    archived-videos Feature: "Digits"

    I'm pretty sure the black humor about celebrity deaths and tragic disasters is what kept us out of the festivals. I agree that the runtime is intimidating tho. While the pacing overal could use some work, most people have said that it was mainly good. I think there's only a few scenes that...

    archived-videos Feature: "Digits"

    Yep. It was shot 0 budget lol. It was the first film, with no crew. I had to do all the crew positions. And we had 0 budget for song rights so the royalty free music I had to use was pretty terrible. Past that, and your user name let me know right away you were gonna catch me on it - there is 0...

    lol my flick ain't perfect, but I know it's not crap. I'm thinking the 2 hr run time on YT is what's keeping peeps from watching it. I don't mind constructive criticsm at all tho. Of course, I'm sure there's no much anyone can tell me about whats wrong with the flick that I don't already...

    actor :(

    Haha... yes, that's the one. Sadly, both that and DUTY are stuck on the shelf until myself and my actor / the director can work out our differences. Not sure if we will. - Jow

    actor :(

    Actors are pains in the asses all around. On my feature "Digits" one actress barely showed up on set and was upset when I shot scenes and gave her lines away. She ended up asking for her name to be taken off the movie because it was "too offensive." Another one became a pre-school teacher and...

    Rotoscoping software

    I'd still recommend AE tho. It's super expensive yes, but it's a good investment. There's a LOT you can do with it. - Jow

    actor :(

    Sadly this is one of the unfortunate issues of free work. If he was being paid, had a contract or you had insurance on the filming, then you would be good - one way or another. By not paying, you're opening yourself up to these issues. That's why it's wise to have some money involved, even if...

    my short film poster

    Movie posters should convey a little something about the film and really excite a potential audience member or draw them in. This does neither for me. - Jow

    Composer offering professional scores for your projects

    Excellent work! I'm currently trying to find a composer for a project I'm working on. It's a 30 minute short film that's kind of a dramedy / action genre. The edit, effects, sound and all that are complete - we just need a score. We're working with no budget at all but depending on what...

    My first feature - will it be any good? Was yours?

    Honestly, I launched into my first feature with only film school under my belt. I did the pompous Kevin Smith route where I paid for it entirely myself with a little help from friends and family. I never really had interest in shorts, personally because my mind works on a much more grand...

    What's up from Connecticut!

    Thanks for asking :) The first feature we did was a highschool coming of age comedy. This go around I'll be trying my hand at the horror genre focusing on a young girl trying to protect her little sister over the course of one night of monsters after them. - Jow
