these are amazing! where i live, you can only really learn DV, the only actual celluloid we learn about is super8, and that knowledge is limited, so these videos are really interesting to me, i love this stuff. I'm moving to Sydney later this year just so I can learn more about film, and these...

their kind of slogan is Beat The Drum and their logo is a drum so you're probably right, i don't remember it though

speaking of australian-ness, it's Australia Day tomorrow and the Triple J Hottest 100 is on, i don't know about you lot, but i'm excited haha

yeah Walter, i'm from Canberra, i see you live in Sydney, i'm moving there in November (oh what fun!)

hey bird, not meaning to start anything here but really, it's not necessary to point out that Mr. Blonde is a girl, it has no relelvance to the discussion that she is female, the other Mr Blonde hasn't posted in here (yet at least) so there's no room for confusion, i just think it was unnecesarry..

hahaha i'm ashamed? but yeah, lets get back on topic, what's your point of view on all this "true filmmaking" hubbub Will?

hahaha well i see that now :P

you and your shivs...

like you beat me... HA!

hahaha, apart from Poke, this thread is just us arguing hahaha, we're subjecting people to stuff they don't need to be subjected to :P

yeah, we really need more Singin' In The Rain's... Death To Smoochy had a musical side to it (great film) but not to the level of a full on musical but hey, i guess we can just hope Baz Luhrman liked making musicals haha, i haven't seen Moulin Rouge but i hear its quite the experience..

hahaha no i haven't seen Crossroads, but like i said, there is still a business side, which is why films like that come out, but the industry is far more artistic these days

hahaha okay, what i said doesn't sound like what i meant, i mean, back in the classic days of cinema, they'd kinda churn out the films, not so much looking for content, but just to make money, they'd make like so and so films a year, because they had a quota kind of thing, but nowadays, it's...

hahaha not so much lazy, it just became more of an art form rather than a business, so things changed, i think for the better, the range now is excellent, so much freedom, but some purists out there probably disagree

its kinda like a glasses thing, you can look at life through different glasses, but it doesn't stop it from being real life, but different glasses can add to or alter the experience. you get me? it's the content that defines cinema, and really, there is no such thing as "true filmmaking"...

hahaha no, i'm talking about a bunch of d*ckheads on a different forum :P i jumped at the chance of talking about cinema seeing as you're the only person i know who likes to, and you weren't on

my film teacher last year asked me if i was a filmmaker or movie maker, i said "i'm a cinematic magician, i make movie magic!" and then i did a little spirit fingers, hand thing, she just rolled her eyes and walked away... and who doesn't want to see Sin City?? i can't wait!

i was talking with a few people the other day, and someone brought up that using digital means in the upcoming film Sin City is wrong because it's not "true filmmaking". That because Robert Rodiguez is using HD rather than 35 or even 16mm, it isn't "true filmmaking". I, along with a few others...

what're you talkin' about? we talk about Quentin fairly often hahaha

that is an excellent explanation right there well said
