I recently did a buddy a favor and filmed his wedding, which was held in a huge church. I wasn't planning on using the audio from the ceremony anyway, but I figured I'd check on here first to see if there was any way I could salvage the very hollow sound. And, I know, I know, good audio can make...

I'll be filming a short film in late August and I've found a few locations that I need to try and lock down. The big one is an outdoor setting which takes place on a public road in a rural town. Along this road are maybe three or four houses and shutting down the road for a day would actually be...

I'm going to try to explain what I'm going for here and I'm hoping that my usual weakness in conveying something doesn't get in the way because I can't find a clip on youtube showing what I mean... So hang in there with me... There's a certain shot becoming more popular in films today that I've...

Similar threads have been posted before regarding this but I feel no single one really tackled this exact issue. Exactly how should I set up a DBA when going into PreProduction. I don't have any funding yet other than my own money. But I will be asking for contributions and investments. Do I...

So, I'm weighing my options for the next couple of years. I figure after a I do a few short films in the next year, year and a half, I'll have to make a next step. One of those possible next steps would be Grad School. One of the schools I am looking at is Savannah College of Arts and Design. I...

Hey all, I have a general business/financial question to throw out at anyone who wants to answer (especially the veterans). Throughout your "career" as a filmmaker, what kind of jobs (full or part-time) have you taken while making films to balance the money needed for production with your own...

Any suggestions for a cheap to mid-level 25mm lens for a Panasonic HVX-200a?

Hey all, Just a quick question. I've looked a few different places and have yet to find a solid answer on this. But should the Cut To: appear only at scene cuts? I ask because I like to write in short shots of flashbacks, thoughts, etc. which in the film would only last a few seconds on screen...

Hello All, I'm starting to budget for a short film I'll be shooting over the summer and I'm factoring in the money I'll need for Festival Entry Fees. The problem I'm having is, while I'm planning on submitting to bigger festivals like Tribeca, Sundance, and San Diego, I'd like to submit to some...

Hi, all. I've already posted a few times but figured I'd formally introduce myself. My name's Dan Fiore and I'm a Pittsburgh Filmmaker with an interest in making commercials, music videos, shorts and (someday) features. I direct and have written several screenplays which continually change and...

This is more of a computer tech question than anything really dealing with Editing but: Ok, so I got a Mac G5 in 2004, which does not have an Intel Processor but a PowerPC. So, basically, I'm screwed as far as updating it to Leopard or anything else decent and there for being able to get a...

Hey everyone. Someone posted a sweet video on another thread regarding lighting with cookies. I went to the sight and was blown away by how much I learned from a 5 minute video, so I was thinking about buying a few of their DVDs because they seem pretty cheap. I was hoping someone might be able...

Hey everyone. So, I've made a few films in the past (mostly student films) using a simply Sony home video cam and am now ready to start making some more professional-grade shorts and eventually a feature. I've saved up a decent amount of money to help fund these projects and the first step...
