    film festivals vs the distributor

    I'll have to do that, and hopefully find a distributor. Had to make some late changes to film/video. Hopefully this is the last stage of it. I had around 28 DVD's burned, but then there was a change in one my music artists, so I had to find a couple others and do some more editing. Now I'm...

    Easiest mistakes to make

    Basically I had to wear all the hats in my film. I had a camera guy in the beginning but he quickly dropped out because he has his own low buddie to start working on. Eventually I did find another camera man, but he lasted only a couple days, and then we was off to another province, but I did...

    film festivals vs the distributor

    The interested parties would be people who run independent film channels and such, including mainstream television and/or theater mediums. I'm just glad I am getting to a final product. Editing sure can take some time, and then there's burning to DVD. marcel

    film festivals vs the distributor

    Lets say that I get a distributor, and then my film/video happens to get chosen by a film festival. By chance there are interested parties wanting my film/video. Would they then have to go through by distributor? marcel

    Easiest mistakes to make

    Don't use a lot of locations, think limited areas you can use or have access to. Really understand your camera angles from far shots to close ups, will a far shot lead into a close up and visa versa. Sound. Get an external mike, as stated before. Do you have a good script written, and what...

    Cinematographer here,tired of pigf**k productions

    Jax, They have to research what they are doing first. Indie's should try and make a couple of short films first. This is where they will falter. If and indie needs a better perspective of how to move a film along they should acquire a comic book and look at the story panels inside them. Those...

    Upgrade hard drive

    thanks for the offer CootDog, but I wouldn't have the slightest clue how'd you be able to edit my film from Chicago, while I'm in Edmonton, Alberta. Act II of my script is a very tricky edit, because one day I shot the mime mask and my voice. Another day I shot myself as my character talking to...
