I suppose one of my bigger concerns with this mode of thinking is that you want to make a film, or two, and yet you're willing to compromise your vision "cast-wise" in order to appease your backer's interest in having their daughters featured in your films. Plenty of films have had to do that in...

Yes, you're absolutely right on that. I was speaking more in a general, film-festival/documentary film aspect, which again is quite common for a lot of documentaries over the past two decades that I've seen that have won numerous awards, despite their visible (not necessarily audible) lack of...

This is really starting to sound more like something on par with a History Channel or Discovery documentary, with days upon days of continuous shooting with a 3-6 man camera crew. And you see, they have the resources, the right cameras for long-end shooting, large amounts of commercial...

So what exactly are you assuming will cost $400 per day? Is that referring to what will be paid to the crew members working with you, or are you filming this by yourself? Is the $400 referring to the cost of memory cards and Harddrive storage space? Depending on your camera and its file codec...

You do realize they're just asking for a ballpark figure.

Oh!! So wait, why didn't you just explain this from the very beginning? 'Cause I had absolutely no idea that a theatrical presentation and a home-video presentation of a film had completely different mixes, I really thought it was just a sound system variance. I knew there was a big...

Alright. I decided that at this point, to avoid any more confusion and (hopefully) embarrassment on my part, I went back and read as much as I could of all the preceding comments in this thread. I didn't read everything in totality, but nonetheless, I believe I get it now. ~AudioPostExpert...

I think one of my film professors at SCAD explained that scrolling credits in a film can't go any faster than 8 seconds per line on screen. Meaning that any line of text in the credits can't go from the bottom of the screen to the top any faster than within 8 seconds, or something around there...

I think this probably should be in the promotional section, as openly advertising your services in a new thread is not the best way to go about introducing yourself to a forum, especially when you haven't written an introductory post yet. It just feels like spam from the get-go. I've still...

I'm assuming they're using the 18-55 kit lens, since that's what comes with the camera in the box, and if they didn't have that, then they wouldn't be shooting with anything, because that assumes they only bought the camera body. A 50mm 1.8 prime lens is a great investment. I bought the same...

How am I to know when and for what reason a term was coined? New terms come and old terms go. I'm not saying the terms are right, but I've used the term definitions of Independent VS Indie for at least 6 years. So you're argument that I should be using "established" verses "newly coined" terms...

I would have to agree with that. Because the way that you keep referring to "sound design," you act as if it is a "thing," and not a "process." I was also disagreeing with ~Alcove for a very good reason, which I will illustrate below. If any of you have personally watched the original Star...

Then you really don't need to hire anyone for that. Putting together your own credits is one of the easiest things to do in Premiere. The styles and fonts that it gives you in the text editor at the bottom are just presets, but you can download and add any Free or Attribution 3.0 fonts that you...

That probably depends on whether you want a graphically whimsical or artistic end credit sequence, or something far more black and white and conventional. What sort of idea did you have for the end credits?

I thought that's why we had the quirky difference between the usage of "Independent" film, and "Indie" film. Where apparently "Indie" actually might stand for the $15-50 million dollar films, whereas "Independent" stands for the movies made for $250,000 or less. Even this old internet animated...

Absolutely. Which, if you are a discerning writer, should make it all the more important to get more than just a few people to look at what you've written. Often even 10 people won't be quite enough, especially if they aren't always available, and you need people to look at further updated...

I'll agree that you don't want the sound to overtake the visuals. But isn't it true that a radio drama is just a tv show without visuals and slightly emphasized sounds so that everything is clearly heard? If you took everything from a radio drama, did a minor remix to it, and shot live-action...

What's wrong with having 50 people read it and give you feedback? It's better than just showing it to 25, or 15. And I can say from experience that 20 people looking at your script will give you a lot to work with, but 50 people, of varying ages, professions, and other attributes will vastly...

I can empathize with that. So I won't contribute to further repetition of the same information. I think somewhere along the way your initial concerns have also become lost across a few separate threads. But all I can really say for now is if you are needing help in making your current film work...

I think Speilberg is allowed to be loose and frivolous with his choice of lens, though, because he had decades of experience before then, and so he basically knew all of the ins and outs enough to make a decision like that with a lot less thought than is usually required. But that doesn't mean...
