I think bird is right with the link he posted, you should possibly be looking at something more vintage? and definately lose some of the writing, no one wants to stand and read a poster, it should be an interesting image that conveys the emotion or ideas from the film, almost like describing...

just read the script, really like it! not the sort of thing i would normally read/watch but really interesting all the same. It seems like the film is going to be pretty VFX heavy? so im guessing a lot of time in post? would love to see some test shots or some early footage just to see how its...

children can be really good to work with, you just need to cast them properly and make sure you learn enough about them in the casting. although don't forget if they are professional child actors or have agents or are part of a union then they can only work so many hours a day and have to have...

hey man, im from leeds! good to have more and more people from the uk and from the north! liking the sound of the script, sounds like my kinda thing, I love watching/shooting drama's usually with a sad ending, gritty british cinema i guess you would call it?

hey, good to have more and more people from the uk lately!

oh wow thats interesting you don't often hear of people wanting to crack asia, or any market other than hollywood for that matter, obviously i can understand why! but still its cool to see someone planning films around a different fan base or whatever. oh cool im not a million miles from...

And lime we definately should get some sort of thread together for making a forum led short!

Sounds good salacious, have you got shooting dates planned or is it a play it by budget sort of thing? Also how long is the film set to be?

haha i was expecting some 14 year old kid, but yes he could definitely fit the role, like others said a haircut and maybe keep a bit of the stubble and dress him in a suit or police sergeant uniform and i think he would totally look the part!

My worst moment was recently, on the way to the shoot in my rented van all full of gear (expensive gear) arri 2k's and 1k's kenoflo, egripment dolly and all the camera gear, plus a $40,000 suit of armor, the road on the location was all iced up, got a bit excited, forgot what I had packed in the...

Brilliant guys thankyou for all he feedback, I'm basically looking at these lenses for shorts I do in my spare time, sort of thing that goes on YouTube or to small festivals therefore I obviously want quality for my money but I'm not going out to buy some cp2's or whatever. If it ever comes to...

So just quickly has anyone got any experience/tested the samyang/rokinon cine primes? anyone got any comments on their quality? i'm thinking of buying one in a couple of weeks the few test shots I've seen online look really nice for the money, especially the 35mm although i'm thinking of maybe...

Hey Michael, I live in Leeds so probably not too far away! I haven't got a great deal going on at the minute but I'm always looking for contacts and local people even if just to have a chat about techniques or whatever! I think there are a few other guys on this forum from around similar areas...

I liked the look of it! would love to see a longer version, it even inspired me to install ML on my 60d and already i've found some amazingly useful features! Might even post my own timelapse in the next few days!

as jax said, I was just waiting for some info as to what equipment you already owned haha

I agree with nick, how is this site supposed to flourish and become the go to site for INDEPENDENT film makers (by that i mean they often don't have financial backing) if people are going to reply, to what i thought was a generally acceptable post, with comments like I personally think be as...

If its mainly for behind the scenes stuff then; Have you got a selection of lenses? steadicam/glide cam or a shoulder rig? and what sort of audio equipment do you have, providing you need to record any audio at all?

Hi foggy, I live in leeds, so not too far. there are plenty of old factories in leeds as im sure there are on the outskirts of manchester. I would recommend trying to shoot as close to home as the script allows, it just makes things a bit easier, it also means if you need to go back for...

Read as much as you can on music production, the problem with wanting to compose the music for your film is that you are then learning a completely new discipline it's like starting from scratch learning film again! However you could do some research into free daw's (music production software at...
