Hey all. we here at Void Films have been working around with some pretty nifty ideas. we have figured out a lot on neat camera tricks you can do with a little home video camera, some special makeup effects, and how to edit your films by using only a stereo and V.C.R. Also if you have or know of anything that could be added on to this page, just e-mail us
and we will try it out and put on this page. Of coures you or the inventor will get all the credit. So read on and enjoy all the neat, cheap, and easy things you can do with a video camera.

As we all know there is never anything that keeps a good movie or film going than 
some guy getting his head chopped off, or getting shot in the head.  So we gave you 
these make-up tips to help you get better reveiws on your movies and films.  

1.  Now the first thing you need is money.  It is truley to bad that make-up cost
    cost money, but it is about the only thing you have to pay for.  

2.  You can get fake blood, body-hits, fake skin, and other things that look like
    you just kicked your actors and actresses into a blender at any store that has
    to do with jokes, costumes, and even make-up.  We recommend a costume store of
    somewhat high class, they seem to carry better quality.

3.  You need to know what you need.  And what you wnat.

4.  Shop around, I once found fake blood for fifteen bucks, but at another store the
    same stuff was only five bucks.

5.  Ask for some help.  And if they don't know anything just e-mail us
 and we can help.

Now after you have went down that little list you should make sure to read all the stuff
on the back of the packs.  when you buy fake bullet holes, it should tell you what all you
need.  Most of the higher quality stuff comes in single packs.  Below are some things you
will need to get any type of fake skin to work.

GUN SHOTS
These bad boys are great.  They look great through a crappy camera, and even a good one.
Now they just don't stick to skin.  You need something called Spirit Gumm which is an 
addhesive.  Number two, you will need some type of skin toner, or foundation.  This is
to blend the edges of the bullet hole in with the skin.  You will need fake blood as well,
this should be put on in thick amounts and should be let to drip down around the area of
the wound.  Some packs will come with list that tell you what you need and how to make the
hole look real, but if not here is how we do it.

1.  Find out where you want the hole.  Forehead, cheek, ass, whatever.

2.  Wash the area where the bullet hole will be going.

3.  Put small amount of Spirit Gum on the skin, and the back of the bullet hole.  And then
    place on skin.  Also, some people dabb the Spirit Gum when it is on the skin to make it
    more sticky.  This is a good idea if you plan to have it on for long periods of time.

4.  Blend the edges in with the skin with your make-up.  This helps it look more real.

5.  Apply the blood gel around the edge of the bullet hole.

6.  Take large drops of fake blood and just put them in the center of the bullet hole.  Let 
    the blood drip down the face, or around the area until you are happy.

7.  Get filming.

*The Spirit Gum also has a remover.  But if you want to save money, just use some rubbing 
 alcohol.

Hello everyone.  Now you may all be asking "How do I edit my little video, for cheap?"  Well we are going to explain to you how
to put your video's together, and how to put music on your video.  Now we have upgraded our way of editing to a computer program 
that does a very profesional job.  But due to big old laws I don't think we are aloud to tell you the name.  But I'll check on that.  
Now there is a few things you need to get the job done.

1.  Audio/Video cable, you can buy this cable just about anywhere.  It has 3 or 2 male ends at one end, and the same but only female
    at the other end.  The Video is yellow, and the two audio's are white and red.  If you have only a cable with two at each end
    fear not.  

2.  A camera, video camera that is.  8mm, or VHS. 

3.  A VCR, and camera with audio/video inputs and outputs.

4.  If you want music and the voices on the video to be herd, you must have a audio/video splitter.  2 females at one end, a male at
    the other.

5.  Blank tapes.  One that is right for your camera. And one that is right for your VCR.

6.  For music.  You will need a type of stereo that has audio outputs on the back.  You will not be able to put music on your video
    if you don't have this.  If you are having any trouble, check old stereo systems at the back.  Newer ones do have them too.

*If you are having a hard time with finding any of the above stuff, just ask your local Radio Shackie, or if you have a teacher that
 knows alot about video.  (ie; A drama teacher who does stage work, a media taecher, even a music teacher may know.  But most schools
 have a teacher that may know a bit about the stuff) 

Okay now for the big stuff.  After you have all your stuff you are ready to edit.

1.  Plug one end of your cable into the camera, make sure the camera is on OUTPUT.

2.  Plug the other end into the VCR INPUT.

3.  Now turn on the TV and however you get your videos on your VCR. (when you watch movies)
    *Note, you may have to hit the input button on your TV.

4.  Play the tape in your camera, the footage has to be on the TV.

5.  Now you should have a blank tape in the VCR, when you want to put the video on the good 
    tape (in the VCR) just hit record on your VCR.  This will record the video comming from 
    the camera.

6.  Ploish it up, by goofing around, this method takes a few times to get used to.

Now that you have good video on your good tape, you may want some tunes, voice over whatever.

1.  Get you spiltter.  Plug it in to one of the audio's in the VCR INPUT.

2.  Have two cables (one comming from your camera, and one from your Audio source)

3.  The splitter should have two females that are open, plug one audio from the audio source
    into one, and one from the camera into the other. (This lets you have sound from both.)

4.  If you just want music, plug both audio's from the audio source into the VCR INPUT.

5.  Have your good tape in the camera, and another tape in the VCR, this will be your good 
    good tape.  Hit play on the camera, the VCR should be recording, and then hit play on the
    audio source.

If this doesn't work out, just drop us a line, you may not have proper equipment.
Also remember, this does a cheap job of editing.  But we just say it was ment to
look like that.  But if you want some good quality, go to your local video production
place, and spend $150 to use thier stuff, and you would more than likly have to take
a $150 dollar course to learn how to use it.  Well it's up to you!  Keep the film
rolling!
