Indiana Jones
That about describes it!
I’ll try the kerosene idea when I get around to shooting this – that should do the trick.

Good tips!
Unfortunately we only have an XDCAM. This is being done on the side – not as part of a specific project. So in other words budget = 0. Another friend has a Canon 7D though, maybe this will react better in the low light?
Also, on the substance – one shot I am really hoping to get would be something adequate to put into a large torch. Something like the statue of liberty flame (the torch is about the size of the olympic torch). I don’t think lighter fluid or charcoal would make that kind of flame – but maybe I’m wrong.

Thanks Todd,
Mineral salts – good idea. I remember this from high school, you can get some really cool stuff!
Thanks for the tip on Detonation Films, I just checked the site out and they look like they have some cool stuff. If I can find what I need I may not have to shoot at all!
As for the walls, I think I’ll just paint a large board black and put that far enough from the flames so that it doesn’t light. I originally though blue because it looks like Andrew Kramer did this for his Action Essentials 2 pack – I was wondering if maybe there is a whole technique out there that I didn’t know about.

I have CS4 and CS5 on windows 7 with this problem.

I have had this work on some cases. For example when using the character map in Windows it won’t paste directly into a text layer, but will paste into the search bar (or anything else really).

This would only work in FCP, as far as After Effects goes – always go hi-res.

Check out this video, it has some great editing and color correction. The titles are also pretty good, but they are done in 3DS Max and then composited in After Effects (adding things like the glow behind it).
To add interest to your shots of this machine in your video you can do similar slow-mo ramps (like 300). I’m not sure if FCP does that, but I would bet that it can. And if not, After Effects sure can. Check out this tutorial:

Not sure how to do that exactly, but Mocca is definitely known for its ability to roto. Check out the various tutorials on Imagineer’s website.
I didn’t actually watch this, but it might be helpful:

People like me…. 😉
Yes you are right, they are very generous with their pricing I’m sure it will be reasonable. Whatever it is I am ready to pay for this one! It will literally save me hours and hours of time, and everyone knows
time = money (specially in this business).– Spencer
