Elly mentioned having a short. As far as funding goes, making a trailer or short version of your feature is a godo way to try and secure the funding. THis way investors who are serious about film and WILL give you funding will take you more seriously and see that you not only actually the...

I have been trying to hook up a video monitor but when I do it just becomes a second monitor since my computer has dual display capability. So what am I doing wrong or is there a setting I am missing. At the moment I am using Avid Xpress Pro and I can't seem to see anything for me to change in...

I saw rob zombie on Henry (Rollins) film corner on IFC (love this show!!) and apprantely it took him a long time to get Funding. but eventually Lion's gate took it in and saw that it actually made some money for them so gave him a sequel. I have never seen either film, but my friends love the...

Okay, I keep hearing that you can process super 8 film at walmart b.c they send away to fuji. :huh: Does anyone know if this rings any truth and if so, is it just a particular kind of stock? I am very curious b/c i want to purchase a super 8 camera so that I can learn in more detail actual...

thanx for all the advice. but I am not going to lie...i am very undecided! but I do have a PC and premiere does bring a great bundle..........hmm...gonna have to keep thinking a bit longer

Okay, so let me get this straight. Since I am going to be dealing with 24p, Abobe should be out of the question. okay, but for argument sake, let say that I can get a MAC (not saying that, just want to know exactly what I am dealing with), is the concensus that FCP is the way to go? thanx...

:huh: question? What do people think about Avid Xpress Pro Versus Abobe Premiere? I am thinking about getting either one (I have a PC) and have worked with both in the past, but not enough to know which I like better, is better, etc. If this makes a difference, I would be editing footage shot...

hello everyone! well i have a question. I am working on a film and we were getting some proposals from production companies that have d.p's, gaffers, etc for hire and on the proposal it had a day rate and then a weekly rate. but then the weekly rate had an asterik and it said, and I quote "...

I believe Gerg Harrison's film "November"as shot with the Pan Dvx100

THanx arniepix. we didn't even look at that one. It looks like a good camera and since its not HD, seems we don't have all those trouble people have been talking about in terms of editing. Well not really problems, but more things so keep in mind. NOw that I know we don't have HD editing...

I was reading on some other stuff about video moviemaking and seems that alot agrees that lighting is extremely different with video than with film. So would you guys/gals recommend that they get the panasonic 24p and "perfect", "learn well", etc the ins and outs of this kind of camera before...
