I'm not sure if this a valid question or not. Anyways, I'm wondering what kind of camera professional movies are shot on? I know it has something to do with 35mm film, but how does it have that high-quailty picture? I guess I'm just curious and ignorant toward cameras... Thanks.

Napoleon Dynamite, no need for explanation..

What happens to college undergrads that major in Film after they graduate? Where do they go after it? Do they typically go make movies independently, or with the studios? I'm curious. Thanks.

These are all great comments. Thank you! BTW, what is a spec script?

Hi guys, What do you do to get ideas for your next film, documentary etc.? Do you sit by the park and take notes on what happens? You ride inside buses to watch people's interactions? What do you do, what is your "idea-grabber" place/thing that you do to get those ideas. Please share.

Should I keep writing shorts and full-lengths? Should I get connected with places? I guess what I'm asking, is when am I going to get "noticed"? If someone's writing or making shorts and posting on youtube, and submitting to film festivals, how are they ever going to get past that? It's a...

Hi, I just recently finished my first commercial film, which was not a huge success, but glad that I had finished it. I want to continue the start of my filmmaking career, but what do I do now? What's next? How can I make my next step? Is it to keep writing, entering contests, what do you...

Ahhhh, yeah, you're right. It wasn't that creative to that point. I understand. I'll try better next time... thanks for looking at it.

Hi guys, My friends and I have been working on this video about defending prescription and over the counter medicines that teenagers abuse. It's a given topic for a contest on www.schooltube.com. The requirement is it has to be from 30-60 seconds long. So, without further ado, this is it...

Since the only mic I have is 'mono', is that okay? Is it sufficient?

Yes. What is mono and stereo?

Hi, I borrowed a microphone from the TV/Film and noticed that there is one black "band" around the "input" (the part that is inputted in the camcorder to record sound - remind of what that's called) but I noticed that there are some "inputs" that have two black bands. Why is this? Is this...

Great. Thanks for the help. I'll do the best I can to get as many volunteers as possible to create a successful film. I'll be sure to ask the TV/Film teacher if I could borrow some of the equipment. Hopefully, he'll let me. Also, this is kind of a random question but I realized that there...

Okay. I forgot to tell you this before. Here's the deal: My high school was invited to participate in a film contest by www.Schooltube.com. The contest is to make a 30-60 second film fighting against the prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse by teenagers...

Not really. I don't have much of a crew. I have a few friends, but they are not experienced in any lighting. I don't know how to film this film when I'm so inexperienced, without lighting. And I don't want to go out and buy hundreds of dollars of equipment. I don't know what to...

Okay. I feel better now. When you mention "lighting," I am planning on shooting it in a grocery store which will have great lighting, but do I need anymore than that?

Anyone?

Hi, I asked my friend if I could borrow his video camera. He said, yes. It's a pretty old camera, Sony DSC TRV-30. It's a Mini DV camera, pretty good quality, but it's not HD. Since I don't have a camera, he is glad to help me by lending me his camera, and I like the camera. However, if...

You seem quite experienced and I just was curious. BTW, what camera did you use for your NUN OF THAT?

I've heard from people to go get HD cameras. But what is HD with mini dv? Does that mean you still use tapes? Is that okay? What do you recommend?
