    ITOOFC 5 is here!

    How about using the same public domain short story as a seed for an adaptation. Archive.org has thousands of short and novel lenth texts that are all PD. Maybe someone can decide on an interesting short story and have everyone adapt it to their own version? C

    Google Video

    Well, I’m fairly pleased with the email system (gmail.com) - the indexing system is very nice. Hey, free hosting, I think I might give it a try. Then I can just link to demos from my website so I don’t have to worry about storage size or bandwith…

    How do you like your pay?

    Hmmmm. Food for thought. Although I’m not really worried about conventions, I’m more thinking about your personal preference if all things were equal.

    How do you like your pay?

    ooohh. Prem member. That would explain it. by 1099, I meant that I intend to hire as a contractor, not a W4 employee with witholding taken out.

    How do you like your pay?

    If you were contracted (1099) by a production company to do a job, would you rather work at an hourly, daily, or weekly rate? Also, put what job(s) you do, it might help to know if a PA would rather be daily and a Production Manager would rather be hourly. PS. Is there any way to do surveys...

    Final Draft 5 font question

    It should be there. The three FD fonts are: ‘Courier Final Draft Bold’ : bccourbo.ttf, ‘Courier Final Draft Italic’ : bccouri.ttf, and ‘Courier Final Draft Regular’ : bccour.ttf. They all came on my version and live in the fonts folder. I don’t think I can attach them, but email me...

    white balancing my DVX100A

    White balance has nothing to do with exposure. White balance tells the camera what is white and references the other colors to that so they all look true. Exposure is the amount of light going into the camera to create an image. If the image is too hot, 1, use an ND (Neutral Density) filter...

    Advice

    See, I think the reason so many people end up broke is that it cost money to get into the industry unless you have great nepotistic contacts. Production is depressed in many areas of the US, and doing okay in others. Most likely you will have to travel to the location that the film is being...

    Script Asap

    1, 2, 5? :huh: AND I have to provide the Non-Dis AND budget? You don't want a writer, you want a film package to buy out. You know, the production company usually provides its own legal documents, and budgets out the movie because how is the writer supposed to know if you want to make this...

    mixing Audio & video

    Do you mean the digital flashing numbers on the slate? That is only for slates that have a synchro with the DAT recorder. It’s so that you can queue up the clap, and then rather than search for the right sound on the DAT, you can just key it in and it’ll jump to it - like timecode but for DAT...
