    sound Let's say your friend composes your music...

    Correct no re-occurring US royalties when the film is played, but remember there was a hefty one-time fee paid (by distributor) for that music to be included in a theatrically released film (sync fee) and whatever service fee the composer negotiated to do the work in the first place (paid by...

    Waiting for my sound designer to get some files back to me, the lul is killing me so I meander... and look what happens. As long as you now realize a jury of your peers, your initial scenario of the room full of filmmakers, as well as the ominous godheads sitting atop their dream crushing...

    Spec Screenplays Versus Shooting Screenplays Versus Continuity Screenplays...

    Deceivers! Ya'll said this thread was winding down. Spot on, but the takeaway got skewed. What FantasySciFi likely meant is those scripts warranted a pass because they had both, or multiple, issues on both presentation and content. It's generally not one or the other exclusively because it is...

    Flash animation set up?

    While Apple declaring war on a product by no means makes it extinct (ahem Google Maps ahem) I must agree that Flash is going the way of the dodo and has been for sometime, even before the HTML5 hype started. Not to mention there is a huge learning curve with action script, so if you have no...

    Police and my guns

    No worries man, it's all just very fresh in my mind still. And as Sweetie cautioned, please use CUT-IN's and Foley at your own risk. Also make sure blinking isn't against any county or municipal codes in your area.

    Police and my guns

    First off NICE!! I am elated that you are using real gunfire. Bravo man, just bravo. We are a dying breed. If I see one more silly pasted on clip art muzzle flash, often the same one for different guns in the same scene mind you, I'm going to stab my neck with a calligraphy pen. You took far...

    Agreed. Well done lads. I'm also glad the OP got a little sumpin' sumpin' out of this. And trueindie man I remember my first beer too. It doesn't mean your second one won't go down smoother based on a few ideals you may have reluctantly gleaned from an unwarranted typhoon of forum wordsmithing...

    No of course not. A little PAN buried in the middle of your spec script won't sink a great (notice I actually didn't use the word "good" there) spec script. But eventually you, as the writer, will grow to see that little PAN as a blemish on your sweeping epic... and that's when you know you have...

    It might be worth re-exploring. I dunno. I do know you'll have none of the stress or concerns or questions you've raised here... but I'm sure it will dig up others. But what I'm saying is if they did happen to use a close up for a shot that you also wanted as a close up, it wasn't because you...

    I was in the same headspace you are in right now at one time in my life. It turns out the rules aren't that bad, its like learning any new craft or technique. The more you actual sit down and just write the faster these things are a non-issue. In fact these "rules" actually help your story shine...

    SPEC SCRIPT / SCREENPLAY The spec script, or what most people refer to simply as as the screenplay, is what you want to focus on as a writer. Period. In fact, unless you are directing your own screenplays, you'll probably never write a shooting script (and thank your stars for that). The spec...

    I'm going to do it!

    • I started writing my short June of 2013 • Principal Photography wrapped in October of 2014 (5 consecutive weekends) • Started editing immediately after and still going to this very minute of 2015 I can't begin to list the filler inbetween all of this from slowly purchasing costumes/props...

    Ah OK, pardon my confusion. You yourself said "Canon RAW is also a videocodec produced by their C500 cameras"... This implies you knew it is also the codec produced by Magic Lantern RAW. I am familiar with the ridiculously overpriced ergo-nightmare camera that cannot record RAW internally and...

    Is Canon RAW the file produced by ML off of say a 5D? Is this the same as a CR2 file? If so there is not support in my cc 2014 version of any sort. Unrecognized file. I am a version back though (v 8.0) due to other issues, so maybe the latest and greatest can in fact handle this? I doubt it as...

    Ugh See stuff like this kills me... why does Adobe post stuff like this that clearly leads one to believe you can take "Canon Raw" right from your camera to the Adobe Premiere CC 2014 timeline? "Enhanced format support The 2014 release of Premiere Pro CC enables you to work with the vast...

    Yeah when I do bite the bullet and move to a higher brow codec and color space there is just no way this will be my workflow. I'd claw my face off. But I am the first to admit knowing the camera has this secret super power of RAW is like an itch that can't be scratched. Most of the other...

    Thanks for the clarification. I can't help myself but to assume that someone who is using ML is shooting RAW.
