There is no set, single answer to this question. A lot depends on your audience. A lot depends on your intentions. Screenwriting winds up being a bit of a balancing act; you don't want to come across like you're spoon-feeding the audience, or being expository, but you don't want your audience to...

From what I hear, just don't update to 11. Crashes abound.

+1, let the chip dictate the mobo. Generally speaking, any major motherboard series is designed to where it has boards covering each of the major chipsets. So if you just look for a board that fits your chip, you can then narrow down one that works for your size and component specifications...

I suppose that would likely depend on the level of the production. It's very likely that in my example, all the paper-trading was taken care of between company lawyers and Rourke's agent. There's a good chance that neither the execs nor Mickey even heard about it until it was already finalized...

Sure, look at Mickey Rourke in Iron Man 2 and The Expendables. He even had the same hair cut because the shooting schedule overlapped.

My buddy who's a big Vegas nut that fell out of love with them at Vegas 11 is starting to get starry-eyed for Vegas 12, so it's looking like an interesting time for the Sony software. If you're buying one of the two, however, I'd go with Adobe until Sony releases Vegas 12, and there's a bit of...

If by non-K version you mean the 3820, then yes, that's a decent chip, and solely for editing might even be a better choice. The Problem is that it's 4-core versus 6-core, though, so for programs like After Effects that can handle multi-core processing, I like to be able to give each of my six...

Because the 3960X is almost double the price for at best marginal gains in output. Both are unlocked for overclocking as desired. Sure the 3960 can be pushed a bit further, but for acquiring the best performance/cost ratio, I felt the 3930k was the chip for me.

For myself, I built my own monster. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9Jle I think if you have the time, patience, and know-how: build a PC. If you just have the know-how: buy a PC. If you just want to focus on editing and neither know or want to know about computers: get a Mac.

It's rough, but almost always better to have as many options as possible in the editing room. If it's still an option, can him and go with your second choice for the role.

One hand: This is a decent opportunity. Other hand: It will amount to very little if it black lists you. My recommendation: Charge a minimal box fee for cost of equipment, and suggest that they bring someone on who's comfortable with your equipment and is better at sound than you. Suggest...

Do you think you'd be able to change around some of the project colors based on their current status? Just for the sake of being able to sort them mentally more easily? For Example: In Progress Self-Cancelled Unfunded Partially Funded Funded If you don't have the time, no biggie, but I think...

I think it all boils down to how many offers to distribute you're going to get in the next five years. If the answer is less than one, then consider taking it. If you think you'll be able to get a better deal, though, then hold out. Just be realistic about it.

Bad ass, one of the better game trailers I've seen in a while; it doesn't need tons of loud noises, quick cuts, and bright explosions, yet it holds my interest the whole way through. The aesthetic comes across almost as a Samurai Jack meets Chronicles of Narnia. Love it!

Wait, so a lens that's optically better than yours along with two other lenses to sweeten the deal, and all for $150 more than your single lens? ...I think you answered your own question...

Diffuse, diffuse, OMG diffuse. Bring a few soft reflectors and a decent amount of really wide diffusion and you should be able to get pretty far along where you're going.

I, uh...really? I mean, I haven't been here a very long time, but I've noticed a very specific set of unspoken rules that people tend to follow here. I mean, in general people tend to strive to help, and I've never seen the magic forums, but I've seen a few threads that have you wading waist...

The premiere 3-way color corrector isn't bad. It's not FANTASTIC, but it allows for lift/gamma/gain color influence and saturation adjustment, so you've got a decent amount of power there. Feel free to use it, but only after you've properly corrected the white balance of your shots. Making sure...

Go to the Free Sound Project. They have all sorts of effects that are pretty much open and available to anyone, but make sure to read the terms of use before using them. Seriously, these guys have the decency to be an incredible boon to the indie community, and sound designers are...

How cheap are you looking for, and what are you most focused on having it do?
