Hey all, For anyone who's interested, just shot this little short comedy on the AF100, it's only three minutes long. What do you all think? Comments/criticisms welcome. "Two friends discuss just how disgusting a fat dump truck can be." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDA3aUAXa9I Thanks! - Tommy

Thanks again! In regards to selling the camera, I just wish I had another crew person for some diffusion so it wasn't so darned overexposed in some shots. But, I'm glad the image still held up even in spite of that. It really is a great camera. And thank you for that...it's probably one of the...

Thanks so much, I'm glad it was able to reach you like that. It's probably one of the best complements I could get. I agree with you about it being a bit forced and/or over-amped. It was one of the biggest things I was concerned with while shooting and especially in post when I was editing, I'm...

Hey all, I just finished up my short drama "The Right To Sadness". This was going to be my entry into the Your Film Festival contest, alas I did not realize the close time was 12am...GMT. But, oh well. There will be other contests. I would very much appreciate honest feedback and criticisms...

Mr. Luce, you make me giggle.

Well I'm sure a lot of good people start in local theatre, I just now know that currently there aren't really any talented people in local theatre. Around where I am the local arts community is unfortunately very non-existent. However, I will look into paying actors. I'm just trying my best to...

There is a theatre department at my college, yes...and there is one at the local community college. I've been to many shows, I wouldn't use those people if they payed ME. Unfortunately, I've explored A LOT of local avenues such as community theatres, colleges, etc. Generally people don't commit...

I guess I'll have to try it for the next project, then. It'd be easier if I had a steadier income, but going to college doesn't help with that.

Well the problem is if I pay one actor, I should pay them all AND I should pay my crew. I really can't afford that. I *might* be able to afford to pay one actor $100 for 2, MAYBE 3 shoots, then I'm done. Let alone multiple actors for multiple shoots and crew. I would LOVE to be able to pay...

The problem is that scheduling times to rehearse is ridiculously hard. A lot of the actors I use come from an hour or two hours away, so when I can even get them in one place just to shoot it's a miracle, let alone scheduling additional times for rehearsal. They don't want to do that much...

Hey all, Some of you may have seen some of my stuff I've posted over in the screen room, and as I've been making films for the past couple years now, I feel like I've begun to hit a plateau. I'm reaching a point where I feel like the weakest link in my films is the acting, whereas it used to be...

Yeah I agree, I think I pushed the shadows a bit too much in post. That combined with already dark lighting on the face didn't help. Thanks for watching and commenting, glad you liked it! :)

Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the detailed feedback. I agree with your thoughts about the close angles. They can be good for some occasions, but I don't know how well they worked here. And, your idea about the rant can be used in another short, perhaps a sequel? I do like rants :)...

Haha, I suppose I could have gone with Professor Xavier (when he was younger, of course)! Can't top the Batman though. Thanks for watching and the comments! :)

Hey all, I've just put the finishing touches on my short film "Matchmaker". Check it out if you get a chance and let me know what you think! :) "The perfect woman comes to a matchmaker to find her perfect man so she won't be lonely for the holidays."...

+1, I agree. That said, I don't think any serious or fun discussion will be happening either way :P

Suicide isn't funny, neither is this "short film." It's too ridiculous to be a spoof, too far-out to be a farce, and too offensive to be funny. The "cinematography" is boring, you just threw lights on your actors faces. The actors are also terribly, terribly unfunny. And this "Please kill...

For the love of God, don't bill your own material as "actually funny." It just turns people off AND it's offensive to everyone else on here who produces films. I've made comedy films myself, why would I want to watch yours if you come on here insulting my films and everyone elses? That said, I...

The shooting and lighting was nice on the clip (though there were some awkward shadows cast from her head onto your chest), but I didn't really feel the humor. This could certainly be for a number of reasons, the main one being that the clip was out of context. That said, I really didn't find...

That makes such a huge difference. It'd be nice to at least get actors who are committed and responsible (let alone professionally trained). So many people just seem to want do it for poops and giggles. "Oh acting? That sound like fun!" That mentality makes it very hard for those of us who are...
