    The Tree of Life

    Saw it a few days ago. The cinematography is amazing. This is a seriously good looking film but I found it excruciating to watch. When I was a kid I used to have a recurring dream that a point of light was moving painfully slow against a black background. So slowly that it was excruciating...

    Orson Welles / David Lean

    There's something very special about Citizen Kane. But if you're looking for more have a go at Touch of Evil.

    The Tree of Life. Visually this film is amazing. Seriously good cinematography. But I didn't enjoy myself and found it excruciating to watch.

    Talent, etc.

    Well the way I've dealt with the question is by working really hard at finding jobs. If you're not prepared to do that then it will probably end up being a hobby for you. Self marketing was well outside my comfort zone but I really wanted to make a living doing the thing I love. Nothing like the...

    And the reason I keep bringing it up is it's so often overlooked. So how many hours a week do you spend promoting yourself and looking for projects? I don't regard myself as a measuring stick but I do around 5 to 10 hours a week and feel like I should do more.

    Talent, etc.

    Well I guess it becomes a hobby when you can't support yourself. The point I'm trying to make is that you need to treat it like a business and that requires working on your business just as much if not more than the music.

    No I don't believe purely hard work will get seccess. You need talent too. But either you don't have the skills or you aren't marketing yourself properly. So how many hours do you dedicate yourself to marketing you.

    Aaron. How many hours a week do you spend looking for more work and promoting your business?

    Most suspenful movie youve seen?

    I was exhausted after watching The Grudge (American version) I spent a lot of energy tightly gripping the arms of the cinema seat. My wife who loves horror thought it was hilarious.

    Harmonica44. Have a look at all the global ads on this site. I think you're sure to find a good fit for your short. No need to restrict yourself to your own backyard.

    sound Using music from other movies.

    Very true chilipie. I did three features last year where I wasn't in the same city as the production. And even more interestingly a doco in which I was in the same city as the director and we met once to say hello at the start and that was it. I've found communication runs very smoothly with...

    Looks good and the acting is good but I found the music to be distracting and bad. Not sure if it's just temp music but it cheapened what was solid work for me. Also make the music sound like it's in the room. Something I suppose you were planing on doing during the mix but though it worth...
