Oh man, a Chicago girl. I should have known there'd be a Polish connection. Czesc. How come boom poles are always straight and the mic mounted so close to the end. Wouldnt it be easier to hold and position over obstacles if it was bowed or arched?

As a Polish person I find this thread highly offensive.

I've decided (yes, in 1 hour) that it makes more sense to just focus on one or two scenes. I bet theres more than enough challenges in one scene that trying to make it look and feel right can be educational enough on its own. I bet you could spend hours and hours, if not days and days, on that...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTywAyDcMo8&feature=related This guy, that Ive seen mentioned on this site before, did a great reenactment of GGR, and he wasnt really even going for much more than showcasing his profile. It was pretty entertaining what he pulled off by just using acting, without...

No, not copy DVDs. But like cover bands copy songs. It seems like a lot of beginners try to write their own scripts and so forth, and create their own artistic representation of camerawork, editing, acting styles, and so forth. Do people ever go out and try to copy entire movies for...

I think the bigger point is that the OP is looking for something to buy. Turns out he was going to buy an Iphone or now the Kodak phone so that he can record a movie. (and I'm sure use it as a cell phone). But the options for cheap used halfway decent cameras for <$100 are out there. So if...

It's only been about two weeks since I've gone on a binge reading about film producing, directing, and filming. It's completely watching a movie for the story vs watching for technique. Since then I've watched: Up In The Air Rebel Without a Cause Bitter Moon by Roman Polanski Liked all 3 for...

I would hope more than .01% respond. Because if that is true, the ad was only expected to yield 33 responders. For $450 you can look into very targeted keyword google pay per click keywords. Offering google 50 cents you'd get atleast ~1000 viewers to your site. Not sure what your conversion...

4 years later and 100x more talent someone has managed to do this with 3ds max? Amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuzH4gQv-9w

A 3 person group created the following animation as our last project in a 3d modeling class in 2006. Guidelines were you had to take something apart, modeling it to a 1/16" inch, and then show some kind of animation that describes how the pieces all fit together. This was followed by an action...

That was great, I actually sat there feeling nervous for her the entire last few minutes. One question. I'm confused about the ending. I had a feeling he was trying to get her location and it turned out right. However, was he the enemy? I sounded like he was the enemy country fooling her into...

Can you give a little more information about the cost of the ad, and possibly the kind of return on investment you were expecting (or was it simply to get more views), and what the final result was (even though your ad may not have been seen by as many as expected)?

Yup it did answer my question, especially since you had access to a stabilizer. I hadn't thought about the size and potential intimidation of it.

Wow, I apologize, I completely underestimated the Iphone. Looks like it makes better quality web-size videos than equipment most people had access to 10 years ago.

Hi, I have a more technical question, but maybe the answer is part artistic value. Is there a reason to not use a steadicam device, especially since I've seen half decent results out of $20 do it yourself devices? Sure they wont give the same results as the real things. But it seems like if...

If all you have is an iPhone (which technically costs way more than a used consumer camera), you could TRY to work it into the script. For example, a movie about two people on their webcams talking to each other on the other side of the world, and every shot is made to look like it's a shot from...

True. On a side note, if you do put everything you have into making a pilot, and somebody likes it, would they really hire YOU to make it? If they REALLY believed in the idea, seems like they would say "hmm, thats interesting.. what do you want for the rights?" and then just have some pros do...

The East Coast US to West timed race has already been done by a few people, but I have a few friends that want to do a different geographic region. We'll see. I'm guessing you guys know the old short film 'C'était un Rendez-vous'. Pretty cool stuff. If for some crazy reason you guys havent...

Its 2am here and I'm also tired, but I read it twice and it still sounds like it could be put together by 'Mad Libs' randomly. I barely know whats going on. I'm not a writer, and english isnt my native language, but I have a feeling something weird is going on here because I'm confused. The DOG...

Randomly stumbled upon a TOP GEAR USA story on a blog, and look at what they're using. I still think I see a market for my remote controlled pneumatic quick acting crane with self leveling robotic arm.
