I've had three very close friends commit suicide over the years. These are guys I've grown up with my whole life, who for one reason or another just couldn't see their way out of whatever situation they were in. The best thing to do is to talk with a professional and see what the root cause of...

MT, as Cameron said, B&H is outstanding for video/camera equipment...they are extremely reputable. I just got the GH2 with 14-140mm lens for $1100 with free shipping at B&H which is a steal. The lens itself is worth $600 easy if I wanted to sell it. I think it depends on what style of filmmaking...

Check out Requiem for a Dream....Labatique uses a fisheye in the party scene..its a quick scene with a fisheye and fast motion in an apartment....the best example I can think of.

If you get a chance check out a movie called Gomorrah by Matteo Garrone. He used a combination of experienced actors and total novices for his movie about the Camorra in Naples Italy. A few of the actors were real Camorra guys and got pinched and put in prison after the movie came out. He had a...

I live in Boston and that was a really sad story...just today another kid fell through a glass sunroof while hanging out on top of a building watching the Boston Marathon..he fell 5 stories through the middle of the building and lived, only because he hit every banister inside the building on...

Great thread. I use front firing blank guns since they look much more authentic than computer generated gunfire. Even using these, there are some very important safety guidelines to follow. Not only do they look and fire like real weapons, they can cause some serious injuries if used carelessly...

If you can get ahold of the Requiem for a Dream Director's Cut, there is some great commentary from the cinematographer...he talks about what lenses, filters, techniques, etc he used to create various moods in that film. Interesting since the film changes from a fun feel early on to a depressive...

Good Job, I'm Catholic as well. The only thing I would change is the text inserts like the person above mentioned..maybe something that fades in and out slowly, but doesn't fly onto the screen..maybe not so crisp either, but semi-transparent or something...I loved the line "do it yourself, I'm...

youtube clip Bender, here is a clip I put on youtube some time ago...disregard the crappy homemade dolly, it shook too much to really use, but you can get idea of the different shots the camera is capable of..I did this without any plan, just pretty much messing around with it. No after effects...

hello Hi Bender, I have a Canon Vixia HV40..not sure what you use in Australia, is it PAL, then its probably the Legeria instead of Vixia..this uses miniDV tapes, which in my opinion is a better storage method and makes editing easier. They also do not get corrupted like the discs. I'm sure you...
