Are any other doper busy making movies with this game. I’ve just completed and uploaded my first, [Robot mistress](http://movies.lionhead.com/movie/41656). Has anyone here got any tips on using it, I was ahving trouble matching scenes to what I wanted to do and I was sure there was supposed to be some way to add special effects but I couldn’t find it.

I apologise if there’s another thread on this already but searching cafe society for “The movies” didn’t narrow it down much 🙂

I did find the [old thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=343977), and I think everybody here who’d been playing it has popped in at least once to mention it and link to themselves. I haven’t been very active recently (at all). My Robot From The Past series may never be completed, especially since my main character retired about ten seconds after the second one finished filming!
