    Help with a bloodshot eye in After Effects CS5

    I'm new to AE CS5 and I'm learning it as I go. I wanted to make a quick video where a blood vessel pops in someone's eye. What method would you suggest? Can it be done completely in AE or would I need other programs? Thanks to anyone that can help.

    Nikon Glass pointers (D3200)

    Hey can anyone point to some tips and good lenses for exterior night shots with a Nikon D3200. I'm renting one next week for five days and I wanted some pointers before hand to get a jump on playing with it and some glass to rent alongside it. Thanks everyone.

    Where to Start Producer/funding Hunting

    Oh I don't need named talent. So long as people can act/crew professionally and well, I'm with it. When I say I have my team, I meant the crew, nothing on the casting side. Right now the proposal package has the budget as a micro-feature for $75,000. And yeah, lol I asked 'How do I approach...

    Where to Start Producer/funding Hunting

    Yes, I'm seeking funding on my own and looking for a producer as well, someone who is established and gotten movies made previously since my efforts alone in finding funding have not been fruitful. I have not gone the crow-funding way just yet as it seems great for small goals but not so much...

    Question on Average cost of licensing

    Thanks for all the responses guys. I've spent the last month going nearly insane trying to get funding and it's nerve wracking. Every song would be synchronized, save three, they'd be sung which I assume is actually more. I do this because I love film and apparently hate myself. I have a few...

    Where to Start Producer/funding Hunting

    I'm all set to go with making a feature, I've put feelers out, I've aligned a great team of people who love the idea and want to work...now I have to find a producer and subsequently money. And I know about finding producers who have worked at your level, whose work shows an interest or fondness...

    Question on Average cost of licensing

    I'm in the midst of securing funding and I've been told that most songs tend to go for 3-10k, depending on popularity. How true is this? I know it varies song-to-song, but is there a median price? I don't need the Beatles, but I do need a few pop-punk songs and I think that'd be on the lower-end...

    Critique my query letter to a cinematographer

    Whenever I've worked on projects I've worked with those I know. I saw the demo reel of a local cinematographer and I I want to work with her on a project, but her reel is a few years old and she now works as a wedding videographer. So, I wrote a query, anything I should add? Remove? What should...

    Practical Effect Help: Paper Cyclone/Tornado

    I'm planing a photo-shoot with my friends, the photos would depict us with various powers and one of the trickier ones is the telekinetic shot. I have the rest of it set up, but I wanted a whirl of papers moving in a cyclone around the subject (shot as separate plates). What's the best way to...

    Help with a mirror shot.

    I've written a short 5-minute piece in which at some point the male and female lead stand in front of a brass double-door elevator, ideally each of them would be reflected in their respective door so that during their argument (more a passionate plea from one to the other) the doors would slide...

    Question about shooting in NY or in crowds

    I had an idea to shoot in NY with a 3-person crew and a two actor story. I'd written a feature-length script that called for some shots in the New York Comic Con, which isn't hard since A) I have several friends that have booths there each year, and I've seen other people wandering with cameras...
