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...

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.

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...

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 -...

Haha, i've heard this recording before. I wonder if that woman was just trolling?

The scariest part of that is he keeps multiplying!

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...

I'd love to see a There will be blood-style ass-whoopin' on these parasi... patent trolls.

Haha, 1:11 for me. It's the classic 'Home Alone' face.

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).

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.

The Apu trilogy is great in my view. Beautiful B&W photography. Despite their technically lenthy runtimes. I didn't even notice while watching. They flew by for me. If i'm remembering correctly, these films were almost lost forever. I don't remember where I saw it, but there's a restoration...

So it could be an episode of Supernatural or Charmed on TV or a big budget movie, and all of these shows keep recycling the same sound effects. I get using certain sounds such as audio sweeteners and thuds and such things for fight scenes and sound layering. Those tend to take a reasonable...

Hah, I did the same thing. That's one of the last big series I watched. It is like one big movie. I found the complete series box set in mint condition at a thrift store at the time for only $6.00 and it was money well spent! Nate: you sir are hilarious in some of the thngs you say. Practically...

I'm not much a fan of westerns. Clint Eastwood I like though. War movies tend to be propaganda over accuracy. The problem is today's characters seem hollow. There's very little to no character development or layers. They're just.. there. This film here for example...

I'm generally not an advocate for remakes. Most I feel are unwarranted. But yes, one of the reasons for a remake is to make it modern. But older movies used to be more subtle and with subtext. Today's movies/shows are preachy and the story usually takes a backseat to agendas.

Hahaha, yes. I can see in my mind the 'Spitter' venom burning Nedry's face off. I mean i'm not a gorehound, just that it would've seemed organic to the scene.

The good ole' retro-fitted remakes. Take an existing IP and force current social events into it and away we go!

Yeah, that's a great point. No series really seems to grab my attention anymore. If it did, I don't think i'd even notice the runtime.

I think there is no best director, only possibly a pick of best directors for a given project. Give two directors the same or virtually the same project and you'll likely end up with two very different movies. Ex: The Cave vs. The Descent. For all of its technical achievements, the original...
