Yes, that Elvira clip is great! Thats the kind of smoky, mysterious lighting. If the colours were more surreal like Suspiria itd be perfect.

I'm making a pitch for some halloween comedy short films and I have a distinct look in mind. I'm wondering if anyone here knows of any other examples of films that have this kind of lighting. I've looked at Halloween themed episodes of tv shows and got some good stuff there but would like more...

congrats! Looks well put together from the trailer

Yeah, I think one of the issues is that my DP is quite inexperienced, so he doesn't really know how to offer advice on the execution of shots, I'm the one that has to think of that. We have had conversations about shot ideas before but its been too infrequent and I can never seem to get a hold...

Yes, well I'm struggling with the way im working now, its just too much to keep track of. I wouldn't mind option 2 but its about finding a DP that I trust to do a good job and the current DP certainly isn't that. Thanks for your reply!

Hi folks I'm in a sticky situation. My current project is up in flames and one of the main causes is me and my DP's relationship. He came to me two days before the first shoot and told me he hasnt been happy with his level of creative control and as a result he doesn't care about the film, and...

those props are amazing! Awesome practical effects, i'd love to know how you went about making each one

Thanks, it still won't budge so I think the mount is broke but I've realised I can still charge the battery while its on the mount, so thatll have to do for now!

Usually a nice meal and romcom is enough to get a battery off, but this one won't budge. Am I being stupid? Its a Pro x powerbase 70 and I've put it on my camtree LED 600 but now I can't get it off. I made a video to show a bit more clearly, there seems to be a little lever at the bottom but its...

Okay sweet! Yeah I think I've just been staring at it for too long, thanks for the help anyway, will come in handy for the rest of the shoot Ps I love lamp too

Okay so ignore the weird footage, skip to 0:23 seconds in and see what you think. It hasn't come up in the youtube video as much as when I play it on my computer for some reason, but you can see something weird going in with the eyebrows. The lamp (maybe not a lamp, a light shade?) can be seen...

Okay 2 seconds, I'll get it up on youtube

But I think its the 720p that exacerbates the issue, in 1080p it isn't noticeable at all, and to get 50fps I need to go down to 720p. Does that make sense or am I missing something there?

Okay sweet, thankyou, the two main things that im having trouble with are the lamp in the background (which can easily be got rid of) and my eyebrows! I have quite fuzzy eyebrows, but luckily Im just standing in for the actor for test shoots and he has nice trimmed eyebrows haha have you ever...

Hey folks So I'm shooting a film noir parody on a canon 60d. There's some slow motion shots so I have to go down to 720p to get 50fps. Problem is the aliasing here is atrocious! Is this just the case with the 60d or is there anything I can here? Should I think about renting a different camera...
