    Second Round of Auditions

    perhaps it's a good idea to put a disclaimer on your emails saying that there are a LOT of people auditioning for these parts, so there will be a lot of people who don't get the part...or something of that nature. That way you cover your own ass if somebody does decide to go "well i only drove...

    Second Round of Auditions

    Just say the position has been filled for those you know are going to be a no-go. I'd always audition more people than less, even if you think some of them aren't as good at acting as others. There might be a spark of something unique that you really like in one of those people. I'm merely...

    Second Round of Auditions

    did you already schedule times for the people you'll be rejecting? if not, i'd just shoot them an email explaining you're very specific about the look of that specific character, but you'll be keeping their headshot/resume for future reference.

    What else do you do?

    I s'pose I'll post up what I do now. It's cool to hear what everybody is up to outside these forum walls. My day job is working in illustrator for 8hrs making t-shirts. It's not glamorous, but it pays the bills. I am currently on the brink of getting hired full time at a production agency here...

    it's kinda weird to see a fully grown adult man arguing with a kid online...let it go...you got funded, now don't ruin your reputation for distribution/your next funding goal

    What else do you do?

    Hey all, thought it would be a cool idea to find out what you guys do for a "day job" if you're not making a living off of filmmaking. what is it you do for a living? other than that, what is it you're occupied with professionally? what is it you're occupied with personally?

    editing wavy lines/ribbon effect in after effects

    Hello all, I am currently tasked with creating a moving graphic to be displayed at a local Casino, displaying current shows and events within the hotel. We need the graphic to have energy and motion, and wanted a line to be waving as if it were a rope being held on both ends, and undulated...

    What is your philosophy on aspect ratios?

    though i was joking at first, I now would love to see this happen in the future. experimental all the way!

    What is your philosophy on aspect ratios?

    I would agree with the sentiment that we have been "trained" to see letterboxing as "hollywood standard", but that doesn't mean that it isn't also just the most sensible way to display films anyway. As someone up there said, our eyes naturally see "wide" so widescreen makes more sense than...

    editing Best rendering quality on vegas movie studios?

    If you're going to have someone color it, you'll need to use a lossless codec. probably ProRes 422, even though the 60d shoots in 4:2:0 8-bit. I would imagine that the person coloring this can also use an XML to do the work, which would be totally lossless, as the only encoding you're doing is...

    editing Best rendering quality on vegas movie studios?

    You'll want an .mp3 or a .mov, .wmv won't play on macs without VLC or a similar codec reader ProRes will be the best quality but gigantic filesize. This would only really be used if exporting a clip that needs further editing. You'll want to use h.264 to cook out an .mp4. I'd recommend going...

    USB type c

    Who thinks the faster data transfer rates, reversible input and ability to replace HDMI will do wonders for the indie filmmaking community? Or how will it change the industry in general? Is USB C widely accepted enough yet to even consider as an alternative to HDMI?
