video editing question with premiere

[summers]

hello, a newbie question but not too far fetched i hope

i saw the edited starwars lightsaber video and i thought it was pretty good for a sample.
ive read the faq and have noticed that it included to say that one could make laser effects from a gun as well. i think thats a great idea.

but my idea is a little bit more of a jump from that idea.
im thinking of making a movie with me and a bunch of friends. [we're proffessionals, not moronic kids]

could i use premiere to add sparks to two clashing objects such as two metallic bars or swords? [like when two metal blades touch, to make a spark release from between them]
and would it also be possible to completly change the background someone was in? like in japanimation, when a character realizes something, the background changes to a wild animation.

along with that can i use the morphology technique to change the environment my character is standing in to something different?? like if he were standing in a room then it morph to outside [if the person and angles were exactly the same in both environments]

i got this site url from a friend and thought it was great. what other possible video editing things can i do with adobe premiere [already mentioned: lightsaber, laser gun]

thanks in advance

For "professionals who aren't moronic kids", I'd suggest that you do a Google search for (on one line) "Adobe Premiere" AND "special effects". Doing so, regardless of your perceived status in life, will provide you with a plethora of sites, including the following:

which contains a veritable cornucopia of achievable special effects (flash, boom, bang!).


By the way, PROFESSIONAL is spelled with only one "F" ;>}

"thanks set"

My pleasure - and I sincerely hope you find the suggested link(s) useful ;>}


I guess you didn't "read between the lines". These boards are open to all, regardless of skill level, age, gender, or native tongue. As a consequence, I assure you that there are many (particularly those who feel compelled to accompany their screennames with "adorable" little graphic images) who might take offense at your reference to "moronic kids" - accurate or otherwise...
