    watch Short Action/Thriller film "PREY" (My biggest project so far)

    Some nice individual shots, liking the one of the guy running through the alleyway. The sound lets it down - the audio is not as 'crisp' as the picture quality (which shows your cinematography is heading the right way). I also think you should have shot this in your native language, English...

    London - willing to assist (boom/runner/pa/SIA)

    Willing to assist with any London based productions, as a boom operator or runner/pa free of charge and SIA licensed. I'm a director/writer myself but always a bonus to help on other London based UK productions. PM isn't always working so you can email me drysdale924@btinternet.com

    Approaching talent with a controversial subject matter

    Wow, two great (and very prompt) responses. The response I am getting is lots of preparation, show her that this isn't a whim project and scene, backing this up with storyboards and lots of rehearsal. It's obviously key that everyone, let alone the actress is at least comfortable with filming...

    Approaching talent with a controversial subject matter

    I plan on shooting my first feature early 2014, and, to be quite blunt and to the point, one of the main themes of my feature is rape. I will be working with a small crew (myself, DP, sound guy/boom op, makeup) with a budget of sub $15k. My concept has not been done before in this way, I've done...

    Cameras/rigs for POV shoot?

    I like the idea of the pocket cam, but will certainly need to wait til release for more tests. I wouldn't want to compromise on quality, so if the pocket cam is vastly inferior to the production camera's image quality then I would try and find a way around it - on paper it is very similar. I've...

    What the hell is wrong with me !

    You have the same problem 95% of aspiring film makers and even successful film makers have from time to time. I am in the same boat. You can probably visualise small details, particular scenes and a vision for the look and experience but just can't flesh out a concept or even write 'FADE IN:'...

    Cameras/rigs for POV shoot?

    I'm researching cameras and rigs for a POV shoot, any ideas or recommendations? I've obviously looked at the GoPro Hero 3, but the low light performance is terrible. A real key thing for me is strong low light performance. I will be hiring (either kit or DP with kit) so I can be a bit more...

    Free collaboration websites/forums?

    As with 99% of the forum users on here, I'm working on a micro budget. Can anyone recommend any (preferably London or UK based) networking sites/forums where film makers can collaborate for free or offer exchange of free services or support? Ideally, I'm looking for a forum where I can look for...

    Shooting in colleges/ University with student Production Value

    This - just frame your shots close to your actors and really populate the areas around them. You can enhance the scene through crowd audio in post. There are lots of ways. The cheaper option is like someone said, weekends using extras. I imagine that this scene won't take very long at all so...

    That 'jackpot' moment when you think of an idea.

    I've spent months and months thinking of an idea for a marketable, original and exciting concept. Something which 'hasn't been done before' - or at least elements of which haven't been done before. Every time I've come up with something, my immediate reaction is to head straight to...

    Avoiding infringement with niché ideas

    Because changing the logline would vastly change the concept. I am well aware that there are "no original ideas left in Hollywood" and that there are only a finite number of plots and ideas, my dilemma is that my idea is exactly the same as another film, yet my components are in a different...

    Avoiding infringement with niché ideas

    I had what I thought was a very niché and unique idea for a mockumentary, however having done research, it seems my basic concept has been done, only once, but very recently (within the last 4 years). I am still very keen to develop this concept, it is something that can be produced to a high...
