Documentary style makes you feel as though you are there because the people involved with the story react to "you" because the camera is your POV. Like District 9. Whereas in non-documentary style, it is like you are watching but not "in" the story. Like Lord Of The Rings. Does that help or...

He doesn't have to be likeable, he just has to be interesting. -- spinner :cool:

Well, you are! We're not boneheads here you know! :lol: I might have a story or two.... -- spinner :cool:

It's too bad Eddie Murphy won't be doing it, I thought it was a good choice. But I keep hearing that "he is out", not "he quit". I thought James Franco and Anne Hathaway were fine as hosts. Maybe they weren't fall-out-of-your-chair funny, but they were amusing. Some people said they were...

Get what you can comfortably afford and learn on it. Once you know that you know you want to do this, then worry about an expensive camera. Then if you get a more expensive camera, use the old one for importing mini dv tape or better yet, now you are a two-camera set up! ....start with an...

I met your brother and your grandma! And I know your aunt! She's the best! Mr. Henderson was pretty good! I was so glad you won. I was like "I know him from IndieTalk"! ....can you tell I'm still happy about it all :D Yay Us! -- spinner :cool:

I can't participate, but I am DYING to see what every body comes up with! .....(get it, dying? it's funny because....oh, nevermind).....:D :pop: -- spinner :cool:

I'm definitely going to take a look at the links provided. One of the films I thought was edited in an interesting way was Oxide Pang's "The Tesseract". Here's the trailer: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374273/ I think that the trailer doesn't really give much of an idea of what he did in the...

I have done a number of documentary films and I think my approach is pretty good. I research, organize, write out good questions, shoot and edit my projects and I think I tell a good story. However, I feel that I don't really have a "style" when it comes to making my films visually interesting...

About the language barrier: Yes, the language situation can be a big factor as there are many people who will feel that you should be able to speak english, so while you are in Mumbai, work on it. Also, remember that a RED camera in Mumbai is a RED camera in L.A., so if one of the things you...

I guess you have to go psychological to keep my interest in a horror film. I am over the monsters and slashers and zombies (pardon my zombie commercial :blush: ) I do have a handful of zombie acceptions, so I don't really hate zombies anymore... I tried, Tried, TRIED to watch Near Dark. 20...

Nope. -- spinner :cool: EDIT: ...and you can't afford to pay for it either....

Remember that the actual result of sleep deprivation is hallucinations and lapses in judgement. -- spinner :cool:

Around Halloween I like to sometimes tell people about short films that are Halloween-ish or scary. The last two years I suggested "Vincent", one of Tim Burton's first films. It isn't scary, it is cute. But it has a Halloween theme. I need some more. Anyone have any suggestions? (I tend to...

Halloween III was good up to the ending. It was creepy and I thought it was suspenseful right up to the end. I didn't think the end lived up to the rest of the film. (shrug) -- spinner :cool:

What did you shoot on? -- spinner :cool:

This looks pretty insane, I'm in! You have to keep us posted, I would love to see this! -- spinner :cool:

Thanks, Rik! -- spinner :cool:

Actually, yes. When The Walking Dead did so well in its first season, you know people had to figure out how to capitalize on it. So the guys who create/write the graphic novel re-released the first edition of The Walking Dead. So the proprietor wanted to make sure people knew they could find it...

I have 6 projects on my iMac, only 3 are strictly my projects. I'll be deleting that other stuff ASAP so that my HD does not fill up. I'm almost at a point where I can dump every unnecessary thing out of my PowerBook as well. I'll be sending it out to pasture in a leisurely life of web surfing...
