    This is the reason I'm pushing you on this. You'll always end up hitting a wall where the limit is your abilities and creativity... but there's another part of it. Most editors fall victim to being too familiar to the material. Sometimes you need to put it away in a draw for a peroid of time...

    editing (editing) Feedback Requested

    One of the best way to determine that is to get a fresh set of eyes and ask. Remember, in the edit, there's always more than one way to tell your story. The script is only a blueprint to what was intended on being shot. The limitations are only in your ability, imagination and determination. I...

    I watched the whole way through, but if I was watching for personal enjoyment, I probably would have turned it off after 30 to 60 seconds. Yeah, Breaking Bad was a fun watch. I love heist films. Crime Dramas, not as much. My opinion, I don't think the story will hold for that long. It needs...

    I don't want to sound mean, but you don't wanna know ;( Guess it's not my kind of film. It all depends on what you're trying to achieve with this film. On my second run as a director, I felt like the script wasn't up to scratch but others convinced me it was ready to shoot. I didn't have the...

    >'Mac book air 7' but I'm confused as to weather its worth while as some sites are suggest it for video editing while others say its underpowered so no good. Even the less than serious editors have been moving away from Macs for years. Unless you're editing projects that require no grunt...

    CovidTalk

    Me personally, after having a government contract cancelled, at home waiting nervously to whether I get to claim unemployment benefits. Money will run out soon if it doesn't come through. Using the spare time to try to program my first computer game, but it's tough to get my head in the game...

    There is that. How about I correct it to, "USA overtook China in reported infections today" ;)

    Unemployed since Monday, so the house is getting cleaned, finally. Been taking a peek at the infected numbers in the US. You're going to pass China soon. That's a scary thought.

    film-school Building a solid film-making meetup for Learning

    Right now? Lots of hand sanitiser. But in all seriousness, the best way I found to learn how to make films is to actually make films. Learn from the mistakes and improve over time. What's needed. Camera, lights, sound, computer for editing.

    pre-production Problem - My own Development Hell - UK LGBT Drama Film

    You want to shoot a film, then shoot a film. Regardless of whether it's boring, tedious, or just plain hard work, you need to do what it takes to shoot your film.

    software Davinci Resolve

    One of those choices. It all depends on the specs of your PC. You basically said, I've got a car. 4 cylinders. Will it be good enough? So how about you describe the specs of the computer and what you will be doing with it and you might get a chance of a reasonably accurate answer. Yep, it'll...

    I am happy to be here. Really thought FORUMS went out with blockbuster and pay phones.

    They did. I'm replying from my local Blockbuster. The lights have been out for a while now. It's dark and scary.

    Upfront payment vs percentage of film proceeds

    >>I have a day job, and I use my personal cash from that job to fund my films. He's the perspective point: Would you do your job if you weren't getting paid? I don't know about you, but I know I wouldn't. It's one of the problems with this site. It has both amateurs and professionals answering...

    Previous Crew Member Causing Issues

    If you really thought he'd turn up at a shoot, at most I'd attach a line or two to the next call sheet with a friendly warning about Bill. Note to you: Stop letting him live rent free in your head. Let you actual image speak for itself. Don't worry about what others say/do. It'll drive you...

    >>How is not a tech play? Or what is your vision of a tech play? >>Its both, a new distribution play that leverages technology. The model is like Airbnb in how we don't use theater, and have created a gig-economy for film screenings. Usually when the founder says its a distribution play...

    I wish you luck in your endeavours. I was hoping it would be a tech play. The number of people I know who have gone down the distribution route and gone broke is too long for me to care to remember. Everytime I see something that is trying to be too good to be believed, it usually is. From...
