Thanks! We got the maps from Nasa (public domain) and created the smoke in Motion. Then put it all together in After Effects. I do a lot of motion graphics contracts, so was able to use my experience on my own films. -JJ http://www.LowBudgetComedy.com

Uranium City, does that have any relation to the Uranium City in Canada?

Hi all, After a few months, my documentaries "Against The Odds" and "Monte Cassino" are now up on Amazon VOD, it takes a while for them to put up VOD films, so if you're planning on using createspace, submit your film early (my films took 6 months). You can watch the first few minutes of each...

My brother and I recently finished our 40 minute documentary about the Battle of Monte Cassino during World War 2. We concentrated on the Polish soldiers that fought and captured the Monastery at Monte Cassino as our heritage is Polish and not many people know about the existence of a Polish...

The way that I did the code was through PayPal, although you can't easily have discounts for PayPal shopping carts you can get notes from the buyer where they can enter in a code and then refund the difference to the buyer, which is what we do. Yes, this is a feature film (80 mins long) but...

Or, you can also consider making the film Creative Commons, and allow other artists to certain rights without restricting your commercial viability. Check out http://creativecommons.org/ Some people argue that the copyright system does more harm than good and that creative commons offers a...

Hey, I've directed a couple of films, and my two documentaries are now for sale on Amazon. If anyone wants to get their films up on Amazon, check out the service CreateSpace.com. They sell your dvds and you keep a percentage of the sale, but they do all the shipping and duplication, so it's...

We just got "Low Budget" up on IndieFlix.com as a streaming rental. This means that you can now watch the entire unabridged film for $4.95. This includes the scenes cut from the web version. http://www.indieflix.com/Films/LowBudget I highly recommend IndieFlix.com for other independent...

Thanks! We shot the film on a pair of DVX100s on 24p. The quality is pretty good, and these days it's probably good enough for broadcast. The trick is to find a broadcaster, a lot of them are hesitant because it's a such a niche topic film. Here's episode 5 "German Acting Technique".. please...

I just saw a fun film about the industry called "The Big Picture". It's an 80s film directed by Christopher Guest and starring Kevin Bacon. It's a bit over the top, but if you live and work in LA, you'll see parts of your own life in it. I highly recommend watching it now. It's on Netflix...
