When you're writing a screenplay you shouldn't write the directions/ what it's going to look and cut like. Just write the dialogue and direct the cam op/work with the DoP/Cinematographer when you're planning the scenes and shooting. It'll save you a lot of time writing.

This is a film I shot in 3 hours as part of a 24 hour film challenge (We were delayed by hours, supposed to start nearly 5 hours before) on 25th July 2015. The editor had no experience (She's an actor and the odd time Director) I think shbe did quite well. Normally I'd have weeks beforehand to...

Has anyone here had experience with VoD? I've been looking into it and I can't seem to find much in regard to it's worth as a distribution platform. Has anyone here used it and if so is it worth the price of a pro account (€159 p/y)? Thanks in advance, Andy

That guy seems to be a bit of a waffler. I've traveled with my dslr's on flights and never had this. I remember reading an article on this particular subject and this particular guy. You need a lot more gamma rays to kill pixels, much more than you could ever get on a plane. If I find the...

I would use them in a narrative as a backup for the boom or vice versa. If in a narrative just make sure they're well hidden.

That was pretty good.

Hey Hermit, I used to use a Canon HF G25 and found it was quite good for mini-documentaries and micro budget stuff, but it was lacking in a few places. (Such as no XLR ports) If you have XLR you can save a fair bit of time (& money) in post. Also the handle on the XA20 is very handy for...

Hey everyone, What are the contents of your filmmaking kit and what is it mainly used for? I'm a firm believer in only use what you need and my kit does me for every occasion that has arisen so far. My kit: Cameras: Panasonic GH4 with cage (mainly used for corporate and documentary) Canon 60D...

I wish I had of known about this in November. It would have helped to no end. :lol:

Very cool. I gave it a like.

The BMPCC I think is a bad choice on a lower budget. As it's probably been said millions of time here, the batteries are terrible. The quality of the BMPCC is brilliant but I find the battery thing a huge hindrance during a shoot. 15-20 mins per battery, even with switching the camera off as...

I have a Canon 60D and a Panasonic GH4 and for a lot of jobs I go with the Canon. As the previous posters said, it all depends on what you need. A lot of the corporate jobs I do just need a basic 720p or 1080p web output so I go with the 60D. If they need more I'll use the GH4. For a lot of...

I used my 60D to shoot a feature recently. I have a GH4 as well but went with the Canon. Just make sure you have good lighting and it should turn out looking great.

Lol, Thanks. :D

Lol, don't really like the whole salesman dishonesty and spins. I was testing low light and used what I had, I think that's what indie filmmaking is all about. :) I'm not really looking for criticism on the short as a whole, more the the shots i've taken. It's been a long time since I've had...
