Meh, nobody hates you. We just don't know what you were doing.... Give us an explanation and then we can look at it the way you intend us too. :) -- spinner :cool:

Say for example, you have 10 people playing zombies. Like people have said before, shoot tight. Also, rotate your zombies. If you have four in the front for a number of scenes, make sure you send them to the back or to the sides, so that the ones in the back are upfront and 'different'. This...

Hey, if a Zombie isn't looking at you as lunch, he gets what he wants :D Thanks for the positive feedback. I won't be able to get any instruction on how to fix the audio for a few weeks, but I am sure there are audio guys who might tell me how to get rid of that "talking-into-a-can" sound in...

There were about 3 people working on makeup. There was a person who does some acting coaching give the zombies an idea of how to move. I knew the director and the D.P. The cool thing is that we all knew each other and just felt like helping out. I was lucky and found a group of people who...

Okay, here is the final product of the commercial that aired Sunday. I got to edit. Like I was saying, I was pretty nervous about what I couldn't fix, but I think it's a nice little spot for my first time out. http://youtu.be/xZaM8NDqtYs -- spinner :cool:

Nuh-uh! He said: I'm sure there's one in there somewhere! If you go to Wikipedia and put those musicals in the search, you'll be able to find what songs you might sing and check 'em out on YouTube. I couldn't tell you which one was for a tenor, but most songs from musicals can be...uh...

Pick a musical! A Chorus Line Les Mis Cabaret Oklahoma Guys and Dolls West Side Story Rent Hair Jesus Christ Superstar Godspell Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat ANYTHING by Gilbert and Sullivan There's so much stuff! -- spinner :cool:

You could be right. However, if all you want is a camera for 'paying projects', don't buy one at all. Paying gigs for new people are so few and far between when you are starting out that yes, it would be absurd. But if the OP is actually planning to make the filmmaking thing a serious pursuit...

If all you have is your camera and nothing else, then all you can do is just shoot. If you have a prosumer camera, there should be a neutral density filter setting which is what you use when you are shooting outside. Then you'll have to "eyeball" the look that you prefer once you white balance...

I don't remember but I do remember that for a long time, I HATED that Footloose song, Hated "Let's Hear It For The Boy". :rolleyes: -- spinner :cool:

I'd like to amend this, I've said this before, but it always made sense to me: When I had a big project, I knew I would need the camera for about 3 weeks (about 23 days). The camera I was considering renting, after I added up the days/weeks I would need it for, I could buy the camera for the...

Just so you know.... B&H has a great reputation of service and delivery. Most of the people I know with prosumer equipment, got it from them. At one time, I even spent about 45 minutes talking to someone about the microphone I was purchasing, They are very knowledgeable. That's where I get my...

:D -- spinner :cool:

I was remembering that too, from when I was at the TV station, BUT, the way this was done, they needed no slate or bars and tone from me. Just the 30 second spot. I also remembered that normally (?) they needed the spot to be 28 to 29 seconds long, drag time for tape. ...But we no longer need...

....no, I mean: if you move the camera to the left a little so the glare goes away, we won't have to fix it in post. That didn't happen a lot, but I was thinking, you have the time and the wherewithal to do it correctly, do it correctly! Now, after the fact, it's kind of funny. When we were...

Funny! I liked it! -- spinner :cool:

Good for you! I'm glad everything worked out! -- spinner :cool:

I know!!! Geez! Plus they don't know how much time it can take to fix something that they could have done correctly in the field! -- spinner :cool:

I am a new editor. I'm not the greatest editor known to man, but I want to get better and I am trying to improve my skills. (I do want to try to be the greatest editor :D) That being said... If I hear one more person on a no-budget indie production say: "Oh, we can just fix it in post," I...

Aw, man! Do we HAVE to???? -- spinner :cool: EDIT: The good news is: it was beaten at the box office, the bad news is: it was beaten by the Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em Robots movie.....
