So are yall sharing these links on facebook, emails and other things like that? And are these just "campaigns" to recieve money for films? or are yall looking for exposure or something else? I'd just like to help and don't know exactly what I'm trying to share or where to share it. ps I'm on my...

I feel like this may be a newbie question, so I'm posting this here. I have searched youtube, vimeo, and google looking for good websites to watch short films, film festival shorts, etc. I can't seem to find any good websites. I want to see popular shorts and poorly made shorts. If anyone can...

no, I will be shooting in little rock, ar. I'm trying to keep the cast small as I can without it hurting the movie. Being that it's my first short I will probably ennlist my friends to do most the acting. I'm not confident enough to ask for ameatur actors.

I will be borrowing a friends T3i for multiple angles, and I will upgrade my equipment the next time I deploy. The rode videomic is just somewhere to start. This is not my first time syncing. The first videos I have ever made were music videos and I had to sync the music with the actors lips...

Thanks man. That def helps me. I already have the work lights on a stand too!

I agree with the Canon T2i purchase and I also own one. They are cheaper used now that the T3i is out. The only major difference between the T2i and T3i is the T3i has a movable flip screen and slightly better specs. I actually would prefer the T2i because the screen doesn't flip which makes...

I'm out of Little Rock AFB. What do you mean PEPS? Like more people? lol!

Make sure you check craigslist.com and local pawn shops, etc. If you're looking for cheap, older cameras that will be your best bet.

I was planning on shooting some test footage, but a 1 minute short sounds like a great idea. I'm just nervous about lighting. I'd like to have something basic to start with other than the sun or household lights.

I plan on moving to LA, but it's defiantly a tough move. I am in the military and have the GI Bill to help me pay for school. I'd get more experience and movies under your belt and have more to offer when you do decide to move.

Where are you at in NC? I went to high school in Elizabeth City and College in Winston-Salem. I plan on going to LA Film School in Los Angeles when I get out of the military. You need to find the schools within your budget and email admissions and see what your GPA needs to be. And you don't...

An older article on this website provoked me to start this thread. It was 10 essential pieces of equipment for first film. I am making a 10 minute narrative short film. I have done a decent amount of research, and here's what I have so far: Canon T2i 50mm 1.8, 28mm 2.8, and 2 other zoom lenses...

I had a question, your saying this is your first film and you got a budget just under 10g? and crackerfunk said his first was at 5g? Are yall in film school and someone is fronting this money? It just seems like a lot of money to me unless yall were experienced filmmakers. I'm assuming yall have...

Thanks, I already plan on getting a boom pole. I saw a DIY article specifically for the rode mic. It's sounding like I'll be trying 24bit/48khz. Thanks for explaining bit rate. I'm slowly understanding that stuff more and more. Also, I'm realizing that if I'm using my rode for dialog, can that...

I am excited to say I have written my script and will be shooting my first short film when I get home from this deployment in Arkansas. I'll be shooting on my Canon T2i, recording sound on a rode videomic connected to a Zoom H4n, I built a rig with supplies from Home Depot with help from...
