nevermind. i solved the problem :)

I'm in the progress of creating my first (professional) short film, and we would like to create a professional-looking DVD menu. The menu will contain an animated-background (which i have created) and 3 different menus (PLAY MOVIE, BEHIND THE SCENES, CAST & CREW). After long and hard google-searching, i came across many programs (DVD Menu Studio, Super DVD Creator, Adobe Encore, etc) and i just can't seem to figure out how to use any these programs... So my question is, what program(s) do you use? Which is best/easiest to use (and gives good results)? Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers, Danny Rasmussen - Copenhagen Technical School.

What about FXhome? I don't have the program yet.. but am planning on buying it after my next paycheck... I hear you can create a lot of amazing effects with this program.. can u make the electricity effect, that im looking for? If so, how simple/difficult would it be? We only have a few weeks left before this project is due.. can i learn it within that time?

Hmm.. actually a very good idea! Thanks! :)

Awesome suggestions :) Thanks a lot! I'll print them off, look em over with the crew and see what we can do. Thanks again!

I'm in the prograss of attending a film/tv school in Denmark and at the moment we're filming a short fiction film. One of the scenes involves a man trying to commit suicide, because a few months ago he just lost his wife to a robbing/shooting incident and not long after he lost his job, and his life basically just sucks. So, he tries to attempt suicide by filling his tub up with water, taking a (plugged-in) radio, and then throwing it in. The thing is, the split-second he lets go of the radio, all the power in the entire house goes out. So, nothing happens.. he's still alive... After a few seconds of realizing he's still alive, he gets out of the tub and walks over towards the mirror. Then, the power comes back on. What we want to do, is when the power comes back on, show a bunch of sparks/shocks comming from the radio, which is still turned on and in the tub .. how do we do that? We use both Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro.. can this effect be done in any of those programs? Looking forward to hearing back from u experts :)

Hello. My name is Danny Rasmussen and I just started in film & tv production about half a year ago. Our first major (serious) project since I started is a 7-12 minute fiction film. Everything is going perfect so far. In about 2 weeks, we'll be filming a fight scene, which involves a fine/wealthy couple (around 30 years of age) being jumped and robbed by 2 criminals in a dark ally (at night, of course). After taking their wallets, watches, jewellery, and cellphones, the criminals ask for their wedding rings. The man then says "You can't have them. You already have all our money now please leave us alone". The criminals then get angry and one of them punches the man in face, knocking him down to the ground. His wife gets furious and tries to attack one of the criminals (they've yet to show any weapons, so the couple arent really that afraid..). Anyway... in a desperate act to get the woman away one of the criminals takes out a gun and shoots her (she wasnt really meant to be shot, but the criminal was kind of in a panic). So, she gets shot (in the stomache) and the 2 criminals run off. Now, we are only college students. We get no money for making this project. But we all want to make it as realistic as possible and as great as possible. We have a lot of connections and are planning on sending this film to, for example, the shortfilms festival, and perhaps some of the larger TV networks here in Denmark. So... how we get this to work? We don't really want to use fake blood.. we want the whole thing to kind of go slowly, but also quickly.. if you get what i mean... Also, any tips on lighting? Looking forward to hearing from you experts. :)
