Thanks for all the replies so far! I've had quite a few people contact me already. I've inadvertently turned it into a competition, hahaha. Because I'm asking anyone who is interested if they are willing to score a short clip as a sample of what they can do. So whoever's I like the best or feel...

Originally, I was only using 60fps for slow motion, yes. But I wanted to keep my options open in terms of what I would want to turn into slow motion, so I just kept it like that all the time (obviously not knowing the consequences). Also it just saved time because then I wouldn't need to keep...

Yep. That was one of the first things I learned from my other short, 'Home', and was one of the biggest reasons that I definitely wanted someone to compose music specifically for this new short film. Since I was using pre-made music, I was forced to make decisions in editing that I normally...

Yeah, I definitely should have looked into the framerate issue more deeply before starting. But I must just not have enough experience, because I can't really see the ghosting you guys are talking about?... The font looked cool to me at first, and I felt like it fit the music and style, but...

What exactly made it fall apart at the 30 second mark? Just dragging on too long or what? Also, normally I would have added different voice-over lines to more flesh out the story and character, but the lines still need to be recorded by my actor (my brother). He had to leave so he has to record...

Well......in the 'real world' this wouldn't be a very marketable film. Because the only thing I can give away without ruining the story is that there is a man lost in a forest. He doesn't remember who he is or how he got there, and after days and days of searching he hasn't found a way out of...

So, I made this trailer in one night in anticipation of my short film, Shattered Woods. I really love making trailers, but as with most things in moviemaking the outcome can be seen as good or bad depending only on a different viewpoint. I can see many faults in it, but I think it's a decent...

Well, from my small experience with other projects I've realized that using pre-made tracks causes you to make editing decisions to match the music, that otherwise wouldn't be logical ones to make. Right now, I want to make a rough cut with absolutely no music, just to satisfy the visuals and...

In case anyone wants to see my previous work: http://www.youtube.com/user/LuxioShock?feature=mhee And also, I just made this trailer for my short film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV3eAwMTJJc

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I could have not mentioned the pay at all, but I didn't want to dissuade anyone from working on the project. Sounds counter-intuitive, but I think some people who would want to be paid, would assume that since it's a very low budget film there wouldn't be any pay...

Hahaha, I love how this turned into a mini-argument. Anyway, thanks for the replies and attention so far, I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding for Jeff's comment. But yeah, as Nick said, even if you offer to work for free, you have to be good. I'm actually going to be pretty picky for this...

Just finished filming my short film, Shattered Woods, and am starting to put together a rough cut. I need a composer and color grader. Obviously it'd be great if you could work for free, since this is a very low budget movie (about $250 spent so far), but if post-production calls for more money...

Moon Shutter Island The Game The Grey Monty Python and the Holy Grail Anything from Christopher Nolan The Muppets (2011) If you have netflix instant, as for a show, I'd recommend Luther. It's a BBC crime drama, so if you're looking for something dark and serious (with a few lighthearted laughs...

No Script, No Gear, No Problem Yeah.......this one's pretty terrible, hahaha. We didn't have a script, it was basically just an idea and running around making up shots and scenes as we went. My parents were the actors...

Thanks for the replies guys! Looks like I'll be fine then, while I'm here...anyone know about shutter speed for 60fps? I hear it should be 1/125 but others say to put it as high as possible depending on light.

Outputting terms of frame rate? Or like, to youtube, dvd, etc? If all goes well I'd like to submit this to festivals, which will probably require putting it on a dvd. Like I said before the final product will be 24fps. Maybe I don't know what you're asking, haha. I'm still kind of a noob when...

My thoughts exactly. But yeah, I guess it's just testing time.

I guess there's the possibility of downscaling all the 1080p footage to 720p, but I guess my only concern is that 720p is too low quality? But I've seen 720p stuff that looks really good, and a lot of people say it gets a bad rap......I don't know...all I know is I don't have much time to figure...

Getting ready to shoot a short film basically in one day. Just now started wondering about some shots that might be good in slow motion. I have the T3i which shoots 60fps at 720p which I would use for the slo-mo shots, but I was planning on doing the whole film in 1080-24p. Would you see a big...

Can I post an update on here? hahaha My campaign has 5 hours left and we are only $50 away from our goal. I've gotten some really generous last minute contributions (including sarah h on this thread. So, I'd love the help of all the great indietalkers to help pass around and share this campaign...
