This is one of those things your kid will kill you for when she's all grows up! They don't really celebrate Halloween in the Netherlands so we miss it incredibly. So of course, we put this together for the family, and to celebrate our own little Halloween here. I thought I'd share it with all...

King Goldfish.... Glad to hear someone likes the film as much as me. I've watched it a hundred times and I still think the thing is pretty funny...my brother drank tons of water, and it came out in three installments...which I think made it more funny. It's 100% real... Thanks for the feedback

I'm gathering music for the latest project. I'm tapping all sorts of resources...my wife (mandolin), my cousin (cello), my uncle (guitar, electric, accoustic), & a close friend (flute)...anyone with any musical experience and who is willing...I'm using. This is how I put together the score for...

Some people can't stomach the operation stuff (ZenSteve???)...the scalpel was like a mini pac man with razor jaws, chewing up the torn parts of the ligament. I have about 30 minutes of coverage from the actual operation. The injury happened while playing basketball last year...torn ACL and...

Panasonic DVX100...I'm loving this camera. The knee is coming along...Thanks...

I had a spinal, so I was numb from the waste down, my thighs felt like big water balloons. The Dr. was pretty cool about me having the camera with me. He tried to give me a live feed into his scope camera which was inside my knee and about 2 mm wide...but we had translation problems, my camera...

Glad this Truffaut post got some attention. I was a bit worried about the first two replies. I'm a big fan and somewhat influenced by his ideas and passion with film. Another quote, in a letter to a close friend: "Good films are shot in rooms, with one's ass in a chair."...

I took my DV cam into knee surgery with me and shot footage through the whole thing, and later that day, put this little short together....Enjoy!! music by Frogholler of Berks County, PA. http://www.bottomunion.com/HaikuFilms/Knee.html

I've been readinga biography on Truffaut, thought this quote would be appropriate for everyone: "The film of tomorrow appears to me as even more personal than an individual and autobiographical novel, like a confession, or a diary. The young filmmakers will express themselves in the first...

Well Done, Indie...Keep up the kick-ass work!!

To Network, find solutions to problems, tech advice, socialize...Basically all of the above...and I do find myself lurking sometimes...

Professional athlete, shoot in the off-season and edit during season...cause all you want to do with your free time is sit on your ass anyway....

Just got on this thing as well. Been cruising around the forum, figuring some things out. I'm a young filmmaker living in the Netherlands. I shoot most of my films in the summer (in the states), and return here for work, and spend the winter editing them. My latest film was titled, Westless...

punchline I wanted to exaggerate the hike, build up anticipation for the punchline...get you thinking, "what is going on? why am I watching this guy hike this rim? Is something going to happen?" Get the viewer inside his/her head, so the joke has a better effect. It is possible I stayed too...

Just throwing this question out there for all you more technologically advanced than myself. If I wanted to throw some trailers on the web, what would be the ideal (most efficient, without losing too much quality, without making the size too big) custom settings for Quicktime movies? Please...
