    Tips for realistic "tan"?

    Is it someone who can actually tan (some people don't, even spending time in the sun)...? If so, and you have a couple of weeks, buy them a package at a tanning booth. Probably cost about $40-50 and it will be a more "natural" looking tan than make up or bronzer. gelder

    Occupy Wall Street

    Wish I could take credit for having written it, but that particular line was posted by a friend of mine on Facebook and I used it once the first weekend. I told the reporter 5 or 6 lines I had written on the dry-erase board, pointing out that I wasn't the author of that line, but it came out as...

    Occupy Wall Street

    I'm actually not shooting, footage or guns. And we're lucky that, here in LA, we have it very good, compared to some of the other Occupy cities. But I have been interviewed by a number of filmmakers and newspapers since I've been here...

    Occupy Wall Street

    I'm highly active with Occupy LA, and there is definitely a film-making angle. There have been a number of short films that have appeared on YouTube from a bunch of filmmakers who have been coming by here every day to shoot their own impressions, footage, etc. Some come out really nicely...

    Looking for audition songs.

    I swear, I've always wanted to audition for a musical by singing "I'm Super" by Big Gay Al. And, it would work for a tenor. gelder

    editing I, Creator Series DVD Intro Video

    I looked at the DVD intro - I agree with rocker that the font choice is not a favorite of mine, and when you have the names of the three girls' characters on screen, they're too close and look run together. You could stagger them - have one on one level, the second name below, and then the...

    $167: 4 day rental of 5D MkII?

    That looks like a great price, but I'd be careful. It doesn't look like you get any lenses with that - think you're just renting the body of the camera. gelder

    How much footage would you give an actor for a demo reel?

    Thanks, Cam, but not a big deal - I would love to have a couple of them, because the footage I saw during shooting looked great. But, that's what you happens sometimes in the creative world...projects can't always get through post. If you could total up all the money spent on projects that...

    How much footage would you give an actor for a demo reel?

    From the actor's POV, if you're working for low money, or no money, on a project and your main compensation for the work is footage for your reel, you do want to get your hands on something as quickly as possible, especially if you think it's going to look good on your reel. Everyone else...

    Get Low/Cinematography over Story

    Some movies aren't about "the bare essentials". I thought this movie was nicely shot, and that the pacing was good. Most of the silence occurs when you're watching Duval's character by himself in the woods, which creates a separation for him, from the rest of the city folk. To me, the silence...

    What's next? Big plans?

    I'm waiting for a feature doc I acted as DP on, "Reverb Junkies", to come out of post. We have a decent "in" with a really cool festival here in southern California; that would put our premiere in April 2012, I think. Like CHamburger, I am also growing a beard. It's for a short werewolf film...

    Copyright Questions

    You can trademark the name for your production company. It's a lengthy process and costs around $400, if you can do the paperwork yourself, and they will want to see your trademark in use within a certain time frame after application, to complete the registration process. You pay per...

    editing Excellent example of editing improv

    Hats off to that young actress (Peter Frampton's daughter, Mia Rose) for keeping up with Kristen Wiig during those exchanges. I liked Bridesmaids. Coulda been a wee bit shorter, but some very funny set pieces and bits. gelder
