Has anyone here made their own movies? Of course you have! If you said no, then you're LYING. Well here are some of mine.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 2705221648
Actually has almost 1000 hits, believe it or not. I'm the guy who plays all the other parts.

Basically, me and my cousin Dillon put some mentos in a bottle of Diet Coke.

...My cousin and I were REALLY bored. And YES, I like P.O.D.

This is the number of hits I've gotten:

Subway Bandit: 874
Diet coke and mentos: 2334
Clones in the Matrix: 441

I have more, but just go under more from this provider.

Now next time do it with the lit partially on. Or with a smaller hole in the lid. Or get a little pot which has a slide off lid. Fill it with vinegar/coke and bicarbonate of soda. Then put the lid on. Put it upside down and run like mad!

When I did this at school my maths teacher did some pythagorus and trigonometry thingeys which I am not that good at applying to real life and the best one went I believe 153 feet. not bad! Heavy winds affected it though.

Me and my friends have been trying to pull a script together for a movie, One of the scripts we want to do is a live action Decline of video gaming 1 movie.

Heheh, nice idea. OR put the lid COMPLETELY on, if you can do it that fast. Maybe if the coke bottle was half empty.... I'll have to try it.

Ah Decline, awesome idea. Does anyone have any movies to show off?

i've made 2 independent films, one of them was actually pretty good

. unfortunately somebody taped over the VHS tape and lost the camera with the mini tape so i don't have them anymore

The Dog Attack video is actually on stupidvideos.com. The quality is crap, though. Stupid Windows Movie Maker.

there is a slight problem, none of us have a way to throw the movies on out computers.

I was thinking of getting a DVD-RW drive for my Lappy, and sense i have a VCR->DVD-RW unit for my TV, i could put them on DVD then put them on my Computer for editing.

IF you want to put movies on your compy, buy this

It's actually an okay camera. I went to Disneyland and saw at least 5 other people who owned them.
You can get more than 7 minutes if you buy a 256 mb SD card. That's what I did.

You could superglue the lid on upside down. Just make sure you can run fast.

Me and my friends are making a full-length Star Wars parody film called 'Spuffin Wars'. I need a capture card though so we can edit it on the compy, but those are cheap these days. Of course, all of you guys get to download it when we are done.

Nick, next time you do a acid/alkali reaction experiment put the bicarbonate of soda in first. Your using too much of oth the vinega and the baking powder. There needs to be air to be forced out of the bottle and pressurised to blow the cap. Too much is worse than too little lol. Experiment a bit.

The device has bad reviews, i dunno.

Its quality really does seem 'trash'. Go for a more expensive camcorder. That on has a crap resolution and crappy compression if it fits 7 mins of video into 32MB.
