Hey, It was "borrowed" from the school. It's called the Equipment Rental Facility but it's free. I shot on Super 8mm, using a Kinoflex. Good luck!

Hey, Yea, it would've ran me a few hundred dollars if I went to develop and digitize it commercially. The school covers development and digitization. The school is Academy of Art University. I am interested in learning about acting for directors. I don't like taking extra classes because...

Hey, First of all, I wanna thank every one on the indie talk forum for the great and informative community you guys have built here. I don't think I would've ever gotten off my butt and started shooting if it wasn't for this amazing forum. I just finished shooting my first short. Shooting...

Hey every one, The following text is taken from a Robert McKee webinar (http://bigthink.com/ideas/19640) """"""" So, you must not mistake words for writing. What you write in terms of characters, in terms of story, in terms of the events in their lives, in terms of the meaning of...

Yea, I know what you mean. I was trying to get an idea of what experiences people had with film school and what experiences people had with trial and error. I wasn't really trying to get a definite way to learn. Thanks again.

Well right now I'm in film school and also making short films on my own time. Film school, so far for me, has been like a never-ending tease. I keep waiting for something to happen IN SCHOOL that I can't learn on my own. Everything the professors teach can be read in a book or better yet...

Hey every one, I'm trying to try to teach myself Final Cut Pro. I'm currently using the book Apple Pro Training Series: Final Cut Pro 6. I'm curious to see what paths you guys took to learn Final Cut Pro. Any ideas or tips you guys could share would be great too? Thanks for the help.

Let me give you an example. The scene is at a popular upscale restaurant in New York. A limo pulls up and a few men in high-priced suits come out with women in fur coats..etc. Character 1 is walking past the restaurant and in his voice over he is disgusted by these gangsters. Talking about...

In your opinion, who is the most under-rated director? They don't have to be completely unknown, most people here will probably know him/her...but just someone who's work you feel deserves more appreciation.

Hey every one, I'm working on a screenplay where the beginning has a lot of voice-over between two different characters, very similar to Casino. The two voice-overs are of the protagonist and antagonist. I would say that for the first 15 pages/minutes there is about 70% voice-over and 30%...

Hey every one, In your opinion, which of the following is a better way to learn film making or a particular aspect of it. 1. Trial and Error, making low/no budget films, learning from mistakes and criticisms, watching movies. 2. Learning as much as you can about film making, either through...

Hey every one, For a first time director with very little money, do you think it is important for him/her to understand all aspects of film making (directing, editing, cinematography, sound, etc)?

Thanks so much for the insight. I'm getting a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Film, with a concentration on screenwriting.

Thanks for the helpful response. I haven't completed my formal education yet, I have about 3 years left to complete my bachelors. I was asking because being a screenwriter for specs seems kind of "hit or miss" you know? I don't mean to sound pessimistic or doubtful. But I'm used to careers...

Hey all, Other than writing spec scripts and trying to get them purchased, what jobs are available for people with a bachelors degree in screenwriting and a portfolio of scripts? What kind of pay can be expected for an entry-level position? I ultimately want to write scripts for independent...

That's a very logical approach to making it. Good luck. Thanks for the help.

Lol, my ex girlfriend was from an extremely wealthy family, her bratty attitude wasn't worth it though. Good idea though.

Hey every one, Similar to my favorite film maker, Woody Allen, I am interested in directing independent feature films based on screenplays that I've created on my own. I'm not interested in becoming a "director-for-hire" (I doubt that's the proper term but I hope I'm making my point.) To...

Hey every one, I'm new to the forum and relatively new to film making as well. I've seen a lot of people on here mention creating short films for their first few projects. I've also seen some amazing shorts in the Showcase section of the forum that were made on unbelievably low budgets...
