Full-time missionary in East Africa, specializing in North Kenya and South Sudan. Between leading relief-work teams and managing transportation/security for smaller campaigns, I also do a LOT of freelance media work. Business has been booming after I've directed 2 Nairobi music videos, and...

Thanks, IndieBudget, I'll absolutely look into that. Sounds like it could save me a lot of hassle and cut down on the technical steps between shooting and editing that I find least interesting. Also, Seblip, it's only a minor point, but I'd recommend spending a few extra bucks to get an...

I had the same problem a few years ago. I've been using FCE ever since, and because I'm constantly on the go (doing a lot of freelance travel videography in East Africa, and soon, in Europe as well) with naught more than a Macbook and a hard drive, I find that the smaller scope of Express is...

Gladiator - 6/10 Went back after five or six years expecting to be amazed and impressed all over again (not to mention wanting to gain back all the respect I lost for Ridley Scott after Robin Hood, that terrible mess), but was surprised at how drab it was, graphically speaking. Dull palette...

Since I have limited space, I won't be able to take any serious lighting equipment besides some reflectors and gels, so most of the lighting will involve getting creative with Shop Lights at or above 500 Watts. However, lighting is not as terrible an issue in Kenya/Sudan. Since we're right on...

Good advice. Actually, the missionary organization I work for has a "no bribery" policy, and we are expected to stick to that even in the most extenuating of circumstances. For instance, if you get pulled over without your seatbelt on, the policeman will always offer to cleanse your record with...

*sorry technical problems* the one real technical hurdle to overcome is that the compound doesn't have high-speed internet. Go figure.

I don't know if I'll end up double-posting here... I already tried to respond to this, and got the "a moderator must approve this" window, but after a day, nothing seems to have posted. I'll see if this one goes through. In response, I must be honest with you - most of my movies have been 3-10...

Hi, indietalk! This is my first post, but I've hovered around for a few days. So I moved from the L.A.-area to Nairobi, Kenya a few months ago for a missionary job. I'm planning on shooting a feature in the area in December 2010, and have already acquired excited actors (who will work for...
