A tradition unlike any other, the shootout or over-the-top action scene is about as common in modern film as yelling “action.” There are a ton of different ways to achieve realistic looks. Some methods are more involved, like using blanks, which means hiring an expert and getting the necessary permits and permission \u2014 then spending a bunch of money on the blanks and guns, THEN also putting your cast and crew in potential danger.<\/p>\n
I find it’s much better to achieve all this in the comfort of your editing suite. That’s where Ricochet by RocketStock<\/a> comes in. In this video tutorial, I’ll show you how to use some FREE elements from the Ricochet pack<\/a> to\u00a0pull off some pretty convincing action scenes.<\/p>\n
