    Could everyone cross their fingers

    Hey, wait- where can I get my own lucky underpants? No, really- as they like to say out L.A. way - KILL'EM!

    Warning about Media Partners/Reelbrokers

    Funny how filmmaking is mostly examining these mundane concerns. I guess the trick is to make the mundane transcendant for ninety plus minutes. Plus popcorn. Oops, I seem to have unraveled the thread....

    Clive, I believe there's only a case if you couldn't remove your information from the site, or if they were in a position to somehow profit from posting it (even something as insignificant as showing advertising next to your synopsis). But since you have proactively solved the problem, you've...

    Maybe they're fishing for angel investors, so they can skip town and get faced in the Bahamas. I suppose as long as you can capture the data and export the data, you've got yourself a digital camera...though their site isn't inspiring a lot of confidence, except in their graphic designer. Now if...

    Oh yeah, right there next to the keys to the Porsche. Nice rig, I must say.

    Boy I get tired of "crippleware", hard and soft. Either make the damn product the best way you can, or make a different product. Sheeeeesh.

    Isn't the iLink 1394 some kind of Firewire PC bastardization? It says " to ...and PC". Until I bend over to remove my wallet, I'm assuming that means you can transfer at a reasonable speed to something not manufactured by Sony. Even the home video enthusiasts are impressed with the range of...

    Warning about Media Partners/Reelbrokers

    blacklist of "shonky operators" ? I think it's called the "Hollywood Creative Directory", and can be had at Amazon. com for about $60. Hahahaha, actually, I think advising people on scams like "reading fees" and doing extensive free re-writes, would go a long way towards keeping our side from...

    Warning about Media Partners/Reelbrokers

    An easy way to start sorting the bull from the real thing: If you get an email from a person with a first and last name that you can google and bring up something, you're close to the realm of reality. If you get an email from a "company", you can pretty much discard it like so much junk mail...

    Great production values, decent pacing and acting, cinematography. Would've like to see more face shots, it's where you really see the terror! As a writer, though, I really have to say the script wasn't making it for me. I know the genre doesn't really demand it, but I think at least taking out...

    Cool, I know halogens'll get you in the ballpark of a usable spectrum. What do you diffuse with? I've heard baker's paper (REAL baker's paper) is good.

    I'm accumulating a miser's collection of equipment for a shoot sometime this year. I will rent a camera, oh yes, most certainly, but I want to have some stock of gear that's my own to twiddle with. I have an old Sennheiser ME80 and a long-throw Philips (yes, Philips) mic, but... Has anyone...
