    lighting Best lighting setup for low budget?

    I'm trying to get my best setup for lighting, and I was reading on some websites that the best way to go is with home depot work lights and clamps, but I also ready some people say that going used on pro grade equipment is better and pretty close to the same price. What would your ideal setup be...

    What's a good online store for props?

    It all depends on what kind of weapons you are looking for. If you want weapons of anything that isn't guns (IE - swords, knives, fantasy, batons, tazers, etc) then swordsswords.com, trueswords.com are good, and very cheap. Most of the blades are steel but practice, so they aren't sharp, unless...

    Bullet hits: Digital vs on location

    What do you guys think looks better, and how do you do them? I personally look back to action classics like The Killer and Hardboiled, where they did all the squibs where they were, and then look at newer movies like The Expendables where it looks like it is all digital. I prefer the old...

    So I'm reading a lot about vintage lenses.

    I've seen it mentioned on here a lot that people are buying vintage lenses to cut costs on the unbelievably expensive current day lenses. So I have a question, if I wanted to buy them and put them on my Canon T3i, do I need an adapter of some kind or do they just fit? If so, which do I need...

    Help! Canon T3i Manual Focus for DOF

    I come to you guys seeking advice again. I can't figure out how to throw some stuff out of focus on the T3i. I want to achieve a shallow depth of field, and only want the actor to stay in focus on some shots. Thanks again for helping out!

    archived-videos Improved Muzzle Flash VFX Test!

    All the assets are their, the only major change I can suggest is make the flash much bigger. If you look at any of the muzzle flashes from famous action movies (Hardboiled, The Killer, Die Hard even) the flashes are pretty damn big. Other than that, I'm convinced that there should be a hole in a...

    sound Favorite Action filmscores

    Best film score I've seen in an action movie is from Shim Hyun-Jung and her work in The Man From Nowhere. Don't waste your money on buying the CD's, all the tracks are on YouTube, and the movie is on Netflix. Definitely something to check out, how her music is able to add to the emotion of the...

    cinematography my lesson on DIY vs PRO

    This comes more from a martial arts background. You have to be more in tune with your bodies movements. You have to be able to slow the motion of your upper body while moving your legs slowly enough to stay as stable as possible. And the only way that can happen, is by practice. Practice bending...
