Lynda.com is also a good resource, but it will cost you.

Directorik gave you some great advice and asked some great questions. What did you do? You made a snide comment. Yes... I made a comment that was an opinion, but I also gave you advice. You didn't like the advice. Fine. You came here looking for advice and you got it and and you got all...

I'd really like to see this budget since you don't even know what camera you will be shooting on. Camera packages vary greatly. No one was judging you. And you're fed up with producers because of ONE experience? You made a snide comment to directorik about whether or not he's made a film...

svandav... ROI = Return On Investment Investors want to know how you plan on recouping their investment plus how much they will get for investing. This is usually their money back plus 15%-20%. I agree with directorik... you're not ready to ask for $500,000. Hell... you're not ready to make...

I went to Columbia and graduated in 2001. Good school if you're willing to commit. The problem when I was there was that it was open enrollment (not sure if it still is) so a lot of people got in but never went to class. This may have changed. If you actually do the work it's a good school...

$2500 sounds about right, but if you have a US distributor they generally float the cost of it. You should double check with them. And no... not all distributors require a film be rated.

I used to use MySpace but it became a cesspool of others spamming my page. I've just given up on utilizing the social networking sites since the amount of time needed to keep it running properly just isn't worth it.

It's Filmmaker Magazine, Volume 17 Number 2. The cover story is about Urban Remedy. It's on Page 112. M1chae1 sounds like he made his decision, and I'm leaning towards self distribution for my next project as well. We're still a year away from release so I'm going to be watching the self...

He really should have, but is it any surprise Sean Penn won? After the Proposition 8 debacle Hollywood was bound to make a stand against it. This was their way.

$100? That's a steal. If I didn't already have it I'd jump at the chance!

I haven't explored Celtx too closely since I have FD7, but from what I can tell Celtx doesn't have the production tools the paid programs do. For what you're doing those productions tools aren't necessary. I'd suggest try Celtx to help learn screenplay format and then, if you end up working on...

Get some scriptwriting software. If you don't want to lay down $100+ for Final Draft, Movie Magic Screenwriter or Dramatica there is a free piece of software out there called Celtx. Google it and give it a try.

If you pick up the latest Filmmaker Magazine there is an article in there talking about self distribution. They talked to several filmmakers who chose the self distribution route, films with budgets ranging from $150,000 - $700,000. It's worth checking out if self distribution is something...

I think it depends on the plug-in, but most should work. Your best bet is to confirm with the creators of the plug-ins.

I don't recommend using the DVD Studio Pro subtitle creator because you can only use it in that program. If you license your film the distributor may use another program forcing you or them to re-type everything. Your best bet is to use some proprietary software that creates a standard...

I have the Mac Pro 2.5 GHz. All the Mac's will work well with the exception of MacBook and Macbook Air for video editing. It all depends on what you're willing to spend. No matter what make sure you have at LEAST 2GB RAM.

A little research goes a long way Blade. Baghead was shot on the HVX-200, which you can buy for under $5,000. A lot of people have this camera many of whom will freely lend it to friends. No cost there. Since footage is captured on a P2 card there is no tape stock, only the cost of an hard...

For the size of film editing software it all depends on what package you go with, but I don't know why it even matters. As far as I know all modern notebooks come with wi-fi. Then for free virus scanners there are several: check out AVG and Avira. And you do need power. Video editing is...

Yes it is.

The first set actually sells quite well because it's a compilation of three shorts based on a particular author short fiction work. He has a monthly newsletter and constantly mentions it. If I can make a buck off it all the better. I mainly do it for two reasons: I can get added to IMDB...
