LOL. Just because the sound is better than a lot of shorts, doesn't mean it's still not bad - considering the sound on most indie shorts is unbearable. Seriously, I'd consider more instrumental music where you have people speaking. Will make it much easier for the audience to hear. Regarding...

The sound was unbearable. Mix that with the song you have playing at the beginning and I can make the words out of what the characters are saying between what the person is singing.

I love how the magical three always come after me. Shows that you care. :) What some people consider "no-budget" some would consider a windfall. My guess is they spent about 1 million USD. And no... with the box office cut they only would have gotten 36 to 50$ from the US theater. It is...

All of this 48 fps and 5k talk is ridiculous. You can't undo 100 years of a cinema standard just because the technology will let you. 480 lines of resolution or 10 million lines of resolution won't matter if you story sucks. Content is king. Shoot a good story at 24 fps and 2k and you don't...

The Conjuring sucked beyond belief. I put no credence in any of the novel you posted (that I did not read) because of that statement.

How did you capture sound?

I couldn't get past the sound and shut it down after a minute.

I'm only going to address the last bit since the rest is nonsense. Go ahead and use the same music, same jump scares, same things that everyone else is using. You'll have a crappy movie like the Conjuring (the end credits of which was the scariest part).

So.... the discussion regarding day for night... IF you have the time and tools to do it within your budget, why not? IF you do NOT have the budget, be more creative. As for Jack the Ripper... yes... he could have killed during the day... in fact, if he would have killed just anyone during...

Perfect examples! IF you are an indie without the budget of Scorsese how do you handle that scene and still maintain the effectiveness / emotion? Why not send them through a meat grinder in an interior location? Or take them to a remote farm and feed them to the pigs? As a matter of fact I...

What happens at night that CAN'T happen during the day? Answer: NOTHING Unless someone is going to make the 10,000,000,000,000,000 zombie flick in existence and if that is the case they should just stop before they start.

I'm thinking that a china ball will an oscilating pattern to replicate leaf movement... what do you think :)

I'm thinking that for a nice night shoot I'm just going to build a 10 foot china ball and float it in the sky

Funny story. I'm on a feature film set in a huge church. They had two massive lights sitting in the back corners illuminating everything. We waited over and hour while the DP walked around with his light meter, adjust this, adjust that... never getting it quite right. Then one of the lights...

One, you plan your scene so that it doesn't require a wide view. Two, you rig a head light that runs on batteries (I've seen some that last up to 8 hours) on a system that gets it as close as possible to the edge of your frame (depending on the light intensity that is required). Three, you...

The second set up would be within 100 yards typically of where we are shooting. We do have a second camera. This would then let the DP who is on the hot location doing final set up and framing and the director who will be doing final run throughs with actors be able to see what the B team is...

For about a month now, YouTube playback has been atrocious. Stopping a few seconds in. Trying to play at 240 and other junk settings. This is happening on more than just my home network. Anyone else?

Shooting at night does NOT require a truckload of lighting. You know what they say, if you don't get the joke it means you are the joke.
