Please remember to turn off the caps lock on your keyboard. To answer the question, script readers will give you advice on where they see weak points on your screenplay. Real pros can charge thousands. Sometimes you have a buddy who will look at it for free. Depends on who you know and what...

I understand what you are saying but I do not believe anyone is limited to one camcorder. If you are you just haven't met enough people. Camcorders to purchase are in the low hundreds, and nearly every family has one that can be borrowed. Pro models are tougher to find but usually the school...

It's beyond me why you would want to over complicate it by having to work 3 or 4 times as much acquiring the footage and then trying to synch the footage assuming that there is no problems with continuity which would prevent you from using one or more angles when you can just as easily set up a...

Borrow at least one other cam. Set one cam on full stage, and man the second camera in which you will get two shots and closeups. Do your best to lock onto a character who will be speaking a lot of lines of dialogue but on the CU cam make sure you keep all of the characters who will be...

Hey guys, I'm looking to find some stories of success of the more modest kind... making films for under $250k and turning profits with them. It seems like the Clerks and El Mariachis are the only ones that get written up. Anyone know where I might find some stories like that or some names of...

It took me forever to realize you have to just force yourself to do it, find your rhythm and motivation later. Crank out a serious amount of prep and research or 5 pages a day up to 15. Don't let yourself off the hook. You must write that much. become the focused and devoted writer, your...

I read that Shane walked into the eyeline of Bale during a take. It does not say, but I assume he was off camera. It also does not say precisely what Shane was doing there or why he was there. I was an actor in a film recently where this happened and was very distracting. The 2nd was waving...

Overall it seems well assembled, a good short length, nice mix of shots. But you have to fix that interlacing issue. If you've tried blend interlace and interpolation and it still does that, you may have the field order backwards.

First of all, read this so you understand what interlacing is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlace My recommendation is that if you are shooting a documentary that is meant to go anywhere but the web, and you're shooting at 29.97fps, shoot it in HD (unless you're shooting for a TV station or...

Hi, welcome. We have a cameras forum, which you might check. I am also moving this thread there.

I run a film festival, and ESPECIALLY with documentaries we have many that are 30fps 60i. There's no 24p requirement, narrative or documentary, in almost all film festivals I know of. But 24p does lend itself more to narrative, and 30p or 60i tends to lend itself better to docs. I don't blame...

And that's just my point. He should know by now if he wants a below-the-line person fired, he can do it fairly easily, there's no need for a tantrum.

No idea. Reminds me of the I heart huckabees outtake. As strong as I am and as much as I can deal with problems, I would have a very hard time dealing with someone like that on set. I don't think there's any justification unless he was physically harmed on set. Somehow I have a hard time...

Huzzah for us! Steve counts as 10 members... now that I said that can we please get a really cool celebration smiley, Steve?

I've found with business ventures, its not about "finding the money". The money, depending on how much, is out there all around you. Its about having 1) A solid business plan (especially marketability) , 2) the credibility to deserve the money, 3) the quality of the project and how much...

He started 3 threads, I tried to merge them all, but your post was earlier than his first one in this thread. If indietalk can reset the time of his first post it should go back to normal. EDIT: There back to normal.

Well, thats 4 Cameras. They write multi-page reviews on single cameras, so maybe you can be a little more specific? What are you looking to do (very specifically)? How much do you have to spend? Are you taking into account a lighting and sound budget as well? The short is, they're all good...
