This is a video I made for my portfolio using After Effects and a suite of plugins and expressions (some copy pasted, most written by myself) to create a sort of...story. I'm going to be honest, at first I worked on this for the sake of working on it, but eventually it turned into something and...

I've been throwing ideas around for comedys since I've joined this site, and while a few have been put on hold due to actor/technical constraints, I had an idea for one that I could shoot right now. Here's a shortened version of the script (in normal talk), tell me what you think. I'm probably...

Does anyone know how well a 50m 1.8 lens with a 550D hold up at night in a parking lot. The parking lot has street lights every..say 20 meters or so. With my stock 18-55mm 3.5-5.6 night shooting is really hard with out my own lighting, and videos on youtube with low-light shots are helpful, but...

Tell me someone just watched tonight's episode of Dexter. Un-freaking-believable. One thing I don't get though is that how did Either way, can't wait till next week.

I'm wondering what kind of cameras and focus systems are used for sports broadcasts. I noticed in a soccer game that the camera was gigantic. I'm also wondering how they have such shallow DOF yet the player is always in focus, I've never seen a breathing focus either so I'm guessing it's...

So Sprint is having a competition for a 30 second short. Winner gets $25,000 and the rules are it has to be a maximum of 3 people in the short, for a max of 30 seconds, and it has to be under the theme of EPIC. I'm trying to think of something that shouldn't be epic but I could make epic (eg...

I want to go to school, because I network a lot better that way and I need to be organized to get shit done. Anywho, I've heard York alumini are known to be involved a lot with the toronto film festival and the such...what does that even mean? Anyone got any info on York to share? Or any...

After hearing this song I immediately wanted to use it in the end of my short (the one I was talking about a few weeks ago). Basically I'm imagining me humming this song at first then as I turn the corner my friends slowly start coming into the scene singing with me and it turns into a full out...

Cinematography on his videos are amazing, and just amazing to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk7NIgfmndI&hd=1

I don't know if this applies to others as it does to me, but academically I do pretty well in school, I like my maths and sciences and history, I don't exactly study too hard, but its a part of school I actually enjoy learning. I like knowing how things work and how the world operates...my...

I'm wondering if on my next project I should try and go with the whole cinema look with anamorphic ratios (I'm not even sure if I'm using those words in the right place). For example taking a 1920x1080 shot and cropping it to a 1920x810. I took some test footage around my house. Quality looks...

I have no idea where I want to take my passion of films, be it as a director, a writer, actor, or 3D computer animation artist, I don't have a clue, but I know I like it, so I have my eyes on Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada. From what I've heard it's a great school, lots of opportunities...

This has been bothering me, and all my googling has not given me a proper answer yet so I thought I'd bring it here. I still don't understand the retardedly expensiveness of some of the heavy duty professional filming cameras out there. For example the RED ONE camera, it's to my understanding...

This is a short a few friends of mine decided to do over the summer. Over the course of shooting the story line became very ambiguous and hard to follow, I'm aware of that because we didn't plan this out very well, script was shoddy, but we learned for our next project. Story follows a kid who...

I thought I had a good idea for a comedic short and here is what I have so far... If it's not obvious I have no past experience in writing scripts..or stories for that matter. Thanks in advance. PS. Sorry for the really long read, got a lot on my mind. :)

As the title suggests, not sure what I want to do, write and act like Jason Segal, direct, edit, all I know is that I love movies and the process of making them. Oh and my name is Sina, I live in Toronto Canada and I'm 17 years old. I'm currently working on little comedic shorts (yea i know...
