    editing Novice editing tips Adobe Premiere - Things I should have known

    Hi all, I would like to share with you the few things I learnt during my first "serious" edition using Adobe Premiere. I'm pretty novice, so I just thought that it would be nice to summarize what I have learnt, and maybe someone can give more tips or learn from my mistakes. Background: Film...

    editing Is this compositing idea going to work?

    If you want to do ghosts then it's really nice. I read that you wanted people to think that you used a green screen and high costs techniques... My green screen costs 10 euros (15 US $), I shoot with a not expensive HD camera, and we even used imovie (free) to swap the background. And it works.

    slo motion in scripts.

    The slow motion part doesn't really add much to a script, even makes it harder to read. Additionally, if someone else is going to direct this, a whole new dimension can be added, and maybe the flying bullets visual effect you describe won't even be interesting.

    archived-videos Monkey Blindness (my personal editing nightmare)

    Thanks, I have updated the link with an improved version with the right framerate. I didn't realised that I had the footage in 60i and not 30p, so that's why it was not so good. But now it should seen more as intended. I used adobe premiere pro cs4, probably too pro for me. Still it allowed me...

    archived-videos Monkey Blindness (my personal editing nightmare)

    This is something that I put together during a day in my holidays. The story was written the same morning, with the intention to be simple and no complex plots... to say something about it. The footage I had was pretty bad as I had to also be helped by children, which means entertain them. And...

    Funny, a bit overdone but innocent and funny. I like the style. Good job. Yes, there are lots of things that could be done better, still a good thing to put it together. Next time work on the script a bit more, maybe get it reviewed by more people to get the feeling of what works and what...

    Docu Idea

    Maybe it would be nice to know about the traditions of each team that you visit. How that city lives the spirit of baseball compared to others. And then film the experiences of the 3 of you. Long documentaries take ages to film and they take a life on their own. Lately the fashion, which I...

    Suggestions for Thailand locations

    Chang Mai offers all that. You can reach with plane or train there. However, filming in the jungle would require quite some hicking and rainproof gear. Still it would allow you any landscape you want. Ko phi phi island will give you the amazing beaches cristal water. You could even rent a boat...

    It's cool. Although it was a bit expected as the character said "she's going to be thrilled" (or something like that) gave away the end, else nice. The acting needed a bit of rehearsing to give it a bit more depth. The girl didn't look as she was really shocked or desperate to get his husband...

    archived-videos Evil Barbie Laughing - Comedy

    Funny the animation, but the guys are laughing at a pan on the fire... Found that odd, and the hand burnt and hitting the door gag are a bit floppy. I like the end though, that was funny in a kinky kind of way :-) It certainly has potential

    Do you ever regreat knowing the process?

    It really depends. Many times I watch movies to enjoy myself, then I become inmerse in the movie and less on technicalities. Sometimes, when the movie is more visual then I really pay attention to some of the techniques used to learnt from it. Other times, it's funny to see mistakes and think...

    archived-videos RAYMOND MAY HAVE RABIES TRAILER

    I like the concept for the movie. Not sure how this will then turn out at the end, but I guess it's watch and will see. It's a bit odd of a trailer, mainly mixing very static filming withe the bath scene. I like the look and the way the actors play.

    Nice website. It would be good if you also published some extracts of your scripts, unless you have sold them already, it's always about quality. I believe that you can register them online, to make sure that you don't lose your rights.

    archived-videos Forrest Parker 2 trailer! 2010 (dark comedy)

    I like the combination of dancing and action. Some cool shots with the car there. On the down side, the acting is quite poor. They seem to be always laughing, which is kind of a downer mainly for comedy. If the actors laugh the public doesn't (clown style). As a trailer it's hard to find out...

    NARRATOR: carrot or stick?

    There are now 2 topics, the 4th wall break, or the break of reality works well in comedies. But that's mainly when the actor talks and looks to the camera. Which I see it as a different thing from a narrator. There are lots of good samples where talking to the camera works, and some that...

    Nice review. Keep them coming. I added a comment on the blog. Creating blogs is one of the most frustrating thing. You need to keep writing and writing, and maybe, only maybe, after some months or years you start getting traffic other than your friends. Having said that, I like the writing...

    I always liked Evil Dead Army of Darkness silly one liners "Good, bad... I'm the guy with the gun" Or in The Heist, I loved the dialog between Danny de Vitto and Gene Hackman - Can I say at least my last words? - You just said them And from Woody Allen "In this house I'm the boss, your...

    Just made my first site, suggestions?

    It's hard to promote on google without paying. Mainly websites hosted on services like that. If you can spare about 35$ a year you can have your own site with a .com name. Usually it's about 10$ for the site name + 25 for hosting... maybe more (check godaddy.com, I used it for my websites)...
