You can sit on a dolly with a handheld camera and get off it at the end of the stable part of the shot.

Take a look at Shane Hurlbut's blog test C500 vs Film which shows how different highlights behave in digital vs film. Also if you have photoshop and have a DSLR snap a RAW photo of lets say a light bulb or clouds w.e something that can clip and take another photo but this time expose for...

Couple of household florescents or a simple wagon light - several light sockets with ordinary light bulbs (25w,50w,100w w.e) either covered with diffusion or left bare open (could also get frosted bulbs). You don't really need much nowadays especially for close shots.

In film it is all about the story. Take a look at Budapest Hotel where rhey shoot a period piece in 1.33 aspect ratio. Some stories ask for 16mm,some.for super crisp digital look,some for soft digital,various lenses,stocks,cameras,filters,movements etc. All of this is the language of cinema and...

If you use a couple of fresnels to light it up that will help to shape the look. And if you shoot it on film that would be perfect.

Completed.

Do you really need a wider lens than 20ish on the crop ?

That must have been a fun shoot :D

What to say about music industry :)

Does it mean that nobody has made a model that work for nowadays indies or that no one actually is willing to pay money for indie flicks?

Now this is much better! While first one simply shows a house this version although not showing significantly more footage manages to spark interest. Good job! I would make the words last less time on screen by killing that animation of the letters jumping and making a bit snappier appearance...

Does SD give you the look and quality you desire? If yes do it. If you don't have any money for anything better than do it if you really can not get the mo. But on a technical level it doesn't make any sense to film a serious project on a sub par format. Take a look at some of the greatest...

I can't seem to find a story or main character in the script. Maybe it is just me.

Taste differs,I am just starting a thread not proposing anything. But I was genuinle surprised that this kind of story structure won the award,I thought it was way overused. Doodlebug was made in 1997 and there were tons after and most likely before. Perhaps it is the only way to create...
