I'd number each location as a separate scene. The cutting between scenes happens during editing. I suppose you could add some direction at the end of the scene preceding the 3 you plan on inter-cutting. "The next 3 scenes are to be inter-cut."

A good nuts and bolts book is The Filmmaker's Handbook- a comprehensive guide for the digital age. I have the 2013 editing and although it's dated, it has a lot of the basics that are still relevant today. I just flips it open to refresh my memory and landed on a page the shows, with pictures...

Peter, I watched your latest episode. As usually, very well made and interesting. You know how when you look at situation without emotion. Because it doesn't involve you, you sometimes see things that the participants in the spectacle don't see? I know you've probably been asked this many...

Good films? Statistically, no, but people keep trying.

First of all, what is a film maker? A director, editor, writer, camera person..... I've never gone, but I've been told it's about talent, of course, but also networking- meeting the right people.

After a childhood tragedy, a boy acquires foresight, enabling him to prevent future accidents, but did he? The accident that nearly took his life left him with premonitions of future accidents involving other people. He could save them, if he wanted to.

I have a Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K. It's around 5 years old but I'm happy with the video quality and the performance of the copter itself. It shoots 29.97fps, but come to think of it, I never checked the menu to see if I can change that... Topaz AI is awesome.

I don't know. I think they might have mapped the video onto a prop piece of paper, possibly with markers on it. The reason I think this is because, if you look close, the image on the paper being crumpled or torn is still moving during the crumpling. It's hard to tell but if you look at the...

Back in the day, not too long ago, Eddie Murphy could say what he wanted, Jerry Seinfeld could say what he wanted. Everybody could say whatever they wanted (for the most part) and people laughed or they didn't. Now, it's true, saying the wrong thing, even in jest, can get you fired, cancelled...

If you convert your analog to HD, it will still look like analog. The color and lines of resolution will simply be digitized. Personally, I think people get too hung up on the HD/4K resolution. A good film is still a good film no matter how it was shot. I just finished working with a guy who...

Sometimes I leave my t.v. on all day with a 10 hour Youtube video playing. I discovered some wonderful videos that tell no story, but instead, show birds in trees, or mountains, or beautiful landscapes from around the world. I will put 1 of these videos on, in effect, turning my t.v. into an...

I think you did a good job describing it. A panoramic view of a coastal town from the sea. Everything is moving at a significantly accelerated pace, indicating the passage of several days. day turns into night; night turns into day...

You have such and eye. I don't know how to describe it. Your images actually cause an emotional response in me. I could easily see you working as a Production Designer for one of Hollywood's $200,000,000.00 fantasy/space epics. Question. I know you use a lot of stock models. Are they royalty...

Update I just finished the 3rd draft of the book. It's interesting that writing a book is much like sculpting in clay. You can look at the first draft as roughing in the design. The 2nd draft, like sculpting, is about fixing and refining. The 3rd draft is just more refining. I'm doing a lot...

Beautiful rendering, Nate, but I have to admit, when I saw this thread, I thought it was going to be about the work done on the movie, Fall, which, by the way, is a very good movie!

My introduction to Giancarl Esposito was through his work on a few Spike Lee films, then the movie Fresh. For me, his most memorable character is a toss up between Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad and Buggin' out in Do the Right Thing. I enjoy it when an actor seems like they came out of...

Thank you, Mara.

My witch is pure evil. She has her reasons though. Yes, she has powers, and she uses them, but her main power is the power of persuasion. I suppose I'd say it's supernatural horror on the surface though there are a lot of subtleties. If you take away the horror aspect of the story, then it's...

Hello there, Indietalk people; Sean, Nate, Mike C., Chris T., Mara.... It's been a while. I haven't had time to scan the board to see what everyone's been up to, but I can see at a glance that Nate is still busy with his super cool project. Keep it up, my friend... I wasn't getting anywhere...
