Quite an obvious statement... Only problem is that an inherent crop factor essentially shrinks space for you. I would rather not have to use expensive fisheye lenses indoors just so that the crop factor allows me to see the inside of a room. It tends to be quite a bit easier to go long than...

Agreed wholeheartedly, but probably for different reasons. Unless you're trying to introduce the camera as a character as part of the theme of your doc, trying to incorporate the viewer as a direct spectator interacting with your subjects, the idea of the sound being centralized on the camera...

Interesting interpretation of something the infographic never says. Like I mentioned before, it says the villains shouldn't be cartoony. That's a statement far and away independent from not having depth. Just because they don't change doesn't mean they're one-dimensional. You would, because...

If you have the time and budget, put up fly-away walls in front of their walls. Primed Plywood, or something. You could wallpaper those. If that's not an option, then either give up and deal with the walls as they are, try and split the difference by set-dressing them with pictures and such, or...

...I'm starting to get the impression that we're both arguing the exact same point, and just misconceiving that the other is trying to disagree. I'm trying to argue that villains don't absolutely need arcs and that the article doesn't even try to really argue that they do. By what you said...

"STAR WARS - A NEW HOPE" 1) The villain doesn't necessarily need his own arc. Being "cartoony" and not having an arc are two separate things. Look at Clarance Boddicker from Robocop. He had zero arc, but was an incredible villain. 2) This is a terrible example because by the end of the...

Didn't realize that was a feature of AdBlock Plus. Thanks, problem solved!

I got the joke, but I couldn't help but see the cat and think "aw, poor thing. It was probably someone's pet. They probably miss it dearly." :tear: :mope:

There are entirely different styles for different people, no one of them necessarily "right". I've dealt with a few introverted directors. Their sets just tend to be a bit more heirarchical than extroverted directors. With an introverted director, it's important to augment your team with...

Pyramid scheme's aren't exactly "unique"...

FFP, consider building your resume a bit without paying thousands of dollars of other people's money on a professional correctionist first. Get many of your biggest mistakes out of the way before you burn bridges with potentially useful connections.

And now alcove has made me sad...

Pretty phenomenal DIY, guys! Good job!

^ This. If you really want to add a warm glow to everything, perhaps try a decent lens filter, or some post-work. Changing color temperature both in camera and after shooting are some of the easiest things to do. Hell, if you want the easiest possible way to better pictures where skin tone...

The entire time the topic was loading I kept thinking "please be satire, please be satire..."

Did you double-check to make sure you don't have any of your audio tracks turned off on the timeline?

If you're cutting back to the original scene, it's almost a waste to make a new scene header each time you switch. You could really just flag the section in an action block. Possibly even pull a Darabont and flag the scene with a montage title, the flag the cuts with a title that's actually the...

With a good 4-hour block, and if I'm on a roll, I can usually knockout a good 15-20 pages. Most days, though, something's bound to break the focus. Then again, during my first reading, I'd rather have taken 2 months to have a 90 page script of powerful writing than 1 week for a 120 page spiral...

Wow, incredibly helpful, thank you very much! It's pretty much settled at this point, I'll have to grab one of these. Even just as a B-Cam for secondary setups, complex rigs, or BTS, this thing seems to be well worth the cost.
