In all honestly, yes, I would never advise anyone to jump into a feature--let alone one that has no plans to make any money--before you make at least a couple of shorts to test your skills and build some on-set and production experience. I am definitely not ready myself, nor interested in...

Star Wars: Rebels I thought was created after the Disney take-over as a new production which would start fresh and build it's own canon between movie Episodes III and IV. But whatever the case, everything in Star Wars: Rebels IS canon, including the "reintroduced" Inquisitors, if they existed in...

I would think if you can watch movies on Netflix and Amazon, you can just as easily do it on Youtube. The trouble is getting people to stumble upon your film out of the billions of other things they could be watching. You also have to market it well, and get some trailers out first. It wouldn't...

Ben Solo/Kylo Ren starts out as an intimidating character. But the film properly works to establish that he is in fact a wanabe who still has some distance to go before he is anywhere near as strong, powerful, or even as emotionally in check and confident as Vader. He IS an immature teenager...

It does if it relates to how enjoyable or exciting a film is. It might not be enjoyable and exciting to you. But if it is to THIS many people, then it must be doing something better than films that can't excite that many people. Otherwise they wouldn't be coming back for multiple viewings...

I don't think there aren't any rules that say you can't offer a film for free, but then also offer a DVD/Blu-ray for purchase, IF you know that some people will want one. Because the DVD/Blu-ray will have a lot of bonus features that the online free version won't have attached to it. And we're...

On what grounds can you honestly say "The Force Awakens" is worse than "Attack of the Clones?" It also just beat out "Titanic" in domestic box-office in only 2 weeks, and it is leagues a better sit than any of the "Transformer" movies: just in case you were going to make that tired comparison.

Wow. I didn't expect to see someone from that crew on here. That's fantastic. I honestly had no clue what the cast or crew was paid, I just assumed due to it's smaller budget, the fact that similiar small budget productions can't usually pay their cast or crew their typical dues, and assuming...

A Youtube content creator named Stuart Ashen, otherwise known as Ashens, wrote, directed, and starred in a feature length urban-adventure film intended to be published for free on Youtube. The film is still available online for Free, as was intended. He simply produced a special DVD and Blu-ray...

You can't count the prequels because one: the Death Star itself wasn't seen until the end of Attack of the Clones, and we saw it being built in Revenge of the Sith. And two: the Trade Federation ship that Anakin blew up may have a sphere shaped center, but he only slightly blew it up like they...

Which should mean that it's on the right track again. We got three mediocre Star Wars films, and now we're back to "good" Star Wars films. The ONLY reason it was a soft-remake of the original film was because it had to be in order to make the Prequel haters feel a lot better about the future of...

A speed drawing is technically something that you draw from a blank piece of paper to a complete image in under an hour (or something like that). We also don't know if the rough image that's already there in this video was John's, or wasn't. Plus, it was drawn by somebody on the page before...

Is there a reason you had to post something about this before you finished a trailer? Why not just wait?

They didn't specifically say, and usually they do. So unless I can see the actual student film they were doing with the phone, I can't agree with the hype that they smartly included in this ad. I've never seen "student films" be a focus of an add like this for a phone before. Cause it wasn't...

It is honestly very difficult to wrap my head around precisely what you are saying here. I think I get what you mean, but it's clearly a complex situation, since it takes you a whole paragraph just to elaborate on it in what I assume is a concise way. So I imagine I won't be learning as much...

I have definitely never thought about the sound designer as someone (or a group of people) who should be made part of the pre-production process to such an extent as you describe. But like I've tried to express before, my recognition and understanding of filmmaking concepts and methodologies has...

Yes I am. If I'm wrong, though, then I'm wrong. I don't know everything about how electronics work, even when it comes to apparent basics like that. And yet, there are a lot of things I do know. I mean, I would think something can go wrong if the cables being connected have their internal...

There are a few cables out there, for instance the Thunderbolt cable, which has come in two forms: early Thunderbolt cables were referred to as Display Port or MiniDisplay Port, cable connectors which only transferred visual data or images from your desktop or other device to a Display Port...

My thoughts exactly. AVI's were far smaller in the SD era when I used them extensively. But between 2005 and 2010, they grew significantly in bit size versus duration or frame-per-second. So I eventually quit using them because not only were they taking up too much space, but they just didn't...

Could I ask, first off, how old the version of Ulead Video Studio you're using is, and how old the capture device is? Because I used to use that exact combination for grabbing footage from VHS and 8mm VHS for projects back in the day. But that was nearly 6-8 years ago. AVI files are large and...
