low budget film makers have always been capable of making epics, it just takes creativity.

i have one, i wouldn't actually film a project on it but i think it's a pretty nice little camera. it fit's in my pocket and it shoots very nice in 720 (unless your in low light) you can import the footage just like any other camera. It has all manual settings witch is very nice. I think it's...

I'm in the same boat, my school is shooting 3 shorts back to back over the next two weeks. Actually things are so tight because we are sharing equipment and crew and even one actor that i am filming on a sunday between two shoots lol. One shoot goes tomorrow threw friday, and mine is on sunday...

Will do thanks. Also doing some couch hits. might do something with fishing line like your condom trick or i might use air i'm still working that out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEZv0FUPtcc that scene was done with a car sitting still, some grips rocking it back and forth and some electricitions spinning the lights on their stands so they seemed to be passing the car windows (in other words the car stands still and the lights move). Add a...

you could get a car mount and pop the camera on the hood for your master, and mount the camera on the doors looking in threw the windows to get your coverage. google car mounts. and you will probably want to ratchet-strap it down for safety unless you want to put the life of your camera in the...

iv'e made cheep rigs that run off of canned air and rubber tubbing, it wont rip the cloths but it will defiantly spray blood. and it's real nice to put something behind the actor to hit the back wall like directorik said. In my next project a ceramic lamp will be git by a bullet. I'm going to...

How do you think the ipad (or the tablet market in general) will effect the AD and production department? It seems to me that if some software were developed for organizing all of the paperwork and breakdowns we use on set and in the office it would catch on very quick. Having all of your sides...

The DSLR bug is spreading around my peers like a virus. 3 classmates ought them in the last couple of weeks. it happened when a guy from last years film class took a trip to new orleans to see what it was like over there and look around for some work. He says he was constantly asked two...

but once you put lenses on the light panel it's a whole new ball game. The company I posted has these lens things that go over the front of the panel, and give each bulb it's own little lens. It looks crazy but it works just like a lens on any other light. The technology may not be quite there...

A lot of last years class from my school in orlando headed to new orleans.

do you think that eventually there will be an LED equivalent to your standard incandescent or HMI lights?

yah the 1st AC follows the steady cam guy with a remote control that operates the follow focus.

it's a lot like asking out a girl lol

If you know who you want just ask. I usually start the conversation by talking about my project the same way i would if i were pitching it to someone. Most of the time if i am talking to the right person for the job they will start to show enthusiasm in my idea, then i ask if they want to act...

yah i was thinking about taking out a giant loan and doing the full sail thing until i found out about valencia CC and i am very happy I didn't do that.

eh, in orlando and miami some but not alot. barely anything right now. A big picture comes every couple of years (never back down in orlando, punisher in tampa) but it's not common. Good place for school but the serious people get out of town pretty quick once there done with school.

by day i'm a film student and by night i'm a pizza boy. i don't get much sleep.

Hi, I'm currently at Valencia Community College in orlando and I am learning a lot. But i can only get an AS degree at this school. I know no body actually cares if you have a degree in this business but my parents keep nagging me, and when i think about it i guess when i have kids in 15-20...

i might know your girl lol especially if she's in film. So your planning to already have our AA when you come here. i guess UCF is a good place to finish i might do that.
