directing Who here is making a movie or short film?
I am in the middle of writing a couple of different scripts/series. I am also brainstorming a couple of ideas for a Christmas themed short (one that would be really short). Someone on my team has a rough outline for a series based upon a haunted Native American mask (my understanding is that...- OddGinger

directing Who here is making a movie or short film?
What do you mean by movie? Most people consider only feature length (maybe that's not the case on this board...but ask your neighbor). Are you wondering about shorts also? And what part of the process (pre-, pro-, post-)?- OddGinger

How Long Before You Felt You Were Doing A Good Job?
This past weekend I was DP for a pretty intense psychological film. I have worked with the director before so I started off pretty comfortably. We have produced some pretty quality work before; nothing great but some very solid work (some better equipment would help, but we work with what we...- OddGinger

suggestion Member Interaction
I think some people feel overwhelmed and aren't sure what they can contribute to the conversation. I don't think a forum is as easy a place as a comment section to simply say congratulations or I enjoyed the work. Maybe that's just me...I don't know. I often want to interact more here but I am... -

Nothing was bad but nothing was great, either. It was a solid work. Clear cut story, quality visuals. I enjoyed watching it. -

lighting How do you think they lit this Blade Runner scene?
Pretty much what @sfoster said. Look at Harrison Ford's eyes, they give away the answer. The lighting on the front of his face is almost directly ahead of him but just slightly down and to the left. It appears they didn't even change setups for each individual shot. They may have just turned off...- OddGinger

marketing Lesson Learned Post
I enjoyed seeing the ungraded screen grabs. I thought it looked really cool. The project as a whole looks cool. Admittedly, I am not a Reddit user, but from what I know, you can either score big over there or get crushed depending on the first few users commenting; every one after pretty much...- OddGinger

Upfront payment vs percentage of film proceeds
I don't even understand how you could think to offer points on a short film. A feature? Sure. I doubt most departments would go for it. Admittedly, my experience is only doing shorts, but there are only a couple of people that I am willing to work on a feature for points. If I don't know you...- OddGinger

Really impressive! As equally impressive as the camera work is the work of those who was throwing the blood all over everyone and not making it look haphazard. Is there footage of all the BTS work? -

service Feedback On Device For Cinematic Distribution
I watched your video explaining your device. I don't understand how your device guarantees there won't be a recording device at the other end of the hdmi cable. How do you know that a person wouldn't use a splitter? -

archived-videos To Wander Ros Cala | A Fantasy Short Film
It may not be perfect, but it is a pretty strong extremely low budget fantasy film. I will add that it was of a high enough quality that I subscribed to your channel so I can see what's next. Are you going to explore this world more, or are you moving on to new ideas? -

archived-videos My Group's First Completed Short
The house is my DP's house so I knew what we were getting into. I mostly just complemented things in post grading. We removed things from the walls to give a slightly empty feel like someone had taken things that should have been there and made sure to leave bottles and garbage lying next to the... -

@CelticRambler Thank you for the input. Sorry about the credits length. I used the built in credits creator in Vegas. I couldn't figure out how to make it go quicker. They were also a last second addition since I decided to put it out there for others to see. As for the door, I think you are... -

archived-videos My Group's First Completed Short
Thanks! That is a bit difficult to answer. I originally wrote the script a year ago in about 10 minutes. It was meant for my DP to use as a practice shoot (he has experience as a sound guy). He wasn't ever able to get a small crew to help him and so it just sat around unused. I, eventually, sat... -

What follows is our first completed short together. I am hoping to get some feedback and critique from people who are not friends and... -

With a new IndieTalk, I figured I should start a new profile. I have been here before just under a different username. I prefer to lurk and read but I will try to be better about that this time. I recently started to shoot with a new crew which is mostly comprised of people that have little to...
