That may be, but the Red series has made it's name comparing itself to the film format as well as lesser digital cameras. I phrased my question wrong. I'm wondering what would happen if you tried to emulate the film look using the best digital cameras. If the image is better, I suppose you...

Haha, true. The ULTIMATE film look. Hey, suppose he shot that with a red instead of 35mm, would that look better? Isn't that camera supposed to have surpassed film, or maybe I'm wrong and it only matches.

Yeah, I agree. The subtle styles achieved with any color correction technique means nothing if the film isn't planned and executed to begin with. The look is the least important aspect to a film compared that everything else that makes a film cinematic. But I think considering the look is still...

Digital is the future of cinema, so knowing how to achieve the film look with digital is worthwhile.

Well, workshops ain't a bad idea. Think of how many film people you could get in touch with just by going in for one week. Next time you want to do a movie, you just need to call them up and you got yourself a crew.

Really informative thread guys, sweet deal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think white blowouts refer to when you overexpose parts of the frame resulting in a loss of detail. Many cameras have the zebra function, which will tell you which parts of the frame are potentially losing detail. I...

For me, film school was downright essential. Film school basically makes you think about film 24/7. Not only are you going to class for film, you live with your fellow filmmakers. You talk about film A LOT. It's like how normal people talk about sports. You talk about the films you've watched...

It does need more work. The more I think about the idea, the more I like it. I'm writing a script up right now, and will be posting it.

Quick story. Marijuana helps my creative process a lot, because I can get excited about an idea and just run with it. The only problem is that sometimes I get so excited, I feel my heart racing a million miles an hour and I start having trouble taking deep breaths. So one day, I get high. I...

That's an awesome idea for a rewrite, assuming you have the budget for such an epic battle and I'm guessing you want a feature length? My treatment is meant for a ten minute movie tops. Dude, I think the hero has to win not just by killing Jello, but by explaining to the aliens why Jello's...

Dr. Jello is a very bad racist. He can't see nationalities, only brown people. Jello is one of a kind. A goddamn brilliant scientist and mathematician. He once beat Steven Hawking at a chess match. His ability to inspire his fellow colleagues, to bridge gaps, and bring people together is...

This treatment could be turned into Croatian gold with the right kind of talent.

28 days later. Cashback? Seriously? It was an awesome short film, then it got theatrical treatment, and then it sucked.

Hah, that's awesome guys. Nice use of editing to add even extra punch to some brutal choreography. Punch, cut to the guy flipping in the air, sick. I also really liked how it the sun sets, it starts to look really cool with the sunset in the background. Nice use of scale, you weren't afraid of...

Learn the 180 degree rule. Live it. Love it.

You guys botched that second episode... Stop spending inordinate amount of time on subplot points you can establish in 10 seconds. This series so far... has been sloppy. The music is cheese. There 180 degree mistakes. The goofy talk on the phone to nobody plot device that explains (something...

There is an ordinary man named Matt. Matt is a scientist looking for signs of extraterrestrial life at the SETI program. Every day he pours over the numbers, sheets and sheets of numbers. He never finds anything. Matt likes science ok, but what he really wants to do is fight racism. But, alas...

I get those moments a lot when I'm trying to sleep at night, but can't stop thinking about a particular concept.

Sure, then you mention the specific thing that is important to the story. Example: INT. WALKER'S BEDROOM - DAY Cindy slowly walks into the room, and notices a set of depression era portraits of the Walker family. Upon closer inspection, Mr. Walker is carrying the shriveled head of Cindy's...

A screenplay should not have description past what you just put down. Everything else would be the decision of the art designer, not the screenwriter. Screenplays should not feature overly descriptive passages or settings; screenplays are more meant for cut and dry description of dialogue and...
