Movie Making

Informative 

I posted this 6 months ago to the day, time to bring it back.

I'm currently editing my 73rd movie production, which is the 78th movie I have been in, so I do know a little something about making movies on SL.

Now I could probably write chapters on "How to make movies on SL" Just like I did in  "How to be a SL Porn Star" If people really think I need to write chapters I may consider it. But I feel that movies are an art left up to the individual and their taste with really no right or wrong way of making them.

But some things have happened and I'm compelled to say something and do a little teaching so here goes. One of my main statements in "How to be a SL Porn Star" is Make your own porn  Problem is there are people making movies that have no idea what they are doing and I feel somewhat responsible because the two that stand out in my mind I personally told to make their own porn. 

Now when I decided to make my first movie I did something called "research" and this is one page I read more than once: Machinima . The thing that erks me the most is that the 2 that I am really writing this about obviously did no research. You would think if they had the drive to make movies they would also have the drive to learn something before doing it, but I guess not.

So for me the first question was: How do I film off my screen? Well obviously they figured that out or I couldn't of seen there movies so I'm not talking about that.

The second questions was: How do I get all this stuff of my screen so I just show the movie and not my huds, chat windows and all the other buttons. I mean to me this was really important, because all the "good" movies I had seen didn't have that stuff on the screen. But the 2 I have in mind apparently didn't think that important.

It's called UI (user interface) and it's very simple to toggle on and off with these hotkeys CTRL+ALT+F1. To remove your HUDs hotkeys SHIFT+ALT+H.

 Now I'm sure these 2 geniuses don't read this blog, but I'm sure many of you have stumbled on their movies and thought like I did "Worst movie ever". So if you every decide you want to make your own movies, now you know how to at least clear the screen, and why the director can't see chat while filming.
