I don't actually have anything to add here, but WOW great response Buddy Greenfield :D

I don't clarify in the film how she "wakes up" till the end, i'm sort of going for a surreal/magical realism/mysterious kind of vibe... possibly ending up with a confusing/nonsensical kind of result, but we'll see ;) She wakes up in Boulder, Colorado a town that's heavy on 60's nostalgia and...

This is actually astonishing to me, given the internet. I wonder why it is that people can turn a profit moving porn which is available in a staggering magnitude, usually for absolutely free, but they can't compete with for pay business models like netflix. :weird: Is porn just like, literally...

Hey! So I am trying to figure out a final title for the project that I'm working on, (about a hippie who wakes up in 2008, and must learn to negotiate the challenges of living in the modern world) and I'm trying to figure out what people respond to. If anyone has a moment they could spare on a...

That's great advice zensteve, thanks!! CDCosta, that's awesome that you have someone who's with you the whole sound process! I'm really hoping that I'll be able to do something similar a project or two down the line! :)

could anyone here give me an estimate (however rough or wide) it would cost to get dialogue-editing/a very basic mix done by a post audio-professional for a feature project, outside of an industry area such as LA or NY? I know that this is highly variable and individual to a given project and a...

Ha! That was a hilarious clip! I loved the end :)

Haha, okay I see that the answer to "how well can this work for unknowns" is "very." I was just initially curious because a several of the people mentioned in the article - (sort of) Barbara and Andres Muschietti, Rodrigo Blaas, and expecially Ricardo de Montreuil - had industry...

Super interesting article sonny, thanks for sharing! I wonder, District 9 aside, how viable a strategy this is for people who don't already have connections in ze hollywoodz...

Great summary Alcove :D Thanks!

Also, just for extra info, the way that the image quality looks worse is that it appears a lot noisier... Like, what it looks like to me is if I had brightened the midlevels/highlights of every shot without taking the shadows down... whereas on express the image was darker and more contrast-y...

Hey! So I just transferred the project that I'm working on from FCE to FCP, and the image quality looks noticeably worse in Pro. Now, I'm assuming that this is because FCP is displaying the footage more loyally - I shot the project with a cannon GL1 so we're not talking high-quality image to...

Man, I have the "no story" problem aaalllllll the time... including, evidently, while editing completed projects :p One thing that's always helpful for me is going back to some basic structure paradigms and working with my script relative to where various "Structure" gurus say they should go...

I'm sorry guys, this is normally the kind of (incredibly basic) question that i'd try to figure out with the magic of google, but i'm just an teensy bit sleep-deprived and google has seemingly transformed into a flock of oscillating butterflies... if i'm trying to do a quick and dirty "make the...

I'm really into Bruno Coulais (Microcosmos, Coraline) right now.
