    Adobe Primere vs Final Cut

    Although I've used both, I personally prefer Premiere only because I work on PC. In all honesty, (at least with the version that I used), Final Cut worked just the same way as Premiere did only with different hot cuts and tools. However, I've also heard that FCX screwed everything up haha. As...

    Choosing "natural" actors for a film

    If the person has never acted in front of the camera before, the only problem that you'll run into is that the person may not be camera aware. Or hell, they may even be more aware. It's like stage acting vs on screen acting. It's the same yet you have to tone down for the camera because the...

    archived-videos Film shot by ONE GUY.

    With the workflow that my cousin and I have, we usually don't need over 4 people on set. And that's including those on screen. He's usually the director and actor while I usually run the camera, sound, grip, and anything else that we might bring along (dolly, crane). I'll sometimes even edit and...

    Thanks for checking it out, Josh! Fun fact. When we first entered into the 48 Hour back in 2009, we won the award for "Best Choreography." For 2010, they changed the award to "Best Fight Choreography." We didn't enter that year. We didn't come back until 2012 and since then we've consistently...

    Human statue? Interesting choice of character for your 48 Hour. Our character was just an investigator for San Diego's 48 Hour haha. But that was a really interesting short. I like how you guys incorporated the "occupation" of the character. And congrats on all the awards too.

    Directing Actors

    It's funny because most new directors have the problem and not correctly explaining the emotions. My cousin having studied theater and directing our stuff, always explains the characters backstory or the reasoning why something was done to the actor so that he/she can properly emote the lines.

    I'm assuming the three requirements were Remote Control, "Why didn't I think of that?" and Mike. It's not bad but I would have never known that the controller was supposed to manipulate emotions had I not read your description. I would have personally cut the opening dialogue down and gotten to...

    Panasonic AG-DVX100 3CCD v Canon XL1S

    This is just coming from a user that has loved using the DVX100b, but you can definitely manual focus at 24p...... because the camera has a manual focus ring.... But I too do wonder why you'd want to go Standard in this day and age? Certainly there's nothing wrong with shooting with it and film...

    Why do directors/producers make changes to their scripts if actor's leave?

    You know h44.... there's a huge possibility that you had it set to unlisted. I remember you sending me the link of you're unfinished short and that was indeed unlisted as opposed to private. Just because it's unlisted doesn't mean that the video link can't be found.

    Tall Fluid Head Tripods

    Can you go into detail more with what you're working with? By coming loose do you mean that the screws aren't tight enough or that the pieces are wearing out? You can probably just buy the legs and transfer the head over from there.

    Why do directors/producers make changes to their scripts if actor's leave?

    We've had two projects where actors have dropped out midway through the shooting and we had to rewrite scenes and workaround with what we've already filmed in order to complete the short/series. And even for the better. It's sooo much more better to just finish with what you have instead of...

    archived-videos (48hfp Albuquerque) Between Friends

    Oh you're welcome. CHECKMATE was pretty good. If I didn't know the genre I would have thought it was a drama as opposed to mockumentary. The reason for this is because of how it was shot. It was shot more like a movie as opposed to it being done from a 3rd persons POV. I kinda get it but not at...

    Ah yes, that's right. I forgot that the credits don't count towards the actual story. Hopefully you participate next year. I always have fun making these. My tip to you guys would be to have a story that is short and to the point. They're short stories for a reason. Trying to flesh out a...
