I'd say After Effects as well. There are so many options available to add to the overall text. Video Copilot and various other websites have interesting tutorials on how to make awesome looking titles and/or effects to add to them. C.

IGN made an April Fool's Day prank trailer for a Legend of Zelda film and everyone got their panties in a bunch. To be honest, the film did look amazing though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBCzkz3gHb8

I still find it incredible that everyone prefers the GH2 over markii or markiii.

So how would the XF100 (at around $2,000-$2,500) stack up against building a DSLR kit and rig, say with a 5dmkii or GH2/3 and lenses + rig + mic + extra goodies? I'm sure a DSLR plus all of that would add up to at least $2,500 fairly quickly?

Link seems to be broken?

I see a lot of talk about the Panasonic GH series and now the G series. Does the 5D Mark II still keep up it's reputation, even compared to the G series?

So pretty much nobody recommends these type of cameras anymore? Pros of DSLRs: Depth of field is excellent with most lenses (50/1.8-2.8, 35/1.8-2.8, 21mm/f4?) Interchangeable lenses, obviously Higher bit-rate, maybe What are some pros of the prosumer camcorders, like the one shown above?

Okay, so I've got the GH2 and XF100 on my mind... any other suggestions?

Touché.

I agree with you. I'm on both sides of the argument. I'm 19 years old and have been around the music of today that was featured in the film, and I love the old classics, especially from the 20's and 30's. I would have loved to see more music from that era than this one in the film. It would...

Thanks for all the input guys, seems like most of the consensus is for DSLRs. Do a lot of DSLRs have inputs for actual microphones? Because I really want to learn about having good sound and professional audio, and it seems like prosumer camcorders do that better. I've operated DSLRs before, but...

Simply put: Chris Hadfield is one amazing dude.

I won't get into my personal opinion of the movie as of now, but I just want to offer some food for thought for people who are arguing or bashing the choice of music in The Great Gatsby, which was mostly hip-hop and upbeat rap music, I guess you could say. In F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel...

Keep a notebook with you. Not a laptop, a notebook. Write down short ideas and premises for the film or script you want to write. Write short character descriptions, or plot ideas. Just get a general idea of what you're thinking about on paper. Then, unless you feel extremely motivated, I say...

Amazing story, nonetheless. It's truly incredible how one person's idea can reach such lengths and be enjoyed by so many people, and in turn be picked up for something as big as a feature film. When it only started out as an idea... Congratulations to the short filmmaker and his...
