Problem is, as good a storyboarder as I am, I have no equipment to do this with. Will someone please help?
Guess I'll be the one to give real useful info. (How ironic.)
First off, you obviously have a PC (or mac) or else how would you be online? Get a copy of MainActor, its cheep and relatively powerful. Biggest bang for your buck. Then get a cheep Video capture card. I use an All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500 DV, and it seems to do pretty well. But I know some people whom use Dazzles, very effectively I might add. The combination of the two should run under $300 (American). And all of which can be picked up at www.pricewatch.com. That's less than I make per-check, at Wal~mart for the love of Gawd! Surely you can spare that in a months time. It'll at least get you started.

Better useful info.

Screw the capture card. Download PSxMc and rip the cutscenes straight off the game disc

Or you could do it the easy way. But who wants that?

song title

Post by Yami no Eyes » Wed Jul 02, 2003 10:27 pm

Actually it is 'Feuer Frei' Whoich means 'open fire'

But everyone remembers it as the BANG BANG song.

I'll check a few of these options out. I've got rent and life to deal with, so I'll have to wait on some of the more expensive things.

Thanks guys.

Actually it's literal and more appropriate translation is "Fire Freely." But that's OK.

Wouldn't that translate over as "Fire At Will"? Or does the freely have another connotation?

They mean the same thing. Here's the translation page I used.

Same basic meaning, but "fire at will" would translate as:

Feuer am willen!

or someting like that. As you san see Feuer Frei is much more dramatic, and for this reason more than likely the prefered means of which to say.
