Thanks guys for the feed back. Interesting concept oakstreet, I might try to play around with that. I plan on buying After Effects, but since I don't have it yet I'll keep messing around with it. Thanks again.

Hey guys, I have a question about how to make slow motion look "smooth". I was working with some clips I shot the other day and when I slowed it down the footage seems to shutter. I am using a Canon XL-2. I was shooting at 60i and my shutter speed was set to 120. I am editing in FCE. I reduced...

Thanks for all the advice. As I stated previously, the song is extremely vague. It doesn't tell a story, just part of one. I created the characters, the plot, and the setting. The song merely inspired it. I did however create a character based on the character from the song but you can't copy...

Hey guys, I just bought a Canon XL-2 yesterday ( My first 3 CCD cam!!) and I have been playing around with some settings to get a feel for the camera as well as the best film look I can achieve. I have very little experience with this type of camera and was wondering what settings you guys use...

Thanks guys for the quick response. I will look into it further. I will most likely just change the name to be safe, but I'm still curious as to the legal rights.

Hey guys, I have recently finished my first feature length screenplay and had a question about copyrights. The script was inspired and loosely based on a song. I have thrown around several titles for the script but the title that really fits it best is the title from the song in which it was...

Thanks guys for the quick response. That's what I was looking for.

Hi guys. I wasn't sure where I should post this question so I decided to post it here. I have two questions actually. First question. When submitting a short film to a festival what is an acceptable lenght? 15-20 min? With that being said, I was curious as to go about finding out how long a...

Thanks for the input. That's how I have been doing it, but wasn't sure if people were doing it any other way. I will stick to that style until I'm told differently. Thanks again.

Hey guys I'm working on a screenplay that has a few flash back sequences. I was curious as to the proper way to denote this on the page. Do you say flashback in the slug line? Or somewhere else. for example. INT- LOG CABIN- NIGHT- FLASHBACK That doesn't seem right to me. I have read many...

Hello and Welcome. I'm from Northwest Ohio. I thought I'd throw that out there. lol

It is a new iMac. I have messed with iMovie a little bit but it seems extremely limited. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I can't even find a way to add titles and such. I wanted the intro to be a solid black screen and have some text appear with some music. I couldn't find anyway to add the...

Thanks for the response. I was confused with Final cut because on Amazon you can buy older versions of FCP like FCP3 or FCP4. they are all say upgrade. I would assume that means you must already own FCP and are adding this to it. So FCP 4 wouldn't be a stand alone program, I would have to...

Ok so I finally went out and bought an iMac to edit with. Now the obvious choice for editing software would be final cut pro. Does anyone know where I can find it at a good price? I was also wondering what version to buy. I know they just came out with Final Cut Pro Studio 2 but I don't really...

I saw the movie tonight and I thought it was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was the greatest movie ever made but it was entertaining. It was a breath of fresh air and a much needed break from all the remakes, sequals, and super hero/comic book movies hollywood keeps spitting out.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I have decided to go with the Canon XL 2. I am also going to look into getting a wide angle lens for it. I see the 3x wide angle lens aren't too expensive. I am going to buy the camera instead of renting it because I want to be able to shoot whenever I want on...

Thanks Knightly. I will look into those cameras. Have you used them all personally? Just curious what one do you think is the most bang for the buck.

Hey guys, I have a question about what camera I should get. I was planning on getting a Canon XL 2 but I'm not sure if that is the best camera for it's price range. I have used one once and I really liked it but I don't have any experience with any other cameras. I plan on making my own indie...
