gopro is a bit of a toy in my opinion. Good for those specialised jobs like extreme sports, underwater, etc. But that's it.

Be warned, I've had this rig for a little while and have used it on a few shoots. It's good, especially for the price but it's starting fall apart on me, and I am very careful with all my gear. Just last week during a shoot the rig suddenly(no idea how) lost the ability to lock the quick...

I'm interested in getting into freelance videography/video production, are there any agencies or websites I can look to join?? I have plenty of experience but It's a bit hard just relying on word of mouth to get paying gigs... Can anyone advise me please

Nice, thanks guys. Would it be possible to get an active ef mount speedbooster for the MFT version so I can use my ef lenses? Would the bm pocket cam speedbooster work with the 2.5k? @brunerww Do you know how long the canon ep 06 batteries usually last with the pocket cam? Are they longer...

Any Blackmagic cinema camera owners in here? I'm seriously looking into getting the Blackmagic 2.5k Ef mount. I'm tired of relying on my 6D for filmmaking and having to deal with soft image, bad moire, crap dynamic range and blown out windows in the background of shots. I'll still keep my 6d...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTvjMp0_cDw&feature=youtu.be Keep in mind this hasn't been mixed yet, I just synced the sound to the visuals in premiere and tried to do a little bit of tidying up by upping the volume and trying to make the sound cuts not as obvious with a crossfade. Although...

Preferably Uk based but I'd be interested in other ones too! I know the big ones like Raindance, Encounters, etc...I'd be interested in hearing more about other smaller ones, e.g. Portobello Film Festival. Thanks!

What is the Manfrotto fluid head under £200? (second hand) Right now I'm leaning towards the 502. Or if you know of any better brands in the same price range that's fine as well, as long as I can use it with my Manfrotto tripod legs. Thaaanks :)

Woops sorry when I say sound design specialism, I mean he studied Film production on the same course as me, but specialised in sound. He has done location sound recording as well on some projects. But I'm still gonna try and see if I can find someone with their own sound gear who can help...

Okay please don't shoot me down. I have a Zoom h4n, Rode Videomic+ dead cat with Rode extension cord and a boom pole. I know this set up is far from professional, it's not an xlr mic for a start. But can I still get decent(by Youtube, indie film standards! Not hollywood standard) sound for my...

havent watched the whole thing yet, but nice job! I like to do a bit of self shooting myself as well sometimes, while it's a lot more challenging, it can also be very rewarding as youve got complete creative control.

Everyone has their own way of doing things. As a director do you do your own shotlist or do you leave that to the DOP? Some DOPs want to be in charge of the shotlist, but the way I work I do the shotlist and then hand that to the DOP. I'm the kinda director who relies so much on visual...

I'm 23, didn't realise that about the insurance! I guess I'll just continue to do more video production related stuff, make money and hopefully soon I can get driving lessons. Cheers

Obviously Audiopostexpert is right, but I'm not sure I agree with having that kind of attitude as a beginner. As a newbie you're always gonna make crappy films and that's not a bad thing. That's how you learn, from making mistakes. If getting a camera and learning about cinematography means you...

I'm thinking of applying for some runner jobs, but the problem is I don't drive. I definitely eventually plan to but I just can't afford to pay for the driving lessons yet. Would this go against me? Is it a must have?

So I did this short scene not long ago with an actor friend of mine for her showreel. https://vimeo.com/98182966 We're now working on it to develop it into a full short film. I'm trying to find some good British mystery, adventure, thriller films. I kind of want to go for that old school Steven...

Any opinions if this is a good route to get into the film industry? Ive done quite a lot of corporate videography work, I enjoy doing things like adverts and would happily do them as a full time job. Obviously the dream is to eventually work in film though. I just want to start earning decent...

Ah I see, thanks NTG-1 would be a good one for the future, then I can also invest in a bigger external battery for the H4n

What is a good budget shotgun mic for the Zoom h4n? Something around the price range of the Rode Ntg1 and 2. I hear those two are great mics but do not work too well with the H4n because of the weak phantom power or something along those lines. Or am I wrong about that? What is a good...

I'm looking for some interesting and stylish behind the scenes videos for musicians/artist. This is the only one that comes to mind for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B--ZARCwSIE but I know i've seen plenty of interesting ones usually being advertised on youtube but I can't seem to recall...
