Thanks for watching and for the feedback! @Ryan G I debated over whether or not to keep that shot where his eyes are out of frame, and eventually decided to do so because no eye contact is the only way the girl could have tolerated that line. I understand that it bugs everyone on the filmmaking...

Hello Indies, it's been a year since I logged on. I've been busy at my first year of university and spending a lot of time working on film craft. In the middle of my second semester, I started working on a short film that was, for me, quite ambitious because of a relative limit in resources. I...

Thanks, knightly! I took a look at the motions tab and the scale was different from the rest. I set all the same sequence settings, then adjusted the scale to 100 - it still didn't look right. But I realized there was distortion set to each clip. I don't know why though. It's rendering right...

Yes, it is set to 'fit to window', which is why I didn't notice the problem earlier - the original footage looked the same size as the clips in the timeline. I used a 7D, 1920x1080. I don't think it was an import problem, because the clips imported play in full quality, it's only the ones in...

Hello, I spent the morning editing a sequence - fixing the audio in Soundtrack Pro and then color correcting and rendering. Everything's fine, except when I export it, the dimensions are incorrect. I thought it was an exporting problem, but I realized that there is something wrong with my...

Hello, One of my future projects involves a character shrinking into a smaller size (size of a toddler) when she's sitting on the ground in a hall. Another scene involves the same character lying on the couch but with awkward proportions (stretched arms, legs...etc.). I use FInal Cut Pro, and...

I'm intrigued by the price of these accessories - the rigs and all. I liked the filming of the short too, but I agree that something else needs to happen at the end to make it more interesting. It was nicely shot though. And actually, I didn't mind the focus issue THAT much. Sure there were...

I like the idea of having the viewer create the beginning and ending! And all the shots were done really nicely. I especially liked the following of his steps; I thought it was quite impressive. Your actor looks a bit like Ben Affleck in some shots, haha. Good job!

What's a "better screenwriting mousetrap"?

Someone want to try this with their videos? I wonder what he does for a living, having the time to do that a thousand times. I get frustrated uploading one video on YouTube, let alone uploading and ripping at the same time.

I was wondered how the effects for one person morphing into another worked. Is it a transition? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/M1dVZ3r83Bo&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen"...

Thanks for the comments! We only had one day to finish all the shooting (both lip syncing and outside), and we wanted to do everything during the day and avoid night shots (just for timing purposes, we had to finish at around 6 or 7 and started at 2). For that reason we had to give up the shots...

We used two Canon 7Ds to film. Here's the link to our YouTube channel. We're a small group and plan to make more videos soon, but most people on this forum are, haha. Feel free to subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="1280" height="745"><param name="movie"...

Okay it's a preview. But I'll upload the actual one when I'm done! Let me know what you think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<object width="1280" height="745"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tesBz1H39MQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen"...

Currently I'm using a microphone from Azden, but I'm also considering changing to a Rode VideoMic. I've seen video taken with the 50mm f1.8 and it looks quite good. The EF-S 17-85mm is an amazing lens, but I'm not sure how it'll turn out on video. As for manual focus, I do like to have control...

I'm thinking of buying the Canon 7D to do my primary video recording. I'll still have my Canon HG10 available incase I need it. Any advice for a new SLR-film user? I'll be using a 50mm f1.8 lens and probably the EF-S 17-85mm as well. Share any experience you have with general SLR filming! I'm...

Hello, I finished a second draft this afternoon, here if you're interested: http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0ByBFbIIAEFiONDk1NzA0MGQtMTA5ZC00Zjg4LThmODEtN2RhN2I3Yjk0M2Ey&hl=en Some dialogue has been changed in the beginning. But the major changes are in the middle and towards the end.

I never get production credits that last for half the video length. Maybe next time, think of a good story first and then use stop motion as a media to tell your masterpiece.
