Also if you're going to be trying to write scripts i would recommend also reading some scripts. You can find scripts online at dailyscript.com or you can just search for a specific script something is bound to come up on the internet. You might also want to read some books on film making. My...

If you're going to give Lightworks a try then I recommend looking at some tutorial videos cause you most likely be clueless about what to do especially since you don't have a lot of editing experience. I know that editshare has some basic tutorials and are making a master class but I've included...

If you want you could give Lightworks a try. It's a free open source editor, I've been editing on it since I was 14.

I like to write scripts but i can never come up with titles so i give the script to some friends let them read it and i say what would you call this? If they give me a good enough answer i use it as the title. Is that bad? Like i'm taking credit for their work on the title? I do come up with...

Well I'm trying to create an opening title sequence to a film and I want it to be something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCtcgI4BcIQ I wanted it to be Like that^ The red circles coming closer and closer and disappearing if you get what i mean? I don't know how to explain it that...

This whole thread made me laugh! :D I watched that Nicolas Cage Losing his shit video and i laughed hysterically! I especially loved that Imma Vampire part..... Someone should run into walmart or something doing that :D Oh and why was he dressed as a bear i didn't understand that.....but anyway...

Why is Nick Cage such a bad actor and why does he keep getting jobs?

I liked this but I think you can do better. I liked the sets you used, reminds of something i saw in a 70's or 80's British art house film. I liked the purse snatcher the best whoever played that guy was a creepy motherfucker like NosyBonk! Yeah Nosybonk! I thought that guy did a great job...

I was reading my magazine today (MovieMaker) and a thought just popped into my head. I pondered about it for a little while but then it slipped my mind. The thought was "Is Film Obsolete". With the new advancements in technology everything seems to be replaced. This has been a pattern since...

Well i was watching this youtube video and I discovered a style of film called biograph now it was black and white and this was when film was in its infant stages. Now what im wondering is that is there a way to recreate this style of film with color correction...

Lightworks definitely does have a learning curve but it is a great editing system. The system is very difficult to master unless of course you have a console but the downside of the console is that its like $2,800. Not something one can come up with easily. With Lightworks you really have to...

Hello i just had another question hope you don't mind. I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to all this filmmaking stuff and i find it very interesting. I want to get this certain look for a film i'm thinking of doing in the following weeks to come. I want my film to look like the video below...

Ah Lightworks my editing system of choice. I just upgraded to the Pro version today for 60 bucks so I'm quite pleased. I will admit that i was frustrated at first by Lightworks Interface but after a couple days i was cutting together a good sequence. I think if you watch the 10 free tutorials...

As for editing i use Lightworks to do all my editing for my films and such but i do use photoshop on some occasions to edit pictures and such. I don't think Lightworks has a vignette function so i'll probably have to look for an alternative. Im just curious but how did they do Vignettes back...

I have very little filmmaking experience but i do enjoy working on movies. Now one of my favorite films is The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNDaifCMAdI At about 0:39 in the video there is a close up of Cesare and you just see his head and little of the background now...

I found this article to be very interesting. Im not interested in what it is trying to sell me but the fact that it mentions Sergei Eisenstein is very peculiar. He is one of my all time favorite filmmakers and i've never seen his name pop up in an article like that. His name seems very out of...

Well i've been interested in this for a long time now and i though why not ask it here. I love watching old movies. Silent films especially. Now one thing that always sticks out in my mind when i watch one is the titles. I always ask what font do they use but my main question is how do they did...

I've been cutting on a Lenovo ThinkPad when I'm not on a tower. The sucker is heavy because its got a workstation quality graphics card in it, but it is a work horse in the edit room. I have a second monitor attached frequently as well as external drives. Few to no issues. If your going to be...

Well i couldn't really sit through it. It was just too boring and would've been better if it weren't a silent film. I don't know why you decided to go the silent film route maybe you wanted to be artsy or were trying something different but it didn't really work. I love silent films D.W...

Lightworks is a very interesting system. Most editing systems rely on keyboards and drop down menus when all you need to edit in Lightworks is a console. The console is something to die for... It allows you to keep your eye on the picture and overall make your editing workflow better. If you...
