Based on the numbers here: http://www.the-numbers.com/market/ There's been a gradual downward trend in ticket sales since the peak around 2002. Box office revenues have gone in the opposite direction, with a gradual increase over the same time period...

Very interesting article on Universal's success this year with a full slate of relatively inexpensive films: http://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2014/12/09/for-universal-pictures-zero-blockbusters-equals-record-profits/ This was a bit of an accident - for instance, Fast 7 was meant to...

Nice work, I definitely think these are improving with each episode.

I wouldn't say that article is particularly relevant in this context; they're addressing drives that go beyond the typical desktop speeds (5400 - 7200 rpm). The metric they are comparing (IOPS) doesn't really matter for editing in a single workstation setup, and the price differential between...

Raw is a the only place where you're likely to run into speed issues, but you're also not likely to be editing it directly - you'll generate prores proxies to edit with, and only use the actual raw files once you reach the grading stage. So with h.264 you're probably looking at anywhere from...

I haven't attempted to use USB3 for editing yet, so I can't really address it's suitability for the task. I have been editing on a macbook with external drives since 2009 with no problems though - it's really not that big a deal. I still use firewire 800, as that's what I have invested in for...

Things like this should be worked out before you even seek investment - how do you know what the budget is (and therefor how much investment you need) without knowing who is getting paid and how much?

That sounds like R, not NC-17, material. Unless, of course, there's an erection involved.

To me that just looks like they've got vaseline or something similar on the lens - well, probably not on the lens itself, but on a clear UV filter in front. You might want to give "lens whacking" a try if you're looking for interesting light leak/flare effects. Remove the lens from the camera...

Reading over the basic agreement, here's what I see as the two relevant parts I'd be concerned about in your situation: Section 1, Pictures Covered: It is not intended for pictures produced for television broadcast, cable use, video/DVD markets or otherwise produced primarily for commercial...

Don't have any specific experience with this, but the way that is worded sounds to me like they're saying it's a "theatrical motion picture" regardless of whether you actually release it theatrically. It's not saying the lack of a theatrical release changes the classification; the opposite, in...

I think this is actually a great example of how the sensitivity isn't just about shooting in the dark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vT8Ysml0jk He's shooting volleyball in slow motion on a long lens - so a higher shutter speed and smaller aperture to keep things in focus = less light for...

So, first off - please don't spam Indietalk! There's no need to post this in six different forums, especially ones that aren't at all related to what you're posting. Second - it appears you've just started a blog where you review independent films. You've currently got only five reviews - the...

"It Donned On Me" originally started in 2007 when a group of my former students were interested in doing the 48 Hour Film Project. One of them signed us up and had to provide a team name, so he came up with it. It was kind of just a throwaway - we didn't really think about a name at the time...

I haven't seen anyone complaining about the new Star Wars being too CGI-focused. In fact, I've seen quite a bit of interest in the fact that Abrams is specifically trying to use more practical stuff than Lucas did in the prequels. And while not everyone likes Abrams take on Star Trek, the...

Here's some of what I've been watching on netflix... John Dies At The End - I know this has quite a cult following, and it's a fun movie in some ways but didn't really do it for me. Felt like they were trying too hard to make it a cult film. God Bless America - I loved this film...

Sure, but that has nothing to do with unsatisfied Star Wars fans. They aren't unsatisfied (assuming that's the case at all) because the trailer doesn't deliver what they're looking for in a sci-fi movie, they're unsatisfied because it doesn't deliver what they're looking for in a Star Wars...

So you're planning on making a Star Wars movie? I'm not sure what else would satisfy fans of Star Wars that aren't satisfied with the upcoming sequel.

FilmFreeway's home page says "browse 1,445 festivals". When you browse currently open festivals the count is 724. WithoutABox's home page says "Discover more than 5,000 festivals across six continents". But it also says "Securely submit films, forms, & fees online to 850 festivals". So WAB...

I wouldn't say there was a huge impact on used prices for the mkII when the mkIII came out, because the mkIII retailed at a somewhat higher price point than the mkII did. I think the arrival of the 6D probably had more impact, because that made a full-frame body available new at about what the...
