    sfoster APE Alcove Audio DirectorRik As others have said with the latter three. sfoster's on a LOT and has been here for a long time. I don't think I've ever seen him really vanish for any noticeable amount of time. Nor have I ever seen him argue with people. I mean he didn't even argue with...

    I've never even heard of that being possible. Does another forum have such advanced integration?

    announcement Good things coming in 2016

    Are threads and profile statistics going to transfer over? There are years of helpful information in these "creaky" boards.

    Short Films...do people still care?

    I'm not sure what this has to do with my quoted statement.... It seems pretty unrelated. Was it to say that shorts can be used to get a bigger project? Cause as I said before... it's a 1 in 10 million kind of goal. It's been done VERY few times compared to the number of times it's been tried...

    Short Films...do people still care?

    Pixels was also a short before Adam Sandler saw it. Doesn't mean anyone should expect that to happen to them. Makes them 1 in 100 million exceptions.

    Short Films...do people still care?

    I don't care to pay for shorts. I like to watch some though. Mostly ones that pop up on one of my news feeds.

    THE REASON I'M HERE, I NEED ADVICE

    Color. Lighting. Composition. Decor (like seriously, why are these British people obsessed with American decor? You have the decor of an old couple in Florida.). Acting. Accents (those can't all be real). General lack of humor. Also... everything I was thinking while watching this first...

    Rates for DIY Screenings

    I'd be more surprised if they didn't ask me to pay them.

    If it's too good to be true, it most likely isn't.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

    Perhaps the thread ended there because it turned from a debate to someone making an ass of themselves.

    That has nothing to do with it... Even in open soundstages, talent sweat from lights. The actual beam of lights are hot.

    'Duping the viewer'

    The Scooby-Doo Effect. Oh this is a great thought. Ummm I'm trying to remember movies that do it, but the first thing that comes to my mind is Leverage (the Canadian ION TV show) where at the end of the episode they go back and show you the things that happen but weren't originally shown, like...

    Personally I'd recommend the the kinoflo plot you made. But I'm also highly into soft lights so, biased. Also lights create heat, kinos create the least amount of heat. These people will have suits on, and you're putting these right on their backs. I feel disgusting when my back is covered in...

    Dolly Movement Thoughts

    Filmmaking 101. I'm not really going to argue this, because it's fundamental in making films. Masters and Establishing are crucial. They may never even be used for a single frame in the final product, but you should always film them. Lack of coverage doesn't show you have a solid idea, it...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

    If THIS movie. The Force Awakens. Was ACTUALLY a youtube fan film.... I think you would be stunned by it. I would be stunned by it. The people behind it would no longer be youtube content creators, that's for sure.

    Making a feature just for YouTube?

    I can rebut this one pretty easily, and with personal experience on the matter. Let's take a look at my girlfriend. She spends a lot of time on YouTube watching videos that sometime go on for about 3 hours. What are they? Well they are GameGrumps Let's Plays. But let's break down some...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

    My mistake! It totally did. I was thinking of one of the other Star Wars animated cartoons haha, my bad. --------------- Yea... I'm also kinda meh about Disney's different director for each installment style... They do it with Marvel and now Star Wars... Marvel, okay it kinda makes sense...

    Making a feature just for YouTube?

    Everything up to that point was good. I don't care if your opening is very catching, I'm not going to spend an hour watching a YouTube video... and most others won't either. This kind of thing is 100% reliant on fan base, and I mean SUBSTANTIAL fan base. 1 million? Yea that's a good one. You...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

    Then why did Snoak mention it'd be a challenge for Kylo AND his Knights of Ren? Isn't that then pointless dialogue that's also misleading to the coming events? Of course, Snoak wasn't referring to Finn and Rey, he was referring to Han Solo (and I presume that included Chewie and the assumption...
