I think sets can be anywhere you want. Look at some of these stories and you'll see sets aren't a big issue. All pretty simply outside shots.


Thor vs Hulk

Under Fire

Thu Hunt

GI Joe

As for photoshop...like Ender stated in his how to post photoshop if you have to. I'm not sure (I haven't tried it), but I think you can use the paint program that's already on you computer for fire fight effects and such. I might have a older version of photoshop somewhere. Can't remember what I did with it. Anyway good luck hope to see a dio story from you soon.
