so how hard would it be to make energy balls and and have them being thrown against someone?
i have about 8 scenes that will need balls of energy being thrown.

plus how hard would it be to get three aerial photoreasictic shots?

Just pictures, or actual video footage?

3D… it can take a lot of work. This took me over 3 weeks of all day woork:

It is only one block and bogged dow n the computer and took forever to render out (granted there are some thing that are more detailed than necessary. Citys and highly detailed locations are harder than seance more simple locations like the county or a mountain.

If it is to complex and detailed or doesn’t need to much camera movement I would try and get it mat painted. Quicker and higher quality.

Also, if you need aerial shots made you may be able to get someone to make you some though this thread: http://www.christianfilmmakers.org/forums/viewthread/6260/

Energy balls usually aren’t too hard.

Heli shots are difficult to pull of convincingly. My brother is a pilot though… (only $500 per hour of flight time…)  smile
