What happened to IT? Couldn't log on for days and now some good advice from this thread is gone...

Thanks. I have already blown you first piece of advice. It is not too late to disband the team I have formed (I'd just lose the entry fee) -- but I thought that it might be better to have control of things if my young son was involved. I'll think more about this point. Because in addition...

This year I wanted to join a team in a 48hr film project competition, and the nearest one to me is about two hours from where I live. It starts July 25th. Then my 12 year old son found out about it and wanted to have a major role in doing one. I have always wanted to produce something that I...

I live in KY, and I would love to learn from others. I have no real experience or insights to offer to others, though. I have some equipment, but my day job (often 80-hr a week day job) is not at all film related, and doesn't leave me much time to really learn from doing. It is also hard for...

If you want to make the car look like it is approaching faster, get as close to the walker as possible and shoot with a wider lens. As it stops, you can cut to a shot from behind the car from far, far away using a longer, telephoto lens to make it appear as though the car got closer to the guy...

Ooooooh, thank you SO much for the head's up about those with great BTS content. I know I could learn from watching anything, but there are only so many hours in the day, so it is great to prioritize those that have valuable content!

Thanks, one and all. These are fantastic suggestions and explications. Much appreciated, indeed.

Thanks, this is great input!

I liked Primer, Man From Earth, Timecrimes, Memento, and Moon. Are there other moderately budgeted indie-type movies I might enjoy, that have a similar sci-fi bent or films that tell the tale in an usual way? I'm thinking mainly about movies that don't require million dollar special effects or...

Also, check out "The Man from Earth" (2007).

What has Wyatt done besides Rise? I haven't seen it... In part because I just didn't want see the Conquest/Watts Riot era to be "reimagined" out of cultural memory. But if Craker thinks he can deliver action with emotional substance and smart social commentary-- then I guess I need to watch...

I really liked the way the kid on the bike was framed without leading space as he pulled away... he was slipping away from us, and you felt it.

Awesome!

When I first read this thread, I thought you were going for an angle where the audience TOTALLY identified with the protagonist 100%, and then the hero does something acutely tragic and the audience FEELS that gut-wrenching regret, pain, and torment along with the main character. That sounded...

I finally got the right driver installed to make the small jog/shuttle dial work on my Bella, and yes it is more convenient but in hindsight my money could have been better spent elsewhere.
