You're acting as if I didn't already specify some of these things in the very reply you quoted from. I previously said... I also specified that... I may have expressed these thoughts briefly, but they are there. I try to consider the arguments you and others will bring up and make sure I...

But Abrams was not responsible for the story of the Star Trek films, Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman were. This time, they have Lawrence Kasdan writing the story alongside J J Abrams. This doesn't guarantee a great story, but it allows for stronger legitimacy that it may at least be a more...

I didn't say that I've figured everything out. I'm not saying I know everything. I don't. You've read too much into what I meant by saying "Well that's what it's done for me anyway." I didn't mean that I achieved ultimate wisdom by studying great shots. I meant that... compared to what I knew...

I never meant to say people can't ask questions. I just have a particular pet-peeve with that specific question. And it's mainly for two reasons. One, it's partially untrue, and Two, things seem to actually getting better in that regard. I'm not seeing less "original content" as the years go on...

Hi everyone, My short film "Bill & Maggie's Intergalactic Taxi Service" is on its way to completion in another few months. By the end of December the visuals should be ready, and then it's another full month of sound editing with the completed picture before I'll feel it's ready for the...

Well that's what it's done for me anyway.

I usually don't end up reading all reply posts, because sometimes there's so many (I know there wasn't this time), that if I end up reading them all, it takes more time out of my day than just posting my own reply. Sure, it might save me from writing a long comment when so much has already been...

To put in my two cents. Shot-for-Shot fan re-creations are acceptable under the right circumstances. There's even a UK based competition for re-creating a film in 60 seconds, by whatever means you are able. And they don't even have to be that cinematic or realistic looking, they just have to be...

Can we please stop asking this question? The question itself is unoriginal. We hear it everywhere. And the answer that always comes back is yes and no. Yes, "originality" (as far as something can really be called "original") does exist, and the pursuit for "originality" still exists. It is...

Ok. Lots of things I'd like to say about this. First some positive comments. I think the premise (if I understand it correctly) is a good one. It's a very workable idea. It's probably been done a lot before, but I like it here. The shot design is also really good. The placement of the camera...

When it came to purchasing my most expensive items and equipment, I go for B&HPhoto, because they have a well-received, very high-quality business presence. They have a reliable system of payment and delivery of every item in very well packaged and safely transported boxes. And simply the way...

What would you call middle budget? And why would we need middle-budget films if small-budget are becoming more acceptable and possible despite all of the big-budget. Why spend $40,000,000 when you can get the same thing accomplished for $12,000,000? Almost every Oscar-bait/Film Fest movie out...

I feel like the only reason people in their 20s and 30s start complaining about the current state of things is because they thought things were sooo different when they were kids. When really, they weren't, we just had no idea what was really going on because we weren't allowed to investigate...

My latest short film cost about $12 thousand in all. Half of that was buying a new camera, rig, and other equipment and software, but it's all stuff I'll still be using for quite a few years. My short film is exactly 10 minutes, and involves all the bells and whistles most people try to avoid...

This was just posted Youtube about a month ago. I think this video perfectly encapsulates how I perceive one of the most important jobs of the director. Because if I can't get something to go exactly the way I wanted it originally, it's not for a lack of trying. But being forced to make...

Thanks ~trueindie I've had a lot of positive feedback on the title grabbing people's attention. So I'm glad you want to see the rest of it. And yes, most definitely the rest of the film will not only look as good: but as a whole the film should look even better than what you see here. I'm...

Not that I want to start an argument over this, but you do understand that it still takes months of work to make computers do anything even remotely interesting? I still had to build everything you saw there that wasn't an actual set. And we did have half a real set there too. Computers...

Any chance anyone else has any thoughts or comments on my trailer? I posted this two days ago. Got plenty of views apparently, but no replies. Even if you have no major criticism, seeing what you guys like as opposed to what you don't like will help out as well. Thanks

I'm really curious to know what the IndieTalk community will think of this first trailer for my short film, "Bill & Maggie's Intergalactic Taxi Service." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewn1vGDmYVQ The visual effects and soundtrack still have a ways to go. But at this rate, it's looking like...

Any software these days is capable of doing this. Blender can do this, Maya can do this, Cinema 4D can probably do this. And even Poser and Daz can do this, I think. Clearly you've made the error in thinking it's the software that makes the incredible visuals rather than the skills of the...
