    The security of online outlets(youtube, ect)

    Everything that is on the net can be downloaded. This is the principle that you need to keep in mind. Youtube doens't allow to download other people's movies, but there are software that allow to do it. The same applies to all the other streaming platforms. Regarding copyright issues some...

    Breaking the rules: omitting slug lines

    For me it depends who is your audience on the script. With all the cut INT. part you are doing the editing before the story really flows. You might realize that after filming the cuts can go in different places to make the film flow. From the directors view it might be easier to have the 2...

    In filming, what are you good at?

    I'm good at creating ideas and concepts that are funny or interesting only to me :-) Also I'm a decent clown as actor, not such a good actor though.

    cinematography Processing MY Work

    To me it looks far too dark, but that's just the red over black (or viceversa) it's hard for the eye. Scary though.

    archived-videos Like a Butterfly

    Our film has been censored by youtube... why? I still don't know, I can give many examples of well known films that are present in youtube that are certainly more violent and degrading than this one. Still we can't get hold of youtube to get an explanation. It just got removed. Still it can be...

    archived-videos The dangers of soul migration

    This was just a test to see if it was possible to pass through people for another story. I just setup the camera on 3 situations and improvised what was going to happen, so there's no story line. I used the light as it was, and it was changing rather quick due to being near the evening. So I...

    cinematography Shotgun Mic?

    You have several options. One is to buy something like this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/335809-REG/Beachtek_DXA_2S_DXA_2S_Dual_XLR.html But I thought it was a bit over costly for the end result with a normal camera. We have used a unidirectional microphone with a micro jag, they...

    First Screenplay Idea Some Help Please?

    I think that both ideas are a good setting for a story but they don't have a story in them. Take into account the number of characters, if you only have 5-7 min to tell the story the viewer can't cope with more than 2-3 main characters. Also what is the idea that keep us watching. The fact...

    Filmmaking Vs Paying the bills

    Bills come first, but passion can compensate... and not only bills, but also life. Wife and kids (I don't have kids) demand attention. So if you work like me on a normal business then you need to use the spare time... and they are not so happy that I use week-ends to film or edit. Also it...

    I want to be heard. My free music.

    The music is interesting. Certainly it can be used. The website is a bit overdone for my taste, but i guess it gives the "techno" feeling. If you want people to start using your music widely, I believe that you should allow easy download mechanism and make it very clear that is "free and...

    Wow that is short, still there are some nice looks that I like, and some funny moments. And you spend time on costumes, that's cool too. Well, story telling could be better :-) Did you do white balance? But different chipsets in cameras and quality is noticeable. Else I'm really low in camera...

    free original music

    There are lots of libraries of royalty free music out there. I would suggest that you create a website with samples so people know what your style and capabilities are before asking for help. As example this is one I used previously: http://incompetech.com/m/c/royalty-free/

    It happened again...

    The monitors are restrictive if you don't have anyone to look at it, so yes, then it's just an object. Else it's super useful, but that goes without saying. Next time tape some reflectors... they will see the lights better, doh! If they filmed hand hold, then it's very easy to get mics or...

    Do you want to transfer files from your ipod to your itunes in another PC? If that is the case you need a tool that allows to browse your files in the ipod. There are some tools around that allow you to do that. The problem is that ipod files change name, so it's hard to find the right name of...

    Oh, we finished it. I coudln´t convince our editor (and more) to remove it completely... Lengthy discussion... But finally he removed part of the music, making it work better, mainly being a recurrent theme later on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaJF-diBdL4
