Filming at night isn't a problem shortboy,the location is my house so no problems with that its actually setting up the lighting that I don't know how to do. Looks like china balls on a home made light stand is the way to go.

Just realised i have a 2 bulb paper tunnel light thingy, could come in handy,although no idea how to light a night scene with it!

Double post!

Thanks folks,plenty of reading there! The lights on set(my house!) are the halogen downlighter type so I can't put china balls onto those.I think I will go down to B&Q (like home depot I guess?) and get the stuff to make a home made slider, and maybe look into what I can pick up for lighting. We...

Hi Folks, As many of you will have gathered by now I am currently writing my first short. I am however slightly apprehensive as the narrative demands that 99 percent of the movie will be indoors and at night in relatively dark conditions. The gear I am using will be a hacked GH2 (flowmotion)...

And erm...where is the video Knightly!

Brilliant,that AV script looks like it would be much more helpful.Combined with a rough storyboard that would see me through. Thank you for the advice.

Thanks for that Jay.I have "Legs" I guess then.A Velbon dv7000 which thus far has been perfectly adequate.

Ah ok! I'm really struggling with where to start with this short.I love the concept and I'm shooting at home so can't wait to start, but I just can't work out how to write it when it has no dialog.

What are "sticks" Jay?

Wow that was brilliant,best VFX I've seen in a while.

I'm not 100 percent sure nosferatu is PD in the UK and google isn't giving me a definitive answer as yet.

How does this work with a script that has no lines? I'm trying to write a viral that has no lines and is just the one actor basically walking around a house. I don't know how to start with the script as it would basically just be a story board and shooting list?

Theres a video of that on youtube IndiePaul.

Thanks folks. The actual film Psycho isn't needed, but a well known horror OR film that is very easily recognised as a horror is integral to the story. I don't want to step on anyones toes so I will do as you have said and respect the current owner of the material. Better get hunting for an...

Invaluable advice once more wheatgrinder!

I am currently in the process of writing my first short and it features a scene where by the lead character is watching a horror film on TV(Psycho to be precise!). The film won't be for profit,and won't be broadcast other than on youtube etc. My worry is that whoever owns the rights to Psycho...

Hi folks, I havent recently picked up a nice canon FD 50mm f1.4 lens for my gh2. The only issue I have is the aperture ring is stepped and so useless for stepping up or down during a shot. Is there any way of modding the lens to be stepless?Or perhaps an adapter that features a stepless ring...

I have the camera and the older 14-45mm kit lens yep.

Haha that was great!
