    what is the best way to become a director?

    can be nothing but time, or every scent on you. for example, you could only use props you all ready own, locations that your friends, family, or you own, and borrow a camera and mic. or you could buy everything new, pee on it, then buy it all over again, and pay a few hundred for talentless...

    How to Mesmerizing Your movie viewing Audience ???

    i think it is... a movie that has a large verity of emotional influences, and leaves you wondering, worrying and scarred, through out a majority of the film. in action flicks your all ways thinking (will he make it) unless you are sure you are then its like you are making sure. in dramas it's...

    A few Windows Movie Maker questions...

    Audicity ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ ) using a outside program to do your sound work it typically way better. the above is free and easy too use, i am sure you can figure it out, if not there are plenty that could help you get the sound you want! as for the pixilation, to my knowledge...

    Digital VS Film? Seriously!

    I'll Believe that when they get to IMAX quality. (and that, in my opinion, is going to be a while...). and even after, there is still that quality.... this look that it gives us, that people will go back for, maybe not the really old film cameras, but whats out now.... i doubt that they will...

    the idea wasn't too bad, would have been much better if you had made them appear as light sabers(its actually really easy, even i can do it, just look up some tuts if you don't know how). it could use some work, but with that some, you could make it into a pretty good short!
