I'm editing my first wedding video, I'm planning on editing a short 4 minute summary version that would also go on my website, so obviously I would 100% have to purchase the license for the song I use. That's fine. However I'm also editing a feature length(probably 1 hour) version of their...

I'm having big problems importing .mxf files into adobe premiere. I've copied the entire folder from the CF card to my HD, I didn't modify the folders in any way. The files come in their own individual folders so I have to import the files one by one, but when I do only the audio imports...

Working with composers is something I've struggled with as a director, a few times the music they composed didn't match my vision for the film. What sort of information do you want the director to give you before you compose music for them?

Canon really? Damn I thought it looked too good for a canon dslr. To be fair though he's an actor from Twilight and the star of 21 and over, so I'm sure he's got his connections and lots of resources :P

Sorry to hijack this thread, I just wanted to ask, do you guys think this was filmed with a GH2/or GH3 or was it filmed with something even better? It's clearly not a canon dslr, it seems to have that lovely dynamic range the Panasonic's have and strong colours...

Incredible film, very frustrating story as well. Looking forward to the next one.

Is that The Met Film School your talking about? www.metfilmschool.co.uk It sounds like you've described London Metropolitan University :P

I actually managed to buy a second hand Ianebeam 800w redhead light(made in germany) for £35. On it's own I can probably use it for photoshoots bouncing off a reflector. When another one pops up and I have money I can slowly complete my set of 3 lights. It's definitely a very hot light, when I...

I was under the impression the Marantz would be better than both of the other two. Looks like I'll just go with the Dr-40 then, thanks!

No worries, It's not like I'm forcing you to give your opinion. I just got annoyed at how the guy seemed to take offence to me just explaining the style of film I was going for with the static shots and the fact that I disagreed with a few of his points. It's not like I said "no your wrong...

Any opinions on this machine for short film work? I've used it for a short film and thought it worked great, I've seen people saying that the preamps are a bit noisy but I honestly didn't notice. Battery life is a bit weak but manageable. I'm looking to buy one instead of a Tascam dr 40 and...

For the opening shots, do you think a light coming from the left(the window) would have worked? Maybe try and recreate moon light? Not that moon light would ever be that strong but do you think that would work? Bit annoyed at my lighting people now. Are handheld walk and talk shots a total...

I'd like it if you didnt bother watching any of my work if those are the types of replies I'm going to get from you brother. I happily take on criticism as long as it's constructive and not biased by your own taste. I justified all my points and explained how we have different taste, so if...

Thanks dude. The blacks being washed out, is that to do with my colour grading or should we have thrown in more light into the shot?

You hate tripod shots? Wait what? Well if your style is more fluid/always moving camera style then fair enough that's your taste. But personally I'm more a fan of still shots combined with some moving ones every now and then. That's just my style. Films like Hunger(steve mcqueen), Lady Vengeance...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMr0kAjS0M8 Hi, here is a vampire short film I recently completed. It's my second short film I've done with sync sound dialogue. It's set to unlisted as I wish to keep it private until I've given it a run at film festivals. Let me know what you guys think and...

Damnit, hopefully someone outbids me for that Zoom H4N so I can get the Tascam DR 40 instead lol. Instead of getting another extension cable(I already have a 3 meter one) I'd rather get an external recorder so the boom person can stand closer to the subject and we don't have to worry about the...

Heya, I normally do Directing but I want to increase my knowledge in lighting. Can you guys recommend me a good book for beginners that will teach me all the basics of film lighting? Something really simple with lots of pictures would be ideal, if it's just a massive book of words and...

Well the Rode Videomic is boomed and attached to a 3m extension cord which plugs into the camera. The cord isn't that long so when its plugged into the camera it's a bit limiting in where the mic can be. Especially if its a wide shot. I may be able to get a 2nd hand Zoom H4n for £110 which is...

Hi, I'm looking to get an external sound recording device. It will mainly be used for promo videos and short films. I know it's nowhere near as good as something like a Marantz or a Dr100 but right now I just record all my sound through my dslr mic input with magic lantern installed and a Rode...
