    Feature vs shorts

    I think of short films as a tool. They can serve many purposes and essentially vital in an indie's success. Things you should ask yourself, Do you have a fan base / following that will allow the feature to have some assured value? Shorts can help find that following. Do you have a...

    VFX Supervisor for 4 episodes, according to his IMDb. Quite an impressive resume too XD I particularly like Evolution, and the creatures animations were yours? --------------- You MAY be able to do your claim.. but still it did sound extremely egotistical. Plus would you rather have done...

    Softwares

    At Full Sail I'm given Final Cut X and Adobe Creative Suite. I have access to Avid Symphony only for 16mm (mid-program) and 35mm (final) productions. And I own DaVinci Resolve (but enjoyed a student discount).

    Softwares

    What's personal about it? I just think it's strange to assume you're better than most users of a high end industry standard software. The people that own that software, for the most part, are people who do it professionally. I don't know many indies that can afford Avid or Maya... but I know...

    Softwares

    Depends on your scale. If you mean most by the general population of the world. Yea you can. If you mean most by the actual userbase of Maya? Most likely not. Just as the average Premiere user isn't likely to be a better editor than MOST of Avid's users. Being egotistical doesn't make any...

    cinematography Best Focal Length for Footchase

    I'm not a huge camera person... but I'd suggest the 24 most likely. It's wide enough to the point you might not end up getting any of the a7sii's rolling shutter if you frame it right. I find 14 just silly...

    Wait, you edit in Resolve?... Uh.... I'd say Resolve is a far ways off from being an editing competitor... ----------------------- OP, as I assume you can't afford Avid, get Premiere. It's pretty standard among indies, tons of places to look for help and YouTube videos.

    editing Question about starting out as a colorist

    Hey, I also graduate from film school in May... And I'm a colorist... An intern in our field is sometimes called a Junior Colorist, you're the apprentice to someone who has been doing it for years. So it's not really about finding a specific coloring house, but finding an experienced colorist...

    Product of Advanced Post-Production I

    Haha... At the start of lab he recapped the basic effects and went onward to more advanced ones like Time Warping and audio Time Shifting. This... Was me ignoring what he was saying and playing with the deer footage.

    lighting Films to watch for best lighting

    Ehhh I'd have to disagree. The lighting only seems natural in mainstream movies because we watch them. There is nothing natural about it. It's not how day-to-day life is lit. If you were someone who watched film noir beyond the casual person trying it out, once again the best lighting would be...

    What to do when frustrated or upset?

    It's very true. The thought of getting sued, generally makes people not do things that could get them sued. :D Plus even if you did send a small claims lawsuit to them.. they'd most likely just settle knowing they were wrong and not wanting to pay for the small claim + your legal fees, as we...

    What to do when frustrated or upset?

    Also... You're the editor? Why did you send them a usable export? Should have put a watermark through the entire thing. Only provide an export without some kind of watermark once you've got your full payment. Include that in a contract as well, so they know right from the start that they...

    cinematography Can I use Hyperdeck Shuttle recorder with Canon t3i?

    You've been mislead by a marketing term. Sure it's uncompressed... Uncompressed 4:2:2. That's not even a logical notion as 4:2:2 is a factor of compression. Also this records QuickTime files... I'd recommend selling it. Shuttle 2 does have some value on the bright side.

    cinematography Can I use Hyperdeck Shuttle recorder with Canon t3i?

    Your DSLR shoots 8bit. Using your Hyperdeck, you can transcode to DNxHD or ProRes in 10bit. That doesn't make your footage 10bit, but it does make it so when you color grade, you can make those more subtle changes and not worry about them getting destroyed when you export. Also... you seem...

    What to do when frustrated or upset?

    I get over it and move on. This is an industry of crooks trying to make a dime. Have everything in legal documentation, sue the shit out of him if he doesn't pay. If you don't want the hassle, just get over it and remove them as a contact (/resourse) because they are trash.

    lighting Films to watch for best lighting

    Like good editing, you shouldn't notice the lighting in a film. Do people realize the goal is to suspend belief? That being said... Lighting in Hollywood is pretty on point. I can give you a list of any Hollywood films and the lighting will be good. It's only once I give you a list of indie...
