    archived-videos The Queen's Gambit - Short Film

    Opening scene could have used a filter, Lots of blues. Maybe you meant to do this to get a downer effect but at the beginning I wouldn't do this. It will make the audience in a depressed mood from the start and you want to capture them first, not depress them. To me it looks like an error on...

    archived-videos Helper - First Short Film

    "bit of a different feel but on the same topic of drugs (needs to be to get credit at school)" Hahahaha, no, you are only fooling yourself. If you can make something outside the box for them and they can still enjoy it, then you have won. Remember, you’re the storyteller, not them. As for...

    Coppola weighs in on 3D

    :yes: I feel sorry for all parents who have to take their kids out to the theater to see these things. I would go nuts.

    "Just a light and a green t-shirt!" I'm impressed. Don't know much about green screen but I will write down these tips jus in case. Anyone else have tips on this matter?

    archived-videos Shattered Glass - Single Camera

    Good flow up to 1:34. Passing of time works for me. Framing looked okay thus far. Some said above the 180 rule was broken but I missed it. @ 1:34, was a zoom used? If so, try moving the camera instead. Camera placement for the fight scene could have been better to hide that you did not hit...

    Without a script, no doubt. I was even able to get into the special effects and had a few chuckles.

    archived-videos Helper - First Short Film

    I didn't look at the edits during the run scenes at my first view which those scenes can be tricky. I did go back over it again and in one spot I thought could have been better because when you had him running, you would have him running straight at the camera before you changed direction from...

    archived-videos Nothing in the Dark [Short Horror Film]

    Here is a quick run down. I watched up to 5 minutes and then stopped. Story didn't seem bad and dialogue was fine. I think it was the mistakes I'll list below which got me to stop watching. Here are the errors I saw with in the 5 minutes and I'm sure I could have tagged a few more. Bedroom...

    Why Ebert Hates 3-D

    I saw it, here in the Cinerama Dome. I'm just keeping my opinions about it to myself. Mom always said, "if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all." ; ) Note: I will admit it wasn't a bad movie.

    THE ONE DOLLAR MOVIE

    The promo was pretty good and clever ending. As for what you are trying to do.......... "No buck for you!" But best of luck, it will be funny if you are able to raise a bunch of cash this way.

    Production Company Website...what do you think?

    Sound and lighting are a big key in any production. When I first joined this forum a sound engineer welcomed me and I responded to what he said. "Sound is half of the experience" <- He said. Spoken like a true genius. ; ) <- I said. In any good film, you should be able to listen to the...

    Why Ebert Hates 3-D

    If you don't mind me saying Cracker F, everyone whom suggested I should watch Avatar did so because of the visual and not the story. And I live in the LA area. All of these folks who suggested to see the film were split about the story, they either felt it was good or fair (no one said it was...

    Production Company Website...what do you think?

    I don't know how to design a website so I will not give any suggestion on that, but looking at it this is what I thought. The first page was a bit boring and short. I would suggest some still pictures which were taken during filming, or something that deals with L.I.F.E. Also, your...

    Why Ebert Hates 3-D

    Maybe so, I mean, 3D was successful back in the 50's and thank goodness we've been watching so many 3D movies over the last 50 years. As for the TV scenario, I guess all these people whom are pinching pennies and have high debt because they bought their 50' flat screen HDTV’s for several grand...

    From Dusk 'till Dawn

    It is always nice to see structure not fitting the norm. This technique was allowed because the writers and directors were already established. It could be a tough sell to a distribution company and/or a producer if you haven't done much in the industry (Hitchcock and Kubrick are a few whom...
