So I was listening to the Rode wireless lavs and comparing with the G3. The G3 has way better sound (£300 vs £600) but I wanted to ask if it was the mic or data transmission issue. Specifically, if I buy the Rode gear and later on down the line upgrade the mics, will this make a significant...

Hi Mark What got you into sound? What do you like to do? (I'm also a Londoner as well).

You're looking at it through the wrong end of the telescope. It's not about making money from the Chinese market, rather it's about getting money out of China. Imagine a Chinese billionaire. They aren't allowed to travel on vacation without informing the Chinese state six months in advance...

Nice job for a first time. I hit the boredom mark at 1:37, but a lot of that was down to an incredibly bland song that I was forgetting while listening to...

The Crystal Skull. It was absolutely terrible. Bridge of Spies etc... had merit and there are plenty of people I know who really enjoyed it but Crystal was the worst Spielberg movie I've seen. Opinion isn't that he's old - just look at Eastwood's movies which are outstanding. I think he's...

Gracias It closes down a series of options.

The issues for film makers are: 1. No more access to the EU film fund. This is big for anyone trying to tap into this. 2. Inward investment is holding off because of currency fluctuations, tax implications and who knows what will happen to the free movement of money. So trying to get your...

You don't have permission so don't use it. Simple.

Hey, Gringo, I'm happy to have a little look in the month of May (after May 8th) if you'd like. I'm too invested in my own projects to give it a serious re-write but if it's a stage play, it'll be pretty easy to turn into something else. Incidentally, I'm a Chinese dude in the UK (mum was...

One of my favourite movies of all time is really one room - 12 Angry Men. Just genius and because it's so good, I can't take my eyes off it. If the story's good, the rest will follow. Bonne chance.

So goodbye EU, it was nice knowing you. We had a good time together but now the divorce lawyers are out in force and we'll have to fight over the kids. As one of the first ever Erasmus students (top scholarship program for Europeans who speak a couple or more languages) and someone who always...

A copy is in the post.

Thanks! Will be a struggling artist... If you see a middle-aged, Chinese looking, artist type begging for money on the streets, you'll know it all went very wrong...

Tell you soon...

How ya doin? I took the plunge and can call myself a full-time film maker. Must be insane! What are you up to?

I'm Chinese so can make my own noodles... Makes Ramen noodles look expensive. Just did a pitch today at a music marketing company for some work. Also looks like I'm going to win a very small amount of corporate work as well...

Plan is to spin up three different areas of film making. 18 months before starting to make any kind of consistent revenue stream. Simultaneously, will attempt not to starve to death. If I die of hunger, that will really ruin my day. Don't think 'congratulations' are in order. Rather, I...

So, am going full-time film making. Will start 8th May. Let's see if I can turn a dream into reality. Wish me luck...

I absolutely agree. It is a cheap shoot.

Thanks, that would be useful. I genuinely don't understand because there seems to be some kind of weird 'loop.' For example, there is a film fund in the EU which investors put money into purely for tax breaks. i.e. if the movie actually makes money, it's not only a surprise but not factored...
