Anyone have any good suggestions of books on documentary film making? I'm going to be trying to get a internship on a docu. and need some insights into the production part of making one.

I had a sudden brain dropping just now. You could use a large tricycle. I'm not sure if anyone has ever seen one, but they're basically regular bicycle but with two wheels on the back with a sizable axle and cart for holding things in the middle. It shouldn't take too much difficulty to attach a...

I added those to the list, and to my own personal list of books to get.

Not sure if any of you have checked it out but Sony makes a program now called Cinescore that's a very intuitive soundtrack creation program. I plan on using it to make some soundtrack material, but mostly to show a musician what I need.

Five C's Of Cinematography - Joseph V Mascelli Professional Cameraman's Handbook - Verne and Sylvia Carison Practical Art Of Motion Picture Sound - David Lewis Yewdall Cinematography - Kris Malkiewicz The Technique Of Editing 16mm Film - John Burder Before You Shoot - Helen Garvy 16mm Film...

just wow!

It's been awhile since the last post on this, but just in case I'll throw in my two cents. You can use the Riva FLV encoder to make your FLV files : http://www.rivavx.com/index.php?downloads0&L=3 Then you can play them on the web using JW FLV player ...

The cinematography was excellent I thought. everything was consistent, looked good, was well framed, and was kept interesting.....alot of this is thanks to whomever was the editor of course, who also did a top-notch job......I will say this, it used the "shaky" style that seems to be all the...

The plans for the film, and what you have lined up effect this more then anything. If you have major distribution setup, then worry about it. Do you only plan on hitting the horror convention scene and selling it at a table, submitting to contests and the like? If so then don't worry a bit about...

For advertising the actual event...nothing beats a good old fashioned B&W flyer, and a VERY VERY VERY SHORT pitch when you hand it to someone(like 5-10 words). I use http://www.fastcolorcopies.com/ to do my flyer printing. I do a 4-way flyer and use a paper cutter to split it into 4's. at their...

Well that's pretty sweet! I'll have to remember this in the future. The selection of lenses for any given camcorder are lacking to say the least, and 35mm ones abound!

Hey atleast you can feel safe in the fact that it means frugal, functional, sleek, and well engineered. I'd rather be vintage then expensive, plastic, and generally ugly. P.S. It's actually near impossible to get a good color temperature gauge at a decent price that isn't 30+ years old. I went...

I don't think using an adaptor will give you the effect you're looking for. If I grasp this whole optics thing in the least it seems to me that everything is set according to the size of the filming area(it's the gate and film size on old camera's and the size of the gate/CCD on newer stuff I...

I'm sure someone out there knows a place that sells film cheaper, but here's a link to Spectra. They'll sell you a whole package deal in for Super 8 where they'll send you some film. You use the film up and then send it back to them for processing and telecining. You can have them send the...

Do posts in Various sections of Craigslist. like gigs=>creative, gigs=>crew, jobs=>tv/film/video, communities=>events,general, and activities Also in Services=>creative You'll find a bunch of folks makin stuff through that method

I don't think anyone should attempt this on a small or non existent budget without ALOT of skill. In the first place 24P is an attempt to look like film which is practically impossible, and then to try to take 30 and pull out frames to make it look like 24P to make it look like film.....it's...

This is exactly how I've done it so far. It's cheaper then buying a DAT for the true No-Budget filmmaker. You just grab a miniDV for a couple bucks, film whatever, record the sound....transfer and then either turn off the visual channel, or pull out the audio and just use it...simple as pie...

I've made an entire 30 minute film with a wide angle. Lots of movies use them ALOT....it's all about finding your individual style. I myself am trying to back off of their use so that I can use them to have visual exclamation points. I find they work really well with swoops, close objects that...

I'm not sure about all this apple vs. pc stuff, but I know I like the Adobe series of products. Just a couple years ago the integration of all their products was a tad on the loose side, but more and more it's becoming an insanely similar environment over multiple programs with good integration...

I'm not sure what you're using for motion tracking, but I know that if you use after effects you can set a nice place of high contrast to track and then if the action gets insanely shakey you can shuffle the footage to the place where the mark went off and re-put it where it needs to be. other...
