    Fair producer's percentage

    Reading through it looks like it has been assumed you are a producer on this as well.... but I wanted clarification on that as several roles could be bringing the things you mentioned to the table. Secondly you are not talking about percentages of the initial above the line budget here...

    lighting What camera does Hollywood use in lowlight?

    This ^ The answer is "Hollywood" doesn't do lowlight. When you are seeing what is perceptually a dark or night scene on the big screen there is actually a lot going on to achieve that look in a pleasing (read as you can still magically see people) manner. But yeah if the bulk of what you are...

    editing how much is 'dubbed'

    OK, we differ on that. Huh? Are you learning to pull focus and white balance on an imaginary camera or something? So you can sit in your backyard and teach yourself how to focus pull and white balance in a satisfactory way and that only costs you time. But you can't sit at a computer or...

    editing how much is 'dubbed'

    I do sense some confusion, but only just now. The terms dubbing and ADR are completely interchangeable at every level of the industry. Sometimes you hear the "process" referred to as ADR while the act of doing it referred to as "dubbing" because "ADRing" is silly to say (kind of like "DVRing"...

    How are title sequences like this one made?

    Are you actually interested in how to design, animate, render and export one of these - or are you interested in having something like it in your project? The former takes years, passion and talent in the AE arena... the latter takes about 30 seconds and $30. It's just a customizable template...

    editing how much is 'dubbed'

    Traditionally, if shooting sound for final product by choice, you would want one technical person dedicated to managing the sound (production sound mixer) and a separate person dedicated to managing the video (DP). Doesn't apply to you and your situation I am betting since your DP probably knew...

    editing how much is 'dubbed'

    MOS baby... MOS! I always lean full ADR productions and get a euphoric rush from the process. It is just as viable (though unpopular) a creative decision that is made before a single frame is shot as committing to only using available light, shooting anamorphic or abstaining from CGI. There...

    format Formatting questions..

    The character name in the screenplay (as in all caps when speaking) needs to be what the characters name is in the reality/universe you are breathing life into. So even if other characters are mistakenly calling him by the wrong name in a scene the screenplay would still indicate the correct...

    editing Thoughts On This WIP Edit?

    Yeah, so this feels far more like we are sitting with you in the editing room going over all the takes we got to start to pick winners as opposed to an edited narrative. i'm not as optimistic as Cracker Funk that audio of any sort could turn that vibe around, but who knows. Despite a couple of...

    editing How Should I Be Credited

    "edited by" is your credit. Assuming the fact that they went through all the trouble of hiring someone else means they need a fair amount of work done on this thing -- more than say the previous guy forgot to add a fade to black at the end -- then your credit is "edited by". You better believe...

    editing Roto-effing-scoping, here's my number, save me maybe?

    As an interesting aside, I would never use "Rotoscoping" to describe what you are doing here (aka Keying/Masking)... has the term come to describe this more than it's original meaning? Just curious.

    editing Thoughts On This WIP Edit?

    To be honest it goes by too fast and was super hard for me to see for some reason.. but I can't really put my finger (or cursor) on it.

    Don't be dumb-dumbs, WB.

    Aw crap - my entire response was about the technically hideous leaked "Deadpool" trailer - I should have read OP closer. I didn't even know the Suicide Squad thing was leaked, prior. Didn't care, not a DC guy and the whole thing feels very "Lets hurry up and do a super ensemble cast movie like...

    Don't be dumb-dumbs, WB.

    The far gloomier message for me, as this thing broke, was that the world of consumers now considers this shaky smart phone from the nosebleed section with tinny echo boom sound PoS perfectly normal content to watch and enjoy. I clicked off of it in 10 seconds to await the finished product on a...

    That actually sounds insane to me. I would take the time to share that on some of the 5D forums if you can spare it. Sincerely glad you are back in the game and it wasn't something crippling. And yes those cards are fast, recommended, and super reliable by the way. Also not sure you can have...

    editing Newbie Post Production Question

    This is actually a brilliant moment of self-discovery for you, pay attention to it, please. Your brain has somehow managed to circumvent an increasingly common trapping where an indie filmmaker convinces themselves that they can not only do everything... but do everything well. So rather than...
