    Can you slander a police department?

    If it's real (documentary) and you didn't claim anything false. Than it's okay. but Ask a lawyer. just call one up, they should tell you over the phone if it's simple. Just don't expect them to hear what you recorded. explain it to them concisely.

    Hi Sweetie, I think your comment is a good one. It's making me think I should set up a completion bond style account, not accessible by us, only a third party for when the competition is done. Also, where do you get 200k? 50k and 100k raised, but that's two separate competitions. I know we...

    Split screen tips?

    WOW. Thanks for the ideas. I think shooting at the same time might be possible, and that way I only need to direct the scene once, rather than time it perfectly with an imaginary person there. These people being shot are not actors, so it might be useful.

    Corporate Video

    I'm making a corporate video. They have a script. It's okay. Do you think it's a good idea to start with the music first...find that, then worry about the visuals?

    cinematography How knowledgeable should directors be in cinematography?

    By Definition, a cinematographer is the director of the dop's. Becuae prior to the 80's dp's were camera operators and then they started shooting with multiple cameras... so Director should not know more than a cinematographer - by semantics.
