    My very first stab at a screen play..

    Thanks guys!! I've had the biggest writers block, and its like it all unleashed at the same time. I'm having trouble writing it all down to keep pace. I'm just trying to focus on the old show-don't-tell and making sure I properly set up the script in the first 10 pages or so (to lead to my...

    My very first stab at a screen play..

    So, you guys have been awesome in encouraging me to start giving screen writing a try, even though I'm very new to it (I have a digtial art / media / photography background). I am really attracted to directing and achieving a great aesthetic look, but I'm expanding and taking on some screen...

    Reaaally need some help breaking through writing barriers

    Thanks! It's becoming a really great learning experience. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I have been actually.. That must have been really annoying haha :lol:

    sound I have some music available for licensing for free

    I hope this isn't 'advertising' by a composer, I just wanted to let you guys know I'm able to license out this music for absolutely free. (As I wrote it) Here is my band's entire album https://soundcloud.com/stockholmband/sets/eyes-in-the-dark-2012-1 I have all of these as instrumentals for...

    editing $5000 for an editing workstation?

    Personally, until the new Mac Pros come out, I would go with a beef'd out mac mini. An i7 with 16gb ram and an SSD. My background is not in editing, but in digital art & audio production (still somewhat intensive processes). An i7 mac mini with 16gb ram & ssd blows the doors off of any similarly...

    Reaaally need some help breaking through writing barriers

    Thanks for the feedback!! I enjoyed those shorts. I feel like I am leaning towards collaborating now. I find that I work far better with a sounding board to bounce off of. I've bounced the idea of Quantum off of my gf even (she's a movie buff as well) and it's yielded some fruitful ideas for...

    600d or nikon d7000

    I shoot a D5100, wish I had gotten the D7000. I've used the D7000 quite a few times and it's a wonderful camera, an absolutely superb machine. I can't speak to the comparison between the two, but the D7000 is a camera you can never go wrong getting. No one will ever say "oh, you got the D7000...

    Fantastic response, thank you so so much. As for the budget to create a look/feel simliar to those filmmakers I mentioned, certainly agree. It's mainly certain script pacing (especially Nolan's opening scenes) and the cinematography of Blade Runner (with the anamorphic 2.39 style).

    Curious about prosumer camers vs. DSLR's

    Excellent point, very true.

    Curious about prosumer camers vs. DSLR's

    Eh yeah I guess. Technically, but it still looks like DSLR footage. GREAT dslr footage. This is where it becomes really subjective (to me). In my own opinion, I feel the GH2 gives me a closer feel of cinema than the 5D shooting raw. It just seems over sharpened and doesn't give me that cinema...

    Curious about prosumer camers vs. DSLR's

    Hahaha, no really, I've seen shoot out after shoot out of the GH2 against cameras like the Scarlett, and it GH2 puts up a fantastic case for its price point.

    Curious about prosumer camers vs. DSLR's

    The GH2 is undeniably the king of anything under 2,000. Hell, it's the king of anything under $10,000. Even the MK3 gets house'd by the hacked GH2 all day long. Unless you're shooting on RED Scarlett, there really isn't even a contest against the classic GH2. The GH3 is OK, a better built...

    Reaaally need some help breaking through writing barriers

    Alright, I'm a first-time filmmaker embarking on my first short film. I come from a digital art / technical background, so I think achieving a high quality image will not be the main challenge to me, as I have a strong background in photography and overall visual composition rules (rule of...

    The GH2, holy price jump batman!

    Checking out some of the preview footage of the G6 ungraded from camera, and it doesn't seem to have quite the same look as the gh2 :( The g5 had the same chip as the GH2 correct? And that footage isn't even on the same planet as the GH2. Ugh, I think I may just need to bite the bullet and buy...

    The GH2, holy price jump batman!

    Bill, thanks a ton, given that its using the same chip, it looks like the G6 will be my next camera, and at a price that I can keep using my Nikon for stills. Fantastic.

    The GH2, holy price jump batman!

    I've been pretty dissapointed with the GH3 footage as well. Just doesn't have the same 'look'. I'd prefer the GH2 far more than the GH3 (call me crazy). As a musician, this sort of reminds me of what happens with classic guitars.. they just had that 'sound'

    The GH2, holy price jump batman!

    Wow. I have a feeling these things will end up being classics. Looks like I'll just have to dish out the $700+ for the body alone. Yay!

    The GH2, holy price jump batman!

    Wow, I remember looking at this camera right around Thanksgiving of last year, and since then it's nearly doubled in price. Why? I recently read about the Lumix G6 being a good competitor to the GH2? Thoughts?
