What we did for a student film last semester that required security camera footage was cut out green construction paper to fit snugly in the "security cam" (actually a small tv monitor), get the shot and simply chroma key the security footage in post. Simple and effective, but you do have to be...

All the good CA film schools are expensive, but besides UCLA, USC, Chapman, Cal Arts, and Loyola Marymount are all well known for having great programs. I'm sure there's more but those are the ones that come to mind.

The Last Broadcast - 7/10 Gripping film until the last ten minutes. Best known as a predecessor/influence of Blair Witch, although it's really quite different in a lot of ways. Very, very atmospheric, creepy mock-doc that did a very good job of building tension and suspense...until the end...

Oh okay, that makes sense. My headphones are $25 Sennheiser 201. http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD201-Lightweight-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B0007XJSQC Probably not great but they came free with my VMP so it's the best I can do right now. I definitely won't be mounting the VMP on camera. The...

Thanks a lot for the advice. I do have headphones, by the way, albeit not great ones, but they'll work. I'm not quite sure where the $325 figure came from (the CX211 is $189), but if I am going to spend some more money on audio in the near future, would it be best to get a better recorder like...

Here is a link with an example of what I'm going for. http://cheesycam.com/canon-t3i-juicedlink-ds214-rode-videomic/ Any input from you experienced audio guys would be appreciated.

I have a question about recording audio to the t3i. I searched the forums here but couldn't find a specific answer for my situation. So, I just purchased a t3i, Rode Videomic Pro and boom pole a few weeks ago, as an upgrade from my previous gear. I understood going into the purchase that it's...

Yeah, that shaky cam was pretty rough...and that was with image stabilization on. Well, the audio was recorded with an Sennheiser XLR shotgun mic (not sure of the model, it's the school's) on a boom pole. That's about all I can tell you about how the audio was recorded. :blush: Again, I know...

Thanks. I think the story was pretty good; nothing groundbreaking but I am happy with how the script turned out. The film was shot entirely during like 2-3 hour periods in my film production class, so casting age-appropriate actors wasn't really a possibility. I'm more concerned with the story...

Anyone? Would really appreciate some feedback...

I'd love it if someone would take a look at my new short film. It was for my Digital Film Production class at my local community college. We had the entire 15 week semester for pre-production, production and post-production of one short film. I was the writer/director and co-edited with the DP...

DO THE RIGHT THING- has a slew of bonus features, including: commentary with Spike Lee, Joie Lee, the DP Ernest Dickerson, and the production designer Wynn Thomas; interview with the editor; press conference footage from Cannes; behind the scenes footage; and two documentaries- one is on making...

Well, I'm not a premiere member, but as a high school student considering film school, I'm certainly interested in her experience, as doing the PA thing is pretty much the first thing most people do after film school. So, if I may ask, what happened? :huh:

Hi everyone, I know this is a film forum, but I have a question and I'm hoping the software experts on here could point me in the right direction. I'm in my third year in my high school's video production class. We have a new teacher this year and unfortunately he's not very broadcast-savvy...

You're tearing me apart, Lisa! I've only seen Youtube clips, not the full movie, but wow. It's bad. I just moved it up to the top of my Netflix queue.

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing it! I'll be doing my first 72-hour film project in October, and I'm already excited about it.

Congratulations! I'm looking forward to when I "graduate" for lack of a better word, from doing shorts to attempting a feature. Congrats again!

Hahaha! That was great.

Agreed.

I really enjoyed Inception, but I don't really understand why some people think it's a mind-blowing masterpiece. To me, it was more of a kick-ass action/heist flick than anything else. I would have preferred a more in-depth study of the subconscious, and dreams in relation to reality. I still...
