First of all...WHAT? I love V for Vendetta! lol. Anyway, I too am British. Based in 'Gods own county' in the stunningly beautiful city of York. Now i'm done with the tourist advert i can tell you that although we don't have a whole lot of 'industry' up here in the north east, York itself has a...

Well first of all i'd like to say thank you to everyone for all the advice. Secondly i'd like to apologise for staring up the ol' Mac vs PC war. The compatibility is a pretty major issue i must admit as most of the guys i'm regularly working with edit on Mac's and i think being able to drop...

Possibly not, I wanted a Mac because its what i've been using for about a year now as its what my business partner uses and we collaborate on most projects. I just assumed for compatibility reasons it would be easier. I may be wrong.

Hello all you lovely people! I had a quick look on the search and found some useful things but nothing relating specifically to my question which is simply... Which iMac do i buy? I've just started doing more freelance work and am looking to get an editing system that will be able to handle a...

This has been an eye opening post! Thanks all round guys!

That looks very interesting. I'm very interested in hearing any problems anyone encountered along the way and how/if they fixed them. Does it suffer from much shake or is it pretty solid? Cheers mate. Great looking Jib!

Hey guys, Time Wasters is a web series set in York (UK) which follows the adventures of 3 guys stuck in time as they try to make their way home while also having to evade the Bureau of Unauthorised Time Travel that's trying to hunt them down. Here is just the trailer for the first episode...

Hello guys, I'm looking in to making my own home made Jib which i can extend up to a 5m crane. So what i was wondering was whether any of you had any experience making them and if so could offer up some advice on areas of it that might be difficult/ materials to use etc. Any help will be...

Moving back the the original question i'd recommend that you first read some screenwriting books. They can give you some great insight and advice and really help you along the way. It will at least make the decision whether or not you need school or not easier to make. I'd read, Syd Field Blake...

They are bike parts too actually. Just nice new ones i got from Halfords. The ends of them are pretty special though as they unscrew to hold a little tool kit. I custom made this one to fit my shoulder but the rails you can buy are always between 14" and 16" in length and exactly 60mm apart...

I think the problem with the bolt issue in the UK is that when we switched from imperial to metric the thread size changed with it making them more difficult to get hold of... i may be talking complete bollocks though.

Hey guys, I managed to find a bolt off a really old tripod that i found kicking around which has worked like a charm but i still think i'll take your advice and drill another hole without a thread. Its still not quite finished as i need to counter balance it more at the back although i should...

I was at that 2DL screening and voted for you! Thought you should have won everything to be honest although i have to say the film that won probably was 2nd best in my opinion. My film just missed the shortlist sadly. It was pretty awful though. Didn't make the deadline this year either sadly as...

I made it from two 1.5" wide 1.5mm thick sheets of steel that i bonded together. I was worried it would be too flexible and bouncy buy it turned out pretty well. Still need to counter balance the back a little more though. Still trying to find the best solution for it. How about you? What was...

Thank you that does make sense. I'm trying to mount it to to a shoulder support system i've made but the plate i'm attaching it to has a screw thread already going through it but the bolt i currently have isn't quite long enough to safely secure the camera. Seems i need a whitworth bolt which is...

yeah, the mount thread thanks. Went down to B&Q but they didn't have anything,looks like i'll be hitting the internet for 1 bolt, jeez. The Z1 is just a Sony prosumer camera. Thanks for the info tho! :)

Hello everyone, I was hoping that someone could tell me what size/type of bolt i need to screw directly into the bottom of my Z1. Cheers, Jonny

Actually i tell a lie, it was angled aluminium not steel :)

I've not got one with me and i'm not at home 'til sunday to take one. Its very simple however! It's just a piece of right angled steel which i drilled in to and attached the wheels with 'Partially Threaded hex bolts' a few washers, home made spacers made from some plastic tubing and away you...

Here is the Dolly I made, works great, very smooth, and only cost me about £20. Very simple design, anyone could do it. Only took a few hours too!
