    Are the deals mostly made in LA?

    Deals are made with hard work, blood & sweat, connections, talent, knowledge, and some luck; Deals are not made simply because you live in LA. You want to be a mogul (but not an actor/director). What kind of mogul do you want to be? Work your way up. You can always fly out to LA to make...

    Did Lucas take the easy way out of a potential disaster?

    +1. To the OP, Lucas doesn't owe you anything nor does he owe me anything! The guy didn't sell out 41 years ago and that's why he's a where he's at today. He definitely deserves the opportunity to cash out.

    archived-videos My NEW Music Video!!! Check it out!!

    I liked it as well. I'm also with TwinCities in that I don't know what the others mean when they say the wardrobe and location is inappropriate. It looks appropriate to me and fits the style of the video.

    how do bad movies make it on DVD/bluray/netflix?

    If you as a filmmaker want to do filmmaking as a living then you need to start treating it like a business and not like a passion/hobby. You want to get your film distributed? Make a movie that has a market; don't make a crappy drama that bores everybody to death and nobody wants to watch it...

    RED Scarlets for $7,000!!

    It still is saving you thousands of dollars. I'm not sure why you're being so negative about it. It's a great little camera for the price. Most people know that they will have to invest more than the cost of the body but if an individual can save a couple thousand dollars in the process then...

    RED Scarlets for $7,000!!

    Here ya go boils and ghouls! (Halloween lingo haha) RED is offering a discount of a lifetime on their Scarlets. $7,000! They had a company rent out a ton of them for a project and now they can't sell them as new so they are discounting them like crazy. You can't snatch up a better 4K camera...

    IP, Copyright, and YouTube

    Typically the reason why it has ads on it is because of the copyright holder. The copyright holder gets the money from the ads, not the individual who posted the video with that song that they don't own.

    IP, Copyright, and YouTube

    I agree. I believe in copyright laws and that we definitely need to respect them.

    Question about which gun props are the right choice.

    Do NOT use real guns. Use blank firing prop guns but even then be very careful as they are also dangerous and potentially deadly.

    editing Facepalm fail :(

    Once I accidentally tripped over my power strip cord, which was connected to my desktop and 2 external hard drives, which were backing up at the time. It corrupted all the files on those drives including that current edit of the feature length I was editing. Set me back 2 days. Major bummer!

    How would you revolutionize cinema?

    I do enjoy going to the theaters that offer full food service and a full bar!! They have a few in Minnesota and they are the best!

    How would you revolutionize cinema?

    Bring back Ma & Pop theaters!! Make them interactive. Get people to love the theater again and make it more personal as well as more affordable.

    I can't afford every camera ever made...

    I love my EX3 (SDI out w/ Nanoflash is a great combo); however it will be soon here that I make the plunge into the world of RED. If you are planning on only concentrating on image acquisition then I suggest you get very familiar with 4K (camera res) and higher units such as the EPIC, Alexa, etc.

    What do you think of the hero wimping out in a lot of thrillers? (MOVIE SPOILERS)

    Typically a good person won't kill another person in cold blood. John wouldn't have simply shot the guy if he didn't have to. Plus.. wasn't he a cop?

    $100 for a day's work?

    $100 is adequate! I would take $100 per day and I know a lot of people do.

    NEW SCI-FI VFX SHORT HITS CRIME + TECHNOLOGY IN 2023

    Stunning! Easily one of the best short films i've ever watched. The storyline was brilliant and the execution was superb. Some of the camera angles I thought didn't match the overall feel but the story and quality made up for it. Great job!

    Creepy similarities

    Registering your screenplay with the WGA wouldn't do you any good if something were to happen.
