    Vimeo VS Youtube, Thoughts?

    Way I tend to handle it is to upload to both. If you're linking people who are specifically looking to watch a video link them to the vimeo. Rely on your YouTube channel to push your personal brand, though.

    editing Magic bullet looks, how to achieve this ?

    To my eye it looks like most of the work was done by tossing on a bleach bypass and a heavy vignette, and probably a slight s-curve to the contrast. Nothing too rough. MAYBE some diffusion as well, but some shots had me second-guessing that opinion.

    Film Poster in background

    This is why you should PLAN for this sort of thing, but I digress. Either try to take it out in post, reshoot, ask (beg) for official permission, or keep your fingers crossed. There's no single answer.

    No Storyboard, No Shot List Directors

    I typically walk onto set with a well planned and typed-out shotlist. I typically grab about 20% of the shots as they were planned, and let inspiration take control of the other 80%. What I use the shotlist for in that kind of situation is as a checklist to make sure that I have what that shot...

    Parenthetical Question

    In your instance there you probably don't even need the parentheticals to specify that he's addressing the team unless there are a number of other characters in the scene that could confuse the direction. If Spencer and his team are the major character in that moment, then the line should be...

    synopsis Is this a good synopsis and logline?

    I'm confused...did you just make a post asking for people's opinions on a logline/synopsis and then take a negative response as incentive to proceed unchanged? ...to each their own, I guess...

    Syd Field's screenwriting book and short films

    In my opinion, the structure is a solid guideline, but it morphs to your format, not the other way around. Normally with a short, you'll need your act 1 to conclude within the first minute. Often this causes the inciting incident to have happened before the short begins, but if done well that...

    color-grading Color Grading software

    As with everything, it's probably best to focus on the fundamentals before jumping feet first into the most expensive software you can afford. After all, would you rather have a pro with a curves adjustment, or a novice with resolve grade your film? Here's a decent link for a bare-bones guide...

    color-grading Color Grading software

    +1. Davinci is quite a powerful software, and worth acquiring. Alternately, if you decide to go RED, getting a baseline knowledge of Redcine-X isn't a bad call. However, even the stock color correction capabilities in most NLEs can get you most of the way there. Practice with levels...

    Screenshots for "Wyatt"

    Third day went brilliantly! Several delays in availability for actors, equipment, and animals put us behind a few weeks. Technical limitations are also pushing us to do one more day indoors with a greenscreen. Here's a few screen-caps: http://i.imgur.com/EYpAr.jpg http://i.imgur.com/UoYYK.jpg...

    cinematography Colour Grading - Cinematography Project

    Enjoyed everything for the most part, very straightforward stuff, bump contrast, balance the shots. Nice stuff. The only thing I'd recommend would be doing a secondary on her skin and punching up in the pink a bit. She seems a bit yellow in the shots, and it looks slightly unnatural. The only...

    Can male nudity hurt a horror movie?

    It didn't hurt 28 days later, but they also didn't do it for the sake of being gratuitous. Gratuitous nudity is a hallmark of trash horror.

    Looking for writers who have written adaptations

    Hey Riley, I've written an adaptation as part of a direct-to-DVD Poe anthology. Not sure if that's the vein of what you're looking for, but if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

    Name That Screengrab

    Would've been a lot easier if you showed Woody Harrelson in the shot. It's Defendor, right?

    Nailed it! Crack Shot! Good job, and bonus points for the ZZ Top (even though the video clip you grabbed doesn't appear to have the shot anywhere in it)!

    Name That Screengrab

    Good analysis, and you're not off base with any particular thing...except the guess. Not Annie Get Your Gun. Nice guess, but not it.
