    archived-videos "Late" - my first short film

    I DIDN'T like the shaky cam ;) p.s. My first sentence was a bit like Walken. Don't post when you first wake up or that happens :P

    archived-videos "Late" - my first short film

    I liked, the beginning for all the reasons Michael, mentioned. Also got tired of the different distances of the same shaky shot. And then towards the end I was thinking "Where is this going?" Especially with the amount of time left. But you know what? I really liked the end, lol it was...

    Best way to show time passing

    Good ideas guys, appreciate them all and if anyone has other ideas then keep them coming. Alcove: I haven't filmed this sequence yet, so anything is possible.

    Best way to show time passing

    You think using dissolve will be all right for 30 minute time passes or should they be reserved for longer amounts of time? Thanks for the input

    Best way to show time passing

    I have a shot in a short I am working on where I want a family watching a film and throughout the film the child becomes more and more intrigued. I want to do this in 3 shots: 1) shows the beginning of the film and then the child bored and falling asleep. 2) the middle of the film and the child...

    Sure you and me will watch boring shorts for technical aspects, but majority of movie watchers won't ;)

    Low Budget making Theaterical Debut - Paranormal Activity

    I watched Zombieland on Friday and that was a great all around fully fleshed out film. Had something for everyone and didn't leave me asking for anything. So when comparing Paranormal Activity to a film like this it leaves a bit to be desired, but, PA succeeds at one thing and that is...

    archived-videos Detonation: Deflected

    I agree that yeah it could be improved in all the departments you just described. But honestly I have gotten so used to watching these greatly lit, framed, etc shorts that are just the most boring thing on the planet to watch. Always end up fast forwarding a bit, which is sad in a 8 minute vid...

    Low Budget making Theaterical Debut - Paranormal Activity

    Saw this on Saturday night and definitely have to say for once a movie held to it's hype. It was every bit as creepy as everyone has said. Saw a midnight showing and the girlfriend and I had to go hang out to a club for two hours after watching it before going home to go to sleep like we...

    sound Help. Bad sound with AT897

    Ok, I got a new Rode NTG2 and it seems to be working much better and I'm working on returning the AT897. There is still some humm in the lines, I'm 90% sure it's from the XLR to 3.5mm cord, so I grabbed a Beachtek DXA-2s and some XLR to XLR cables. I'll let you know how it turns out when they...

    Weird movies you liked as a kid

    The Sand "muthafuckin" Lot. I added the "muthafuckin" part. Labyrinth, Never Ending Story, GI Joes the movie And I second the Wizard. Was so disappointed when I actually bought a power-glove after seeing how amazing it was in that movie.

    Bazookas The Movie -- HOT COMEDY its like PORKYS in 2009

    I have no official affiliation with the board so I'm totally allowed to call BS. You opened an account just to post a glowing review of a movie that from it's trailer looks less then glowing. I know I'm new around here, but wasn't born yesterday ;) All the same good luck with the movie.

    think i need other opinions

    I am rather new to all of this as well, but would be more then willing to give it a read and give you my thoughts. I've been reading/watching great and terrible stories all my life so that should count for some experience ;)

    Computer Requirements for Edtiting HD?

    I just bought my new monster and after a lot of reading it seems like the most important things these days are processor, ram and getting a modern 64-bit OS. So that it actually uses the ram/processor. After reading I grabbed an i7 system, brand new socket and really fast processor that seems...

    sound Help. Bad sound with AT897

    I tested it on my girlfriends laptop, using the microphone input and got the same results. However it of course has no phantom power either. But does that matter or should I be getting good loud clean audio? Thank a lot for all your help.

    sound Help. Bad sound with AT897

    Well, I mean it is picking up sound. It's just really quiet. I'll try and find a way to test it tomorrow.
