They really shot them. Talking about taking one for the team! Between that and the arc lights, man those guys were hardcore back then.

So basically you're going to take my film and post it online? Thats the "free contest"? Welcome to indietalk!

Great thread but something being left out of it: Covers! DON'T SCREW IT UP Make it the right color, two brads, NO VISIBLE WGA #, NO ARTWORK. Anything else?

A realistic turnaround depends on what you're like to work with, not just how hard you work. You could fall into the right production company on the first bounce or it could take a year but I guarantee if you work on 10 pictures in that year you will have a zillion connections, and if you work...

Happy 1, seemed like you just had one last year?

Sorry, I didn't see this before. Its done with color correction, and is very easy to do. Here's how its done in FCP but its the same pretty much for all NLE's. http://www.lafcpug.org/tutorials/basic_pleasantville_look.html

Not sure why I never saw this earlier but just to set the record straight, it is never OK to use, play, broadcast, give away or sell copyrighted music ever, for any reason, without written permission for that purpose. 1. Its not fair to filmmakers who have "legal" original music 2. Its not...

I hear and agree what you are saying Rik, but the question then follows, "what made him put it down"? When creating a realistic Mise-en-Scen, we cannot remove the audience from what they have come to expect from cinema - ie. high production values, which is exactly the opposite of what cheap DV...

Jeez Rik, incredible post.

Its been a few days since I saw it and I'm still digesting it. Its really impossible to love the film because its not an easy film to watch but I appreciate it on every level. Not perfect though.

Soak the bottle in water for some hours, scrape off the label, buy some sticker stock (Avery makes some) and inkjet print on it. I do it all the time, for props and other reasons.

I have a 24" Westinghouse HDTV with HDMI, component, etc. Its great plus I use it as a monitor when I can for my HV20.

What particularly didn't you follow? Maybe someone here can break it down.

I'll give you the most important piece of advice possible: Your location does not limit you. 10+ years ago it may have, but not anymore. If you have found your way to this website, there is no limit to the technological and procedural knowledge available to you in the way of websites, books...

Is this a job for motion tracking?

I surprised myself with how much I depend on reviews now.

They're all good and much like NLE's they all do different things better/worse than the others. The question is, what in particular do you want to be able to do?

Congratulations IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dan, I know its not easy all the time, but thanks for starting this site, and keeping it going with the same integrity that made me want to be part of it in the first place. It is truly a site that has a firm grasp on maintaining civility and keeping...

I'm struggling to find out what you want to know? Its like asking, can I make an acceptable movie on a GL2 or a DVX100? The answer is, yes, it has been done, and it has a lot less to do with the camera than the lighting, angles, acting, etc. not to mention the prowess of the operator of the...

My HV20 records 1920x1080p24p . I wouldn't get too worked up about whether its 1440x1080 or 1920. The varicam has been making beautiful movies at 720p for a decade now, which is less res than 1440x1080 by far. More important than the extra res is good lighting, good angles, good direction...
