Weirdest day of our film shoot so far. Had our location crashed by a reality TV crew showing up to shoot an episode of "My Big Fat Redneck Vacation." The frustration aside of getting our shots while they kept getting in the background, I was shocked to see such a large crew for a reality show. I...

I will be in LA for the AFM in Santa Monica this year, mainly to see friends and check it out. I have never been to one. Is anyone here going to be attending, and has anyone here ever sold a film at the AFM or worked it otherwise? Would love to hear.

Currently shooting a project on a Canon 5D. Looking at a 10-22mm EF-S lens to help with a scene coming up, but want to know if anyone here has tried modifying an EF-S to work with a full frame camera like the 5D and has it worked? I've seen posts online at other sites about modifying the lens...

I've been off the board for a few months so I don't know if there is a running thread on this movie under a different heading, but the last few days I've seen tons of articles about this "micro-budget" horror, purchased by Paramount for "$1 million," and is now making gobs of money even though...

Looking for a DVD printing company that someone has had luck with. Professional printing on sleeve and disc, shrink wrapping as well as reasonable pricing. I know there are a lot of companies out there but I can't tell you how disappointing it is to pick up a DVD that has poor print quality on...

Curious, how many folks on the board are lone wolf's pulling together a rag tag team of friends, actors and crew on their own to make a movie and how many have a partner or small team that they regularly work with? Whether it be a Producer/Director relationship, Co-Writer, Co-Director etc...

Have any of the 5D shooters had any experience with the Juicelink CX231 for in camera audio?

Very recently there was an Apple/PC battle on another thread so the last thing I want to provoke is more of that so consider my question to cover your app laden smart phones as well. If you do, what apps do you use and why? What have been your successes and failures. Laptops have been on sets...

I'm about to embark on my first project shot on an DSLR. I previously shot a feature on miniDV using a Panasonic DVX100A, 24p, Anamorphic. I mic'ed the project with a simple boom plugged into one of the camera's XLR inputs. In hopes of learning enough to attempt a second feature, we're...
