Smoking cigarettes on film
Published (2008-11-26 19:52:00)
Interesting! Someone told me to buy herbal cigarettes, but some people say that those can't be used on movie sets, since many locations consider that as part of the smoking ban as well. Can you recommend me a place to buy them? www.myspace.com/blacklightfreakout : Justin Theroux is so underrated.

what's the name of the movie making technique during the 80's where it has to show a machine alive? 2 examples i can think of: 1. terminator - at the end the terminator shows his skeleton form walking the kill kyle and conner. 2. robocop - ed-209 moving When you watch it, it's fake but looks so real. Could it be similar to a claymation technique but without the clay and instead using action figures/small models/dolls/etc.? OR...

The worst special effects I've ever saw would have to be from The Regenerated Man (1994). I didn't see the movie, but saw a video of it on YouTube.

Many costume houses sell "stage cigarettes" or "puff cigarettes" that are filled with powder - you blow into them instead of inhaling, and the powder will create a smoke-like cloud.

I am creating a demo reel for my actor's resume. Unfortunately, my acting coach is taping it at his actor's studio where we can not smoke cigarettes...trying to keep the air clean. The character doesn't smoke. Well, it is not written in the script, but based on the dialogue and what is happening it would be more interesting if my character would do so. We can forget post-production special ...

When miniatures are used well, they are almost undetectable. The Republic studio was blessed with two of the best model-builders in Hollywood: Howard and Theodore Lydecker. The brothers built their miniatures relatively large (1/12 scale) and filmed them outdoors. Many climaxes for Republic serials depended on the spectacular destruction of a Lydecker miniature. Some of their best work is in ...

I'll start with the best man-into-werewolf transformations that I've ever seen, in "The Howling" and "An American Werewolf in London". What are other peoples' favorites? "I don't believe a school bus on Sunday".

I was watching the T3 dvd a few days ago, right after Terminator 2. I realized that every second shot in T3 had some kind of effect done to it. Whether it was background replacement, digital stunt doubles, CGI terminators, or whatever. It got me to thinking how much better the effects in Terminator 2 were, simply because each effect that was done, was done for a specific purpose, and ...
