I'm afraid there are too many people out there that are perfectly willing to give their money to crappy Hollywood movie after crappy Hollywood movie without realizing that the reason they keep making crap is because these people keep buying it. It seems that the best movies released in theaters...

I was pretty pissed off after I saw "The Pest". Lucky for me, I happened to be watching it so I could write a review for my college paper. So, I didn't have to pay for the movie and I got to tell everyone, at least on campus, how horrible it was. It feels good to let people know when you...

I'm very excited about this camera. We've been drooling over it for a couple weeks now at Fulvew. May be out of the budget for purchase, but hopefully its somewhere rentable to take it for a test spin on a short film.

Yes, he's my hero.

Wow, you've peaked my interest. I gotta see this movie... but I'll wait for Netflix. Could it really be worse than Superman 4?

You inspired me to change my avatar. See if you can guess who it is.

Just wanted to make sure everyone saw this. We've confirmed that James Karen, actor in "Poltergeist" as well as many other movies and James Winburn, the stuntman who played Michael Meyers in "Halloween" are coming to the festival. In case you're wondering why them, we're showing "Poltergeist"...

Thanks for the links!

miniDV is serviceable for green screen and can be done if done correctly (see Knightly's post), but it will never look as good as green screen done correctly on HD or film due to the fact that miniDV automatically creates a compressed video file. We've done green screen work with our XL2, but...

Clive, I would definitely pay you a comission if you wanted to be my collection agency. I've actually thought about how great it would be if a collection agency opened strictly to serve self-employed, freelance and small businesses and their collection methods were much like you described. For...

In multiple phone calls to them, they have confirmed to me that they have the invoice(s) and that its on the top of the list for payment. They've been saying this since early May. Its a good idea though. I'll make sure to send anything else registered mail.

I have invoices I've been sending them since March. I don't have a contract with them, but I was set up with them through a service that probably has record of the call. I think I'll contact the service and tell them what's happening. I just sent them a letter saying that I intend to take...

I guess I'm at step 3 right now. The only fear I have of taking this particular client to small claims court is the fact that the client happens to be a law firm. I'm afraid they would be able to defend themselves in so many ways it would make my head spin. A collection agency seems to be...

My favorite action movies are: Die Hard, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The French Connection and Bullitt. And I think I know why. The villains are complete ass holes and the heros are completely obsessive about beating them. The hero wants nothing more than to foil the plan of the villain and as...

Does anybody know how, as a freelancer, I can send a client to a collection agency? Does anyone know of a collection agency I can use? Client is 90 days overdue on payment and I'm tired of the excuses. Has anyone ever done this before? Any help is much appreciated.

I was an extra in a really crappy action flick, "Extreme Honor" which also had a cameo by Michael Madsen. (I think I'm in the background of the bar scene he's in.) Michael Madsen was in The Doors which gets us to JFK. I'm not possitive, but Madsen had to be in a movie with Bacon at some point.

!!CALL FOR ENTRIES!! Announcing the Thriller! Chiller! film festival this October 13th and 14th at the Frauenthal Theater in Muskegon Michigan. This is a horror film festival that is sure to kick ass and we need some really sweet, independent horror films to put up on the big screen. And...

Wow bugzilla, I'm wondering what film school you went to. It sounds really, REALLY bad. In my experience, some of our professors were less than knowledgeable about what they were teaching, but some were really great. I always retained the rights to anything I made at our school. Most of the...

We've been in a few festivals. The only awards so far were the one here and one at the Chicago Really Short Film Festival (Image Union award). Aparently the short will show on the Image Union show in Chicago sometime in the fall. We entered 4 more horror/thriller film fesivals that take...

Thanks for the feedback, I'm on it.
