Wow, thanks for the enlightening responses. I find the 36 dramatic situations fascinating, especially coming from 100s of years ago (that stuff just doesn't go out of style). I think these replies will certainly help me build a good foundation for this film, which is due Dec. 15. I will no...

Hey guys, this might be a crass question that will get some fingers waved at, but noless: I'm entering in a short film competition (7 minutes or less) which I will be filming with my Panasonic GS150. I am mostly into cinematography, so my question is, What are some very basic plots that could...

You guys are naming a lot of the directors I would, but you're forgetting some great movies by those directors. Scorsese, for example, directed Casino which I consider to be better than Goodfellas in many aspects. Aviator and Gangs of NY weren't even that good...good directing I suppose, but...

wattersk, I use Anvil Studios (free, http://www.anvilstudio.com/) to make midis, then usually import them into piano roll tracks in Fruity Loops. I'm a beginner at FL so my synths aren't the best sounding, but I'm willing to make music for you as well. As RecordaholicLBC said, a...

That's really interesting (especially the 200k post), but how do you find out what format and what equipment movies used? Is there a website somewhere that will tell that, or do you watch special features on the DVD or what?

Thanks guys, I'll check both of those links out.

Does anyone know any good websites or books with easy-to-read guerilla film-making guides. I'm talking about (relatively) cheap ways to do lighting, make green screens, boom poles, etc. Thanks so much.

CootDog, What wide angle lens do you have for your GS150? How much did it cost and where did you buy it? Thank you.

When researching lenses on sites like www.bhphotovideo.com , they allow you to search by size. How do I know what size my Panasonic GS150 uses? And will any lens that's the same size work? I'm looking for a fairly cheap wide-angle lens, and a lot of wide-angle converter lenses I see are only...

I have a Panasonic GS150 camera, and I have been looking into getting a shotgun mic for it. I have a few questions though. First off, is the little clip socket on the top of cameras standard so that every mic will fit? Also, some Sony mics seem to say they're for compatible Handycams--does...

directorlca, unfortunately my camera doesn't do interval recording, but... The WinDV program you recommended Will Vincent is awesome--exactly what I was looking for! Thank you very much.

Does anyone know of a program or method to capture frames in intervals from a minidv camera via firewire on a pc? I want to do some time lapse shots of a sunset from out my window, and the only way I could do it now would be to record all 5-6 hours and speed it up, which I doubt I have the hard...

Although I don't exactly know HOW to do the color isolation, I can recommend the DVD for the movie Pleasantville. In the movie, a 50's B&W sitcom settings gets corrupted by 20th century teens, and things gradually start becoming color (cars, flowers, eventually people). There are some...

I've got the GS150, it's NTSC and i don't know anything about it being offered in PAL, but if it is I can recommend. I payed only 530 US dollars online for it (new, retail from www.newegg.com) and I'm nothing but pleased with it. The GS400 is supposed to have the best color representation of...

Oh, and the main reason we pushed the movie out so fast is that the game that we joked about never being released (since it's been over a year in the works) was announced to be released this month, so we had to get it out before the plot became obsolete.
