I've done this before and it looks great.
Get a piece of drywall and strip the paper off one side. Dig some holes in it. On location, hold the drywall where you want the holes to be. This will make sure the lighting on the holes will match when later in post you cut the holes out of your reference shot and track them into your action shot.

i think u have msp 6 right film guy, well go to www.artbeats.com and order your free sample stock footage cd, there is bullet holes against a blue background for keying into live footage on it. or if u dont want to do that then throw soft chock against the the wall and line the clips up so u cant see it being thrown at the wall.

i really don't know why everyone recommends the arts beats free cd. it's watermarked or whatever you call it, and it's small as hell...i got one and i wasn't too excited. plus the clips you can order are expensive as hell.christian did this exact same thing using adobe after effects, and did it ever look good. a little bit of motion tracking, some bitmapped holes, and voila, the holes actually appear. or, get some real soft and chalky material as your wall, and just blast the hell out of it with an airgun off camera, like the matrix's lobby scene.  ------------------

Here's a tip that worked fine for us. Get hold of some VERY soft chalk (we got ours at an art supply store) that's a couple shades lighter than the wall... pink for red brick sort of thing. With a good slingshot, a piece of soft chalk hitting the wall looks damned impressive. It leaves a scar, like a bullet hit, and a puff of dust, too.Sarge |

Those clips are not really supposed to be used, they're only to give you an idea of what the footage will actually look like. Stock footage is expensive...and depending on both your budget and what you're trying to do, it might just be cheaper to do it yourself. |

You can crop the artbeat clips to remove the watermark and also enlarge them in After Effects or some similar program. If you use the explosions they go by pretty fast and its hard to see the small imperfections. Of course that is not what the cd is intended for, but if you just want to fool around with them, it can be done.  ------------------

Go to your local shooting range. Bring a fake(?) wall that looks like the one that is supposed to be shot. Then blast the crap out of it.Oh, make sure you film it. ------------------
