I am tasked with shooting a music video for a band that wants me to incorporate footage from their upcoming live performance. I have not shot like this before and was wondering how many cameras I would need to have enough angles to make a solid music video? Also, should I use LED lighting...

I need to start having you critique my movies. You do a great job picking out a lot of small yet recognizable things.

Directorik is dead on. If you work on someone else's project and work your butt off, you will meet people who either way to repay the favor or you will meet other crew members who will want to expand their network. You will find out who is a good to work with and who is not through trial and...

Microsoft Excel isn't the worst thing either if you don't want to spend time and money learning additional software

The 5D is better for sure. It has a full frame sensor while the 7D has a crop frame sensor. The 5D will have much better picture because of it.

This may be the most interesting response I've ever got to a question on a message board!

Is there a way to record dialogue between actors in the forest without catching excessive surrounding noise, especially cicadas?

I will personally build you one for half that price

The Fly - 10/10 - Because somewhere, deep down inside, we are all the fly.

Have you ever seen a good movie with just one person in the credits? Go out and meet some people who do this stuff all the time. You'll probably have to volunteer to get on someone's project, but you'll make connections that way. Your network is your net worth.

There isn't a rental house near you with this lens? It would probably cost as much to rent the lens for a day as it would to ship both ways insured.

Thanks a lot Will. The videos are exceptionally helpful.

Can anyone give me any advice regarding motion tracking markers with a green screen. What color should I use for the makers? Where should I put them? How do I remove them in post effectively? Thanks, Paul

Can you make me something that looks like The Hobbit?
