Sorry I took so long to reply to this, my computer decided it didn't want to connect to the internet for a week. I know you guys aren't trying to slam or insult me, and that you're only trying to help. However, Im in the exact same position; Im only trying to help clear all this up. I know that...

Oh, ok I see what you mean. I just wanted to go back and fix those things cause they are portfolio pieces, and I'd like people viewing my work to see my work at its best. If they were just old projects that I'd never use for anything again, I wouldn't bother. I only wanted to tweak them cause...

Well, I just asked my professor how this works, and he said that all you have to do is put the media you wish to use on a TV or monitor, and then film that TV or monitor. Thats all. BOOM. Instant legal copying. He sighted "The pocket Lawyer for filmmakers" by Thomas A Crowell as his source. The...

When was I rude? I didn't say anything rude or insulting. Can you specify what you're referring to? That's not an opinion. Whether or not something is legal is a matter of fact, not opinion or belief. I believe there was a need to tell you to pay attention, because you asked a question I had...

...What? What do you mean? Are you saying that I should leave the projects the way they are and work on new stuff?

Copyright law is anything but simple. Theses things are rarely clear, as people are constantly finding loopholes and twisting the wording of contracts and laws to get around the system. Profit does come into it, and is one of the main reasons you can use copyrighted material for educational...

No, Because its not as simple as that. It NEVER is. A more accurate description would be "You often need permission from the owner, or someone representing him, or someone related to him, under certain circumstances, unless you are making profit from it, to copy their property." There is NEVER a...

Hey thanks all around for the welcome, guys! oh, dont I know it. I had that drilled into my brain every day for a year by professor Mark Dobrowolski. "REMEMBER! Audio is 80% of your video!" I have a portfolio website. We had to create them for our last semester at PTI. The site itself is kinda...

I was actually planning on doing freelance stuff on my own, not for companies. Id probably puts ads on craigslist and stuff like that. Most likely filming small local events, stuff that people wouldn't really need a company for. Thanks for the tip, though. Its not buyers remorse. I was, and...

Right, thats what I was looking for. I knew I wouldnt be able to find a camera that I could change the internal lenses on, I just wanted the screw on lenses.

Not trying to be argumentative, but I assure you that law, especially copyright and trademark law, is NEVER simple.

Oops, sorry CDCosta. I didnt see your post. I dont claim to be an expert on lenses, but the page lists several additional lenses for the camera under the accessories tab. Why would it list all those lenses as accessories for this camera if it couldn't use them? EDIT: I think we be referring to...

Of course not, thats just piracy. But thats the point of this method; that you are NOT just shooting the movie and selling it. What you ARE doing, is shooting footage of YOUR actors and YOUR movie, which just so happens to have the movie playing on a tv in the shot. If you were shooting JUST the...

lolwut. :huh: You have 150 Gigs of Memory? Like, 150 GB RAM? I think you mean a 150 GB Hard drive, cause even though a 64-bit OS can theoretically address up to 192 GB, you'd be hard pressed to find a motherboard with that kind of capacity. I also think you mean a Terabyte hard drive. There's no...

Oops. Derr, yeah. That'd probably be helpful huh? Well, as I said, I graduated from PTI for video production and editing, so I could do some freelance stuff with the right equipment. But at the same time, I'd rather get a job with an existing company than try to start from scratch... I'll most...

I dont know for sure, but this may be something to look in to. I went to PTI for video/3D editing, and during a lesson, one of my professors mentioned something almost exactly like this. He said that if you want use a piece of copyrighted media, you can do so by taking footage of it on a screen...

Ok, so last week, I ordered a so-so camera from B&H Photo-video. This one. Its not a bad camera, but now Im thinking that I should have made a bigger investment and gotten a (much) better camera. It arrived at my house on Wednesday, so I can still return it and get a better one if I decide to...

Hey, my name is John. Im 20 years old, I live in Pittsburgh, and I graduated from PTI last October for Multimedia editing and design. I'm not really sure what exactly to say here, but if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask! When I was a kid, I always loved messing around with cameras...
