    My first venture with 16mm film

    Hello everyone! I don't post often (I usually lurk and read a lot of threads). I'm attending a technical college that has a good program and one of the few left that still teach film. I shot on film for the first time on a Bolex H16, Kodak 50D film stock. I absolutely loved it. I wanted to share...

    watch "City Nights" Latest Short Film

    I really liked this and thought you did an amazing job. It has a nice slow burn to it which I like, and I was really impressed with the dialogue; maybe a turnoff to others, but I found it gave more depth to these characters we were only going to be with a short time. Just out of curiosity, what...

    Models! (And not the sexy kind)

    Not sure if this is the right board to be posting (and please correct me if I'm wrong), but I was curious if anyone knew anything about models; I've always loved movies that used models like in the traditional way (like Interstellar) for example, rather than CGI. I would love to get some...

    Let's say your friend composes your music...

    ....for you low budget film. Let's say you pay him an amount of money for his contribution. Let's say you enter the film into a festival, and in the random chance it gets bought by a studio for distribution. Is the studio then required to give the composer more money (assuming it makes money in...

    Question about creating characters vs. plot.

    These responses are a great read. Sometimes I get ideas for stories just from a phrase, or a particular interesting word. Weird how that works. Everyone writes differently and I believe (in my opinion), there are plenty of great stories that have broken the mold by not following traditional...

    What type of story do you like?

    Sorry for the delayed response, everyone. I haven't been getting email notifications about the thread like I should. As for me, I enjoy both types. I think it seems that the multi story thing is starting to get a little more popular, but like it was mentioned, I can definitely see it harder to...

    What type of story do you like?

    Thanks for the responses so far, people! Just curious; I see a couple of you said that the multi story is usually harder to pull off. Is there an example of a movie you saw with a multi story that just didn't work off? Perhaps there was no big payoff for the audience, or none of the characters...

    What type of story do you like?

    Hey guys, just a random thought bouncing around in my head out of genuine curiosity; Which of the two styles/format of stories do you like in movies: A. A straight forward narrative with the typical protagonist/antagonist and maybe a few secondary characters. You have a decent idea of what's...

    My 48 Hour Film Festival Short

    I took place in this years 48 Hour Film Festival Project in New Orleans, La. This was the first time I really made a movie with people lol. We had a lot of difficulties throughout the weekend and we ultimately missed the deadline to submit it. Our film was still screened, it just couldn't...

    48 Hour Film Project/Festival

    Hey guys (and gals), I have a quick question. My wife and I are thinking about participating in this years 48 hour film festival project (New Orleans, July 18-20), but I have a question about the submission guidelines, and I figured someone on here might have had the experience with this...

    Top down shot spiralling upwards/outwards - Help

    I instantly thought of the scene in Breaking Bad where Jesse tries heroin for the first time. Great shot.
