Hi guys, finished editing my first short and I'm looking to export it. However, the first time I did it there was no audio... I'm using Adobe Premiere CS4 and I have separate audio and video tracks. My main thought is that I exported on the wrong settings. I shot the film at 1920x1080, 24fps...

I'm at university and you'd be amazed how many people are interested in being involved in a short film. Actors want stuff for their reel, people are happy to work for credits. You can get plenty of people if you email around colleges- drama and theatre students also have decent knowledge of...

For me, the biggest shock about Warrior is nobody is mentioning Joel Edgerton. For me, that's his film and Tom Hardy is secondary, but, most likely because of his new star power, he's the one everyone is talking about. I still think Nolte is the best but to be honest Hardy didn't really do much...

I don't know if I agree with everything you said. Admittedly, I was also surprised Brooks missed out but the fact is Warrior was a great film and he was very good in it. Whilst I did really enjoy Moneyball (one of my favourites of the year and I've never watched a baseball match, well played...

One thing I find helps is to separately start writing out the scene in a very detailed way, almost like a shot list. Once you have the scene completely visualised it can almost play out in your head like you were watching it, and then, hopefully, you'll almost watch the dialogue appear. I...

Hi guys, I'm my first short this friday and saturday (I know, I'm excited too!). We had arranged to borrow a lighting kit from a local group but they have pulled out and now we essentially have no lighting. We don't have a huge budget as we spent knowing that we had that lighting secured and so...

Glad to hear about a good guy finally getting a break!

Hi there. I have to say I really enjoyed 'Bubble'. It was beautifully shot and the score was amazing. I don't really think there was any narrative (contrary to what the youtube blurb may have said...) but sometimes that doesn't matter. It really drew me in and although there wasn't much of a...

As usual there's some amazing advice coming from Alcove here, I think you'll struggle to beat any of those suggestions for your sound kit. I'm looking into similar sound packages and think the dual battery pack idea is a great one... I just wish that in the UK these things were easier to come...

Not a specific top 10 but a few films that stood out for me were Drive, Kill List, Crazy Stupid Love, Moneyball and Hugo. I realise it was only an honourable mention in your list but I really didn't find Another Earth everything it was cracked up to be. The other earth of the title was used...

Really enjoyed it! Made me smile and that's the main thing Thought it was really well shot as well, very professional looking. And, like Nick said, great audio. That was actually one of the main things was that separated it from your average short for me. All in all, great stuff and keep it up :)

I think it looks amazing! I really like your art style and it looks like a really interesting concept. I'm excited to see the final film!

A little late but happy birthday mate! Hope it was a cracker... I'll get my coat

I'd second that. Having read what you just wrote AND seeing the trailer I'm intrigued, but honestly the trailer on it's own didn't really say much. Still, the film itself is the main thing and I think it sounds like a great premise

Yeah, getting Barry was awesome, I'm still saving up for his DVDs! I thought everyone in the Beginners Guide did an amazing job though and all the Indietalkers involved surpassed my expectations if anything. Special thanks to Cracker Funk as he wrote his the day before I posted it when I sprung...

Hi there guys, although I'm not the most active poster here I visit IT pretty religiously and so I'm hoping to get some feedback from the experts here on my new website, http://kubricksrube.com/ The site is basically designed as a helpful resource for filmmakers, mainly aimed at newcomers who...

That's amazing! If anything I'm most impressed by your restraint, I'd be mobbing anyone who came in the door and would probably be fired within a few days of the production arriving in town ;) I think this does go to proving that personality is so important in a director. I recently attended a...

Best I'd suggest if you're operating a low to no budget operation is maybe when you've finished your film email a few publicists and ask for tips on publicity. Can't hurt to ask, and if they take an interest could end well. Otherwise, just do it yourself. Social media has made publicity a lot...

Some interesting debate here, and obviously a new thread has been started so I'll skip mentioning that here. What I will say is I think the videos are amazing, I think when you're first getting into filmmaking there's so much you don't even realise and you can use all the help you can. For...

I have a T3i and I do have that problem :/ what settings do you use to get rid of it, or at least minimise it?
