The thing with Super 8 is that it has a very distinct look to it. Personally, I love the way it looks, but I wouldn't shoot on it for its quality and resolution. It's going to be a "messy" looking film, not to mention that if you want any kind of length out of each cart, you'll have to film at...

That was an utterly pointless scene, but I admit I laughed pretty hard. Running thru the restaurant was priceless...

Is you camera moving during the shot? If not, just get a clean plate and roto the wires out in your compositing software... Of course that's if you're using a practical background. If you're green screening, just roto the wires out.

I believe on cartridge on Super 8 is 3 to 5 minutes depending on how many fps you shoot. If your Bell & Howell is functional, there no reason the Kodak carts shouldn't work in it. The cost of developing is what's most cost prohibitive these days. I have a couple cartidges of Super 8 that I...

I think this is a really important point. What made a movie like Step Brothers so funny was the chemistry and ad libbing/riffing between Will Ferrel and John Reilly during filming. And the reason we find them so funny is because A. they've honed their craft over many years, and B. we, as an...

One of the true greats passed away this week, and I am saddened. These guys not only put out some of the greatest music in hip-hop history (and I'm not even a big hip-hop fan...) but they also produced some the of the coolest videos I've ever seen. RIP Adam. You will be missed... :( Adam...

This. You've got to quit obsessing over the smallest of details. When I went to watch the clip, I thought it was going to be for a new short film of yours, but it's the same one!. You should be finished with this film by now and on to the next one! Just finish it and give the whole thing to us...

I agree with knightly. Redo the ADR, but do it yourself. I've gotten good sounding looping done with an SM-57 and Audacity before. The trick to making the ADR work is how you layer your sound (especially the ambient sound) in the edit. I've always found properly sound editing a shot is harder...

Sorry to get off topic, but I just got done reading through the various threads started by Gratwick Films (a.k.a Kris Hulbert, the guy in the video above...) I wanted to know, can we get the ban on him lifted? Because that was some of the most entertaining reading I've come across on a message...

Here's the contract that I use:

What a GREAT looking film! Yes, enter it.

So you were staying at the Cosmo, huh? Great hotel. I've stayed there a few times myself when I was too tipsy to drive home after dinner... Video is very cool...

I'm going to give you piece of advice from a different camp. Most of the comments I'm reading are coming from a stand point of a filmmaker wanting to have the best of what's available within their respective budgets, and there's nothing wrong with that. However, I believe that if you have a...

Don't change your preference of style to suit what you think others will like to see. You need to make the film that YOU want to make and have the quality of that film compel others to come to you. Otherwise, you're compromising your art to pander to your audience, and no one wants to see that...

What about a U-Haul?

I've reserved rooms at my local rec center. They're cheap and usually centrally located...

Funny. I made that exact point on another thread a month or so back and was dog piled on for wanting such a thing. :hmm: Guess I can't win for trying...

I'll be there! Although, I don't know if I'm going to be up for a 2am clsoing time...

It's too bad that so many people in the "movie biz" think like these guys do. The point they're making is true, but it's true BECAUSE of people just like them. The last line of the clip is the most poignant...

Spielberg is a genius! Jurassic Park used to be the proof, but now Laser Cats is the ultimate in Spielberg-ian mastery!
