Stoopid newbie question of the day... I know this has been asked before, but my searches left me bewildered. This is my first real project. What is the sharpest, least lossy codec we could use for submitting our first project. Our only option for submission is a self-contained Quicktime...

We are 1.5 weeks out from our project. I have met so many new people already just assembling the cast and crew to help. Do post links to you films when you can, and thanks for all the advice.

Does anyone live near KY that has any experience as a gaffer or a boom-op? I am also just going to produce and run camera for this project. I am now opening up the position of Director. So far, we have secured very talented writers, camera operators, a great editor, a good DP, and good...

FYI, I just saw this: http://youtu.be/M1Ozl0yqJ4U

Ask the local producer. Some cities mandate the SD requirement to keep a level playing field. In our city, the SD requirement is viewed more as a "minimum level" and you aren't penalized for exceeding it. It is basically to open it wide up without limiting the competition to those who have a...

I think I just found the motto for the entire project. "Finish on time and try not to end up with a final product which is too crap." Yeh, I can certainly see why people who get paid to this type of thing as a day job don't want to volunteer their time for free under these limiting...

That's (one of the many reasons) why I want to find someone who can do sound design, sound editing, foley/fx, dialogue fix-n-mix, and music. In this area, I don't even know what I don't know. Right now I only own two KRK RP8 monitors, and I have no idea where we will be able to cut since we...

For production sound, I don't yet have any lavs, but I have a sounddevices 702, a sennheiser MKH 50 hypercardiod mic for indoor shooting, and for outdoors I have a rode NTG-3 shotgun. I also have a 9′ boompole, a rode blimp with wombat cover, and a pair of sony MDR-7506 headphones. (Still...

I realize it is oversimplified, but as advice to a total noob, how would you rate the following article? It is not not mine, I just saw it online... http://vashivisuals.com/5-eq-audio-for-video-tips-for-filmmakers/ I am still trying to find someone who can do sound design, sound editing...

The equipment (thus far) that I know I can supply includes: Boom Op/PSM I will provide a Sennheiser MKH 50 hypercardiod mic for indoor recording, and for outdoors I have a Rode NTG-3 shotgun. I have a 9′ boompole, a rode blimp with deadcat, and a pair of Sony MDR-7506 headphones. I have a...

That is hilarious IDOM. And yes, Craker, that's great advice since I'm also trying to cover our bases if we draw Musical.

Rules of the competition state that all team members must be volunteers, so this is a NON-Paid gig-- just food, credit, and a chance to see your work on the big screen. I will pay your contest entry fee. You will also receive one free copy of NewBlueFX's Film Color plug-in (a $59 value). The...

Thanks Josh. I have been struggling with the "keep it simple" advice. If I couldn't find a local composer, I was even thinking of trying to collaborate long distance.

Our team is registered and we have a couple of more actors. I still haven't found a composer or audio post person, but i DID snag an editor. I'm getting excited about this.

Thanks, one and all. I'm in the States. Lexington, KY.

Quick question... are there any rental places online that are shady and need to be avoided? Do any have a particularly solid reputation. Not just a glass place, but if I wanted to get maybe a slider, grids, and a camera. Is ATS, Aperturent, Lensrentals.com, or Trew any good?

Also, thanks for posting your works as well! I don't have sound on this computer, but I have watched them without, and will watch again when I get home with the audio.

I am just trying to sit back and soak in all the advice. I appreciate it and enjoy reading about others' experiences. I've recruited a couple of friends who have been in a few movies, one who acted in movies and tv. Most of all, I appreciate the advice to not push my son to the...
