uh huh, just a COLLABORATOR on your film, right? ;)

film aspect ratios are no different than normal ratios. 2:1 just means "two to one" so the width will be double height (Imagine 2 identical squares side by side, forming a rectangle) -- 2 units of width for every 1 unit of height! And if you look at 16:9, which is what most of us shoot at, you...

I liked it a lot more on the 2nd viewing. I don't think the story is "confusing" per se, rather there is very little of an actual story. The narrative of this film could have fit nicely in a short, but I think Carruth fills the empty space in this feature with a sort of visual poetry that can be...

put a color correction filter on your blue clips. Move the "white" color wheel away from the blues and into the yellows.

This might not help because I don't know what kind of look you're going for, but if there is a lot of artistic freedom with this project, I would just go for the "damaged film" look and embrace the blur. Add some textures and give it an old looking color grade. If this is some kind of...

I'm not based in london, but when I was first starting out in the industry I went over to the film department at my local community college (wasn't even enrolled) and talked to some people there, they recommended I go to the film club meeting, which led to me participating in a group filmmaking...

Well your mistake is assuming the OP is trying to write a "Mission Impossible type movie" but nowhere in his post does he mention the genre. He mentioned he wants suspense, which can mean anything. Nobody is disagreeing with you that the best screenplays have no plot holes or unbelievable...

Sorry, Birdman, but believability and plot hole are two completely different things. There are hundreds of reasons why the kidnappers might have/want to broadcast live, but it's up to harmonica to write the best one. If I saw a movie where a bank heister suddenly took off his mask, I'm not...

my honest opinion: work on your filmmaking skills for another few years on your own dime before asking others for money. The trailer is simply not good enough.

APE: this is exactly what I was hoping for, thank you. I had to read it a few times, but I understand now.

The Grand Budapest Hotel - 9/10 Usually don't care much either way for Wes Anderson's films, but this was thoroughly entertaining and his attention to detail was off the charts. Very funny film.

Ok, that makes sense. I think I was over thinking it. I do plan to have a professional handle my 5.1 mix, but I'm the kind of person that likes to understand the whole process before contacting/meeting with someone I want to hire.

Yeah, I understood what he meant by that. I'm not actually trying to watch the movie on my own with all 8 tracks, but I asked the quicktime question because the answer might help me better understand what is actually going in with these tracks. Seems weird to me that a filmmaker might deliver...

very helpful, thanks guys If I had a quicktime file with those 8 audio tracks, and I played it with Quicktime or VLC, how would the audio come out on my computer? Are those programs able to separate the tracks or would it play everything at once in a giant mess?

haha that makes a lot more sense. I just didn't know it was possible to have both. I'm now wondering how you would deliver that kind of format and how theatres can read channels set up that way.

people who try to take hostages in exchange for a ransom are RARELY ever smart people. It's completely believable to me that they didn't think to do it ahead of time. Also, you could make is so they recorded it ahead of time, but one of the bad guys (the "idiot" one) accidentally records over...

I tend to ask a lot of audio questions here, but I think these will be my last ones. Thanks in advance. If these are the specs I'm shooting for: Audio must have 8 channels of audio -5.1 – L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs / PCM Little Endian -Ch. 7 stereo left, Ch. 8 stereo right / PCM Little Endian Does...

If you're an introverted director all you really need is a confident extroverted producer or AD who trusts you (or whom you are paying to trust you). Everyone else can report to him/her and you can be alone with your thoughts at video village :)

The original question asked in this thread was "I'd like to know if anyone is jumping on the Christian film bandwagon?" In my post I simply stated that I was not jumping on that bandwagon, and explained my reason. Not against forum rules. I only elaborated on my personal beliefs because Zen...

I believe in the pursuit of knowledge, and it is of my opinion that religion stunts the growth of knowledge because it presents us with an "answer" and robs us of a need to ask more questions. I don't mind films that have religious themes, or films that are based on stories from the bible as...
