@bouchandre Pro would be better

[bouchandre]

yep but expensive

[bouchandre]

also now I have after effects cs4 so...

[TheMovieMaker2]

@bouchandre Well after effects is good for special effects but not really standard editing as its quite a demanding program so sony vegas makes a good standard editing one. Or premier if you want

[bouchandre]

well I have premiere pro cs4 and after effects cs4

[bandit8414]

great vid but the only editing software i got is imovie hd (no photoshop) so........how would i do this?....plz help

[richishard]

mask the person and use puppet tool search indy mogul they have tutorials for things with imovie

[Christian13666]

What editing program do you use???

[q1882]

I am using sony vegas 7, and when i drag the picture off the screen( to mimic person getting hit) it goes further then the video. Like it is dragged into some of the black parts after the video footage border ends. In the Vegas video preview box this is not a problem. Wondering if you could help.

[solomonlll]

you wer lost in 0:18

[WORLDBESTHOPE]

videocopilot does it better

[MusicDudeRock]

agreed. but this is so much easier

[sweetasabunny94]

sweet....I jumped when you got hit....I thought it was real at fist... :P LOLZ!

[alimagics]

hey u didnt tell

wich software r u usin ?

[buckhysen]

I have to laugh at some of these ridiculous comments, these are some fab tips for amateur film makers and at the very least gives some great ideas.

Yet looking at some of these comments it seems people expect Steven Spielberg type special effects.

What makes me laugh is that most of the comments are from idiots who have never even uploaded a video of their own.

Nice work guys, keep up the excellent videos. Ignore the users who only seem intent on logging in & slagging off other users videos.

[wilhelm1407]

It looks cool! However I would use a different reaction because it looks a little fake. For example at 2:23 you bend over before the truck even hits you, so as a result it looks a little off. But other than that it looks good! ^^

[hardcoreffect]

fail...

[nighthawk26ca]

what programs u use

[rhysie21]

The theoretical side of VideoMaker is pretty darn good, the practical... not so much.

[hawuch]

hahaha nice one but i'll never use this xD

[amperial2008]

Nice job!

[YourOwnMovies]

You made me jump when you got hit by the truck. :P

[fkd247]

Loved it!

[matttchapman]

Great tutorial. Five stars!

[Perthman88]

I like it as the first step for beginner.

[olesto]

fake

[CyberCrusoe]

Olesto: Duh, ya think? And I'll bet you didn't even need the title of the video as a hint...

[SNUGandSESOR]

hahaha. lmao. what an idiot

[dorka00]

xD lolz

[patwix]

lol... you're hilarious man

[Wideshut80]

Great. 5 stars.

[Hollstroms]

That actually looked good. i guess i didn't know you could do it like that. I did another way but this looks easier and i can actually do it with my editing software.

[sonicballer8888]

what the heck?!?! You dont need to use photoshop for anything here. the could just use a still frame and masking, which can all be done in premiere!!!!!!!!!

[Erfa90]

True, but Photoshops tools are much better for doing that.

[sonicballer8888]

well for this it would make no difference, it's only masking. it would be alot faster to just use it in premiere.

[Erfa90]

Yes, it would make a difference, since Photoshop is better at masking. However, the subject is only visible for a few frames, so if you just do some blur on it, Premiere would be fine.

I would definitely use Premiere for something as simple as this, but that doesn't mean that Photoshop still would do a slightly better job.

[CyberCrusoe]

Erfa90: if you shoot this in HD you have a lot less room for "fudging". And even in SD, blurring doesn't fool anyone and your FX ends up looking cheap.

Since the footage of the actor "flying off" is only a few frames, I'd take the time to film him in motion (like flaying his arms) and masking each frame in Photoshop.

[Erfa90]

True, that's what I would do too, if I had the time. It's just that I usually don't.

[FilmBob100]

cool

[CyberCrusoe]

Another great tip using compressed perspective. Another way to do the first take, and perhaps yield more realistic results, would be using a stunt dummy hit by the truck in the second footage - of course, you want the cooperation of the driver :-) The dummy will bounce off more realistically and flay like a real person. Just cut from the perosn footage to the dummy footage, and no one will notice.

[tr0ubleboi]

haha awesome effect

[mavericks417]

sweeet
