It's hard to tell sometimes with downloaded clips, but it looked pretty good to me. I really liked the bathroom lighting. On some of the scenes though, it looked like there was a little too much shadow, and the lab was a little dark. Nice job though. Chris

:welcome: Nice video...I think you beat me out in the Back to the Basics Documentary challenge...if not it was another "Urban climber". I'd have a hard time with the stairs in the first part of the video! Forget everything else! Chris

Nice job Will!

CHANCES are that you could do it and shoot it with just a notification to the Police before you shoot. So probably other than the normal expenses, it would cost you nothing. But you might call the local authorities and ask them. Doing it in NYC or LA is different than Vancouver. Laws are...

Nice work NexRL. I agree with IndieTalk. My only criticism would be pointed at the story. Chris P.S. Sorry it took me so long to see and respond...I had planned to when you first posted, but put it on the back burner, and obviously forgot to turn it on!

:welcome:

Hey Dave...don't mind the Zen behind the curtain. :) Welcome!

Knightly, you beat me to the punch (or keyboard). I agree with you entirely. To add a little to it...what happens to the camera after you've done that? If it's a Prosumer that counts minutes, and somebody does check it, they can't sell it as new with 100 hours on the drum or whatever. So you...

I've got to agree with a lot of MacV's comments. Unless the real bullying at school isn't THAT real, how would beating the bully in his dreams fix his problems? I'd consider taking out the dreams (which is a major change, I know), and making the dream sequences his reality. When he beats...

That's the beauty of writing...you can end it any way you want. I think that I'd give this a shot: After the military gives the scorched earth policy to the on site leader, the unit works their way in killing everyone they see. As they work their way through, one of the soldiers has a weapon...

This comes up about once a week here, Jake, so you're not alone. Do a search in Indietalk, and you'll find a lot of good information. Last year I sold my GL-2. It's a good camera, but no HD. If you want to have your camera last into the future, I'd suggest getting something with HD...

I watched it. A couple of things: I didn't really like the interview with your head in the middle of the shot...I'd go for a closer shot with the top of your head at the top of the shot, and your chest at the bottom of the shot. You could have been a little more animated. You sounded (and...

I've used two camera set ups on interviews. As Will said, you can arrange them so they don't 'see' each other. It gives you an extra audio to work with just in case, and saves a ton of time. B and H photo is a great place to look for equipment. They provide full information and good photos...

How to deal with rejection and criticism. :)

I agree with what I think Zen said...shoot all the angles, and use them all...or decide after you've shot it which one you like. I'd go with all three. I'd include close ups of the injury, and the phone which would truly show the hill to climb (injury) and the goal (phone), and then his face...

WOW, you beat me to the punch! SonnyBoo has so much good information on his site, and so many freebees. SonnyBoo is a regular here horses, though I don't think I've seen him for awhile. As for your specific issues, you might have some problems, less with the audience (I'd have everyone...

Welcome! You're in the right place for what you want, as I'm sure you already know! Chris

I think a lot of low budget films, are transferred to film from digital. So it's made digitally, and after production is done, the final is transferred to film. When I looked into that, it was about 20 to 30 grand to do that, so not really low budget in that respect. One thing that you need...

Most film festivals will accept a DVD for submission (I believe Sundance is one that requires film). One of the best sites for festivals is Withoutabox. They will tell you what the various festivals accept and not accept. http://www.withoutabox.com/ As for your last question, "Is there...

I'm not in LA so I can't help you there, but I'd build a set before I looked for an elevator. The best you'll probably get is an elevator in an abandoned building, or a real elevator during the hours of 2 AM to 5 AM. Depending on how long you're going to need it, I'd go with building one like...
