Regarding lighting and color temperature, I suppose the bottom line for me is the awesome opportunity to monitor in realtime what the camera is actually capturing. A good monitor is almost as essential as a good camera - in some cases more essential. This means we don't have to "guess" what's...

Hi All, Thanks to Stephen for getting this thread going. Nice job! And, once again, Poke takes the words right out of my mouth. However, we've all had that discussion already. I'm both a composer and a filmmaker. Speaking strictly as a filmmaker, I'm much more likely to share future successes...

First of all, allow me to say "ditto" to Poke's comments. He nailed it in my opinion. However, I do have one thing to add. I For me, half of the fun is the adventure of discovering for myself what works and what doesn't. Sure, I've studied the principle concepts of film making from camera...

I'll have to be different and say that Ron Howard is my main man. He has an incredible eye for taking on projects that will do well, and he has a keen ability to draw out the best in his cast and crew. Regards, Hutch

Stephen, Great website! Especially nice graphics and design. Regards, Hutch

Hey, we didn't steal his thread. We were just trying to provide his request with the attention that it deserves. :D

It totally depends on the mood you want to project, the size of the set, the amount of light you really need, how much natural light is available, day or night scene, how much set-up time you have, etc. You get the idea. I look at it this way. Get a picture in your mind of what you want, and...

Hi Michael, Your question is a great one. If you're wanting to start from the basics I would recommend the following site as a good starting ponit. http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/howto/story/0,24330,3417095,00.html Beyond that, I usually go to yahoo and type in a combination of keywords...

I guess the place where we differ is that you call it "giving away" your work and I call it just one more "opportunity" to "invest" in the "possibilities" and to do something that I love with passion and heart. The key word for me is "invest". I'm investing in myself and in someone else at the...

Stephen, It sounds like you are a good businessman and that will always be a great benefit to you. I don't disagree with you at a fundamental level, but I would simply add that, beyond a business and a craft, film scoring is also an art and we do our art out of passion and a love for it first...

I can't imagine what you might accomplish with a budget. Nice job. Very creative. Regards, Hutch

We just finished, and screened, (here in Atlanta,Ga.) our third production. This Christmas story, entitled Angel In The Aisles, was based, in part, on a true story and is the tail of a detective, caught up in a web of struggles, who discovers the important things in life through a most unusual...

Hi Stephen, I took no offense at your post. I would respectfully disagree with you though - and so would John Williams by the way. At the level that most people are at on this board, working for free is a matter of building relationships. In the long term that can be more lucrative than the...

Matte (and others...), Check out my credentials and recent samples of my work at: www.digitalsoundtracks.com I have a great job that pays the bills, so I often compose just for the love of it! I have 30 years of experience and own a recording studio and production company. Regards, Hutch...

Hey Poke, Thanks for the kind words of encouragement and for the objective thoughts. You're comments are well received and I agree in many respects. It's ironic that one of the scenes you are referring to was actually a music montage where a series of continuous cross fades of 2 guys talking...

I appreciate your comment. I must confess I have struggled to create an effective trailer for this project. That on top of the fact that this is the first trailer I have ever produced. The story does not have any sharp edges and is not action packed - so many of the things common to today's...

The Side Roads is a tale about a television journalist who is searching for that one news item that will help him make his break to the big time. On a dull assignment in a sleepy little town he finds something mystical and wonderful. This jaded reporter is about to discover that the past will...
