:thumbsup: I don't want to discuss the last movie I saw because it's shitty. The last movie I've seen that is worth recommending is Lion. I think it might be a little over-hyped as a Best Picture nominee, but it's emotionally affecting, and surprisingly breezy.

How ironic that I, of all people, would someday come to the defense of H44. There's way too much negativity in this thread, and I ain't havin' it. Y'all are about to make me proll you again. Just because somebody asks a question, that doesn't mean you have to answer it. If your only answer...

*Fixed it for 'ya. ;)

Much too common, in my opinion. Dear God, please don't do that. All of the literal references to time (clocks, calendar, etc) are ridiculously cliche and the mark of a freshman film student. There are other ways to show the passage of time. For your scenario, my first thought is to go with...

I don't want to hijack the thread, but yes and yes. To an extent, at least. And for the record, I didn't take the "cheap" comment as any kind of slight. :)

Aww, thanks for the endorsement, G-Bike! It's all relative. 200 bucks ain't "cheap", when you have no job, no permanent residence, and are travelling cross-country via greyhound. :D

What a fortunate coincidence! There are many reasons why I fee like I'm the ideal person for this job. I'll PM you. :)

First of all, let's dispense with mundane talk of specific shots that one may or may not need. Every production is different and they all have different needs. What we really need to talk about here is coverage. I am a fan of maximum coverage. And that would of course mean that you get a...

I don't like it. The actors I prefer to work with take time to get into their characters. Their actions and emotions are internalized, well in advance. Rehearsal is so much more than just memorizing lines, and some of the most important work is put in when the actors are reading te script to...

I have to ask - is the weight loss absolutely necessary?

:lol: Then how did it end up on my front page?!

I feel like we're making much ado over nothing. 30FPS dropped into a 24FPS timeline is just fine. Filmmakers might notice that something is off. Non-filmmakers won't know the difference. Go on with your bad self and mix those formats!

She is one with the Force.

The good news is that there's actually a happy-middle between the arguments put forth by D-rik and G-bike. Alan Smithee has done quite well for himself. If I were ever to find myself in a similar situation, I think I would grit my teeth and bear it out, while also negotiating with the producer...

These are all really good ideas. Thanks!

Yeah. I'm really looking forward to it! There'll be a vlog. :D

Update: When I first posted this, I knew nothing of what I'd be doing at the (renamed) Women's March on Washington. All I knew was that I was definitely going and I'd be bringing my camera. My plans have developed, are solidifying, and I've got some good friends nearby who are taking part...

:lol: It's true though. All that matters is that your cast/crew are all on the same page, and it's not that complicated to achieve this. On my tiny-budget films, I usually just want to confirm that both camera and audio are rolling. On rare occasion I might have to call for "quiet on the set"...

I think 3D TV is dead. That's good for Hollywood. I don't know that 4K is a "gimmick"; I think it's just the next logical step in technological advance. Hi richy! :hi:

In my opinion, in order for a feature to affect an audience, every scene needs it's own tension, it's own arc. Every scene needs to be treated like a short film. Your audience isn't going to care what happens ten minutes from now if they don't care what's happening right now.
