So I have a t3i and bought a cheap gemini 28 prime off my friend. He gave me an adapter that works on another 50 prime minolta that he gave me, but can't seem to get the adapter to catch on the 28. I've been looking for an adapter online for the 28 but can't find anything. What should I do?

Ignore these fools Lexi! I like the concept, the format does need a lot of work though. There's just too much action descriptions. It also needs to have some type of overall plot that it's moving towards. A lot of it just felt unnecessary. Keep working at it though! Rome wasn't built in a day...

Maybe find a blank room with white walls and set design to make your own interrogation room. Film-making is all about illusions. No one knows what you don't tell them. Maybe get a smaller room and get the strong dangling lights overhead with a table in the middle. :)

lol I wouldn't go there again to film.

Well I'm actually not in film school. I just told the people that so I could get the location for free lol. I agree though that film school is pointless. Waste of money.

Thanks for the response. but haha you'd think they'd teach it! How much would it cost you think? I'm still young so obviously I'm not rolling in the benjamins.

So I am looking to film on a certain location. and a lady gave me a form I need to fill out, and I told her it was a student film for non-commercial use, so I'm getting to use the location free of charge. So I filled out the form and at the end it says I will need a certificate of insurance...

Thanks for the advice guys. Hey, we all learn something new everyday. I think what I'm going to do is just let it roll from here on out. I'll only provide input if he asks, and if I have to wait around a billion hours at the expense of everyone's sanity, then that's what I'm going to do :)

Not that I mind helping someone out, because everyone has to start from somewhere. I get that. But imo it's not that he's not willing to people's suggestions. But he acts like he already knows everything. I was the DP, cameraman and editor on a recent project and have been making films for a...

sounds like you need to do a little research. I'm making a spaghetti western currently and have been studying them for the past 2 months. The clothing, dialect, lighting, angles, cutting, it's tedious work man. But if you're passionate enough about what you're doing it feels more like fun than...

I think it's really a love it or hate it sort of thing. I hated it, only because I felt it moved so slow it made no attempt to keep the audience involved. Even in slower movies there still is usually something that keeps the story driving and into it. This I felt did not do this. Overall I...

How long do you usually wait between casting call postings and the actual audition day? I have mine scheduled for the 27th of July and started posting casting calls yesterday. I might move it up because it seems really far away

very good point there. I didn't think about it like that.

wow, not bad at all. Good concept I think. My first attempt at a screenplay was way worse than that.

I'm just curious if actors will actually show up to an audition if you say no pay. I mean I know they probably will either way, but it seems like there would be a lot more if you say there is pay. Is it really a hit or miss type of thing if the concept is interesting enough though?
