    story Tell my director friend about my story ideas when he shamelessly rips off other works

    I got the opportunity to film a project with my friend. One of our big investors is also a mutual friend so it works out perfectly.

    editing Why so many digital indie short-films have such high contrast and saturation?

    I'm wondering about this because almost every indie short film I've seen this past year seems to have a very high saturation (usually red and yellowish.) I'm wondering if it's the auto filters they use to make the footage look more like film? I can understand for a commercial or music video...

    When the talent isn't performing it like you need it, how early do you say "Cut." ??

    When the talent isn't performing it like you need it, how early do you say "Cut." ?? Looking for opinions from everyone here. Let's say you know exactly how you want a particular scene to play out. But the actor doesn't perform in the scene, the way you want and you know that the take wasn't...
