    archived-videos Doey Rock - Doe's Diner - MUSIC VIDEO

    I didn't like the song either, and that's what made it more uninteresting then it is. It did look nice, some nice shots, some were a little off, but for the most part they were good. Not sure why you had a title and a credit at the begining... The pace was a bit slow for me also. AS long as...

    archived-videos BABE WITH A SWORD - Feature HORROR Film!

    I thought it looked pretty nice, along with some good sound, but I had 1 problem. The editing/timming starting at :26 is just very odd. It's people getting captured, but it's very slow, And i;m not sure if it's shot that way, or if the editing makes it out that way.

    Taking It To The Next Step

    I agree with you Dir, but If you are going to make a bunch of shorts for practice, then buy a $300 camera, cause it will make no difference if it's shot on a $300 or $3,000 camera. It all depends on the person and situation.

    archived-videos FINDING BUSTER BROWN --a new webseries.

    It's not that the scenes hold to long, or the shot holds too long. It's that what's being said and what's being shown isn't visual/audiably appealing enough to hold most peoples attention. Although I thought the scene of the cop waking up at the begining looked nice, it held so long with...

    archived-videos The Mix-In Trailer 2!

    I liked the 2nd trailer much more then the first, save the title sequences. THe first trialers titles were much better quality, as to the second one looks like just some FCP text boxes were thrown in. I think the film looks great, good casting, sound, some nice lighting, etc. Theres just one...

    lighting cameraman

    I think you are right Michael. I know that union sets cant touch other departments equipment.(The Gaffer cant touch the camera, the director cant touch the lights, etc) There's even a word for it, I think its Gratuity. I'm not sure if that applys to a person being both positions, and if its...

    Computer Requirements for Edtiting HD?

    HDV is not that big of a file compared to HD 720p and 1080p. You dont need an HD editing system at all for HDV, because its technically HD compressed into SD. Your PC is very low in specs, and for about 400-$500 you can get something that will edit smooth, and is well worth it. (its hard to...

    archived-videos Discasting

    It was better. Better camera work, decent graphics, wasn't that messy. I say good job. The actors speaking is still bad. Theres no emotion and some of it is hard to understand. It wasnt very interesting to me, was more like an informative doc then anything. Which isnt bad, just not too...

    Redrock M2 Encore

    Yes. You'll need to buy a lens mount ring adapter, if im not mistaken; which will be around $100 or so. (I didn't check the website, its just an estimate from what Letus prices are) The adapter ring lets you mount differnt types of lenses; I.E Canon, Nikon, PL, etc. Then you need to buy 35mm...

    archived-videos The Gatehouse

    I wouldn't say your near ready to make a feature, theres still a lot of learning to do. The story wasn't anything special, just a haunted house with a weird figure. Sorry if i'm bursting your bubble.
