It's all about common sense and budget at the end of the day. I was reading posts on this message board for a very long time before I registered and said hi. I've read many posts by many members with far more knowledge and money than me. And anyone with any common sense appreciates ALL the...

Avidemux. It ain't pretty, but it's free and it can do a job.

It's okay to show the model, just not the brand. If you are using a lot of the same car, you can do what I did. I took the original grill off my GMC Yukon and replaced it with an after-market grill with no GMC on it. Cost me $50 from Ebay and $40 for my mechanic to put it on. You will see on...

I really think you are going to have to spend a few more dollars. +1 for Alcove's suggestion of the "Rode VideoMic & Micro Boompole Kit with Windbuster." With Zoom H1 Ultra-Portable Digital Audio Recorder. Total cost = $300. Not the best equipment in the world, but if it's all you can afford...

I dunno, the VHS tapes I use when I film with this are just so darn handy to store. SD is definitely the way to go.

It's not rocket science: :clap:

I'm sorry, but I just cannot take anything seriously that talks about filmmaking on a video recorded in portrait mode. I just can't. Never, ever, ever. :bang:

Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colors: Blue and The Double Life of Veronique. Sorry, that's two films. I couldn't decide between them.

Cyrano de Bergerac. A poetic film, literally. "The English subtitles use Anthony Burgess's translation of the text, which uses five-beat lines with a varying number of syllables and a regular couplet rhyming scheme, in other words, a sprung rhythm. Although he sustains the five-beat rhythm...

I just scrounged an old flat screen monitor from where I work, I will use this for the video in Sony Vegas, enabling me to have more workspace on my 23" monitor. I have no idea how your editing software works, but maybe you could try a similar setup? The only thing I had to spend money on, was a...

I'm sorta new here. Lurked for a long time before registering. I'm editing my first feature. I'm doing audio at the moment. Replacing some bad sound in a few scenes and listening to music donated by various friends to see if I can make any of it work. I'm meeting with a friend tomorrow and...

You can get something pretty decent for $600, especially if you get a used one from a reputable dealer. Things to look for are image stabilization, microphone input, filter ring, manual controls, headphone output, SD card slot. You should consider pricing in spare batteries with an off camera...

I've read that this certainly applies when you are filming outside and for example, you can see McDonalds golden arches in the back of a shot, where they are just there in the world and not the focal point of the shot. You could be right about the soup being in it's place and just background. If...

Because the owner of the logo might not want to be in your film. You either have to get their permission, or not show them. That said, if you are just making these films for private screenings, then you shouldn't have to worry about logos. For anything public/commercial then it's easier to cover...

I've moved house four times across two continents and been married twice and divorced once since this thread was started. Idea. Basic story. Scene list/first visualization. Script. Full-on visualization.

I shot a scene guerrilla style in K-Mart and it was really noisy. Lots of beeping and other noises you don't think are going to be there before you shoot. Refrigerators/freezers make more noise than think they do! Also, you might want to keep any logo's out of frame. I wish I had used a boom to...

Thanks for the tip. I've got a birthday coming up soon and will consider the headphones you suggested, as they are a really decent price.

I am curious to what you might think of these: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDRXD200-MDR-XD200-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B0007N55NW I picked them up at a yard sale last summer for $10. They have a 3 metre cord and were in excellent condition. I compared the specs with the example you posted and the...
