sorry, I got a message that you tried to message me but my inbox was full. It's empty now LOL Catalina

Wow, this is some amazing feedback! Thanks so much. Don, I love your process - can I be you? Buddy, yours was awesome and I love the '40 and not skinny' character naming idea as much as I aspire to never be her!

I know, it's been ages, huh?

Is anyone familiar with re-writing strategies? Obviously you can write the second draft from scratch without looking at the first draft. Or you could just take the first draft and change it according to instinct or feedback. Does anyone know of any other strategies?

Hi all, I'm trying to transfer data from 8mm tapes to digital on my hard drive. The 8mm camera upon which I made the 8mm videos has died. My newer digital camera has a firewire port and an S-video port (although I don't really know what that is and have never used it). So, does anyone have...

I have a tough question for you all. I have an idea for a short. But I got it out of a book. It's a true story of this short event in this woman's life. I have never met her - I just know her name from the book. Should I try to get in touch with her and ask if I can use her story? or...

full on luvvie full on luvvie here Please help me find my inner geek - at least the part that's good at math and technology! Catalina

Thanks! That's a great answer. I'm not a techie geek and so as long as it can look like film to most people, I'm fine. I'm looking for good enough, not technical perfection. Thanks again! Catalina

Wow, that's a lot of good information! Thank you! So can I edit on FCExpress from my 24p camera (so far so good apparently) and THEN buy CineTools separately to make my video look like a film? Catalina

This is the critical question for me. I hope someone can answer this so I can finally go out and get the right software! Catalina

never heard that one before LOL I'll have to tell my mother! Catalina

I just read Florian's introduction and realized that even though I joined and began posting last week, I never introduced myself. Now what are people going to think of my manners?! Hi. My name is Catalina and I'm in Northern California. I'm 22 and just finished college and trying to figure...

If the point of my movie at film festivals is to attract attention and potentially awards and future financing, what is the difference between a short and a feature length film? Obviously I can make the short much faster and cheaper. But will it open the same doors and impress as well? Can I...

Thanks, that was really helpful - thanks for all of you! I didn't really understand the part about compression and filters and HD, but I can tell you that I am planning on shooting on 24p like the AG-DVX100 (not that I bought the camera yet!) Does that mean that I should get FCPro rather than...

Jim, I think it's a great idea! More power to you! Catalina

I'm thinking about making my first feature film. I'm doing it because I want to and not for the money because I doubt I'll ever make any. But can someone give me a reasonable estimate of my chances to find a distributor and make money - and how much? If I need investors, I need to be able to...

Re: Have stories with fat heroines - need a film for a festi what a great idea - you go girl! I'd be curious to see the stories. But I couldn't tell much from the website. Let me know… Catalina
