    Save Point Chapter 1 Previs reel

    Nice video. It's funny how to refer to this as a "throwaway reel". 😆 You are very talented. I could never create something like this, although I wish I could. The jewel, face in the smoke, and what appears to be a multi-limbed person are the stand-out shots for me.

    camera-dept MTS to MP4 converter and portable camcorder monitor questions

    If you are wanting your videos in a different format so your video editing program will recognize it, conversion is unnecessary and will likely introduce quality loss unless you use something really involved and space-consuming such as avisynth. You only need to re-wrap your file(s). It is 100%...

    Characters with the same name

    Well, I mean - it could work. It's worked before! 😆 Edit: For a second language, it's good, but still a bit "Engrish" as if it were put through google translate. I can only speak one human language, so it's better that I can do. Why are the characters in the script trying to bork each other's...

    video Importing Mini DV video from older Canon to PC

    There are only two USB devices that I know of that will legitimately capture tapes via firewire, and both are from the same company. These are premium devices, unlike those cheap/scam "usb to firewire" cables. Avoid those. Anyway, device one is called "Pinnacle Studio Moviebox Ultimate". It...

    misc Diopic lens accessory

    Glad to help. That's one thing I forgot to mention. Autofocus tends to have trouble with achromats. https://www.amazon.com/Opteka-Achromatic-Diopter-Close-Up-Digital/dp/B000GBCYF2?th=1 One of the reviews here explains a bit: "Despite the bad reviews, I'm very pleased with the product. I did...

    AI Layer Test 3

    Nate, this is really cool what you are doing! But those AI sitcom videos.. they're terrifying. Like seeing past the cosmos in an H.P. Lovecraft story or an episode of Tales from the darkside.

    Any advice on how to get started for film??

    Hello Ashton, welcome to the forum! Do you have any gear? A camera? If so, what kind? I recommend creating some separate topics here, such as 'What camera should I buy?' 'How do I get started with directing my first video?' or 'How do I compose a shot?' Whatever things you are curious about...

    misc Diopic lens accessory

    Hey, I think we're all learning about something, always! Film school isn't everything; many people i've spoken with personally or read posts online seem to be somwhat brain-washed now. I mean they will say things like 'You can't do that because my teacher said it's against the "rules". Rules -...

    locations Camera/gear mishaps, disasters and horror stories

    So during a recent outside shoot, it was really windy outside and I was trying to set up everything up by mysyself. Long story short, my camera, set up on a tripod, fell over, cracking the screen (but still technically 'viewable') and damaging the mode dial of the camera. Now it stops in middle...

    Does anyone know of a good forum/community to sell video gaming items?

    Just wondering if anyone here knows of any good, forums that they personally use (not ebay/amazon etc). Have tons of video game stuff, rare/mint games just sitting in storage for 10+ years. The site I was a member of has been closed so now i'm looking around the net for a new one(s).

    foley Abuse of stock sound effects hurting a project's identity(?)

    That's a really selfish and awful thing to do. First, profit off of others' work. Then, disregard people's well being that have unwittingly been pulled into their copyright infringement. This seems to happen a lot with stock imagery and perhaps videos also, unfortunately.
