American Pie: The Wedding 3/10 I like the American Pie series, but this was the second worst next to Book of Love imo. Had quite a few cliché moments, and I personally felt that the Stiffler overplayed his role as Stiffler. A Royal Affair 7/10 A decent film about a historical time in Denmark...

Cool shortfilm - well played! I like the fact that they are drunk, and I guess to some limit it can be a good way for amateur actors to open themselves - lol.... That's the beauty of directing - all sort of crazy ideas like this might eventually result in a success! Heck, there is a scene in...

There is a thread about this very subject on the directing forums: http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=48385 My two cents is that it is not necessary, but would be a bonus to most directors. There are many famous directors who never acted in their life.

Hey there, Musicdudez. I'm a young aspiring director as well - 19 years old and from Denmark. Let me share my approach to this, maybe you can be inspired even though I'm not the old wise guy. First of all, it wasn't until earlier this year that I knew this is what I wanted to work with. I...

The Prestige 8.5/10 It was pretty good. A lot of excitement and plot twists. I kinda felt it lacked something to earn the extra 1.5 stars. It didn't leave me with thrills.

IF he has a DoP/gaffer. It sounds to me like he hasn't - otherwise he would probably have asked them at first. I think many filmmakers on here, including me, haven't even moved on to work with gaffer/DoP yet, because we are still young and experimental (and broke). :)

Thank you for the elaboration. The DEC - depth tip is very cool. I'll try that. Just as an update - today I tried to film with these lights. Let's just put it this way - HUGE failure in every aspect, sadly. First of all, the lights got extremely hot. As a complete idiot when it comes to...

That is 3-point lighting though. I only have two pieces of light. :huh:

I deeply appreciate your answer, but for someone without any knowledge about lighting whatsoever, that was very hard to understand. As I said, I haven't been playing around with lighting gear before - I don't even know how to avoid ugly shadows hehe - would probably be a start to learn that!

It's the intro scene to a shortfilm about a guy who realises he has grown his first pimple - just before his dream date. Starts with the guy inserting his iPhone in the loudspeakers, then dressing on, just taking a quick look in the mirror when he sees the pimple. He goes kinda crazy, decides to...

Hey guys. Tomorrow I'll be shooting my first shortfilm with lighting gear. I've borrowed two lights from my school, but I've no clue how to use them. I know there is a lot of customization when it comes to lighting, but I'd like to hear your inputs. I'm going to record inside a rather large...

Sure. Thanks for asking. This is a kind of compilation video I edited for the largest freestyle football forum back in 2011: http://vimeo.com/19879429 This is the commercial I made for a danish paintball company: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ73HWTsq9c This is my first short film. It's a...

Well, by broke I mean that I will not able to go buy anything above $100. These furniture sliders are pretty damn cheap, I'm just not at which kind of store I could possibly buy them. :)

That looks great! Not perfecly smooth, but it's indeed enough for my needs. However, as mentioned, I'm going to shoot this on Sunday, and I live in Denmark. Therefore, it wont be possible to get those furniture sliders within my time limit. Is that like a common item in a certain shop I could go...

It is indeed inside on a carpet. But I haven't heard about those "furniture sliders". Could you please link me the product you're referring to, or maybe some kind of tutorial? Thank you btw!

Hey guys. On Sunday I'll be making my second shortfilm. I've everything ready, but for my first shot, I wanted to do a shot like the "A Clockwork Orange" intro, where the camera tracks/zooms away from Alex. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI-mDTdeKR8 Just FYI, my shortfilm is about a...

Hello everyone. My name is Asker. I'm a filmmaker from Denmark, hoping to become a professional director/screenwriter. Obviously (like most others) with the dream of making it into theaters one day. I've been editing stuff since I was about 13. It wasn't until last year, when I was directing a...
