That is hilarious. It seems that Ebert is giving a lot of dumb films a break lately. That explains everything.

Yep it was produced through WigglyWorld. Check out http://www.policebeatmovie.com/. I totally recommend getting involved with NWFF/WigglyWorld if you have a chance to.

Nice! A common error I've seen is that the director will decide on a shot list (via storyboards) before the location is secured. Often the geometry of the actual location will require an entirely new shot list. Storyboarding everything to death can be wasteful if you don't even have your...

Which fests? At Slamdance/Sundance I saw almost entirely HD finished films. (Shot on 16mm/35mm/whatever but exhibited in HD). In Seattle there was an IFP short budgeted at >$100K, I assume this included 35mm finish, but the short didn't make it into Slamdance/Sundance :( , I just don't...

Wideshot: It's not going to cut it no matter how I go about it? Damn, all the animators in the world are going to be upset.. :cool: Re filmout: Expect to pay at least $3k for a 35mm filmout (for a project up to 10 minutes). If you have a good relationship with the lab (or you simply beg...

To make my next short, instead of shooting with a pricey >$20k HDCAM, I can buy a $1700 Nikon D2H. It will be shot in 8FPS and then sped up in post to 24FPS. No location sound - the camera is going to be loud. Of course, the actors will have to move 3x more slowly - or not – but I’m...

I lived in Australia for several years - went to Uni Melb (VCA school of Film & TV).. does that count ? :cool:

Just my two cents.. If you are submitting to festivals, they usually have their own formats for electronic press kits. If it's hard for the festivals to transfer your images and text into their catalog then it might not be worth it. But if this is a "calling card" DVD then that seems like a...
