"Having read quite a few reviews the language is definitely inflammatory and focus on the political philosophy of the film and not how well (or poorly) the film was made. " This type of reasoning is, to me, absurd. A film's ideas are not divorced from its execution. It's a total package...

Do Caligula as a college toga party romp! I fucking dare you. PS "Caligula House" Belushi: Togaaaaaaa! Louie Louie Make me want to Shout... (It writes itself)

Am I to understand that this is Bieber Fever inspired slaughter? So far so good...

Those are awesome. I still think my favorite is Ferris Club.

I believe the Jello rolling shutter is horrible on that cam. GH2, or wait until the next generation (6 months?)

Well, sorry about the Spiderman dig. There remains an idiot in this scenario however. Who loaded the gun and didn't tell anybody? You should shoot him in the leg with a blank, just to keep things even. Anyone seen "Go?"

That's a trippy stroboscopic effect. - If overused it will turn off viewers. - Some of the shots it is used on don't seem right for it, particularly just walking across a lawn in front of a house.

Are you bleeping kidding me? This is a pirate site. http://mixvid.net/mixvid_movies.html You won't see any money from anything you send there. They will probably be shut down pretty quickly, too.

I was very into this at first, because I like the band. The concept seemed like it was going somewhere with the series of blind images. But, it didn't really. There was a pretense of saying something with the still images, but they really didn't have any meaning (to me), so I felt a little...

"I start with brackets in the script itself. Then make that it's own list separate for each scene. " Awesome, Sonnyboo. I'd never seen that before.

This may be the stupidest part of it all: "Vestey, costumed as Spiderman," Never use copyrighted characters in your shorts! (Of course these idiots shot each other...)

Your post is vague on a key, central question: "So - after reading a great story that I simply could not get out of my head, hey I decided to become a first-time director. In the flash of an eye I got a cast, a script and started...." Is this "script" of the story you read somewhere? Do...

It's my understanding... 1. The Canons shoot H264 (8 bit) natively. 2. You'll do better with color correction if you transcode to a 10 bit codec like Cineform, and then output the final version to H264 (8bit) again. 3. I use the X264 mentioned above, because it seems to not shift the gamma...

As promised -- the anamorphic lens test. Still waiting on the correct adapter to attach, but this quick and dirty O-Ring worked well enough to prove it can work. http://vimeo.com/22827000 Anamorphic framing is hard, especially on a shoulder mount, with a moving subject. And don't even get me...

Yeah, I shouldn't have grabbed the cheapest paint. My bad.

Good movie, good director.

I hope it delivers. Trailer was a little long. One thing you may want to try is a second trailer that starts with the one main character and his first act. Get people on his side immediately with just the right sequence. The current trailer focuses on the spectacle/comedy at the expense...

I got real lucky having this L shaped metal support piece. Note the mitred joint, done on a table saw. I mitred the pieces for better stability. One can of spray paint, and it looks a lot better. I also went for the matching silver/black weight that is 2 1/2 pounds, and keeps it pretty...

Some may have surmised how notoriously cheap I am -- in the words of Robert Rodriguez: "Don't pay for anything." So what I have in my garage are scraps of WOOD and woodworking tools, drills, table saw, mitre saw, etc. Some may question the genius of this design, until they understand...
