Pretty sure I ate at that Denny's about a week ago.... :cheers:

You can certainly pay day rates for some crew that will only be needed on a day-rate type basis. To be completely honest, it's slightly concerning that you appear to be considering such integral roles as MUA and Production Design to be only needed for one setup. I can certainly see how you...

Love to! Haha Ultimately if I’m committing to a project and putting my name on it, I want it to be as good as it can be. Of course, there are limitations - and if I’m caught up on other projects and physically can’t commit to extra pre- time, then it becomes harder but ultimately the job of a...

I’m not sure if this is your intention, but my reading was you would use the footage without permission, then send the film in and hope they grant permission to use it. Don’t use the footage without permission. Make the request up-front and see what the outcome is. If you can’t use it, you’re...

I’ve just wrapped on a short series for a streaming service so I can give you an idea on the prep we did for that. The Director initially floated the idea with me over a year ago, but the very first actual production meeting was in November. We shot through April/May. Then post through June (of...

C Can’t wait! Gotta be better than a Facebook group 🙃

720p is a resolution, not a 'quality'. Resolution has no real determining factor on the 'quality' of what you're shooting. Specs are important to keep note of, but ultimately how good (or bad) something looks depends entirely on what you put in front of the camera

Looks great! We don’t get the luxury of the StaffMeUp type sites down here 😕

Disney could never make another Star Wars film and they’d still profit off the IP for decades... Don’t forget the expansion possibilities - Disney Channel shows, Hulu original series’, broadway musicals... 😏

To be fair, it’s not like Disney hasn’t already made its money back and then some... Ultimately, Last Jedi and Rogue One both grossed over $1bn worldwide. ‘Solo’ grossed a more ‘disappointing’ ~$400mn. It’s easy to get caught up in nostalgia in my opinion. The Star Wars universe is a new...

‘Rules’ can quite easily be bent or even broken when it comes to screenwriting if the writing itself is good enough. That said, the 'rules' were developed in the first place for good reason. In a lot of your examples, I personally would say 'it depends' - on how you're writing or have written...

As for your other questions: All of the things you’ve mentioned are what separates the two cameras. The only thing left, really, is sensor size. You’re asking ‘which sensor size do you prefer’ and the answer, as it often is, is ‘it depends’. Why are you asking the question? What do you want to...

Sort of. Sensor size only really affects depth of field due to the need to use different lenses. The larger a sensor is, the longer lens you need to use to match field of view. Consider a 25mm lens on a standard S35 camera. To get the same FOV on S16, you'd need a lens ~12.5mm. On 65mm film, or...

The Sony sensor is double the size of the Panasonic, which means that not only is there a lot more light the sensor can capture, but you will be able to get significantly wider significantly easier. But both are extremely capable of giving you a great image.

Both. But also neither. All things bring equal, colour and bit depth will be of benefit however in this particular case all things aren’t equal. I’d go with the most appropriate for the project. Are you going to be shooting in low light situations? You’ll get more mileage from the Sony. Do you...

Sorry to hear about your review situation. As for your script I don’t think it affects it at all. Your script will be judged on the quality of it, not the quality of the book. You could write a fantastic script based on a terrible book, or a terrible script based on a great book. If you’re...

Yeah the balcony is still the same location so doesnt need a new header

I also, personally, cannot understand how this works. Every job I've ever worked has had scheduled minimum 45-minute lunch breaks, and often a 15-minute afternoon tea break. Sometimes I'm not hungry enough to eat, but the break-time is appreciated. There are certainly plenty of roles on set...

Many come to this point by working for far too many people who expect them to work long hours across multiple days for atrocious money and expect them to enjoy it because it’s ‘art’ and one must ‘suffer’ sometimes in creating said ‘art’. And half the time, said ‘art’ is some newbie...

You need to let the reader know what is happening visually, so that it can be shot in that way. I think sometimes when we write we get caught up in writing for writing’s sake and forget in part that what we’re writing is a blueprint to what gets shot. So writing ‘Bob is scared’ or ‘Bob looks...
