I had a character who was taking a lot of pills in my film and the Tic-Tacs(!) were really loud in the yellow prescription container. We put some cotton wool inside and it really lessened the noise.

I had to shoot a scene inside a house at night, when it was supposed to be daytime. I closed a blind in the background of the scene and had someone go out side the house and shine a light on the window. Inside the house, around the edges of the blind, it looked like it was daylight outside.

Ditto. :yes:

Welcome! I'm from Leicester, now living in Laramie, Wyoming.

Of course, this method never occurred to me at all and I thank you for the reply and suggestion. I actually have a filmmaker friend with a green screen and the experience of using it. I just had a chat with him and he has agreed to help me out with the scene. I will show him your reply. Any...

Thanks. Beautiful video. I forgot to mention that the video camera I will be using shoots 60fps and has manual controls.

Hi, I would like to shoot a scene in a busy bar where a person sits at a table nursing a beer at normal speed, while all the other patrons and staff are moving at super speed around the person. I'm thinking there are probably lot's of things to consider and I would really grateful if someone...

That kinda thing is going to kill crowdfunding for poor people. IMO.

I had someone working with me on a shoot and we had a terrible fight in front of the cast and crew. I totally regretted it, but it boiled down to him not having eaten anything that morning. I had to give him money and send him to Qdoba. When he got back he was fine and we apologized to each...

Thanks, it can be a lonely and unsympathetic business being in charge of a film's production. :cry: I'm just not going to ever assume or take the chance that because someone is really good at one thing, they will be good at another thing. I don't think I would work with a photographer, just...

The Admin can change your username in the admin panel, but it's not something I imagine them wanting to get into the habit of doing. If I were you i would become a premium member and add a signature that states something along the lines that you are formerly fwilly and you could make it link to...

For one of my projects I picked a guy to be a cameraman because he is a brilliant artist. He can draw and paint amazing pictures... Let me tell you, a talent like that does not always transfer to being a cameraman.

*unsubscribes from thread* :lol:

There goes my incentive to go premium.;)

I own Kieslowski's Dekalog on DVD and my first feature is about effed up unhappy people pretending to be something they are not. Insufferably miserable is my thing. :lol:

I dunno, I watched While You Were Sleeping a couple of weeks ago and it looked and felt like the same Sandra Bullock. Let's agree to disagree. I haven't seen Blue Jasmine yet, but really want to. I have a feeling it's going to be good.

I hope Gravity doesn't win anything other than technical. Nothing against anyone, but I just felt it was Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in space. Playing themselves, as if they were in space. I really wish they had used unknown actors. IMO.

Rip a dvd of movie to your hard drive and edit that. I did it with a couple of films before I had a camera. If you don't have any decent editing software, you can convert a dvd to avi and edit the video in Avidemux and the audio in Audacity. It's crude, but a good place to start.
