Recording the final bits of narration for fellow Indietalk alum Ernest Worthing's feature.

Look what the cat dragged in! Nice to be back.

The consumer version of Vegas is around a hundred bucks and even has a decent Super 8 effect preset.

I was just wondering about you.

It's all about discipline. I grew up romanticizing writers and thinking how glamorous it must be to be able to just write all day. And constantly saying "I want to be a writer." But never putting in the work. It's work. There's no getting around that. And work is sometimes painful and dull as...

One of a kind.

Congrats!

Here's an essay movie which is also a good example of how even amidst catastrophic equipment failure, art can still be made. I sold this movie for $400 to a literary journal last year, and it was distributed in their annual DVD issue to over 3,500 subscribers. Please enjoy SUITE: Billy Gutz...

Airbnb is strictly residences, right? Residences aren't usually that difficult to acquire for location shooting, I wouldn't think. Even if your network of family and associates is pretty small usually someone has a residence you could beg to borrow for your movie. I imagine if you found a...

Those who can, do; those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach, teach gym.

Make a movie! Get your camera out and one or two lights and some props and tell a story on your coffee table with your camera. Edit it together and post it here and ask specific questions like "I want this kind of light effect...what could I have done differently?" or "my narration sounded...

The people writing the closed-captions on Netflix are KILLING IT. If you are new to filmmaking and want a crash-course on sound design, watch some movies on Netflix or Hulu with the captions turned on. You'll often find that they caption every single sound element within any given scene and...

Check out Stanley Kubrick's The Killing for another example.

Thanks. Yeah, it seemed to work on test projects where I only had one short clip in the editor but now that I have the workings of an entire short, it crashes every time. Might have to render each scene or just grade conventionally with the on-board Sony tools. Dang! I was looking forward to...

Anyone here experience this? I've seen a whole bunch of answers that aren't working for me. I'll add Magic Bullet to the effects chain of a clip and when I go to edit the settings it'll either say "Can't find a usable frame to open the editing window" or it will start to open, hang up, and...

:director: Welcome!

Cool! Thanks for the link.

The Zoom and the Tascam sort of look like Tasers anyway, so a pistol grip is only appropriate.

Russell Johnson was also in a couple of excellent Twilight Zone episodes, each curiously having to do with time travel. Execution and Back There.

What do you have in terms of sound recording equipment? Might be wise to stick with the 7D and invest in audio if you have none.
