Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I think I will throw in a VO. There's a lot going on that's culture specific that could be explained better.

Can you elaborate on what part was worse? The arrest or the introduction of the actors?

Yeah, not sure about where the cheesiness is coming from - I guess it could be the music. I hope it doesn't turn out that way though, it's based on a true story (maybe 90% accurate). I used a Sony CX160 to film everything.

This is the second trailer to Seoul Nights - based on a true story. It will be out in a couple of days. I was hoping you all could give me some feedback - thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvdxD0SZJHU

I'm just finishing up my film "Seoul Night." It was fun, stressful and a true learning experience. But now I have this film and besides an few film festivals, I really am not sure what to do with it. The main purpose was to use it as a proof-of-concept for a feature film of the same name that...

This the first time I was "hired" as a director to make a video production. A friend of mine wanted to make a MV to go along with his semi-religious rap song. And I said, why not? I'm not into Christian music but I like the guy and I needed the experience. Moreover, he has real talent so I...

Hey man, I know what you're going through, I actually live in Korea right now. I have a job, and I use some of my finances to fund my filmmaking. My wife doesn't really care for this. I feel that the film industry is extremely competetive and cut throat. Everyone's in it for themselves...

As I watched 'Inland Empire' which was filmed entirely in SD, I wondered just how important is the camera(s) that I use for my short films. I have a D90 and a Sony CX150 that I've used extensively. I used to think that better camera = better picture but now I'm not so sure. I recently saw a...

Well as for ADR, I prefer to not to do it as well. I dunno, you can synch it pretty easy. It's just the emotion or passion -- like your were saying -- doesn't really seem to come through. Sets -- I you don't have cash, just be creative. Just look up what an average presecutor's office looks...

Well, It depends. It can looked dubbed if your actors say their lines differently or with a different speed. But I would say more than half of the time if you have clearer/better audio on one take, you can synch it up with other. Because it's the same person, it usually won't be too bad, or...

This is so so true. Pictures are not enough! There are plenty of times where I met the actor/actress that I was casting for a role--and not even recognize them! You will be surprised!

At some point during the shoot, one or more actors will start to give you suggestions for scenes. Take this in to account, because many times if can help but don't spend too much time doing this. You could end up with the shoot coming to a standstill, which is what happen to me. You should...

There are plenty of females wanting to have their chance to act, eventually they'll apply. I've been slowly transitioning from goofing off to getting serious with my work. Here's a few things I've learned; Up until now, you've probably made a few vids with your family and friends. With...

Thanks, that was just what I was looking for! Looking back at the trailer, I can see what you're talking about. I should have tried to grab people's attention from the beginning. I also dragged out the scenes a little long. Hopefully, I'll be finishing up the shoot in a couple of days and...

If you love it in the States, you would be in heaven here! I eat more than American food by far.

Wow, I'm impressed. This actually looked like a real film. Looking good so far, but I have no idea about the story. Looking forward to seeing it.

Overall, I really liked this! I had mixed feelings about the ending though, but I maybe I'm not getting the message. Anyways good sound and good lighting. I can definitely tell you put a lot of work into this. TKD

Right on. Did you live in Korea before?

Hello all, This is the latest short film I've been working on, it's called "Seoul Nights" and it's about the Korean club scene from a foreigner point of view. I'm halfway done, but thought I would post the teaser and get some feedback. Thank you! TKD...

I didn't watch the whole thing, but I liked what I saw. My only thing would be the wardrobe. If you could have wore actual uniforms then it would have definitely added to your short film.
