I would love to use unsigned bands music but like others have said in this thread that the recording quality is almost always not as good. Maybe a site needs to be set up where bands can upload tracks that they are allowing to be used for film and video for a modest fee.... i know there is...

APE - Agreed. A lesson learnt. I guess my main grievance is that like you say, you see copyrighted music used so often without permission, im sure i could go on youtube now and find a load... and sometimes its used on material that could degrade the artists integrity but it doesn't get picked...

Oh come on.... Ive found this forum very informative in the past and it has helped me out a great amount... including posts from you steve but I posted originally in the hope this community could help me out not pick apart everything I have written.... I thought this forum was more than that...

Hi APE, I completely take on board your comments, and yes it was a mistake in the first place to use the track. Basically the client is a very good friend and I filmed an event for his organisation and he just wanted a short video to commemorate the event, it was going to be distributed...

Ahh gotcha! Sorry if anyone was thinking I was arguing, I wasn't, just trying to get my head around it all! :)

Ah ok, this is where my ignorance kicks in.... If they sell me the licence for £2000 no one else can sue that track for the next year is what you are saying? I was purely meaning with the £500 comment that whoever wants to use the track must pay £500 for the rights... for example if 10...

I completely see your point about recording artists needing to recoup costs but at the same time I personally feel in this current climate with media, we all need to work together. Im not expecting to pay £10 but say they quoted me £500 i would definitely consider it... For that they get a sum...

Hi Thanks for your reply! I actually contacted EMI Publishing today and had a long chat with them, they want to quote me £2000 for a years licence. I stated the video is non profit and im not even getting paid to produce it. BUt i dont think that will matter unfortunately. The client has...

Hi Guys, I will try and explain my situation as best I can, I have recently produced a short promotional film for an important client. The original brief was that the finished video was to be distributed privately amongst the company and wouldnt enter the public domain. So I edited the...

I have just got into timelapse and loving it so far.... My first 3 ever timelapses.... https://vimeo.com/47333371 https://vimeo.com/47542856 https://vimeo.com/50021313 critiques welcome! I want to improve

I think a really good beginner project is the "Philip Bloom 10 minute Challenge" Get your camera, go out somewhere, place your tripod where you like... stick the camera on top and from that place/point shoot continuously for 10 minutes, you can shoot what ever you like for 10 minutes but you...

Yeah a teaser/trailer would be great :)

Hi Nick, I would be interested in helping out with marketing, I worked in PR for bands for 7 years working with both national and international acts on their UK tours so know a bit about marketing and PR ;) If you want to talk further you can email me at: Contact@absolutionfilms.com Also if...

Hi B00uWhore, Thanks for the comments, I agree if your working with a professional actress I guess they are more used to working in such situations. Most projects I've worked on so far are with actors/actresses who are still building a portfolio, so thats where my experience comes from, but...

Seeing you are based in London, I tell you where I always find great stories from all over the world... The Sun Newspaper, not the most groundbreaking editorial in the world but bare with me.... on most pages they have what they call "Sun Spots" which are very short (less than 140 characters)...

This thread has been a good read because I have just wrote a short which involves a sex scene which is integral to the story (wife cheating) and its always been an area of film that i have found difficult to approach and what the best way was. The scene i have written i want to be real and...

I actually thought the first minute or so was pretty good. Agree with the others it died so to speak at the end and I expected more. I think ti got a bit too dark at points, and the sister moaning actually sounded like something else (sorry!!) you wanted honest opinions haha Like others said...

I use a H4N with a Rode NTG-1 shotgun mic and the results are good! However any of the Rode series will do you well there's also the NTG-2 and 3 to choose from. I went for the NTG-1 due to budget and I know a load of people use the NTG-2

Hey Phil, Have you set a release date yet? And how did you get on with the GoPro? I'm using one for a short scene this month and quite intrigued of how it will come out!

Hi Guys, So I have just downloaded Final Cut X... My question is do I need to also purchase "Compressor" or can I just use Mpeg Streamclip? If I can just use Mpeg Stream Clip, what would the work flow be? and would I encounter any loss of picture quality?
