    I accept that were I an audio post person, I'd probably have to develop skills that make audio post more manageable, so that I can have my M&E Mix, and create sub mixes so that I can make changes separately, instead of changing the sound file itself. For instance, once I do my noise reduction, I...

    Well I hope I didn't offend :) How're you going about finding your niche by the way? I'm curious. I made a movie about shyness, and tried to post on shyness forums about it, and found the moderators very hostile, understandably. Most of them said, "look, this is a forum for contributors, and...

    I removed my post because I thought you represented Ionia Media. And after I read it again, it didn't look like you wanted my critique, but just to get the info out. So I edited my post. But if you want my input, the whole issue is "following." I don't have a following on youtube, or anywhere...

    Edit: Deleting my post as I just realized, this is a publicity thread for the project and not for my ramblings. Sorry about that. Hope that's okay with moderators.

    I can answer this question. There are two worlds in filmmaking. The paid world and the unpaid world. In the paid world you say "Hey, who wants to get paid?" and a bunch of people will hear your call, and want to get paid, and give you their professional expertise for pay. In the unpaid world...

    So I'm using BS.1770-3 for USA Also, what I did was created a final track where I printed the DX, FX and MX tracks into a stereo MIX track where I bounced a PRINT of all three tracks. I put a compressor on this print track first, and then I put insight, on this final track. So the This is the...

    How does directing work, exactly?

    I didn't quite catch what you were saying when I read this line earlier. What I'm trying to say is that you should not offer input and direction thinking that you have a team on top of their game, with the script and years of experience under their belts, who actually have been HODs on previous...

    Thanks for the info. I just used a US preset, which I'm assuming is the same for Canada. But I'll check for the other specs you mentioned.

    thanks. I just put my first compressor settings at threshold: -8 ratio: 2.5 2nd compressor at threshold: -6 ratio: 5 Got my true peak down to -3.5db, which occurs during a musical sequence. I could work with the original track and get it down further. There doesn't seem to be any other true...

    Also, if instead of going into the original files, I just want to use the compressor to control the loudness slightly to control the peaks and the integrated LUFS, what are the ideal compressor settings to ensure a subtle change and nothing too dramatic. Any ideas would be helpful. thx. Edit: I...

    How does directing work, exactly?

    I had no "location manager." I was the location manager. I asked my friend and her husband to lend me her house for three days. I am the one who asked multiple bars and found one where the price was right. I'm the one who went all over Toronto looking for spots and studios and public spaces to...

    How does directing work, exactly?

    I have no argument with anything you said. I never said, you shouldn't storyboard. In fact, if it is within your means, not only should you storyboard, you should do it as meticulously as the Wachowskis in the Matrix. If you have the means, it would be a tragedy if you didn't do that. I was...

    How does directing work, exactly?

    You shouldn't take my word for it. You should just make a film and find out for yourself what the situation at the indie level is. A good test would be just to hold an audition for your film. Let me know what percentage of the actors show up at the audition with the two page side memorized, what...

    cinematography Follow Focus with Gimbal

    Yes, you can't use the whip or any external physical influence, and keep your camera balanced. If you want to use depth of field and have the camera "steady" then you probably have to use the wireless focus options. If you look at any of the videos shot with these things, you'll almost always...

    How to direct actors?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqb14acaA2Q Every scene has to have a conflict, or has to have an emotional event, or it's not complete, and needs more work? Everybody here agrees with this sentiment? I'm just curious.

    What do you mean you lost your "sync" files? If you have everything in a drive, just come by my place whenever and resync your files. I still don't know what you mean by you lost your "sync" files though. aveek
