The Ring/Ringu Homemade Curse Tape

[machiner6]

I tried to do the same thing, but it didn't turn out so great. You can look at it in the title "The Cursed video file".

xD Good Job! How do you make the face-in-mirror effect really?

[CapnKirkus]

@virtualx300 Cheers B) haha, the mirror thing was really rubbish. I just set up the camcorder behind me at a good angle and did some video of the mirror on both sides of the wall, then I just edited it together. You can see me standing to the left on the last one, haha

@CapnKirkus I have a rectangular mirror in my bedroom and did the same thing in a deleted scene video. When it switched, I used photoshop to include the background of my PC room.

@machiner6 That's an interesting way of doing it... I probably would've had a go at using digital editing before, but I was kinda new to it at the time

this is pretty good, well done. i am currently working on a cursed tape... hopefully, it will be alright.

Thanks, that's nice to hear considering it was such a lot budget thing :) I mean a plantpot for a well.. haha, it still makes me laugh thinking about it.

I like the look of the clip from your video.. how did you get the grainy effect so well?

[mjcldplyrw]

It is quite easy. I use video studio 11. there was already a video containing static when I first installed the program. I put the static video in the video timeline and the hooded figure image in the overlay timeline, then I ovarlay it so the static appears on the image. It's best to apply all the effects and lighting in first before you do this.

Though I am not really happy with the result, I am going for a more pin pointed look. i will be doing this by using photo shop pro 2.

cool man u gotta teach me how to do that

[CapnKirkus]

Cheers =)

It's pretty easy really... everything apart from the effects were done with a basic vhs-c camcorder. The rest was edited in Sony Vegas. Good fun to mess around with

[CroSSGuardXX]
