haha! I genuinely laughed! (love RD). I think the walk cycles need some work, but the motion was smooth and you have a good sense of timing. loved the Joker's different dances, especially the hip thrust and then the head spins. Nice work!

I ended my post with that question ;)

LUTs are not for grading. They're for transforming color spaces. What kind of footage are you starting with?

I've had great success with Poster Burner. I get the 24x36 ones made for all my films and they look gorgeous. I think it cost around $18 per poster (but I only ordered one of each)

I'm wrapping up production on my fourth feature. I still have three days left of filming, and most of what we've shot has been cut. I'm also working on a few short films to experiment some new techniques and ideas.

For me, it's definitely finding locations and actors. I enjoy every other part of the process, but on all my movies (shorts and features) casting and getting locations secured is always the most frustrating part. I'm in the middle of my fourth feature right now. We shot the majority of the...

I do. I live in the country where I'm lucky to get 1.5 Mbps down with my internet. Streaming is not an ideal option, so I purchase blu-rays for movies. Plus I like the extras and want to watch to the movie in the best quality I can (without a 4K TV). I know I'm not the only one

The email bit threw me. I have like ten different emails I use so it took me a while to find the right one as well as figure out my password. New site looks great though

Since you reference Bound, why not see how they wrote it? https://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Bound.html

I kind of agree with it. If my feature films that I have are "Christian content", then I would expect advertisers that are friendly toward such. However, I get a lot of what I would consider inappropriate comments daily that have to be deleted. It sounds to me like YouTube is just wanting...

AcousticAI brings up some good points. I've done the freelance thing too and in a way I prefer it over my current situation. The problem with "working in the industry" is that you're working on other people's projects, making their vision happen. For me it sucks a lot of the fun and...

I'm a visual effects sup at a small company by day, and I use my nights and 3 day weekends to pursue directing my own stuff.

I feel that a short needs to be less than five minutes to keep someone's attention. There are exceptions for going longer, but generally no. The beauty about a one minute short is that you're not asking someone to commit a large chunk of time to watch your film. Even if they suspect it might...
