Alright, thanks for the help :) I will let you guys know how it went.

That's exactly what I am trying to achieve. But I noticed that when the shot starts, you are only using a certain portion of the actual cut out. Should I start my shot by covering the actual portion of the monitor (instead of starting from the center) and then dolly out if I want to use my...

Hi, We are shooting a short this weekend and I would like some help regarding a scene in that short. In the short, we see a flashback scene playing and as it plays, we zoom out to show that it is being played on a computer monitor while our character is watching the footage. We haven't shot...

Hello all, I am going to make my first film soon and for the position of DP, I am holding interviews next week. I just wanted to know what kind of things do you talk about with the applicant? What are the important questions that I should ask?

A separate LLC for each movie is the standard practice in Hollywood and it's a good one. It helps you in protecting against law suits. However, if you are not that big of a filmmaker, creating a separate LLC for each movie can be cumbersome.

So have you guys paid the same price while making your short film? Thanks for the response. Got good info as always :)

Hey, So I am thinking of hiring a sound recordist pretty soon for my short film production, but I have some questions that I need to clear in my mind. This is my first production and it's a small film. There is no blood, no zombies. Just a drama about regular teenagers. So I would say the scale...

I took one class of Film Studies in my college and it was amazing. Helped me a lot as a filmmaker. I think the main question is that do you want to be a filmmaker or a professor who teaches film studies? If you want to be a filmmaker, then I think one or two classes with your other courses would...

Unless you are making a movie like Borat, you should be fine without taking signatures of people who accidentally appear in the movie.

What's the basic story? We need to know that before we can help out.

What do you mean by "foriegn princess of Indian rulers"? Can you elaborate it further?

@Kenpaffu Thanks for giving it a read. I'm happy that you liked it. I'll implement your suggestions in the next draft! @FantasySciFi Man, those are some real good suggestions! However, I want to confirm one thing.I am pretty sure you've got the same ending, but while reading some of your...

I know there is not much depth to Kate's character, for I focused a lot on Mike. It started of as a love story between Mike and Kate, but during rewrites, I decided to make it about Mike. I'll add more depth to Kate's character. My problem is that it's already 25 pages long lol. It's going to...

Hey guys, I just completed the nth draft of my first short screenplay, Resurgence (formerly known as Love is Online). I posted the first draft last year and got some really good feedback from the members here. One of the things that many mentioned that it needed more content. So I spent a lot...

Well, Red is meant for pros. For starters, it would be a good idea to mess around with 5D or other similar DSLRs.

1) Don't show credits in the starting. That's just wasting your time. 2) Write what you know (emotionally) 3) Get a great crew 4) Don't use your friends as actors

Well, I was not able to find a free one. Check out this article. It'll give you a better idea on budgeting. http://www.moviemaker.com/directing/article/basics_on_budgeting_your_movie_3010/

DSLR will definitely be good for this kind of music video. Try to get Canon 5D or 7D. If it's out of your budget, then T2i would be another good option. With good lighting, you'll get excellent footage. Here is a comparison between 5D and T2i - http://vimeo.com/10021921

DSLR is one of the reasons why 16 mm is becoming an endangered species.
