12 I hear is a pretty sweet spot for a short.

People sometimes say, 'everyone is directable.' Well, I'm not quite sure about that. There are a few questions you should ask yourself about your actors, 1. Can they act...really act? 2. Are they professional? 3. Do they come prepared? If you can't answer those few questions, your project will...

Every actor works differently. Some actors get very familiar with the scenes, but don't commit the future shooting days to memory. Only a day or two before an actual shoot day for a scene will an actor commit them to memory. This is what I do. Sometimes scenes commit to memory very easily...

Ya, pretty much what U said. It can also mean that he knows his lenses and cameras better--can immediately call out the lens he wants and the shot to the DP and/or shooter. Also, a director that can 'shoot to edit' could be considered 'technically' better than a director that relies a shot...

Looks like a solid cast. Very cool. Good luck. Are you sure everyone's cast? Hmmm?

Depending on your area, you may have social film sites that cater to this kind of posting (example: Ourfilmspace.com or NEfilm.com for NE area). Great place to post auditions. Facebook is another place. Even researching film production companies in your area, finding out the cast, and...

I found the camera work to be inconsistent. At times, the handheld was good, and at other times it was way too squishy and wobbly--as if the camera man was shifting his hands on the camera for a better grip...but the shot was kept. I thought the dialog and acting was stilted and forced. The...

I'm not sure the exact brand, but I'll find out and post tonight. Instagater...fitting name. lol. Kidding. So you think the screenies look 'amateurish'? What about the use of them in Star Trek? Is this a base opinion on flares, or for the screenies I posted?

Pretty cool, thanks for the link.

That was well done. Really nice. And yes the slow mo sillos were excellent. I think there are a few sound pops and trims I would work on...but other than that, great mate.

I wonder how loud a pacemaker is...does it make a sound? Because yesterday the sound mixer said he could hear my heart with the lav.

Michael Caine once said, "Think of all the wonderful things to say when you're not talking, and decide not to say them." I wouldn't say, 'Why do actors believe this...', I would say, amateur actors believe this. Most good/experienced actors have a lot going on all the time. And let's not...

Good luck with this. Looks great.

The bumps won't be amplified by going handheld...we all know what it's like to hold a hot cup of coffee in a moving car--our arm steadies it like a natural shock absorber. It's not the best choice, but it will work, and has for us several times.

I would go handheld...or you can have a little self-made make-shift steady cam rig for your came as well...but your own body should compensate pretty well...at least much better than a tripod. You can also get some cool shots where you hold the camera close to the road for low angle...good stuff.

Oh hey you know Jess? That's awesome. Ya, her and I get a long really well. She's super cool.

Hey all. Was wondering what you thought about anamorphic lenses. We are shooting Red with 1970's Russian anamorphic lenses and the DP is a big fan of lens flares. What do you think of this style? I know it's hard to judge by a still frame, because it's important to see how the flare moves...

Fun stuff. Fun idea. It looks solid as well. I wouldn't put the nazi bit in there...that seems like something you shouldn't know until that part of the movie.
