Yeah that makes sense. It is really cool that you have that kind of respect for folks, I just hope that it is appreciated. If these filmmakers are truely interested in improving and mastering the meduim then they should. I just know that when it comes to myself I will not be able to ask...

:seeya: Yikes!!

What amazes me is that people would submit these films. I just finished my first short and I am intensely proud of what I accomplished considering the limitations of my experience and equipment, but I have no misconceptions of its quality. While I will force all my friends and family to repeated...

Me too!! How do you take yours? Scrambled? Fried? Hard Boiled? Personally I like my hamsters scrambled with cheese and onion.

Your a dog person aren't you? Dogs have unwavering loyalty, whilst a cat.... well their loyalty lasts only as long as the food bowl is full, the litter box is clean, and there is plenty cat nip to be had. Sometimes, when my cat looks at me, I swear he is thinking "If I were only just a little...

That is assuming of course that males have indeed developed a reasoning brain.

Can't seem to get the pictures from your link. I most likely didn't have anything constructive to add anyway. Now your question of a book however. Try "Grammer of the shot" by roy thompson its a great primer of basic camara shots to complex camara moves with some ideas on how to maintain...

I've recently been on a Robert Altman kick. I've decided I like his older stuff better than his more recent. Gosford Park was good though. Mash is always worth the rewatch, but I really liked Three Women and Images. Netflix is fun!! I have over 200 movies in my queue and not nearly enough...

Just a suggestion.... might be the beer!!! ;)

I enjoyed Ep2 when I saw it in the theater the only complaint I had was the bad, really bad, dialogue. Specifically the love scenes. However on rewatching the original trilogy, many times since DVD, I have discovered that the dialogue is just as bad. I still love 'em though. I have to agree...

Well Crap... *mikey d says while cowering under his desk* and to think I placed my allience with the roaches. I thought for sure they would be the ones taking over the world. They sure were taking over my first apartment.

I can't say how big of a selling point this was for me. I just hope the folks at sony don't change thier mind before I am ready for an upgrade.

Sony Movie Studio is a reasonably priced ($100) NLE that has some excellent features plus its bundled with a decent DVD creator. Plus Movie Studio is a pared down version of Sony's Pro Package Vegas. So when you are ready to throw down the big bucks you wont have to completely learn a new...

I must admit I really like this idea. As part of my film "education" I have been seeking screenings of low-budget films/short films. While attending film festivals is a great way because of my location they often involve travel/lodging that make attending more than one or two a year cost...

Rent real looking fake guns. I was in a stage production in college in which I danced a waltz with a hand gun. Looked real, felt real, and yet..... In fact unless my memory fails me (twas college after all) it even came with some sort of cap/blank. Probably not film quality sound, but a...

:lol::lol::lol: Oh my god it hurts, it hurts please stop!! So do the larger venues require that you submit your releases before they will screen any film? Or is just prudent to have all releases and clearences because there is a greater chance that someone may see your film who would have...

While I find that I prefer the Clint Style I have nothing against camara movements, unless they take me out of the moment. I don't believe that anything the camara does, be it excessive motion or stagnation, should detract the viewer from the story. Though there is the occasional camara...

Ummm I hate to seem uninformed but... well... :blush:..... I am. Where does one go, exactly, to purchase dry ice???

Looks like Rob has finished with his line of questioning so I am going to usurp this thread since I have some questions of my own regarding license, clearances et al. I am interested to know how you all handle the issue of location clearance when you are filming your shorts. And I am talking...

Another question along the same lines. If I want to shoot an interior in a store or an apartment, would I need clearance from just the tenent or the property owner as well?
