Am sorting out pre for a first feature and know stuff will go wrong. I have done lots of stuff but wanted to know: - What are the last things you go through on your checklist before starting to shoot? - If you were to pick just one pitfall, what would it be?

You are literally describing exactly what I feel. This is exactly me. It's an illness but this is word-for-word what I go through every day. I'm shooting a feature next year, will pile in every penny I have and go for it. It's going to be really, really tough but hell, I've been arrested...

Good luck. It's pretty tough and something I'm experiencing at the moment. Good luck!

...or go to the movies or watch Netflix or go to the gym or do anything?

Hi Derek Don't know how you're going to do it but we're going to greenscreen and cheat it. So we're not going to have one, continuous shot, rather we'll focus on the driver / passenger in the front seats, shooting from side to side. Stationary car, couple of people bouncing up and down on it...

Hiya? How much do you pay for local, name talent? I'm about to enter into negotiations so would be interested to know what fees you paid for what level of actor. One actor has around 7 million viewers watching him every week (not bad in a country of 60 million people) and the other has around...

:lol:

Verhoeven's version was genius. Absolutely fantastic and knocks spots off anything else today. Have no idea how he managed to get all his crazy ideas past the producers but I love this movie. Am dreading the new version. Am hoping at best, that it will be just OK.

These figures are completely misleading. I know a couple of numbers (not guesswork, actually know the numbers) and these numbers are achievable but only really if you have a stellar, indie movie.

We have a couple of actors who have played in a couple of big name productions (a couple of Harry Potter movies, a local show which has 7 million viewers etc...) In fact, our cup runneth over as we have a recognisable actor in a global series (ended in 2003) we can't use because there is no...

Go watch it! Incidentally, how do you get a movie onto iTunes and how much does it cost?

I think 2020 is 4k, 709 is HD

Everything is your own. Just do it your way.

I'm Chinese. If you're not a Chinese speaker, contact someone low-level like these guys. Chinese culture is very contact-driven so an introduction is worth its weight in jade: http://homemcr.org/event/chinese-film-forum-uk/ Otherwise, ping these guys in Fragrant Bay. If they talk to you...

They were all different cameras initially when they were available to buy in 2012 (from recollection). They're much closer with external recorders. However, although the FS700 does a good job next to the C500, I think of it like my cat. We might share 97% of our DNA but that 3% really does...

The FS700 and C500 both were released in 2012 with similar specs: 12 stops of dynamic range, 4:2:2 10 bit 4k and eventually 4k RAW via 3G SDI. The Sony is perfectly fine but I have a taste preference for the C500. What I am seeing is a really beautiful colour image through the C500. I'm mega...

I have a GH4 and it does not output 10 bit 4:2:2 4K. It outputs a 10-bit 4:2:2 4k signal with a 4k, 8-bit 4:2:0 picture profile. It is effectively outputting a codec with headroom so the image can be manipulated in post up to 10 bit from 8 bit. This little info is buried in Panasonic's spec...

I have a C500 with the same sensor and am biased towards the Canon line. Reason is a C300 Mk2 is so versatile: You can shoot a movie on it, output RAW if you need to or run 'n' gun documentary style. Canon's colour science is absolutely beautiful as well and I'm in love with the C300 Mk2's...

Really? So what does that have to do with male rape? And besides which, if I showed everything that wasn't offensive or scary, I wouldn't have had my last short played in Toronto or the one before that played in the London Independent Film Fest. I like to push boundaries and saying 'don't do...

Who are you? You're someone who believes I'd just throw in a rape scene because I can't think of anything else just to get a reaction. Thanks, appreciate your faith in my abilities. Nothing to do with this being an essential element in the story.
