He'd be wise to do both. Having the experience of a short film allows one to take that experience, and multiply any ups and downs by how many of their short(s) it would take to add up to a feature. But that only goes so far in estimating what the total scope and commitment would be if one was to...

I made the same decision. Although I had started in film back when I was only 7 years old. I turned to stop-motion animation when I was 8, then stopped cold turkey to pursue drawing and illustration along with sculpture for a year or two, before turning back to live-action film and animation...

I agree. We would have to see it to really tell. Because labeling something a comedy rather than a drama depends both on how many jokes there are, how funny they are to the general viewer, and how much levity they bring to the rest of the film as a whole. It also depends on how each person here...

I noticed the missing avatars like four to five days after I joined on the 11th of last month. But I didn't see any posts regarding the issue, so I thought it was probably just an issue with my computer handling the code on this site. Glad to see they're back.

Oh I am. Actually I'm doing both. Just like The Grand Budapest Hotel, my film switches from 4:3 to 16:9 once the characters venture out into outer-space, and then it switches back once we return to Earth. And yes, the film is a "Sci-fi, Fantasy, Steampunk, Adventure in Space." That's what I've...

Thanks ~sfoster. Glad you like it. :)

:lol: I'm a bit surprised you both thought it was necessary to promote it like that initially. No one ever pitches a project to (basically) the world in that way, because it always looks self-important. You need people to get excited about the project, not about you. But once you have a few...

Personally speaking, I think the idea of promoting a Kickstarter campaign as a vehicle for your own personal success is a bit self-aggrandizing, and it makes you out to sounding more important than you are. Not that I don't understand where you're coming from with this portion of your campaign...

Hi everyone. So I have yet to post anything specific that I've wanted some feedback on from the forum here, but today is the day that I would like some honest criticism and feedback comments. Below I have an image here I just saved from a shot from my film, "Bill & Maggie's Intergalactic Taxi...

Okay, then instead of Wet probably meant to say the frequency of the reverberations and the size of the room, because if the room size is made too big and the frequency too wide, then you get a Cathedral or a bathroom stall sound, whereas a hallway should sound more dull and flat.

If you want to venture out of your comfort zone, as it were, after having made three tonally and narratively similiar films, then whatever audience you have garnered in the past will likely be turned off by a horror/supernatural/thriller. There's nothing wrong with wanting to diversify your...

Hey. What's up with re-posting a quote from my own response to this thread?

~APE can give you a better explanation. But I would say you first have to deafen the sound by experimenting with the clip's EQ. This effect can be found in different place depending on what program you use. But it almost always shows up as a series of 5 or 10 or 20 vertical bars that affect...

Well I wasn't really meaning something that simple, lol. But you're totally right. :lol: It's about hiding the cut. Even when changing scenes or locations, you have to allow each cut to flow organically, unless a particular transition or cut calls for something more jarring.

The whole internet is open to you, and there are plenty of articles around the subject of lenses and lens selection, both with budget conscious choices, and vintage as well as modern options. You just have to give a few keywords and phrases a try in the search engine. There will never be a...

Only if they're fairly cheap, about $125 or less, and the description/listing clearly states that there's no lens scratches or problems with the lens' attachment coupling. You usually don't have to worry about the auto-focus working or not, because if the listing says it isn't working, it'll...

I would say the kit lenses are fine for shooting video, nothing seriously wrong with them. The most problems that they'll give you are mild blurriness that's only noticeable on a very clear HD video when compared to a better lens, and a rather slow F-stop, which isn't so great for video if you...

Some things certain people just can't do. And there are those who know enough to do something in 10 minutes or less. But even so, I would think after 3 years one would at least give something they're struggling with some practice and concerted effort. You learn how to do just about everything...

In our line of work--as I assume we are all "Filmmakers" in our own way--it's important to be versed, in part, in all aspects of production: because not only does it allow us to do some of the work when no one else can or no one else is available, but the knowledge we learn to gain from each...

Haven't been able to figure that out yet, honestly. I think you have to have a really good printer first to get the quality of commercial covers, so making them from home will always be a rougher process. Probably best to outsource them to a real print-shop with the right equipment and the right...
