    Ever take a break from Filmmaking?

    That depends. It's different depending on who you are and what you want to do. Taking a break has consequences. You can lose your connections and momentum and you can become less relevent. A break can help with renewed motivation. It can also help you step back and get a perspective. It's...

    Maybe they thought I was in a similar situation to they were. I can understand that thinking. They were always struggling to get gigs. They were also struggling to get their projects done. So maybe you're right. Maybe they weren't aware of the sunken cost fallacy. Maybe they thought I'd...

    I hear you. Our premiere is very protective with her border controls and lockdown at a drop of a hat. We had an outbreak here, nothing major compared to what I'm hearing from around the world, about 100 people. They currently believe it's from 3 border jumpers who were on a crime spree in a...

    Reminds me of many 48 hour projects I got involved with. I've always been liberal in getting involved with 48 hour projects. It's sometimes a nightmare but you figure out how to get it done as best you can. Outside the time issues, I always find there's no pressure. If it sucks, it people don't...

    If I remember right, I had recently come off a directing gig that had turned into a post production nightmare. During pre production, I had a feeling it wasn't ready to move into production but it was only my second or third gig in the directing chair, so I wasn't sure my gut instinct was tuned...

    There was this one project. Early on when I was directing, the producer who gave me my first directing break asked me to look at a script and see if I was interested in directing it. It was one of those "This is my story, I want to tell" I read it and passed on the project and wished her welll...

    software Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro ??

    That'd get an unhelpful answer. It depends. There's not enough information to give anything more than a wild guess.

    software Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro ??

    As a professional editor.. I can tell you without a doubt, Yes, those are two of the options. They're both decent options. So are other packages. There is no such thing as the best editing software.

    Has anyone done an online course about filmmaking that was good?

    That inside the edit it a very good course, even if you're not into documentary editing. The hollywood camera work courses are top rate... though, if you think inside the edit is slow, you ain't seen nothing yet. It'll depend on what you're trying to learn. For instance, Stacey Parks had a lot...

    OMG. How did I miss that? It's not even a good website. I had to type in my credit card 4 times!

    link What you can buy for video editing?

    Lots. But the answer you're looking for is license. Next time, try wording them in a way they make more sense as to what you're trying to ask. When you're asking about soft, it sounds like the solution you need is some viagra.

    editing My movie in collab with a nature photographer — asking for editing feedback

    I guess it's a lesson to learn. Most audiences don't get subtle. While it's not what you want to do in the high end, when learning to edit, be about as subtle as a sledge-hammer. Once you learn the art of getting the story across, learn how far you can push suggestion and implied storytelling...

    editing My movie in collab with a nature photographer — asking for editing feedback

    It's going to sound harsh.... but.... It's not really an edit. It's more like a slideshow. A library of videos that doesn't matter what order they come in. I've done these kinds of things for clients before. About as intellectually stimulating as a peanut. No story. No nothing. Knock off a bunch...

    I've edited 4k on lesser specs and had no issues... I've also edited 4k on way better specs and had nothing but lag. What you're editing has as much to do with editing performance as the resolution. In other words, resolution is just one parameter in the equation. I don't know anything about...
