I've always said if someone wants to make video for profit, then feature films should be way down your list of products to make... it's difficult, time consuming, requires massive skill levels and even the best people in business misjudge the market on a regular basis... so, on that score I...

Hi Your lighting choice needs to come out of an understanding of how each lighting system is used to achieve each effect. So, in many respects you're at a real disadvantage. What you really need to do is get your hands on some different lighting systems and play with them... get a lighting...

I started writing a bit about this, but actually it's the kind of thing you need to see rather than be told about so Anyway... Red Giant do a great tutorial for their plugin Colorista... which also explains the basics of color correction at the same time This is it

You keep on asking the same question in different threads. That's why you're not getting any answers. I've also warned you any number of times, as have other people, about nagging. Stomping your feet and demanding answers isn't the way to get things done here... but as you seem unable to learn...

Hey Mike... you're welcome here at indietalk and I think this is the best film forum on the net... and trust me, I've been tarred and feathered out of every other one LOL I think directorik is bang on when he says that online marketing comes with building a reputation and being a solid part of...

Sean is a personal friend... and I know for sure he wrote, directed and produced Redemption... it's his project ... sure other people will have been involved, but Sean is the only one qualified to talk about it. I mean the project is semi-autobiographical.

Internet marketing is a complex issue... and Johnny makes some valid very valid points. The drop in and "will you look at my film/book/magazine" almost never works... partly because people generally assume that anyone new to a group is either a newbie, a scam artist or an idiot... (until they...

Just to add to the confusion... There is a real problem with terms like "low budget" because it's used by different groups to mean different things. In the industry low budget means $2Million to about $8Million... In the industry micro-budget means $500,000 to $2M anything below $500,000 is...

The link takes you to Sean A Reid's Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB) page... if you'd read it, you'd see that Sean A Reid was the writer/director of "Redemption" It also tells you that Sean is busy on other projects.

nancy... are you editing in camera? if that's your only option then read the manual for your camera and see if they have put in extra audio tracks to add music on, in camera. John's right... editing on a computer with a piece of free software like imovie is going to be best.

Adsel... I'm English, I live in Italy... I don't speak Italian that well. I have no idea about the Italian indie scene or the main releases.

The truth is the film industry is in a bit of a tiz at the moment... it knows what has worked in the past, but as everyone has pointed out there is no clear model for getting an online release to work. They're also paying close attention to how the digital roll out has effected the music...

Hi Mike I've got an email address for the CEO of movieset, I'll copy and paste your question over to her... see what reply we get. Adsel... interesting idea, but I've been living here six months, don't speak the language that well and am only just starting to build industry contacts. I don't...

Theatre releases are seen as the marketing which drives DVD sales... people are more likely to buy a DVD of a film that had a cinema release, even if they didn't see it in a theatre. I know I do that all the time... see a film on at the cinema, think that's looks interesting... and then wait...

Hey Rik... I'd rent that movie... reminds me of a pitch I once developed, based on a wildlife program; the TV show showed how monkeys in Papua New Guinea had evolved to the point where they were making and using spears to kill bush babies for food. So, being a film maker I wondered, what would...

That's a real how long is a piece of string question. Do you know what the film maker's projected budget is? You see on my first feature I paid nothing for my music... and on my second, I paid a flat fee of $30,000 (for worldwide rights, in perpetuity) However, that composer was one of...

Yeah... that DIY guys is fantastic... I can't wait for his next piece (and I'm not Clive, I'm a film maker who is borrowing his laptop and am saying Knightly is fantastic, just because he is... and not only that I'm going click on the Adobe banner at 1000dollarfilm and buy lots of Adobe stuff...

The purpose of the poster mock up is to achieve a number of things. One of which is to do so market research... however, the other reason is to see if you can sell the concept behind your film with an image and about twelve words of text. Now in the case of your project, where you are going to...

We're not. You have no way of knowing, who we are or whether what we're saying has any merit. For all you know I could be some guy who has never made a film, but due to chronic agoraphobia has spent the last five years reading stuff online that I then pass off as my own. If you meet people with...

OK... firstly, the question about how you can trust the distributor: Basically, most film business problems are identical to the problems faced by any business. How does a Pakistani tobacco company know that it's getting a fair deal from a wholesaler in the UK? All businesses have to conduct...
