[9:18] [Short Film] "Pumped" Hey indietalk, I just wanted to share the short film I just finished. I submitted a five minute cut of this film to USC and this is my final version :) https://vimeo.com/118880790

Hi there, My friends and I just a few college filmmakers, we do short films that we write/direct/produce ourselves. Since high school, we've used a RODE Video Mic (not the pro), a RODE boom pole, and a Tascam DR-05. We're going to start our longest project and we want to completely upgrade our...

It will be stationary. We've shot the footage already and the green screen is perfect, we spent a lot of time lighting it properly and there are no imperfections on it.

I've never done anything with a green screen, so I've never had to go through the keying process. Our set up is going to be filming from the outside of a car, looking in, with a green screen covering the windows. The car is standing still in the film. So, a pretty simple effect, but I have no...

Howdy, I'm looking to upgrade my tripod. The one I'm using now I purchased for around $100 and it's decent, the pans/tilts are very smooth, but the head is constantly coming loose from the sticks and it's incredibly difficult to find a spot where it won't do that. It's got a rod in the center...

Right right, that's all I'm looking for. A few more questions if you don't mind: would you recommend changing the aspect ratio of the whole project file or just adding the black bars to the finished project? Also, what are the other things I can do with magic lantern? Is there a video or a list...

I haven't installed magic lantern yet but in the back of my head I thought Magic Lantern should have an option to do this, but I could never find any confirmation on their website or anything. Would you tell me where I could find that setting?

I have a Canon 60D and I want to start adding widescreen bars in post production, either by adding the black bars my self or just changing the aspect ratio. However, I have no anamorphic lenses and I won't for a very long time. I have no way of really marking where the bars would be, so I'm...

I shoot on a Canon 60D with a 28-70mm f/2.8 lens on it. As a graduation gift I'm going to buy a glidecam, but I don't know whether to get the HD-2000 or 4000. I know the difference is mostly in the weight it can support but is there any difference in the steadiness or the quality of the actual...

No shots were slowed down, actually. The tracking shots were all with a flycam nano stabilizer. It's a little bumpy but it's better than nothing. Thank you for the comment, I appreciate it! What did you think of the story, was it easy to follow?

yeah i always try to keep the ISO as low as possible and the shutter speed in that area.

I mainly just want to know what a better workflow would be, the difference between the footage I get and the footage after conversion/rendering is really drastic and I don't know enough about this to figure out better render/conversion settings.

I use a couple lights for most of my shoots, and if I don't it's usually already pretty well lit.

I haven't added any codecs. First I import my footage onto my computer from my memory card, then I convert with MPEG Streamclip. I use the Apple motion JPEG A compression settings at 100% quality. As for my render settings, I render out to .wmv format, 1080p, 24 fps, all quality settings at...
