The Movies Stunts and Effects Expansion ASIN: B000F3NWE8
I went to the Warrington Film Festival 8th April 2006. Lionhead had Stunts and Effects available to play on.

The tycoon past of the game has been improved on. But I played mostly the movie making side of it.

There are a lot of improvements from The Movies game. You now have a free camera. Which can be placed where you like. It can also do sweeping shots between points 1 and 2, which you can choose their position.

There is a blue screen and green screen now. Blue screen allows you to have backdrops including custom made ones. As well as different floor textures. The screen screen has the backdrop options too. But it has a side screen which makes it appear as if it is moving continually. I saw a helicopter that appeared to be flying above a road. I also saw a spaceship that looked as if it went through hyperspace.

There is also a parrelex set, where you can get say a helicopter or more if you desire to fly between buildings.

There are new sets, Jungle, commercial street, sci-fi corridors including no 5, plus several more.

There are new costumes, hairstyles, backdrops, music, scenes.

Advanced movie maker is now easier to use, also the free cam is easy to use, I found it very natural. But if you prefer the pre shot scenes, you can still do that too.

There is a minature city, which has car chase scenes, helicopter and spaceship scenes. Like a mothership hovering above the city.

From the perspective of making movies with Stunts and Effects, your creative options are now almost limitless. What I saw just blew me away. I can not wait for this to be released, it is totally awesome. You can make your own movies, that can actually look very good.

I was the second person to play the game, and the first person to use the free cam. Whatever you here about this game, can not do justice to how good it actually is.

This is the best game I have ever played, by far.

Finally!
The first expansion pack from Lionhead Studios for the underappreciated, 2005 title: The Movies.

This time around you'll be building up your studio with all new sets including a minature city, blue/green backdrop CGI - custom scenes, Japanese gardens, Spy settings and more. Behind the scenes you'll be given the chance of training and exploiting a team of stunt experts and advancing in the latest special effects technology. While you juggle your cash with producing movies, and looking after your cast, you'll be given more options than ever before.

Not only from new scenes and sets, more options are available to add an even more distinctive stamp on your movies. Due to fan outroars, finally one of the most sought modes is available: Free Camera! You'll be able to literally take your shots from any angle, in any motion or direction you want!

This expansion, along with added content, expands on the eye candy with new particle effects shown off by the new stunts and effects package, that feature the ability to add high speed car chases, and air chases! Catastrophic explosions and the most insane stunts you could put any actor through.

The expansion not only explores more depths to the movie industry, but opens the oppotunities for all gamers to create the true movie they've been waiting to make.

make it happen
i loved the movies i think it is genuinly a ground breaking game even though you needed quite a powerful computer to play at any real level.This adds so much that was missing the explosions and more violence and action to all your films.Adds so much more depth and fun to creating your master pieces even though i personally find game quite difficult i do love it and love the thrill of making the movies
top drawer you got the movies buy this you havent buy the movies then buy this
