When did you start making videos?

In August of 2008, but we had made a few expirimental movies a few years earlier.

I want to get a camera. What kind should I get?

Depending on your budget, we will put a list. Depending on how much you have this is the type of camera you should get. If you have:

$50-100: Sorry but you should save up just a little bit more, or go for a webcam.

$100-150: Definetaly go for the Flip Video Ultra which is just 149.99. 

$150-200: Definetaly go for the Flip Video Ultra HD which is on sale at best buy right now for only 159.99.

$200-250: Still go for the Flip Video Ultra HD and you will have a few dollars left over to spend on yourself.

$250-300: Get the JVC Everio Standard Definition camcorder. Great.

$300 and up: Get whatever camera you want, just try to get it in HD. If you have over one thousand dollars to spend on a videocamera, then get the Canon-Vixia HG20 HD camcorder. That is what we use. It is about 1,299.99. Yeah. That's right. Eat it.

What editing sofware do you use?

Well, I (BrightLiteFilms) do most of the editing (excluding BlackHawk's little videos) for all of our videos. I use Adobe After Effects CS4 which is about $999.99. I also use Adobe Photoshop CS4 Professional which is about $1,199.99. And occassionally I will use Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 which is about $799.99. I just got a new program called Autodesk 3DS Max 32-64 bit. This allows me to animate scenes editing materials in the clip. It costs about $3,999.99. And, for all of those little videos, we use windows movie maker standard edition which is free.

Are you making Nerf Wars: The Zombie Part Four?

Yes we are. We are just starting the idea and thought process so be patient please.

What happened to Nerf Wars: The Elimination?

Well, it got deleted by YouTube due to copyright violation. What kind of copyright violation you may ask? We had a song by Disturbed in the video.

How come you never respond to my messages?

Our lives are not spent on YouTube, people! We get about 50 messages a day and it gets hard to answer them all.

Why did you block me on YouTube?

Because we either found an offensive comment (we do appreciate constructive criticism) or you sent us a hate message. Fact: we don't care if you think that Nerf is for fags.

How much altogether did you spend on equipment (video software, camera, tripod, lights, etc.)?

About $7,500.00. But, all of the software my dad got from his work and gave to me. So now it costed only about $1,000.00.

Are you rich?

Most definetaly not. We earned that money ourselves, and me nor BlackHawk get allowances. I earn my money through Google Adsense and cleaning cars and crap. But we are not rich.

Where did you get all of your video effects from (muzzle flashes, explosions, fire, sound effects, visual effects, etc.)?
