    Panasonic HDC-TM700?

    What's it like in low light? Does it have 1/12, 1/6, or 1/3 shutter options? EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZFLFZg1Dng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB6gt_QU3gg

    Panasonic HDC-TM700?

    Those are some lush looking snails. If I ever need anyone to shoot some snails, I will hire that guy in a heartbeat. I never read cam reviews, I just get headaches. I look for test vids on youtube and see if the general buzz is good. I spent 2 months reading cam reviews in 07 when I had 2000...

    archived-videos star wars fan made web series

    Welcome to Indietalk. No one will hassle you here. It's amazing the amount of work that goes into fan films. I thought some shots were a little cheap looking, but others stuck in my mind. You definitely evoked an atmosphere, and I want to see more. If you're in Turkey, with access to great...

    Happy Birthday, Insert Cliche Here!!

    Happy Birthday Just do facial exercises a la Jack Lalanne, eat lots of Mangoes, bathe your face and hair in cold water, use coconut oil from time to time and eat well... you can stay young looking for a long time.

    Who owns the copyright to this verision of Beethovens Ninth?

    Am I stupid? I can't find the owner of this one. Probably one of the more amazing renditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-mvutiDRvQ

    Panasonic HDC-TM700?

    My DVX is bust and I'm looking for an inspiring replacement. This looks good to me: Looks like a rival to the Canon HV20/40 and Vixias. I'd be hard pushed to choose, from what I've seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsrUShfj1T4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOqckhj1BnU&feature=related...

    Thinking about turning down studio distribution deal...

    That's what I was thinking. Stanley Kubrick remains one of the few filmmakers who satisfied the Hollywood box office, the action hungry cinema-goer, and the art crowd. Adrenalin and Brains. It can be done. Does anyone know any other filmmakers who managed this?

    Delta Blues and Piano Ragtime. Any of it PD yet?

    Wikipedia links to Archive.org recordings of BWJ. The plot thickens. http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=creator:%22Blind%20Willie%20Johnson%22 * I've got a feeling that it'll be OK, but I'm not sure yet. Plenty of Leadbelly on Archive.org too. Why isn't everyone using this stuff? It's epic.

    Delta Blues and Piano Ragtime. Any of it PD yet?

    I'm especially interested in Blind Willie Johnson... Robert Johnson, Bill Broonzy and Memphis Minnie are also fine. *** http://www.google.co.id/#hl=id&source=hp&biw=1360&bih=569&q=public+domain+delta+blues&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&fp=1853621f595215f6 * * * Apparently these Robert Johnson songs...

    Delta Blues and Piano Ragtime. Any of it PD yet?

    Praise God I'm satisssssssssssfiiiiiiiiiieeeed... * I think Robert Johnson is still under copyright. Are there any Ragtime or Delta Blues artists who are public domain yet? I could happily soundtrack half my film with this stuff. Well he gave me joy and gladness, for the clouds he rolled...

    editing Simple After Effects 3D buildings

    Not so bad. Better than I expected from 3D. I've been underwhelmed and dissapointed by a lot of the stuff I've seen. The building, standing on it's own in the mindscape, gives it a surreal, mildly post apocalyptic look. The drawing itself is half-decent, but it's the zooms and 'camera' work...

    Two fantastic bits of news and press from Scorpio Film Releasing

    It looks like Boogie Nights meets From Dusk til Dawn. I'm nowhere near an expert, but I can normally tell when someone's shot in digital and then stuck a cheap filter on it. Plenty of that on Youtube. You might not fool the real experts but you got me. Can other, more experienced people tell...

    Are there any good digital B+W features/directors?

    I watched the trailer for Tetro and was kind of dissapointed. I love FFC, but it had a kind of cheap look to it. It just looked like someone shot in digital and slapped a greyscale on it. There was no contrast, grain, or anything visually stimulating. Some of the shots were OK, but it didn't...

    Too many ideas, can't choose one.

    True. You just keep ploughing away. You write hundreds of snippets + songs, record dozens, and release maybe ten. I'd say the percentage of written songs that end up 'keepers' would be way less than half for most songwriters. Yeah. The 'does it work in a kitchen with an acoustic guitar?' test...

    Too many ideas, can't choose one.

    That's a good point. Whatever order you write these things in, the first will be O.K., the second better, the fifth might be awesome. It's about sharpening yr writing chops as much as anything. Would a songwriter sit and agonise over which song to record? No.... you just do it, and expect...

    Two fantastic bits of news and press from Scorpio Film Releasing

    :woohoo::woohoo: I checked out your vids yesterday and there's some quality work there. The cinematography is good too. Nice that some people are still making the effort to shoot film. Do you have Asian subtitled versions of your work? I think it'd do pretty well out here.

    Too many ideas, can't choose one.

    1. What about cramming as many of them as you can into one big script? An episode of Family Guy or the Simpsons has huge amounts of ideas stuffed into 22 minutes. 2. Just get writing... Force yourself to sit down. The initial drafts for Pi the Movie weren't so good, according to Darren...

    What to Buy??

    You could make a good case for sound being 2/3rds of the experience, when you factor in the combined strength of dialogue, music and sound effects. When I first read that quote, I thought it was correct, but exaggerating a little. Now I think "Sound is half the experience" underplays audio's...
