    Now that Disney owns Star Wars ...

    Does anybody else think that having the guy doing the Star Trek films do the Star Wars films is a bit weird. I can just imagine girlfriends of the world all shouting "I told you they were the same thing!"

    BAGHEAD A meta-horror by the Duplass Brothers. Loved it from the very first line. Equally as daft as it was brilliant. 8/10

    The things you hate to see in Short films?

    HA!! Defo Zombies and gangsters...and guns and shit explosions! Also really bored of the "Pull Back Reveal" type of story telling... This seems to me to have more in common with Joke telling and TV Commercials than it does Films. Obviously there are times when it works brilliantly but now...

    Is Michael Bay underrated?

    Thought Armageddon and The Rock were enjoyable big flicks, Transformers though I just can't watch it's just sooo bad! "good at what he does" ha yup, I'm not a fan though! He seems to be the goto man for that style of film... so really wouldn't say he's underrated.

    Safety Not Guaranteed - Very enjoyable, not fall of your seat funny but charming and cute. Not even the proliferation of upside down turtle faces made famous by Nick from New Girl stopped me enjoying this (I tell ya the entire cast are at it). 8/10

    Why Do You Make Short Films?

    This... Plus FOR FUN!! IF I didn't enjoy messing with scripts, lights, camera, actors, editing, grading (etc on and on ) then I wouldn't do it!! Certainly don't do it for the money!!! :)

    Focus on Directors - Stanley Kubrick

    Are people being serious?? If so ...that's frightening!! Can't think of another director who skipped from genre to genre and made so many great films. From 1960 the run of classic films he made is staggering, each one dramatically different from the other.

    Epidemic - Chortled my through this bizarre film. Von Triers middle section of his Europa trilogy. Its spookily similar in approach to Charlie Kaufmans Adaptation, all the way down to the "necessary" inclusion of 'drama'. It's an absolute hotchpotch of ideas and creativity that lacks any real...

    cinematography 550D & ML Data Rates

    Cheers ZERO_# Followed your lead and went for CBR at 1.4... Very pleased with the footage I've checked so far. It did seem that we went through battery and memory cards faster than normal, to be expected I guess.

    cinematography 550D & ML Data Rates

    Hola!! I've been messing with the Magic Lantern Data Rates recently after seeing some online videos like this http://vimeo.com/17711166 BUT... I'm filming tomorrow and haven't really tested to full satisfaction, obviously want to get the best shots possible but have already got enough to do on...

    The Master - Left feeling a bit ambivalent by it to be honest. Some beautiful cinematography and the acting was compelling but the characters didn't really shift or grow so I'm unsure as to whether it was truly great acting. They certainly did a great job of grimacing into the camera on close...

    Just back from Cuba. Last thursday was a pretty epic night. Hopefully the vast majority of people have managed to get somehwere where they can enjoy this breathtaking force of nature safely. Sympathies to those whose homes and business are effected.

    Feedback on my short film script

    Classic MacGuffin storyline. It's a difficult choice to either leave the 'IT' as a total mystery which I guess is a bit of a cliche in itself, or reveal some detail of what the 'IT' is which could destroy the mystery for the audience. Not an easy choise to make. IF you're suggesting that these...

    Experimental or Fictional for Film Fest Submission

    Thanks!! It's 3.00:1. Part of the FCP Widescreen FX Think it's ok in this case but maybe a bit too stylised

    Trust Your Audience (or do you?)

    I would but it's not my script so I don't think that's fair. Plus I think we've sorted it now! Some excellent points being made. Just to clarify I'm not trying to suggest I'm some kind of smart guy here :hmm: Just interested in how subtle people think you can/should be with your story/plot and...

    Live Flesh - Second dip into my Pedro Almodovar boxset. I liked how the story eventaully came full circle and this was mirrored with the Buses and the Births that was very clever. It wasn't predictable but the reveal towards the end wasn't really a surprise. Some nice boobies in there tho. 7/10...
