    Vimeo Passwords Keep Breaking - Ruining My Festival Submissions

    They're sneaky. It's fine then all of a sudden, you're a victim of the mighty PEBCAK.

    URGENT!! I need contract advice!!!

    Personally, I think you're lucky he's still talking to you. If I were him/her, I would have moved on to a less painful supplier. From what I see, it looks like they're covering their bases. Sketchy companies/people tend not to do that. Have there been any red flags that give you the impression...

    premire Pro Nvidia CUDA problems

    Are you using any effects that are specifically GPU Enabled? While the list is growing, most effects don't use the GPU. So to point you in the right direction would require me to point you in the direction to reprogram the Adobe software.

    Sound kit: Is there any point in...

    +1 for MixPre-6. SD devices are built like a truck. Zoom devices are made of crayons. Think long term. Think of the money you'll save in breakages. Also, an extra device in the chain is an extra point of potential failure. Also consider the MixPre-10T... It may be overkill now, but thinking a...

    Monetizing short film

    It's possible but unlikely. Here is of the most profitable short that I know about: Doctor Horrible Sing Along - 3 x 14min shorts. Joss Whedon funded the project himself (at just over $200,000) ...during an interview with Forbes that "with the movie and the soundtrack and everything we’ve...

    Silent Film era speeds/frame rates/etc

    That's unfortunate. The footage you showed looked like it was speed ramped to be a little faster than reality anyway. Good luck with your test shoot. You can ruin the illusion of motion if you do it wrong. The eye is a fickle instrument. While it might not be able to tell what exactly is...

    Silent Film era speeds/frame rates/etc

    Excellent. I'm going to suggest you show an example of what you're trying to achieve. No point in asking for a map of where you're going, if you cannot sufficiently describe the destination. I also like the simplest solution. I'll take a stab at suggesting if you're trying to duplicate old...

    Gimbals allowed in a music festival?

    I ran a music festival for work earlier this year. I wouldn't have minded so long as it didn't interfere. Another festival director may have a different opinion.

    Are shorts submitted to festivals considered as non-commercial products?

    They always are until they aren't. It happened to a production I was involved with once. The band signed with a label and everything went pear shaped for the producer.

    Help with Producer memo deal

    It's virtually impossible to tell with this little information, which is sometimes typical of deal memos. There wouldn't perhaps be a definitions appendix? Streaming can come under new media. It's not necessarily included as ancillary. As much as I've done some contract law a side function of...

    Has anyone run an indiegogo campaign for festival finance?

    I thought I was clear. I didn't expect you'd need it spelled out. Your campaign needs a compelling reason, from the perspective of potential donators, for strangers to help you. In other words, you can slap together a campaign like yours when you're asking your family and friends for money...

    Has anyone run an indiegogo campaign for festival finance?

    It doesn't. It has issues, but most of all, there is no compelling reason for strangers to help you on your endeavors.

    editing 60fps to 24fps in editing

    It depends on what you need. It could. Could be anything. It could be footage unsuitable for the task, it could be incorrect use of tools, it could be incorrect choice of tools. Once you figure out what works for your needs, you continue to do it.

    pitching to a producer.How is it done?

    Most aspiring writers. For the majority or writers out there, if you're good, you'll know. The issue is a lot of bad writers also think they're good. If your material is bad, if you put additional conditions/demands on your script, you may blow any chance for the relationship to bloom. Wow...
