Hi all! I haven't been around here for a while! Hope everything's going well for everybody. I've recently decided to once again turn my hand to stop-motion animation (or at least attempt to). I've just finished off my first ever animation - that is, the first one I've ever completed... There's...

With the impending release of the DVD/Blu-Ray, my attention has once again been turned back on to ‘IT’. Personally, I hated it. I felt that the CGI was awful and the repetitive attempts at almost-identical jump scares got very boring, very quickly. Most reviews I’ve read seem to state the...

Check this out: http://bloody-disgusting.com/videos/3469411/video-horror-brunch-gory-80s-short-film-youve-never-seen/ Who do we think they're talking about here then?!?!? :) :thumbsup:

Just asking out of curiosity really, although this does stem from a conversation I had with a guy preparing to self distribute his own movie... How would you guys feel if you received a self distributed film and the packaging was substandard? What if the printing on the sleeve wasn't very good...

Just looking at on-camera microphones. The Rode Videomic Pro seems to be touted as the best option. Is there some reason NOT to use the NTG2 instead? Sure, you'd need an XLR to 3.5mm cable, plus a suitable shockmount, but all-in-all it would only set you back about £30 more. Then you'd have the...

I've had a look around and I think I know they answer to my question, but I'm curious to know if anybody here has any experience... If you make a video for YouTube reviewing a newly released film, can you use clips from said film within the review? I believe it should be okay, as it should be...

Simple question for you guys, particularly those of you on the other side of the pond... Do you know what “cling film” is? I’m just finishing off the final draft of a script. I’m English, as are my characters. Although I do have them speak using some English slang and colloquialisms, I have...

Hi all, Looking to get rid of my audio gear. It's all seen very little use, so is in excellent condition. Available is as follows: Tascam DR100mk2 Rode NTG1 (with WS6 windshield) Avantone CK-1 All are boxed and come complete with all accessories supplied as new. I'm open to offers on these...

I've recently decided to try my hand at claymation. You can see my first effort in THIS THREAD. I have ideas for a full series of comedy/horror parodies. The style of humor would be similar to something like Robot Chicken, or South Park. What I'm trying to decide is whether I should add bleeps...

Hi all. I've very recently taken up stop-motion animation, and I'd like to get some opinions on my first scene. It's taken from a Friday The 13th parody trailer I'm working on. There's no sound as of yet and a few elements still need to be composited in. Take a look and let me know what you...

So, I'm planning on returning to something I started doing quite some time ago... Making claymations! :yes: The sketches I plan to make would vary in length, perhaps 1-4 minutes long. I've got a number of sketches written and a number of ideas semi-fleshed out. They'd all be horror/comedy; some...

I'm guessing most people here will have seen this already, but I thought I'd share it anyway: So what does everybody think? I'll reserve my final judgement for when the film’s released, but I do think the design of Joker himself is going to be alienating for most fans. It’s a strange...

Hi all! I know this is a filmmaking forum, but I thought one of you guys may be able to help me out with a little computer problem I’m having (or should I say, have been having for quite some time!). I’m normally pretty good with computers, but for the life of me I can’t seem to solve this...

If anyone fancies a giggle, here's the new trailer for "The Human Centipede 3": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKSfPE7WGUI What I like about this is how meta it's gotten. It's set in the "real world", where THC and THC2 exist as movies. But THC2 was set in the "real world", where THC exists...

I want to take a shot at 30fps, then play it back at 25fps, in order to slow it just a little. That would mean I need to set my 30fps footage to play at 83.33333333333%. Fine. Got it. But when filming, are there any set ideas about what shutter speed to use? I assume I’d shoot for 180deg at the...

...But he’s ignoring ‘Alien 3’ and ‘Alien Resurrection’. Not sure how many of you saw this, but a few days ago, Neill Blomkamp announced via Twitter that he’s been signed to direct the next instalment in the Alien series. Now, in an interview, he’s stated that he’s working closely with...

It's official! Sony and Marvel have come to an agreement to get Spiderman in to the MCU! Apparently he'll first appear in Civil War (Captain America vs. Iron Man vs. Spiderman!), before getting his own movie in 2017. LINK I'm pretty excited for this. Hopefully with Kevin Feige behind the...

Has anybody been keeping an eye on “KILLCAST”? If not, take a look. There’s about 7 hours left. KILLCAST It’s an interesting idea. The “filmmaker” is running a 24hr live stream from his “killing room”. “Victims” are tortured and killed, live. You can watch and interact for free. You then have...

I came across this IndieGoGo campaign not too long back, and I thought I'd share it. It's pretty bad. I think there's a lot any filmmaker considering crowdfunding could learn from a campaign like this. They're asking for $4 million. $4 million!!! They're only $3,999,700 short of their goal...

Kind-of a pre-emptive question here, but I’m asking more out of curiosity... Presumably, the poster for any given movie is copyrighted / trade-marked, in much the same way as the movie itself. So, one would require permission to use that poster in their narrative work. Say, hanging the poster...
