The reason I am looking for a way to run Windows on Mac is because I am not going to get a Windows based computer. Period. I just got this iMac and I am wanting to go into web design. The class that is required is Windows based. I asked what my options were, my instructor said get a version of...

.....hmm.....Soooo.... instead of getting the Parallels Virtual Machine, you are suggesting that I get Parallels "Run Windows On Your Mac". Will I be able to run Adobe Creative Suite with this program? :huh: -- spinner :cool:

AND..... My instructor has suggested to the class, that we all get an MSDNAA account, which I hope to have up and running next week. Already talked to the guy who sets them up for my college. Yay! New software!! -- spinner :cool:

My instructor is a good guy. I plan to go and sit down with him and talk about classes and possible employment avenues for when I am done with school. He isn't expecting me to go and spend alot of money on the college. Parallels was his suggestion to my "is all this stuff going to work on my...

Well, I really don't know..... These are my FIRST computer classes. I am just figuring out HTML and XHTML. (not much to figure for the difference) But since I am a beginner, I don't know what I can or can't do. -- spinner :cool:

I do trust my instructor's recommendation, that isn't a problem. What is a problem is that I have NO MONEY. (c'mon! I'm a filmmaker. You think I have any money???:lol: ) The Parallels version, as per my instructor, is the one I would like to purchase. PURCHASE being the issue. I can find it on...

Hi All! I have recently decided to go back to school and get some computer training. I will be taking some web design classes eventually but I am starting off with HTML classes. The classes are set up for Windows. Which brings me to my issue: I have a iMac, but it has been recommended that...

Yeah, but that won't look good in the film. Maybe I should just uninstall it..... -- spinner :cool:

You should get a smoke machine. I don't know when you intend to shoot your film, but a smoke machine around Halloween will only set you back about $30. -- spinner :cool:

One of the things people who are shooting a film forget is that actually getting it shot is a triumph! These suckers are notoriously difficult to do even under the best of conditions. I sympathize because I had a shoot that was taken over by Murphy's Law and it is so depressing when it happens...

Thanks from me too! I had forgotten how to do that! -- spinner :cool:

This is what I was going to say. You can't show something that wasn't shot, so if you need to show someone going out a door, you can decide not to use the action of him going out the door, but if he doesn't do it and you need it, you're screwed. I am editing a short right now and there are a...

Hi all!:hi: Has anyone had any experience with the free plugins downloads from Noise Industries? I downloaded what I thought was the free downloads about a year ago. Now that I would like to use the plugins, everything has a watermark on it. These are supposed to be the free ones. I thought...

Oops! Sorry! Final Cut Pro. -- spinner :cool:

Yes, I have enough handle room. -- spinner :cool:

I have a little project where I need a simple page peel. I will be taking a picture and having it turn like a page. I know how to make the effect happen, however.... Just before the effect happens, there is a glitch that makes the picture smaller for a second, then the effect happens. How do I...

There are LOTS of films that do this, I just saw a CSI: New York tv episode do it. I think it builds urgency in a film. You can see it in many of the new grittier films like Smokin' Aces. I like it.... I wonder if I could figure out how to do it.... -- spinner :cool:

That's a good piece of equipment advice! I'm glad I saw this. Can I do the same for my video camera? What cables would I need? -- spinner :cool:

Before you buy Final Draft, take a look at CELTX. It's a free program, I know A LOT of people using it. I know Final Draft is what many people will suggest to you, but look at CELTX anyway. I plan on getting it in a few days, hopefully with all the extras. The program is free, but there are some...

It's hard out here for a filmmaker :D If she is just out of school, then she should probably consider an internship somewhere. Possibly try to find work as a p.a. or something. The suggestion of going to a television station is a good one, she might try there because even though she wants to...
