Hey everyone, I wanted to come and tell you guys about a project I'm involved with, The Great 48. It's a big project, and it's kinda crazy. But it's completely awesome, and full of filmmaking goodness. The project will result in 14 short films, a feature documentary about the indie film...

I recently made my second submission to a Poptent contest the other day. Criteria was that it had to be a short film with BACON having to do with the main theme. My team and I decided to go for a more experimental approach and do a one shot POV film in Black and White. I'm pretty happy with...

How do you guys go about submitting to festivals? I will be finishing a short narrative (I believe it will be around 10 min) in March this year... I would like to submit it to some festivals. I'm a student, so low to no entry fees would be best. Any suggestions or tips on looking??

Question for those who are a savy with electricity and powering solutions. I asked a while ago about shooting in a mall (For a mall Santa bit), my realization has been that it is extremely hard.. So I've moved on. I am now going to dress a small scale town (in a park play area) into a Santa...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5dYE5z21Zg&feature=g-upl Hey all, this is my first assignment for my advanced lighting class... we were told to perform match lighting to perform a believable composite. I think I did fairly well on the wide shot in there, but my CU is weaker.. Let me know...

Hey Guys (& possible gals), I'm beginning work on my senior thesis film, and trying to find a mall to shoot in. I'm having terrible luck! I'm in the Kansas City area. I've tried live malls, dead malls, and they have all said no so far. Even when I offered getting insurance and small...

Any suggestions on getting a mall to let me film inside at a Santa Claus display? :huh:

We made it in on time, and this is what we came up with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjwfNNEgEmg I wanted to get everyone's opinions/critique on how we did? :) Thanks!

While working at Dunkin Donuts the other day I noticed that our monitor, to tell us what coffees to make, was mounted to the wall by an isostatic wall mount... So I pose the question. Would this isostatic wall mount work for a steadicam vest isostatic arm? I think it would in theory... I...

Just thought I would share that yesterday I went out to a local Salvation Army. I was looking around for some random things, when I got to the counter (where they keep the more expensive small goodies *i.e. CAMERAS!) I decided to take a look at what they had. Here's what I ended up walking...

Has anyone used Zeiss compact primes? Does anyone here own any? Would it be worth it for me (I wish to work camera dept.) to invest in some compact primes? As of now I have a Canon 7D, but I do plan to upgrade to something such as the AF-100 or similar. What are your opinions/experiences?

I have a question for others who use vintage lenses. I bought a little package off ebay (old film camera, aus jena 50mm, bushnell 28mm, and vivitar 85-205) for around $60. They're all older lenses, and M42 mount. I got an adapter and have been using them, etc. My question - Do all vintage...

A friend of mine and I have an argument going on about audio. I have been telling him you will get better audio from a mic hooked up to a field recorder versus hooking it up to a camera. Can I get some input from you all? (and hopefully Uncle Bob?) THANKS! :P

I know there is a ML function for the 5D ii, 60D, etc. But how would I compose for the 2.35:1 ratio in camera on a 7D?

A few weeks ago, I came across a Shel Silverstein poem (called "Masks") online. For those who don't know it, it goes like this: She had blue skin So did he He kept it hid and so did she they searched for blue their whole life through then it passed right by - and they never knew. I came up...

Hi everyone. I own a Canon 5D Mk II. I'm thinking of selling it, and using the money towards a Canon 7D setup. Here's why: -I have no lens (I am lucky enough to have a photographer girlfriend who is so kind as to loan me hers) if I do this, I could use left over money for a lens or 2...

http://www.poptent.net/media/48405 I had some actors bail the day of the shoot and an actor actually leave from set. But I pushed through and created this. Opinions? Critique?

Hey everyone, I just made my first demo reel. I would like to get your opinion on what works and what doesn't. I was trying to showcase my camera work and editing... so if you could tell me if that is working or not, that would be great :P Michael Rogers Demo Reel I look forward to your...
