Do any of you guys have any speculations on what technique was used to generate the effect in this early short by Alex Proyas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufUBL3DoFyA

Hello, This is an experimental short film I made some months back. I guess it's alright for being edited in an afternoon, but the sound strikes me as being cringe-worthy now, as well as a few other things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldaJ_4kY71A

Hello, I made something called "A Cycle of Misery," utilizing a means of video production that is in decline today - machinima. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWJpMs4m5ho At thirty-one minutes, it's something of an epic (in the world of machinima, that is)...

I would appreciate any information on what you could consider to be "budget-friendly" means of getting footage shot on 16mm into the computer for editing on, say, Final Cut Pro (this is with audio sync-up for dialogue and other necessary sounds in mind).

Does anyone know of any good analog tape recorders with timecode compatibility? (This is to match the audio to the video in Telecine for a 16mm-shot film)

The main camera that I hold at my disposal is a rather "vintage" one from the 1990s: an old Sony DCR TR-7000 camcorder that records to Hi-8 tapes. We've tried hooking it up to my Mac mini via a Firewire cable in an attempt to get some footage that I've shot into iMovie, however the computer...

Does anyone know if it's possible to write a screenplay for the screenplay's sake only, and get it published like you would a book? This is in the same context as George Bernard Shaw or Tennessee Williams, who often wrote plays without any interest in getting the play itself done.

I know that you aren't supposed to use musical direction in spec scripts, however I was wondering if it would be acceptable to name a song if a character puts on a musical record in the story. Quick example - Bob takes a record and puts it on the record player - it's "These Eyes" by Guess Who...

Hello, Currently I am in the process of writing a feature-length screenplay. Although I am not done with it yet, I have had a growing feeling that I should begin to look into formats for shooting my movie in. Therefore, I was wondering if anyone could tell me which medium they prefer to shoot...

Hello everyone, I think this is most likely the textbook definition of a noob question, but regardless, I am 106 pages into my screenplay and unfamiliar with the nature of drafting, and therefore I feel that I should ask. So as I said, I am 106 pages into my first draft, and I'm estimating...

I was wondering if anyone on here has a favorite camera to use for making low-budget movies - a camera that they could recommend. Right now for my own project I'm set to do, I'm leaning towards the Panasonic AG-AF100. As a side note, does anyone have any experience with the AF100?

This is a short subject, part narrative, part experimental. Tell me what you think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLqq81cZ__8

I'm on quite a tight budget for the feature I plan on making (I'm shooting it on High8 cassettes using a camcorder from the 90s...yeah) and so I'd like to see if there are any cheap options for boom mics. I was thinking about taking a microphone and just taping it to a broom, but my microphone...

I'm going to be making my first feature soon, however I'd like to get a few questions taken care of beforehand. First of all, let me just start out by saying that I plan on distributing my film, probably something through New Video Group. I was wondering if I copyright my film beforehand, or if...

I was wondering if anyone here could tell me how, after I make a film, to store the footage somewhere. Obviously a feature film takes up quite a bit of space, and it would definitely be crowded on your average home hard-drive. What does anyone here do? Also, as a second question, what is the...

The indie film I'm writing will be on a microscopic budget, however I plan for there to be a substantial amount of shootouts. Does anyone know how I could get a hold of cheap squibs, or just make them on my own?

Here's a surrealist/experimental film that I recently shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXWdZnCTHF0 Tell me what you think.

I was wondering if anybody on here has had experience shooting either an indie short or feature on a home-grade camcorder. Mine is an old Sony camcorder from the 1990s that runs on High 8 tapes, just so you know the kind of camera I'm talking about. I'm seriously thinking about doing the 48 hour...

This is probably going to sound like a stupid question, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me how filmmakers get different shots with a single-cam set-up with in a scene with dialogue, and the dialogue still being able to run smoothly. I'm not sure there's any other way I can put it.

I plan on making a heavily low-budget feature in the future, and because of it's noirish style, I need to shoot it black-and-white on some sort of film. I was thinking 16 mm, but I've recently heard some things about how that's expensive. Any recommendations of what sort of wallet-friendly film...
