What are you working on today? Community Blog

Big or small! On a film shoot? Writing? Whatever!

If you do something for your film, even something small, every day, it WILL get made! Eventually. Let this blog help you.

Don't procrastinate! Even something as small as proofreading or shopping for batteries counts.

So what are YOU working on today? Post below! And if the answer is nothing, think of something!

Do you happen to have a reference point for that French law? I’d love to email them a link.

From the French government website:
- for your reference, the rather clunky auto-translated English version https://entreprendre.service-public.fr/vosdroits/F23211?lang=en (a straightforward Google translate is marginally better)
- for your customer, the original French version https://entreprendre.service-public.fr/vosdroits/F23211

You can find the same info repackaged by a variety of business advice websites if you use the search terms "delai paiement facture entreprise"

Point to note: there are different penalties for a sole trader (Entreprise individuelle, EI) and a limited company, the latter being pretty stiff - 2 million Euros for a first offence, and double thereafter! As you might infer, there used to be a chronic problem in France with late payment of invoices. It's getting better now.

Thanks. Kind of wish I was incorporated instead of an individual/sole proprietor.

But this gives me plenty to work with.

Is it, though?

Been inactive here lately, but not by choice...illness and a death in the family. I'm hoping to get back into work now. I've recently become very interested in incorporating super 8 into my animation workflow, and have acquired a couple of clean, working cameras. Have only shot one cassette so far and am awaiting its return from the lab after processing/scanning. Right now the plan is to shoot black and white and then incorporate this footage into scenes built in Blender and/or edited in DaVinci Resolve. Will post when I get some results to share. Excited by my (partial) return to analog!

While impatiently awaiting the return of my footage (I am SO spoiled by digital immediacy that I'm forgetting the niceties of anticipation when it comes to analog) I've been working on looks for this project, tentatively titled "Self Portrait in the form of an Enigma". The Super 8 footage will be incorporated into the 2D/3D workflow in a kind of unique (I hope) way, but for the time being I'm just playing with some basic looks.
(The film will also deal with the human impulse to make images)
