    The Revolution... on Digital Video

    "Great article." It is? Why? I think the standard for greatness has been lowered substantially.

    I did work :D

    "Okey dokey, I read through my entire draft today (which, in itself, is quite incredible) and I found a lot of things I want to change and mistakes I need to fix up." Wow, I can't wait to read this!!!

    It was going along okay, until the guy started talking on the phone. Bad exposition, not very believable performance. But, how could you blame the guy when it's a tired old amnesia thing? If you're going to go there, you need to twist the hell out of it before I click somewhere else.

    archived-videos New Controversial independent film

    The sound didn't seem right. At points it sounded like you were using the camera mic. I hope you didn't. If you got clean sound, you need to enhance the dialogue so it sounds more full. Maybe ADR.

    lighting Building my own lights

    There are two designs I liked, that you may want to check out. One is Woodylight, and the other used some kind of baking tins configuration with the wires trapped between two rectangular aluminum tins. I don't have the links, but Woodylights has a website.

    Nikon D7000

    I think it has a bit less moire and aliasing than the Canons. It also had a hot pixel problem that the newest firmware may have fixed. I like the idea of it because I can use my Nikon lenses in full auto mode again. But, I have yet to actually touch the D7000. The GH2 is cheaper and may have...

    From play to screenplay!?

    When you say your colleagues are pushing you, do you mean that they're pushing bags of money in your face to cover production costs? Is this supposed to be a short or a feature? Shorts make no money back. Features make no money back -- unless you're good/lucky/connected/or some intangible...

    I'm tired, depressed, and about to lose hope.

    "Then some of the folks responding here don't have access to it because it's in the Premiere section. " Correct. C-Funk: Never mind. I just don't have the time or inclination. Pearls and swine and all (that one in your fortune cookie jar?) Has Firefox responded about the boxing ring yet...

    I'm tired, depressed, and about to lose hope.

    I'm back from getting my novel out and about. And it is. Cracker Funk: "And that's what the OP's story should be about -- excess. That's the protagonist's dilemma." A guy sitting tapping on a controller for 24 hours isn't so much a protagonist as furniture. The main problem with this...

    I'm tired, depressed, and about to lose hope.

    RE: VIDEO GAMES The arguments I've received are silly. The boy's premise is that there's a character sitting around 24 hours a day wasting his life playing a video game. That's square one. It has some relation to reality. Millions of people sit around playing video games nightly (I know...

    Video game copyright issues ?

    "How do I get it when I'm only a small filmmaker " You don't. Why do you want to help them sell video games anyway? Think up your own content. In one of my projects, the character we follow is disgusted with her roommates and friends who play a stupid video game. I filmed a fake version...

    cinematography Colour Temperature & Colour Rendering Index DeMystified

    Keep this in mind: If you shoot digital (as pretty much everyone here does), then the sensor on the camera wants to see daylight, at or near 5600K. This type of light looks bluish compared to standard indoor bulbs. If it doesn't see this, you get lots of noise in the blue channel by...
