    No actors? Check this out

    That was beautiful. The song really made that a touching story for me... Very clever and extremely well done by a patience mind and a keen eye.

    archived-videos Promo trailer for sexy superhero movie!

    I understand your concern. This only works though if you have good CG sets. Your modeling is mediocre and you don't even texture a lot of your models. Not to mention you aren't very good at keying out color--there are times when part of the character's outfit disappears. I would have gone...

    editing Why so many digital indie short-films have such high contrast and saturation?

    OK, so it's not just laziness...it's fad as well. Definitely. When Matrix came out, everybody started using green grading... It seems to be happening to 'low light' now too...'My DSLR shoots great low light...we don't have to light anything, woo hoo!' It's too bad, because muddy ain't good...

    Just to have in your toolbox, I'd read Three Uses of the Knife by David Mamet. It will really help you in your endeavor to write, edit and direct. http://www.amazon.com/Three-Uses-Knife-Nature-Purpose/dp/037570423X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322931476&sr=8-1

    Looks great. No Parents. No Rules. No Oxygen. lol Really impressed with the production value on this. I don't know what the budget was, but you guys did a great job making it look hefty. And ummm...Aussie people are the hottest people in the world, so you've got that going for your production.

    Can You make a Demon Face?

    Don't go DEMON FACE!!! Noooo! One of the most over-used Video Copilot effects. Just follow the tutorial...ummm...if you can get a copy of AE of course. It's super easy, and Andrew the guy behind the videos is not only a wiz, but highly entertaining as well.

    Taking Acting Classes to help Directing

    That's never a bad idea. Anything to help you understand the actor would benefit you as a director. Also, editing some stuff is a huge help.

    When the talent isn't performing it like you need it, how early do you say "Cut." ??

    Generally, you'd let them finish...unless you're shooting on film and have a limited budget. Or the location is about to kick you out... You could also cut them early and blame it on the technical stuff...for instance, 'Cut! Sorry about that, we're going to go again for camera.' Of course you...

    Better acting vs. better shooting takes.

    Or if you're crazy good you move it during takes. I love watching a comfortable DP work...they just go there even mid-take. Move the entire rig, sticks and all. You have to get used to it...it's slightly jarring at first as an actor. I think DP/Director combos are best at this...they have the...

    Better acting vs. better shooting takes.

    Go with the best balance...if you need to choose between the two, go with the well-acted one. If the acting is super-bad...try to fix it with ADR. :) Typically a last resort. Ha ha! As mentioned above...set up your shots and rehearse blocking and camera until you can nail it...then have the...

    Great job. Good shot at winning for sure. How the heck did you get over 7K views, that's what I want to know...we've got a pretty good network of people sharing ours and we only hit 1k. I love the Dexter feel to this.
