Your experience doesn´t change the fact that ANY of the people that i know is MUCH, MUCH more prompt to watch a 5 minute short than a 90 minute indie made with a 3.000 dollar budget by an unknown guy. That´s a fact in my world. Maybe not in yours. I´m not gonna dispute that. Everyone that i...

I don´t think i´ve ever said that. I said i´ve never watched a feature from a member of this forum. At least that i know of. And if you think that´s not possible to spot HORRIBLE acting from a trailer, i disagree with you. To me, watching a movie should not be painful, no matter what anyone...

You´re saying i closed myself from all amateur features. You´re saying that. I simply said most of the trailers that i watch for amateur features simply have HORRIBLE acting. I don´t have 24 hours a day to watch movies, so i have to be a little selective. Now i´m gonna watch a movie. I can...

I´ve watched lots of them. Very few stand out, to be honest. Though i enjoyed a lot the one about the Army with the head removal. Can´t remember the name. Maybe you can. The last two movies i´ve recomended to my friends were 3 AM and Suckablood. Can´t remember if i came across them in this...

And does he have intelligence? How can a famous guy, with money, who works in Hollywood, make something like this? Didn´t he think "oh, i better not do this, otherwise people will notice and i´m cooked"? If he didn´t think about this, he is maybe retarded. And as you said, he´s got money. How...

It´s not about having X Youtube videos. It´s about having people actually noticing my work. That´s the most important thing in the beginning. To make money is cool, but also a little bit delusional at this stage. Maybe i´m just a realistic guy. I don´t know. A while ago a guy in my country...

Thank you. I´m actually happy with the GF3. It shoots Full HD and has pretty decent image. Plus, it´s small. But i think it suffers a little bit in low light situations. With good lighting i think it looks almost as good as a 550 D, if not as good, but you really see the difference with low...

Sure. They don´t go out of their way to search for short films. But if they come across one in a particular website, or if someone suggests one to them, they´ll watch it. A couple of days ago i showed all my friends the short "Suckablood" and they all loved it. I can honestly tell you that every...

It´s not even so much the money you can make with it. I know almost nobody makes money out of short films. But at least they can get people to know their work easier than with feature films. If i make a 5 minute short, and if it´s good, there´s a chance thousands and thousands will see it. If i...

Will i notice any difference at all in terms of video quality? All three shoot in full HD, but in the end is there any significant difference between them? I´m talking only about video.

Cool. Thanks.

Hello everybody I´ve seen a lot of amateurs making feature films. By amateurs i mean independent enthusiasts who don´t really make a living out of filmmaking. Some of them even invest a good amount of money in their projects, wich 99% of the time have everything to fail. Now, my question is...

Oh, and btw, i didn´t start arguing with anybody. Somebody actually started arguing with me, calling BS to what i said. You really should pay more attention.

I asked for opinions on LOW BUDGET cameras for starters. I didn´t ask for opinions on audio. And i didn´t ask for someone to basically say that i´m not telling the truth when i say, considering the budget and the circumstances, the camera fits my needs and produces a decent sound. But, of...
