Probably, all the cards they list I think came with 512MB minimum, some with muchmore: ATI Radeon HD 5770 NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 NVIDIA Quadro 4000 NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 NVIDIA GTX 570 CraigL

Interesting... some of the beats seem a bit of a stretch though, and some of the comments get into some specifics. I don't know, I have the book, haven't managed to get to far into it yet, but I'm going to approach it the same way, use it just like any other tool, when it's appropriate. CraigL

Haha, that's odd. It's like, exactly the same article. One way to increase your article count I guess! Although it calls this one a "sidebar". CraigL

Championed by another popular screenwriting guru: http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2013/07/hollywood_and_blake_snyder_s_screenwriting_book_save_the_cat.single.html I liked the comparisons to Jurassic Park; it was "3 act" but completely off the "formula" otherwise. CraigL

King Kong? They refer multiple times to scanning it in first, and a quick look on ShotOnWhat.com seems to indicate it was all on Arricams... Were you thinking of The Hobbit perhaps? CraigL

K, seems a little bit less than really useful that way. :P CraigL

So, when you block a person, it appears that it doesn't block the marking of the thread as containing a new post, which is what I'm really looking for. I don't see any way around that, am I missing something? CraigL

Masking tape would be preferable, less chance of ripping up some of the paint. Also, the garden liners are even better as they're quite a bit thicker than rubbish bags. But, that might be desirable if you just want to serious reduce the amount of light. You'll be very surprised how much you...

It will work, but it still should be calibrated, even if it's an IPS monitor, it should be. Properly calibrated monitors cost many thousands for a reason. If you're putting on a TV though, the most important thing is to make sure you're viewing it in the correct colour space, sRGB instead of...

What that is indicating, is at what frequency it will let the signal pass. If you select 80, it will block anything below 80Hz, 160 is 160Hz. Generally, if there's some ambient rumble you can't control (a/c for example) you can use this to try and reduce the background noise. Obviously, it's...

Absolutely, that fact remains. And that $7K opened the doors to getting a theatrical release completed. However, the version of the film that went on to gross $2MM, cost way more than $7K. That's what I take issue with. Oh, I think (and hope) it can, and will happen, it's just very, very...

Not exactly sure where the "land of ice and snow" is, but if you have Kijiji, it's a great way to start. There's communities and events or something. I found a few people by posting on there and also found a local acting workshop that I joined up with, which was also very fruitful for...

Having a plan is great, and definitely the first step. Your's looks about right. Just be ready for it to go awry and learn to handle it. Awry seems to be the only constant in filmmaking, through the whole process sometimes. A talkie can be good, but honestly, I think one of the hardest to...

Then stop reading the threads like this. G's contributions to this forum are invaluable, he's particular about his points and posts exclusively to explain them. Simply posting nonsense to say you didn't like it contributes nothing other than increasing your post count. Wait, what did I just...

Feels to me like 171 might be a little high in luminance for non-444 cameras, but I'm not sure. Best bet might be though, if you have a piece of green mulsin already, is to take a sample in and try and have them match it. I'd advise smaller tins first and try it out, also use some sort of...

Generally, the noise goes up as the ISO goes up. Seeing as we're limited to 48fps for "normal" shooting, that means we need a wider aperture or more light. In digital terms, the ISO is the gain you put on the imaging sensor, and just like audio gain, the higher you go the more the noise floor...

Haha, sad but probably true! =) Hey, sounds like it could be a funny short about people trying to contort a happy story into something that they feel worth submitting as a proposal to something like the BFI. CraigL

My lunch break is almost always spent with a script making notes or a pad writing down ideas. It's hard to find the time, I work 8.5 hours a day, have a side business we're working hard on polishing our product and preparing a business plan for, in preproduction on 2 shorts, a house to keep...

Drafts are basically just what you've outlined; take the original story and fine-tune or rewrite it. And you're right to focus on finishing it entirely before doing too much rewriting, or you'll find yourself continually rewriting and never finishing. Once it's done, and you go back to start...

I gave up for a long time, as getting people uninterested in making films to help you is much like asking them to help you move, but without the urgency that a move would require. So, I started looking on Kijiji and various places and first joined a local acting workshop. Aside from having...
