Valhalla Rising - 6/10 I'd been meaning to see this for a while now, and as expected it was a polarizing film. I would go so far as to say it's an anti-film (although not an extreme example of one). Depending on your perspective, this movie was either horribly paced or impeccably paced...

Hmm, I thought Immortals was alright, but I wasn't a fan of Mirror, Mirror at all. In my book, The Fall is the only bacon this director has. Thank goodness that one's ridiculously great, because it was self-funded and mostly out of Hollywood's control (which probably has something to do with...

Beasts of the Southern Wild - 9.5/10 I was super pumped to see this movie ever since I heard that it was made by Benh Zeitlin, director of the short film "Glory At Sea." The fact that it won the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Sundance came as no surprise to me. It's a similar setting...

Sure thing, I was just curious :D

Which websites/company, if you don't mind me asking? Also, for what it's worth: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRPj1ulC4j4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFBlOX5M6PA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqXZ2ji7J1A I'm putting together a few more serious video projects in the (very) near future --...

And Peter Jackson just became George Lucas! In all seriousness though, what are people's thoughts on this? The immediate comparison I drew in my mind was Nolan's Batman trilogy. The Dark Knight had enough content, Heath Ledger died far enough ahead of the release of the movie, and the ending...

The "Snail" series by our own Flicker Pictures has been a huge inspiration to me as an aspiring filmmaker. It's tough to find such hard-hitting indie works as "Snail Trail" and "Snail Mail." In that spirit, I present to you: Slow Things in Slow Motion...

There hasn't been a whole lot of useful information on this topic, so I was wondering if anyone has experience with making a custom effect (or script? or plugin? the terminology is confusing as well) for Premiere Pro or After Effects. I want to make a script (that sounds most accurate)...

I had this on my "to watch" list, but when I came back to it the video was taken down :( Do you know if this doc is anywhere else online?

There are certainly arguments both ways. For me, I chose to buy some basic equipment (low-end DSLR, cheap-ish lenses, and DIY rigs) and begin making videos/films as a hobby to start out, while going to college for a "real" degree (computer science). That way was certainly cheaper for me, and...

I remember they did something like that in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCunuL58odQ It was a pretty cool effect, and would be cool in conjunction with a timelapse background. Good luck!

First off, this is better than a whole lot of those "homemade rap videos" that I see from time to time. With that in mind... -In all the establishing shots, especially in the beginning, it was obvious that you were going handheld or using some sort of handheld rig (the shots at :17 and :24...

Dude. How. I've been trying to do that (commercials/music videos) for a few months now, but marketing myself so far has brought me zero legitimate leads :/

The big thing about one-shot shorts is that they need to be ALL right, ALL AT ONCE. It's very doable, but know that pre-production is a much more important step (so everyone knows exactly what they need to do on the actual shoot), as is patience. This is a one-shot short film that has some...

Should be added to the list: -The Fall (meh, it's decently popular but not enough) -Bronson (I love how a lot of people discovered Tom Hardy after Inception, even though he was incredibly awesome earlier on :)) EDIT: And to the above point on Moon, it's totally fine if you wanted more actors...

Dang, only 3 :D -Rescue Dawn (Not my absolute favorite, but still extremely good) -Enter the Void (Love it or hate it) -Moon (Great! Seriously!) Layer Cake was on my "To Watch" list, and I'm kinda surprised The Fall wasn't on here (being a mainstream movie site and all), but I haven't even...

That's exactly what I started out with. Shoot little clips around the house, experiment with lighting (indoor and outdoor), experiment with moving the camera (and potentially build a simple rig -- all you need is a piece of wood and a bolt!), experiment with the different focal lengths and...

...well, that's what I get for looking on the left side of the screen. Thanks a bunch!

This isn't directly film-related, but I had a question regarding the spectral frequency display inside Soundbooth. As I understand it, if I see a solid horizontal line that indicates a single pitch. What I would like to do is select part of the spectrum (one of the lines) and find out exactly...

Heh, I don't think insanity and genius are mutually exclusive :)
