    How do I get a short funded? (horror)

    You are not going to get funding for a short. You will have to pay for it yourself unless you have friends/family willing to give you money. Unless you have a proven track record, don't do crowdfunding. Lots of different types of people and projects use and contribute to crowdfunding. Little...

    Fighting in suits?

    Get a tailored suit. Talk to the tailor (or wardrobe) about what you want and need. You probably want to get several suits to have on hand. Partly because something will probably rip or tear. Mostly though because actors sweat and get icky. You will need to switch out suits so one or more can be...

    Who says it has to be MOTION picture?

    The Ken Burns documentaries come to mind when thinking of video produced of mostly still photos. Also the videos people are making with vine. Hammerstone's video reminds me of a cross between a powerpoint presentation and the musical slide shows they have at funerals. Not saying that is bad...

    Final Cut Pro X or Adobe CS 5.5 Production Premium?

    If you are only going to edit video then I would recommend Final cut. IF you are going to need to do anything with photshop, after effects, or any of the other programs that come with Adobe Production Premium, I'd go for the package.

    archived-videos Pitch/Teaser: The Kohlman Files

    The trailer is done well, but it lacks a Lovecarftian feel. The music is too upbeat and the mythos touches were cute, but did not seem to be so much horror as kinda cheesy. Changing the music would help a lot to convey more of a horror suspense tone. I would also look more at playing with the...

    archived-videos Shoot Out

    I think I liked the previous short better. This felt a little long and repetitive. The ground hits around the 30 second mark looked a little fake and didn't seem to time with the shots, or it felt like too many shots The highlights on the ground around the 40 second looked fake. You should...

    Directing Actors

    Besides classes, look at developing your communication and interpersonal skills. Learning how to work with different personality types will go along way as different people behave differently. I'd also highly recommend doing a read through or ten with the cast before shooting.
