Interesting article about Robert McKee. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=081121170741.j5bwwr8h&show_article=1 Chris

I'm thinking the c-cup is the rubber cup around the viewfinder that protects your eye. I don't know of anything else that's called a cup on a camera. Chris P.S. I bet you did Zen...I bet you did.

Maybe you need to start a little smaller...do a small production of a short. Get a feeling of what happens and what you can handle, and then you can ramp it up as you go along. Here's another book you might look at: The Complete Film Production Handbook, by Eve Light Honthaner Good luck. Chris

Willkommen auf IndieTalk Matt! Chris

Spinner...I think that one of the important things to do is question the owner...if you hear any lies, don't buy. Things like, so why are you selling it? What did you use it for? How long have you owned it? Has it been secured in a case during travel? Has it ever been dropped? How many...

Hey I resemble that remark! Welcome both of you (alright...welcome Twitch, sebby can bite me! :))

Extra batteries and a shotgun mike are really important to have. The second camera is important too...usually a cheap one. I always like running both at the same time from different angles...you never know when you need a second shot, and it's nice having it just in case. Sometimes you can...

Spinner...$30 Film School by Michael W. Dean. It gives a pretty good overall look at Film making. I probably have others, but I've got to look around and find them! Chris P.S. Have fun! Some that I've not read but were recommended here or by others and are on my "wish list" on Amazon...

Sounds to me as you've thought about the whole thing, and are working in the right direction. A lot of the gear issues are opinions...pick what's best for what you want to do (and there are plenty of threads already on site that you can reference...use the search function). Scriptwriting is...

What Rik said...but to add, I'd work from the start, and go to the finish. In other words, do you have a good idea for a feature? If you do, do you have the money or financing to see it to the end? Do you have access to the actors to do it? Do you have the places to shoot and time to shoot...

Update: They responded and took my word for the copyright issues related to the photos I used, but questioned the music. I responded, but no word back yet. Since I know also that my music is not copyrighted, I sent C*R*A*P, Tempist FIdget, and The Fig Garden's trailer. We'll see what...

Good stuff! The only thing that I could say that you might have left out is a little more wide shots. It seemed as if most of the shots were closeups. Other than that, I thought that it was very nice. Chris

Try this site for film schools... http://www.filmschools.com/?WT.srch=1&WT.mc_n=edu_google_film_gs_filmgbrdss_200609&s_kwcid=film%20making%20schools|1542143973 From Conn you have New York schools that have some great film schools. But, there is a great deal of debate on film schools...some...

I sent them my docs, and they didn't approve one of them. They said that I used copyrighted material, which is not true, as anything that wasn't mine was public domain. I emailed them that, but they haven't responded. Chris

Twang...slow down and take a breath. First of all, you're about 6 months late for the rodeo...the credit card companies have tightened the ropes very tight. You'll be lucky if you can get a card at all. Try borrowing your schools equipment. Do it during Winter break, when no ones around to...

Welcome Anne! Chris

Sounds like a really good story to tell. Just be ready for Political answers and legal answers. You may have to prove the guys interview is garbage with the other interviews. Good luck though, it sounds as if you have a winner there! Chris

I'd consider the ME-66 with the K-6 power module. Your camera should be able to record with that with no problem. If you do have any audio problems, you should be able to adjust your camera's audio to make it right. There are more tech savvy people on the site who might be able to give you a...

Doing research before you commit to the project is a wise move to make. I wanted to do a documentary on a guy who was in jail too, and my research showed me that someone was already doing it. When I'm ready, I might check with the guy and see "how it's going", but until and unless I find out...

You don't have to go through his attorneys...he probably should though. Based on your questions, I'm not sure that he's finished with his court time yet, so your interviews could become evidence, but that's his decision to make. But if his lawyers are involved, you can be sure that they'll...
