Thanks, just lots and lots of footage (I have 4 cameras rolling through the day, so lots of footage!)

Hey So I'm doing my first commissioned work this weekend, and have everything prepped, and I'm ready to go, but I just wanted to see if anyone has any advice for shooting stage productions, or any advice they may think will be useful? Many Thanks EDIT: So I did the shoot today, it went...

The only suggestions I have are using paintball smoke grenades to get a smokey effect (Ventilate a room a bit to thin out the gas - I worked in a paintball center for 2 years, and the enola gaye ones are great) and with clever cutting and shot choices you could make it seem like it's coming from...

Hey We are pleased and proud to announce that we (Grumpy Hobo Films) have released our first short film - "The Exchange". Directed by Geraint Thomas. And we're even happier to debut it on the Indietalk forum prior to the official release at 5pm (GMT) on the 8th January 2015! Influenced by...

Indeed it could be! Thanks :)

Thanks! Any criticisms about it?

Hey guys So as some of you may have seen I recently joined here, and recently I'm making an effort to create, it's what I love doing (Even small projects like this). So I ended up making a very handheld camera styled piece to close out 2014! So just as a (Hopefully!) quick foreword to go with...

The first script has been tweaked a bit more recently so when I get the updated script from my writer I'll PM you and if you're interested we can take it from there!

Like I said in my intro I've been working on this for 2 years, so as far as planning and organising film shoots I've done a lot of that (Especially having recently got my full cast together) I've also done a few smaller film shoots, but PM me if you want to talk things through with me. I did...

The 25 minutes is a long time, and we've contemplated shortening each episode but making more, in the end we made the decision to keep the episodes at the longer length, though if it proves to be too much then we'll just have to cut future ones down! (Not to mention the 25 minutes is a...

Series 1 has an 8 episode structure, at about 25 minutes each, as far as the story goes each episode serves it's own purpose, and works well on its own (We've avoided filler episodes that don't do much) but it also contributes to wider arcs (So it caters to casual viewers who want to take it...

Hey there! The name actually comes from a joke I made when myself and my friend were thinking up a name for our Youtube channel/company! The web series is a grounded adaption of a younger Sherlock Holmes (17-18) in the modern day (Though that explanation doesn't do it justice!) It's written by...

Firstly well done on the video (I enjoyed it!) I liked the web chat camera switch (It felt very much like a shot reverse shot, which I'm assuming you were aiming for - So well done!) Personally I think a backing track would have helped build up thee tone, especially towards the end (Even if...

Hi guys I'm Geraint, from Wales, I'm really just getting into proper, structured, film making (Though from a young age I have made small videos from animations to live action), but now I have the people, with the skills I don't have to make film of a good quality, and learn from them...
