    Website video issues

    I'm still working on this. Ironically, it seems that if your Quicktime player displays a question mark it can still play the movie if it is downloaded directly (such as downloading to disk, or selecting the File > Open Url command). My website uses Quicktime alternatives (which selects the...

    Canon XL2

    Well, here's my opinion since I've used the XL-1S, XL2 and DVX. Since you live in the UK, even an older XL-1S is a good option. At 25fps, with it's "fake" movie mode progressive scan, it can be just as cinematic as 24p on XL2/DVX. No one can tell the difference between 25fps and 24fps. Since...

    Website video issues

    That's what I did not want to hear...:no: Can you please tell me which ones fall into which category? This is very weird. CootDog, are you using QuickTime 7.0.4 as well (also on a PC)?

    Website video issues

    "Trunk Fiction" is now fixed. The reupload did the job! Anyone else? Some people said they were not able to view any of the videos... I know QuickTime 7 had a lot of bugs. Version 7.0.4 had serious problems (for Mac anyway) and was pulled then re-released. I'm not sure if some people have...

    Website video issues

    Thank you, knightly. There is indeed a problem with the "Trunk Fiction" video. This seems like a corrupt QuickTime video file on the server. The video loads fine from my local html file, but not the one residing online. This one's new to me so I'm working on it. I will reupload the files...

    Website video issues

    It was recently brought to my attention that a few people had some difficulty viewing videos on my website. I would like to find the root of this pesky little problem! It would be a big help if you guys could check out my website and let me know if the videos work for you...

    watch Darkness

    The film has been on the shelf for a while now...I think part of me didn't want to accept the fact that nothing else could be done...[damn that camera mic, damn the greenscreen, damn the two week deadline for my slow-poke self...] But all excuses aside, I actually really like how some aspects...

    watch "Women And The Men They Long For" trailer

    If this was a feature that would be a big problem. Christine got the concept right (two women fall in love with the same guy). The girls are not lesbians :) That's why I liked the trailer to be uninformative so you can interpret anything about the characters. [Denis, you're too crazy and too...

    watch "Women And The Men They Long For" trailer

    King Goldfish, the music is intentional. As with the music comment, some thing are 'different' and not everyone may get them or like them. This is a trailer. You find out the connection between them in the film. There's no slapstick humor in here. I love the idea of having an unfunny...

    I think my Mac just crashed...

    Boot from your Mac OS CD by holding down the "C" key while your PowerBook starts up. Then open disk utility. There, select your PowerBook's HD and Repair Disk Permissions and Repair the disk. That should fix the missing password promt and other OS mishaps. As for the export, make sure you...

    Skype

    A nice thing about Skype is that it has incredible audio quality and it configures itself automatically to work within your network environment (you don't need to forward ports on routers, etc.).

    Broadcast standard.

    Listen to Clive, he clearly knows more about audio than I do (although that does not make you very special, Clive :) ) [I wrote that post at 2am, when abviously I should have gone to sleep instead!] Luckely I have my "audio girl" to whom I send my edits. She does the mixing in Protools. I do...

    watch Lost Mission trailer online

    I've watched the trailer and here's my opinion: I honestly think the first shot (helicopter about to land) is the only shot I would use in the trailer. To me, it is the only shot that is believable. After that, I cannot take the film seriously. I'll explain: As Clive said (in fact I...

    Broadcast standard.

    I'm not an audio guys but I've done some basic audio editing/mixing. Using your ear to adjust the levels is something you do in the early stages of the mix. There you adjust how you percieve the different levels of your audio elements should mix (volume of dialog, music, sfx, etc). Dialog is...

    Help with animated title

    Thanks guys. This was for the first cut of the film and therefore I was looking for a very quick solution. That's why I opted for something similar to LiveType where you can pick something you like and customize it to fit your needs. Flash would be great for the job, John, but too complicated...
