Dude, that's even worse... because that means you already knew that Schrodinger's Paradox was a thought experiment designed to debunk quantum physics. Which makes it either a very bad analogy or you made it assuming we were less well educated than you are. The whole point of the Schrodinger...

LOL... Yeah, the line "Honey, ever seen pixels this deep?" very rarely works as a pick up line. Whereas, "Honey, I've a full set of primes and I know how to use them..." is a guaranteed panty peeler LOL

Doug, I'm the opposite... and I'm killer at dialogue, always have been. Probably to do with all the years I worked writing for radio. I struggle with the mechanics, despite the fact I'm a whizz with conceptual physics (not the maths mind you... LOL) Send me an email with a wish list of...

Doug... thanks for this... your technical knowledge is first rate and despite the fact that I had 90% of that information already, that's the first time I've seen it explained so clearly. What was new to me was the info about pixel depth... very, very useful as ever.

Don't have time at the moment... busy getting ready for the Cannes Film Festival

Thanks Doug, look forward to testing out the new Vkey... I mean the old one was totally the cat's whiskers, so very excited. Especially about testing it out in Motion. On the copyright issue... one of the reason's I know this particular piece of law backwards and forwards is because five years...

Can't answer that question for you, I'm afraid. I've never had to make that kind of a deal.

Listen, if you've already decided what the answer is, don't waste people's time by asking for information. I've told you what the legal situation is, you can either accept that it's the case, or go find paid for legal advice, or ignore the advice and live with the consequences. Pretty much...

Yes, there are international DVD distributors. You might also want to check out this site Jaman If you look at the kind of Asian films they distribute, it should give you a sense of the potential market.

Simple answer is NO... it isn't enough. Even if you believe your idea is genuinely original, any writer could develop a similar concept and no court would be able to tell from a one page treatment, whether the concept had been stolen or if it was just a coincidence. The more detail there is...

Good luck with the film... keep us posted :director:

Rik nailed the answer here... pros almost always rent, because renting allows you to use better equipment than you could buy. As any film is a massive investment, you want the best equipment you can get access to. However, there are also style issues... some film makers think there are...

Ah... that's a common misunderstanding which almost everyone makes. What takes the budget is ADVERTISING... marketing is the process of designing and packaging a product for the market. So, when I say marketing I mean understanding who I'm going to sell the film too and how my film meets the...

:lol: Here's a link to the trailer As to what happened -- well, what normally happens when you make a movie -- my business partner and I decided we couldn't work with each other. So, I left the company. Leaving him to secure distribution. He pushed the movie around a number of sales agents...

Red Giant make a little plugin Called Colorista... and they also have some tutorials on how to use it. It's not expensive $199 (well in comparison to other pieces of software) ... and it works in Premiere Pro (which is editing software for PC's. If you're using some other software, like...

My background is written in my profile... I guess rik's is as well (Sorry Rik, never needed to check :blush:) LATER: Just updated it... must get a new photo

Phil, I'm in Milan, Italy, these days... but I'm picking my camera kit up from a friend at Cannes 08, next week. I'd be happy to help out. By the way... I've also just developed a fast, cheap, guerilla CGI process, so if you need any odd effects done I maybe able to help. Feel free to drop me...

The easiest way is to look for films like the one you want to sell... then look at who distributed that film. Then google the distribution company and read everything about them. Do the same for all the film makers from your region they distribute. Then contact them with a polite email asking...

There are two different answers to this question... one which would be useful to a newbie and one which is only suitable for an experienced director... As last time I made the mistake of assuming you didn't know anything... which would you prefer?

Hi Firstly good luck with your film. One thing you need to understand is that there is more than one market for films... and different markets like different films. So, if you're making a film for American Cinemas, then you won't be able to sell a subtitled movie... because the main stream...
