    Internship advice?

    Thank you for your advice. Well, within seconds of sending an inquiry email to DreamWorks, an automated response notified me that they weren't hiring. If I expect to have any chance, I'll need to contact an individual rather than a generalized HR email. I'll keep trying with LA studios, and look...

    Internship advice?

    I have, unfortunately, the internships they offer for credit are a couple years out for me. I'd really like to start now, and in Maine there aren't many options. Would those major studios be open to internships and low level positions from students not going through their school, and those out...

    Internship advice?

    Hello, I'm writing a letter to hopefully land an internship position, though I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. My resume is not nearly where I'd like it to be, only being a college freshman. Also, this particular studio is pretty major, and no doubt receives hundreds of...

    First few scenes of my screenplay

    Agreed. And I wouldn't want to misslead or muddy the world of film and live. I'm saying that I just used it, as that's what I had heard was the way one was supposed to denote text on screen-in a screenplay. I accepted that. To me it made sense as I connected what I knew of live in my mind. If...

    First few scenes of my screenplay

    Alright that makes sense. Wasn't sure what it was in the script setting. But when I do character generation for live broadcast I use the chyron lyric system. Good to know super is the up to date term.

    First few scenes of my screenplay

    When dealing with text, I use CHYRON: for example: CHYRON: Twelve years later. I'm not sure what others do or what the 'standard' is.

    Jared Leto's Joker

    I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. And haha, I had a music video of mine on perez hilton's site. I hate the guy, but publicity for the two of us who did it and the talent. still feel conflicted bout that. :p Until the release we'll just have to theorize.

    Jared Leto's Joker

    Dunno if you all are aware, but this isn't the look they're using. As much as I dislike these "sources"... http://www.inquisitr.com/2047129/jared-letos-joker-wont-have-those-ridiculous-tattoos-after-all-set-photos-show-real-version/...

    I need some screenwriting help

    Some main points: Remember STRUCTURE Proper script formatting, such as slug lines, action blocks, etc. Also the three act structure. Basically, Act 1 is to set up the world, characters, and introduce what the story is abut. Act 2 is the bulk of the script and is driven by conflict-obstacles...

    What are the best ways to make a video look filmic?

    Agreed on the color palette, bud. Basically, if you have any control over where/what you're filming, take the time to put thought into it, and know that every aspect of filmmaking is important enough to warrant your attention. and like anything, practice. keep at it. see what works and what...

    What are the best ways to make a video look filmic?

    Sharp focus, good motivated lighting, camera motion that supports the flow, quality audio, taking time to set up the set and framing, depth in foreground/background placement, etc.... There are so many elements.

    I'm 17 and just wrapped my first feature

    Hi, I'm just going to interject here. I don't wish to get involved in the argument, just trying to get people to take a step back. The fact is, this young man has created a feature. Taking age into account or not, you have to admit he had to be resourceful and creative to do this with what he...

    In need of Video Editors

    Could you describe the position a bit more? Is it a one time editor, or someone as part of your company? What kind of projects would be undertaken? Must applicants posses all these programs? and is this a position that could be filled from someone around the globe? Thank you, -Daniel

    My buddy showed me this like a month ago. I thought it was well done. Now to find out it was your second video. That's pretty cool.

    editing Sci-fi ship design question

    maybe examine orange as a possible engine color? and i mean that just the way the lighting is, it makes it look like live action miniatures form star wars, which is pretty cool.

    editing Sci-fi ship design question

    I feel that adding a little bit of specularity to the other ship's hull may give it more of a metallic feel. I really do like that ship's design and that render though, looks very old school. what program do you use? Also, I do like the green.

    editing Sci-fi ship design question

    Definitely unique and memorable. Though to me it just looks like something out of a b movie. And I attribute that to one thing.. The eye. I love the textureing, 'scales' and the engine pods (although a green glow would be better suited, I feel.) if there are going to be interior shots of this...

    Grading Reel

    After seeing your reel, I think I saw a tutorial of yours on the internet. If that was you, I just wanted to say it really helped me out, one of the most comprehensive ones out there. Beautiful reel either way.

    Alright. Thank you all. Personally, I like the third one the best.. Which is precisely why I'm shelving it for now. This will be my first feature script, and in time (hopefully not too much time,) my first feature. I have so much vision for the third, and I want to execute it after I've had some...

    If I may, what is your reasoning for your first statement? Also, in the logline, I probably should have written 'apparent suicide.' Nevertheless, I am interested to hear your reasoning.
