I watched this movie sometime ago. Twice. Left a 'two' thumbs up. Very well done. I highly recommend all on IndieTalk to give this short film a view. Really brought back that 1940's horror film 'feel'. Hope that was your goal. Cause you did it extremely well. Like to see what you could do with a...

I do not know if I am on target with what answers you might seek. I really tried to sit through the first transformers movie @ the theater. It was hard to do. My three nephews grew up with the toys and were excited (they were in their mid-twenties when the first movie came out) -- they could...

Hope i explain this well enough to be understood. Words sometimes get in my way (darn amateur screen-hack and dumb film-maker that i am). Sorry about length too. Thinking about doing the trek from Ohio to Las Vegas (and back) for the annual IndieMeet (wanted to do this for a long time). So much...

On a 73" HD/3D Mitsubishi (low lights and quality surround sound). The last Underworld (new DVD release)... watched it in 2D BluRay NOT 3D... Story was wrapped around for action sequences -- weak story -- cool action sequences. C Last Tron LEGACY on standard 2D DVD (not 3D). Pretty weak story...

Heres another night example from 2001. A music video we shot in about 4 hours. The basement had electricity but I used cool-lux lights with gells and filters for speed and control. Got better the more I experimented.

I like working at night. Try a lot of different no budget, lighting ideas... here are a few no-expense-spent 'lighting' ideas from 2003, using minimal lighting, (like 3 car's headlights through stretched bed sheets at different angles and depth and flashlights). We had no electricity on...

Watched your URLs in the threads above. Nice material. Good incite into "MONEY" productions... even for someone who has no money but wants to create & play in the rich man's art scene... Keep the URL's going RAYW. Even though I have heard much f this before, I will keep watching and learning --...

Director(s) -- what are your goals? my humble two cents... GOALS. As the 'poor-director-guy-behind-the-camera-and-editing-system' (writer, director, producer, cameraman, editor, gaffer, grip, janitor and horrible-sometimes-actor), I always finish what I start while making the 'product' the...

Excuse my brain bubbling out of my ears... When I look at the new cameras (and technology) coming out... the COST of creating 'quality' imagery (and audio) in story-telling is dropping. e.g. The NEX-FS700 (barely affordable @ $9,000.00 with glass for most no-budget, indie film-makers), EOS C300...

I am following cameras (and technology behind those cameras) closely these days. Still stuck with using my (mint) 3 1998/99 DVcam pro cameras for another five months (maybe longer) on 4 upcoming projects (for direct to DVD marketing -- docs not narrative -- projects with a ready market). I think...

Wish I had an answer. I have never had any luck with anything on YouTube (my stuff going viral). Suppose it could be that my work sucks? Who knows? I quit Facebook a year ago and never went back till a few weeks ago -- because all I did was spend time trying to support my belief in Global...

Carter has left the first run theaters. Will Carter make it's investors their money back? A profit? The final word will be DVD sales. Word of mouth. Home theater. Some movies have done very well in the final stage of distribution. Some have not. Here is what DVD sales may look like for John...

I do not have a continuity problem in my footage, EVER. I always use more than one camera, generally three (on tripod never hand held) and always shoot lots of cutaways and CU/MS with minutes of naked, (no dialogue) ambient sound. In some hard to visualize cases, I draw out a story board. I do...

My two cents. I believe in story. Strong characters. Great arcs and plot points. Strong dialogue. Take the viewer someplace where they have never been before with as much going on around them as possible. Put the protagonist through HELL. And add as much action to that HELL as possible with...

After our last TV died, we invested our meager savings into a 73" 3D HD set. We watch a movie everyday (either in BluRay, 1080 satellite feed or SD DVD with upgraded image). We are very happy and extremely content (and hope to be for the next 10 years with what we now have). We even love 3D! We...

Russflex, hope this helps... Best way to sell a script? Got to be great! What is a great script? One man's art is another man's trash, (I have read a lot of trash out there and/or seen some trashy scripts make it to the screen -- haven't we all been there?). Someone, somewhere thought it would...

the Kickstarter learning process Thanks CJInzana for the comment. The original Kickstarter did have a 1:40 trailer (dropped that down to 30 seconds) with a 1:40 of cast and myself talking about the movie and an additional 1:30 of what the pledge gifts were or looked like. I listened to...

whoops.

Each shot was well done but very slow, way over extended. Pacing was far too long too. More shots of loved one could have elevated story and added more emotion. I dig what your trying to say, but at 6:15 length -- everything could have been said with the footage shown but cut down 70% in length...

You have to have a script. NickClapper is right! Number ONE must have for any project. On or off kickstarter trying to get funded. You need it on paper!!! WOW. You are asking for $90,000.00? I thought I was pushing the envelop at $42,000.00). Next time our group will aim small. And. We have a...
