hey there, lies... i'm next door in ohio :) yeah, i haven't been here very long either... but seems like a very cool place from what i've seen so far. welcome :)

hey... welcome :) sounds like an interesting project... good luck on it, and welcome to the forum :)

this is the guy who does all the music for my films... Rob Hemmick... and i help him with his music... we shot this a couple weeks ago... thought some of you might enjoy it... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbfNyPcDs4U

welcome fernando... i'm not in the UK... but i do love fish and chips ;)

was an interesting little piece... i would agree with smith that you need to get a tripod. handheld shots are nice... but they need to be for a purpose. perhaps a mixture of both handheld and still shots might work. i couldn't understand it either... but one thing i would say is that film is...

amazing timing... i was just wondering how to convert avchd into something that vegas can edit better... and voila! here you are giving us all of this wonderful information :) thanks for posting it. i, for one, appreciate it :)

of those you mentioned, i'd suggest going with the MiniDV camera so you can easily transfer to your computer.... or, even better... get a cheap camera that records straight to sd flash memory cards.... much easier... no worries about chewed tapes... and there are some pretty cheap ones out there...

are you editing in HD? that could be the cause, combined with too high a quality setting on the preview window... otherwise i don't know why it would lag with no effects... that's weird, especially with the system you have.... the preview quality you have it set on can make a big difference...

well... i'm assuming you already did this... but the first thing to try is to put the preview on "draft" quality... yeah it makes it look pixellated... but it plays much smoother... assuming you've done that... you can try defragging, or gettting more RAM... it's also caused when you have...

thanks brooksy :) glad you enjoyed it. and don't worry... not "hurt" or whatever by your review... i'd rather have honest constructive critique anyway :) yeah... now than i think about it... you're right about the lighting... my reasoning for it being the way it was was that i wanted it to...

hey... anyone had a chance to watch this? bueller... bueller?

thanks for the critique, varmint... i'm glad you liked it overall... and thanks for your ideas :) thanks dpkevin... glad you enjoyed it. i've thought about doing a 48hr fest... but just haven't gotten into one yet.... i've got a couple of my films in consideration for the Oxford Int'l Film...

this was my 4th film. it was based on a couple of fairly creepy verses from the old testament book of Amos, after which the film is named. i shot it in the spring of 2005... though i had a couple annoying computer crashes before i finally got it finished sometime in 2006. let me know what you...

thanks.... glad i could be of some help.... and don't think that i'm trying to say that story isn't important.... or that a good story isn't necessary... because that's not it at all.... i agree with others here that many movies today suffer from story and script problems.... so many of them...

i just wrote a thing on "story" over in another thread.... http://www.indietalk.com/showpost.php?p=90348&postcount=4 and before you bash what i said... i do love a good story... and i think weak stories and weak scripts are a huge problem in hollywood today... so many movies would have...

to me... the story is just another tool in the filmmaker's box... it's not the whole point of the film... it's not "everything"... (i know many will disagree with that)... but to me, if all that someone cared about was story... they would read a book.... to me, not EVERYTHING has to support...
