Something my friend came up with. We did this between us two only, and balled off the lines. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A36MXVmU65o

I will be shooting my first feature soon. I am making short films as of right now for experience. I was wondering for my feature, is an editor really necessary? I never really understood the need for an editor. I edited many short films and they all look good and I've never taken an editing...

I am saving up for a new computer, and editing system. Is it true that Avid and Final Cut are the only industry standards? That is what I hear all the time. Does that mean I cannot edit in programs such as Sony Vegas if I plan on having this film being distributed in the industry? Am I stuck...

I soon will be getting a Canon T2i or 7D (footage is basically the same so doesn't matter). I downloaded some raw test footages of it and it lags horrible when I try to edit in Sony Vegas in my laptop. I am thinking of building a computer to edit HD videos once I get an HD camera. Should I buy...

I got myself a DVX100b and I love it. Making films with this camera is fun and the manual controls and quality just make it better. However, I am working on my first feature and will shoot it later this year. I was planning on shooting with my DVX for it. Is that a bad idea? Is SD getting...

I know this is a far fetched question, but w/e. I'm currently writing my first feature and everyone I have spoken with has told me it is a great script. I know that having even a decent-popular actor in your film will help boost with the marketing of your feature by a lot. I just wanted to...

I'm buying a couple of used DVX100s (Not A or B, just the regular) for about a grand each. All of them have about 300 hours or more used on the heads. What should I be looking for when I receive the camcorder (certain problems)? I will have a 60 days warranty. Thanks.

Legally, would I not need copyrights to have Beethoven or any other composer music that was under a certain year in my films? I heard something about this, but was never clarified. Thanks.

I am 18 years old turning 19 next month. However, I plan on making my first feature length film very soon. I have created many short films and feel as if I'm ready mentally to create my first feature length film. I do also plan to have the main role in it myself. I am an actor. I have taken...

Is it possible for me to find work in the film industry without going to college? Of course, my goal is to become a director with a deal with a highly respected movie industry. However, will going to college help me achieve that goal or just be a waste of my time? Is it better to just go work...

I currently live in San Francisco. Many people tell me it's the number one place to do indie filmmaking, which I am doing. However, I'm moving to Los Angeles soon. Not for filmmaking, but because I have to move there (personal reasons). Is my chances greater or worse there into breaking into the...

Sorry, but that's the only kind of money I have to spend right now. I'm only making videos for practices and short films for city events. I need something that can record good dialogue inside and outside. Something good for filmmaking and not music recording. Sorry, I'm not good at audio tech.

I try to make films that are around the ten minute length because I want to keep it short and simple, but when I start to write the screenplay, I get too attached to the character and write too much dilalogue and story for a short film. It's too long for a short film but too short for a feature...

First of all, I'm only 17 years old, still in high school, so this doesn't affect me just yet, but I want to learn the ways of getting a film financed. Say if I'm 19 and wrote a screenplay and wanted to direct it, how would I get my film financed, in terms of borrowing camcorder, getting actors...

I had an ATR 55 microphone, it was pretty crappy, but anything's better than the onboard camcorder microphone. My budget isn't that high, around $100 is what I'm trying to spend. What's the best microphone I can get? I'm only uploading these films to my youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=us4O1NYMBk8 I need some feedback, yo ;). It's my first short film and I don't have much experience. I also am the actor in the film and it was really hard to get the angles I wanted while acting. Please leave feedback for both the directing and acting, thanks =).
