This is a short a few friends of mine decided to do over the summer. Over the course of shooting the story line became very ambiguous and hard to follow, I'm aware of that because we didn't plan this out very well, script was shoddy, but we learned for our next project. Story follows a kid who...

Haha, well it's not like I didn't have to work for it, I slaved my *** overtime at a stinking bread factory last summer and this summer at a more relaxing graphic design firm. And I agree that we are almost born with the tools, at least it isn't money or equipment that gets in the way of...

Haha, man there sure are a lot of ideas. My limitations though unfortunantley are that I most likely can't find a friend who will be willing to dress up as a prostitute, and since I'm shooting this with a group of friends around my age (17) I'm not sure how to get adults into this (hence...

I was playing around in Vegas, and I tried adding in a Resonant Filter. What worked for me was if you set the frequency around 2000-4000 and the Resonance to roughly 10%, it should give it a nice..bad..quality. Btw I never got the compressor to do anything for me, not sure how I have to set...

1 Short/ month is the plan. Our first one took 2.5 weeks during the summer, so assuming we're more comfortable and also that there is school, I think that's a realistic goal. Thx for the advice btw.

Ah I see what you mean, it's a lot of stuff to digest. I think 4 months ago I didn't know the difference between a lens and a pack of batteries, but I'm trying to keep up.

Like the guy above says, gonna be spending hours here!

I remember reading that somewhere and had totally forgotten about it! That's a good bit of advice. Btw I thought I'd mention, if you do get a T2i, it has a cropped sensor of a factor of 1.6 (I think that's what they call it), meaning a 50mm lens would look like an 80mm...Or so I hear.

Ah, so those flap things are called flags. Ok so I understand that flags help control the direction and other variables of a light, and also reduce lens flare, if that is the case, what does a camera matte do? I noticed they look very similar.

AH! CONFLICT. I gotta sleep on that tonight and see what I come up with. I'm glad you like this idea, it's the next short I'm working on and I'll be sure to post it up here when it's done. Magic Balls..Magic Balls...what could possibly be the downfall of having magic balls? Well the reason his...

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean exactly by flagging off a light, sorry I'm new to the whole scene, but I can't picture how this works. It's still confusing to me :blush:

I thought I had a good idea for a comedic short and here is what I have so far... If it's not obvious I have no past experience in writing scripts..or stories for that matter. Thanks in advance. PS. Sorry for the really long read, got a lot on my mind. :)

You're right, for video it should still be fine, but for photography, especially without a tripod (too poor atm to buy my own, borrowing a buddy of mines) it's a mess. Canon's 'nifty-fifties' are amazing lenses, and the 1.8 is pretty cheap too.

(Where's that innocent angel emoticon when you need it) :)

Haha, well steps 2 and 3 to go still. I gotta disagree with them being worn out, sure there are very terrible ones, but there are still the few that everyone love. Julian Smith for example, I love the cinematography in his shorts and the acting! Anyways I've already made my first, but the...

In my experience with a T2i, the jello effect happens only in horizontal movement, and I'm pretty sure it only happens horizontally because of the way the shutter works, but don't quote me on that. Also the low-light thing all depends on your lens, the kit lens that it comes with 18-55mm...

As the title suggests, not sure what I want to do, write and act like Jason Segal, direct, edit, all I know is that I love movies and the process of making them. Oh and my name is Sina, I live in Toronto Canada and I'm 17 years old. I'm currently working on little comedic shorts (yea i know...
