    Wow, what an enormous amount of work...lots of shots, lots of editing. You produced a very interesting video with very little to work with. The pacing and length of your shots was just right, and your use of transitional effects was great. Congratulations. It;s a long song but you somehow...

    Is it possible to get an intership as a high School student?

    Keep your eyes open for a "Production Assistant" position. There are usually several production assistants working on a film project or in a television station. You probably won't see the word "intern" in any of the ads. An internship is normally arranged through a school, and is not...

    Post a Production Pic

    RE: "The Vernonia Incident" shot in 16mm. This project was shot way back in 1989. I used an old TV News camera called an Auricon, which recorded sound directly onto the film as it was being shot. There was a magnetic sound stripe on the side of the film. After the Ektachrome film was...

    editing My Parents are messing with my skills!

    Think of their footage in terms of "narration without pictures". First you edit the narration into a logical sequence, taking out all of the pauses and dead spots. You could also consider recording and adding you own narration to theirs. After you've edited all of the narration together, you...

    misc Head Cleaner for DV Deck

    Cleaning tapes are very abrasive (like sand paper) and should not be over used. They WILL ruin your playback heads if over done. If you don't see any picture breakup when you play your archive tapes, don't use the head cleaning tape. You don't need to clean your heads before every tape transfer...

    We downloaded it. It's a tremendous editing system with all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, it is so powerful that it freezes our computer, so we had to delete it.

    I almost made a feature?

    We have done several no budget feature films, and I fell into the habit of padding them with shots and scenes that were too long so that I would have a feature. They ran 75-90 minutes. A couple of years ago I decided to re-edit them the way that they should be edited, and I ended up with films...
