Yes, professionaly shot digital films have grain added all the time.

If you have a smart phone, there are a number of free sound recording apps. Find a quiet place with no refrigerator, a/c, or screaming penguins in the background and then start making sounds. A lot can be done with the human voice. Grab some wood, metal, bits of junk, etc. and start making...

The main reasons to add grain are for style. You may also add grain to match shots that have grain (film + digital, video + animation, etc.). You may also choose to add grain to prevent banding. If you have large areas of a single color or gradient, banding can be an issue. Especially when...

Welcome and good job. Others have pointed out the major weak points. The one thing that bugged me was the analog static on a digital TV. That took me out of the story rather quickly.

If not true Foley, then at least budget in some pre-made sound effects to sweeten the audio. Not every film needs it, but most could benifit from it.

Like cam said, ask a lawyer. It is the safest option. You could greek the mask if you can't legally use it as is.

There were some fun shots in there. I'm sure the kids in it will enjoy it.

Welcome aboard!

Mix 3 parts glycerin to 1 part water. Put in a spray bottle. Spritz the actor. You may want to adjust the ratio of glycerin to water. You may also want to try lightly rubbing the actor with baby oil, then using a spray bottle of water. This is best for when they are to look wet and sweaty. Do...

Good info on that site. Thanks for sharing.

Sine this is in the post prod section, I'll assume the video has already been shot. Since you can't find any photos that work you will have have to make something. If you go the physical route, get a clear piece of plastic or glass. Lay it on a black cloth or black paper. Please be careful and...

Good job. The song was good. The video was entertaining.

I was talking about the film community here in Vermont (and to a lesser extend New England as a whole).

Congrats on getting accepted. This is the first I have heard of this. Then again the film community here seems rather fractured and non-communicative. Perhaps I'll have to keep this in mind for next year.

I've been giving this some thought, and I've come to the conclusion that if the movie fails it is Kevin Smith's fault.

You may want to look at taking buisness and management classes. The skills are useful in many professions and most of directing is managing people and other resources.

As a review show they are within fair use, and most studios like it when people are talking about and promoting movie trailers. Most likely they consulted an attorney at some point. It could also be they are simply lucky that none of the studios have chosen to send out erroneous DMCA notices...

If you plan to do anything beyond something for friends and family, contact a copyright lawyer. Even if it is fair use, you may still end up with your movie being taken down or facing a lawsuit. If you are going to use footage like that, first get a script clearance report or have a lawyer...
