DVD Changes Coming To Everyone: Thanks for your comments. They are always welcomed. To Buddy Greenfield: You anticipated my own revision to my cover. I am not a big fan of the title (in base bar) but the image itself makes it difficult for it to go anywhere else. Also, I do like the tag...

Cover Content I know marketing drives a ridiculous amount of DVD cover design: men holding guns, sepia collages showing you all the main characters in the movie, half naked chicks... ...all the boring stuff that's been done so much for so long that the actual Point of Purchase power of the...

Martial Arts & Hand Held I am a career martial arts (since I was 8) and enjoyed studying many, many styles that are unique and effective. Now, regarding martials arts in movies, I am of the Fred Astaire and Bruce Lee schools of fight choreography: just turn the camera on in wide shot and let...

Sounds Good to Me ...and it does. Jetrefilm

To Shaky-Cam or Not To Shaky-Cam My opening sentence was a literary device called hyperbole. My reaction shaky-cam is temporal, and has been largely formed by 5 years of reckless bombardment by it. Of course, there is a time to use it -- its just not the 9 out 10 times bad directors choose to...

Misconstrued Hyperbole I guess I have to write this... "Any camera movement (zoon, dolly, pan, crane, hand-held, swing) should only be considered in service of the scene, and the mood contained therein." If your scene is best served by a hand-held shaky camera, then you should use it --...

Thieving Producers Since I am my own producer (with two others) I've not had to worry about people stealing from the ledger. However, I recently watched two movies, both made for between $80K - $100K and I was dumb founded how poor they looked. This is not hyperbole, it looked like the shot...

Shroud in Distribution We are negotiating with our distributor as we speak. We should know a date by the end of September. I will be making an announcement on IndieTalk once the deal is finalized. Thanks for your interest. Jetrefilm
