    Good work. I think your production design needs to be jazzed up. The girl at the beginning isn't a good actor, although a rack like that is a great equalizer. This production seems to beg for noir type lighting. keep us posted.

    How to rent out my RED Epic

    Are you a grand master of RED Epic kung fu? If not, become one. That knowledge will bleed through the conversation when a prospective client calls you. Consider loaning it out FREE, yes, FREE, a few times in exchange for references, show reels, publicity, connections. You have to get plugged...

    archived-videos Campus MovieFest Submission: Hidden. 2 x Award Winning!

    Yes. screenwriting needs to imply things, not spell it out explicitly. For example, you don't want a character shouting "I am so scared!" The ideas you are conveying in the film are great, but you kind of hit us over the head with it. It's not that hard, the harder part is figuring out *what*...

    I like the photography. The writing is about as on the nose as I've ever heard. It's all wrong IMO. You need to tell us those things without spelling them out explicitly as you did here.

    archived-videos my action short film "BACKPACK"

    Is the dancing letterbox from stabilizing the footage in post? very distracting. I liked your actors and the location and color grade. Action was pretty good. Showing some potential here. Get a story!

    Dissecting Movies: Alien

    For a fun diversion, check out the BLACK DESTROYER from Sci fi's Golden age. Black Destroyer is considered the archetype or model from which ALIEN was derived. Read it here online http://www.baenebooks.com/chapters/0743498747/0743498747___5.htm

    archived-videos Short Ghost thriller movie.. seeing Feedback!

    I made to 8:30 which is about 8 minutes longer than I usually give to links from people I don't know. So I thought what I saw was good. I like your visual style. The location audio sounded thin on my speakers, like the actors weren't mic'd close enough. My least favorite part of your skill set...

    Is 35 too old to be a first time director?

    I could give you a lot of reasons NOT to try this directing thing. Being 35 wouldn't be one of them.

    Erm, pre-amps...?

    Disagree. Going from a cheap mic to a really good one is going to make a difference. When I ran my gear through a great mixer I rented, I loved the improvement. However as you imply, it can start you on a slippery slope of wanting to bring all the pieces up to a higher standard. You put the nice...

    Erm, pre-amps...?

    The Tascam is kind of the line of demarcation for sound. It's hard to go up incrementally from the DR100. The DR100 will give you decent sound, but to get to the next level, you've gotta break open the piggy bank. I tried one of those $100 preamps. Pure garbage.

    Be careful is my advice. People will make you seriously dead if you fly too close to the flame. We're it me, I wouldn't show names and faces of the filmmakers.
