Well, that was quick. Apparently the new version didn't go over so well with George Lucas, so he's released a newly updated one himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v93Jh6JNBng

Ho-ho-hail yeah! I'll be the first to throw my santa hat in the ring...

It's just a teaser for a film that's not opening for over a year. I wouldn't expect them to lay out the story yet... there will be plenty more trailers to do that next summer.

You should be able to make some simple air canons out of something like a paper towel tube - seal off the bottom with gaff and a piece of aquarium tubing, then use a compressed air can (computer duster stuff) to blast air through the tube. You can easily reload the tube with cereal, paper bits...

I recently made a similar decision - was looking at GH4, BMPCC or A7s as a replacement for my 5DmkII. I ended up choosing the A7s, but that choice was influenced heavily by my current needs. I've stopped shooting for clients so I'm the only one it needs to satisfy, and the aesthetic of A7s...

Extreme night-for-day examples aside, low light ability isn't generally about making night scenes look bright. Once you've graded things your night scenes should still look like it's night, but you should have much more control over things like shadow detail than if you're running at the...

I don't really like the animated kerning of the logo at the end - it feels like the text should just be moving forward with the motion of the clouds or something. Also, look into using easing on your keyframes so that the motion doesn't start/stop abruptly - it'll give the motion a much more...

Is this still an issue? I haven't worked with an NLE in years that made any changes to the source material, video or audio. The last time I remember encountering a system that did this was probably in the mid- to late-90's.

MDMP's advice is probably the best - you need to get a lawyer involved. On the question of your production company - I'd say in a situation like you're describing you'd want to form a separate company for the sole purpose of producing the film. You can then divide ownership of that company in...

I've had a 5DmkII since it shipped - rolling shutter is pretty bad on that, but in all my projects with it since I've never found it to be much of an issue. The biggest problem I see with it is less with action and more with vibration - it can look bad on a car mount, for instance, or handheld...

Amazon also isn't profitable, while Apple is. Different business models, different priorities, different costs.

I get that but can't find any info on how independent creators can do it. I only see options for subscription channels, not individual video sales - those seem to currently be limited to studio offerings. Do you have a link where they describe the process and terms? My google-fu is usually...

When I was in school it seemed like everyone crewed everyone else's projects at some point - it was a small department at the time though, maybe 75 students total. We also hung out quite a bit socially, and formed & ran a film club. I've only kept in touch with a couple of people at this point...

Sure - it's not about being unwilling to compromise, just knowing what your personal and/or reasonable limits are and sticking to them. And like I said - the proper response is usually "Thanks, but no thanks". No need to deliberately burn bridges unnecessarily, you can still be political in...

Pardon my french, but fuck that shit. Never walk into a room without the willingness and ability to say 'Thanks, but no thanks', turn right back around and walk out. There are plenty of things that it's fine to compromise on, but at some point you have to realize that you can't compromise...

Yes - the link I posted a couple posts back covers that. The issue is you have to send them a DVD as the source file. This means you're limited to standard definition, and it's going to be an MPEG2 file at 6.5Mbit/s (or lower if your film runs over 90 minutes) which they then recompress for the...

Don't know, I rarely watch anything longer than a few minutes on my computer. Everything else I watch on tv, or occasionally my iPad if I've got a long flight. Also I'm not saying you can't get better quality through amazon instant, just that it appears you can't do it through createspace. You...

I haven't been through the process with them, but that's what it sounds like - under submissions requirements on this page they list a DVD as the only acceptable submission format: https://www.createspace.com/Products/VideoDownload/ Frankly that's disappointing to me - from a quality...

They don't have an Amazon app for the apple tv yet. Probably won't any time soon - if they ever do it would be playback only; you'd have to buy the video from your browser, then go play it from the apple tv. It's the same reason they don't let you buy books on the kindle app for iphone/ipad -...

I'm pretty sure that's what they were going for with the title too.
