    The X-Grip you picked out is made of plastic and very light. You would be better saving up another 40 and going with the X-Grip MK3. Metal, heavy and very steady to hold. I have two. http://opteka.com/xgripexmkiii.aspx IMO. I bought one of these for $21 (inc shipping)...

    editing Editing: Film/Scene Length Opinions

    Thanks again for the advice. While I appreciate what you are saying, there are more problems than just editing. The main one being that I only had one actor in the whole film. Everyone else had never acted before. Other problems include a main 'actor' who wants nothing more to do with the film...

    editing Editing: Film/Scene Length Opinions

    The story behind the scene was that it was really windy and I was trying to get good sound. So we crouched down and tried to use the car as a windbreak. The sound turned out crap and I am having to redo it anyway. I should have just decided that on the day of the shoot, composed the shots...

    Even though the girls head goes out of frame? And I hear what you are saying and I would love to keep it like that, but the framing and the lighting irritates the heck out of me. I think the lesson I am slowly learning here is to try and strike a balance between brevity and what I want the...

    I am editing a feature length drama. I started out with 1hr 45mins of film, which I have since cut down to 1hr 30mins. I showed it to someone in the business and he said that it sill drags. I can see his point, but it's a drama that takes place over a few months, with outside scenes that show a...

    My film was made with the help of 40 people from where I work, an organization supporting adults with intellectual disabilities. I was thinking of putting my film on a webpage at say $3, and after website costs (that I would go as cheap as possible at), donating the entire remainder to my...

    "One Page per Minute" = SUCKS!!

    I got a 90 minute feature from a 52 page script. There was a montage at the beginning that just said 'Montage' in the script. Later, the words 'Road trip' appeared in the script. We had to make all that stuff up on the day and it's a total of 8 minutes of the film.

    editing No-Budget ADR Booth.

    The blankets killed the reverb in the room. Highly effective. I also put a blanket over the window and there are other soft furnishings in the room that all added to killing the reverb. The only thing I have to do to the recording is to do a light hiss removal. I am then free to edit the audio...
