    So, I need to shoot in a convenience store..

    You want distribution, mate, you gotta clear every single label. All of 'em. Can't miss a single one. That's why props dept takes the time to alter every single label of a product on a big set. Every single one. No exception. If I were you, I'd use a long lens. Shallow DOF. Keep all the printed...

    Tony Scott has passed

    Bloody awful. Worst news I saw all month. Guy had the best eye in the biz. Every frame is a bleedin' postcard. RIP, mate.

    Lucky, you can get this info for free. Just call an actual broker, eh? You don't have to pay them to hear the numbers.

    MCU and Tracking Shot vs Trucking Shot

    From work on commercial gigs, my two cents is the OP has it right. An MCU is tighter than a CU. I think everyone is confused by the fact that an MCU does not equal a Medium Close shot, which is a legit shot with the framing that a lot of blokes on this thread seem to be discussing. You lads are...

    At CrackerFunk, I consider Raiders to have one of the best openings in all of cinema, if not the best. I was torn whether to include it on this list, but, tough call, the actual moments where Indy is being chased in the jungle are really brief. I do like your suggestion of the marketplace chase...

    Bravo, Modern Day. That Terminator fight alone makes tv worth watching. And as for the Resident Evil bit, God bless the undeniable power of a tilting garbage bin. I'm buying one online now........ to use in the upcoming armageddon. For an extra $29.99 it comes with Milla Jovovich already trapped...

    Need your feedback on poster!

    Justin, I just wanna cast my vote that your graphic design skills are bloody amazing. The photo's good. The orientation of the text is good. Choice of font and all that, spot on. For people who are recommending a bigger or smaller title or removal of names, I think they may be trying to fix...

    Crap, did I munch the title when I wrote it? It's called different things in different countries. B13. District B13. Etc. But anyway, you saw it? You like it? Isn't bloody great? I actually dig plot as well. "Avatard," hahaha. How come you're not throwing that in the mix? I think there's at...

    JJ Abrams says movie budgets are outrageous.

    I think what JJ was saying was that he alternates project to project, from pricey to low price. Whether or not that all lines up in chronological order on his IMDb page........ doubtful. So unless we're actually in the office rooms at Bad Robot, I don't think we'll ever know how strictly JJ is...

    Agreed. Solid That was my sixth choice. You just can't go wrong with parkour. Ever. Even movies like The King's Speech would have improved with parkour.

    My God, did they really shoot this on a Sony EX1? Very impressive. They took that camera the distance. I'd love to watch the chase you're talking about. Thanks!

    Her scene might be ready for broadcast but that would only mean that it's technically satisfactory. It doesn't mean that it's a fight worth watching. You questioning me on this point makes me think you just watch movies while closing your eyes. Look, chum, I get that your side of the industry is...

    archived-videos Fight Scene from 2010 Feature Length Film

    To AudioPost, Regardless of whether Georgia's video has better audio than the OP's video, the fact is Georgia posted her unsolicited scene as a sample of a fight scene that deserves to be studied. That's an arrogant thing for her to do and it opens her work up as fair game for criticism. Be...

    Good God, this was deceptively hard to think up. I can instantly envision nearly sixty-two thousand different brilliant car-chases, but........... foot chases? Not easy at all. Trying to consider all the essentials: good action, good emotion, good story setting. And trying to avoid picking...

    Firing the director

    Like others were saying: late once........ a warning. Late twice....... fired. (And there's no such thing as bad publicity.)

    If You Were To Remake Batman

    Agreed Bloody brilliant. Ejiofor is excellent, one of the most believable bad asses in the business. And Zoe Saldana............... that lovely tulip can come over to my flat and rehearse material anytime she wants. Door's open. Beer's in the fridge. Did you see her in Columbiana? Crap film...

    Whatever, Georgia. You posted your fight scene in *response* to someone else posting their fight scene. Whether your fragile ego will admit it or not, the implication you made is that your video is superior. Well, it's not. Your fight scene looks amateur and has a couple clumsy edits. None of my...

    Slick look, mate. You should have the lion sitting in a puddle of blood. But that's just me hijacking your movie. Well done otherwise.
