I would use the Mamet Acid Bath for every two second scene in your trailer. Who wants what from who etc. Hell, give the guy a call, I'm sure he'll be happy to help.

You're probably right, but I would still prefer to deal with 100,000 aimless ADHD viewers looking for kicks, than 10 faceless suits in a room. Our generation have a whole new set of challenges.

Sorry for the triple post: It's not less, or more. Your length and choice of cuts are more or less fine as far as I know. It's how you arrange them and orient the viewer. I agree with this. You can be vague about the total plot of the film, that's not important, but you can't be vague as to...

I definitely didn't get this on the first watch. Is that my fault or yours? Remember, I'm too much of a cheapass to get the premiere membership, so I haven't been following production as closely as other people. I came to this knowing virtually nothing, like all the rest of yr trailer viewers...

I would watch this film. It's hard for me to separate whether I was sold on the trailer or on the buzz that's been built up here. You've got a lot of energy and enthusiasm, but also, you've got 3 seconds to grab your YT audience. Maybe 7 seconds on Vimeo. A bunch of minor points below. Don't...

True Romance, Glenngarry Glen Ross.

Nice, always good to see a Youtube viral success. It's an established way into the industry now. Only 1 in 10,000 might succeed but the door's still technically open.

I guess the technology is still fairly new and there's still a few format wars going on... No one's decided the absolute best way. Do Iphone users prefer to download it themselves or go on youtube? I just don't know. I guess I can try a few test dloads and see what works best. Handbrake can...

Pi the Movie, anything Kubrick used.

bumped.. So what happened to this guy? Did they get funding in the end? I'll do a search later but I want to know how he's doing 6 months later.

I thought Magic Bullet was freeware for a moment there Ernest.

Thanks, I'm always looking for decent freeware. There's a surprising amount of high quality packages. Handbrake for one. Gonna dl it now. EDIT: Damn, it's not freeware. :)

I think it'd be absolutely fine to include 5D's on that list. Not too much difference, and it widens the list of films you can name-check. Wikipedia should have a list.

What's the best format and file size for 3G and Iphone users? I just use an old mobile so I have no idea about this market. I want to put an 8 minute clip in the best format for it to be spread in a group. I suppose it can't be too big. What's the maximum file size that Iphone and 3G users...

That was going to be my next question, but I haven't got a clue bout animation. If it can be done subtly I'll give it a shot.

@Wheatgrinder Both. Last time I checked photos from the National Association of Space Airbrushers are public domain, (with a few clauses and certain restrictions on individual plates) so that's a pretty good source to plunder. Seeing as my docco's about world issues, views of Earth suit me...

I've seen some stunning photos but no real amazing videos of our home. Do you know what the best footage is? Short but sweet this one. Will she drift into the no-reply abyss or will I get a couple of bites?

I'd be interested in how they viewed the future of independent film, and the next ten years. Do they think we're on the verge of a film rennaissance? What sectors of the industry might suffer, or thrive over the coming decade?

I've searched a LOT of these now and this is pretty damn impressive: http://www.ivona.com/online/editor.php

Would a private online screening, in a secure site with password protection hurt your festival chances at all? Might be a good source of income. I'd be down for it... Maybe it'd get you some good word of mouth and a nice 20-100 USD passive income per day. You could also tour the movie like a...
