So my friend's have decided to start supporting me with my Film ambition and I need a camera to use instead of renting out a crappy camcorder from my college. I'm looking for something which although being fairly low in price will still do everything I need it to do. I'm thinking digital is the...

The McDay is from a nicname given to me by a friend. We were in PE/ Gym one day and he turns to me and says "George McF***ingDay", naturally after that I fell in love with the name. Mansel Productions comes from the name of the park me and my friends used to play football/soccer.

I'm doing the same at the moment man. Check out the UCAS website and do a search there, although a lot of the courses will be a mix of both production and general studies.

My Film Studies teacher told me today that he's entered this for a local competition. Although I'm glad he's entered me I'm not sure whether I have a chanve of doing well. Figured you guys might be interested to know one of your own is competing against other filmmakers.

I got to say man, a breakdancer with a black belt in Tai Kwon Doh is like the perfect villian. Yeah I'm facing that dilemma, the only one of my friends who I feel could do it was interested for a bit but then backed out as nerves got the better of him. No one else seems to be right for it even...

Hey Deus Ex Machina do you mind letting me know how you found the course please? I want to look in to it a bit more and your comments might be helpful.

Congrats ROC! I found it from searching "filmmaking froum" in to google, first one I checked out and after a brief time I was hooked and didn't even bother with any others. The great thing about it is how nice everyone is, I've been on other forums and it seemed like everyone was just waiting...

Thanks Cracker Funk, I will do. By all means I'm not unwilling, I'd love to be able to be more involved in any projects I partake in but not if it means soiling that project.

But wheatgrinder what if it's due to lack of talent in the acting department? I mean no one wants to see shoddy acting from the person dictating how the actors should be, it seems hypocritical. I mean sure if there is an extra or small role that needs filling then I'd happily take that, but...

If you intended to fund it purely on your own with no previous experience and an equally unexperienced crew I would say yes. Although the thought of making a feature as your first project does seem a little bit wild. Although I salute you and hope you let us see it when it's done.

THats very noble of you Nick, I shall be PMing you shortly.

I thought it was really good, although I'm not sure if it should be in narrative. Perhaps Music/ Commercials or maybe even Experimental.

Does anyone have any experience with this film school or this course in particular: The Met Film School? Will it be worth it for the experience, teaching, access to equipment and the supposed 'connections' I could make or would I be better off learning on my own? I prefer the thought of doing...

Well I intend to take it seriously, but with my friends I can't be too serious as that is what will make them take the piss. It's also that a lot of my friends would be really good for comedy, which I would do if the thought of it didn't terrify me. My friends working on a script, hopefully he's...

You have a point Dreadylocks. At the moment Nick it's my friends, but as I progress as a filmmaker it will start to be actors I don't actually know.

Hey man!

Do any of you find aproaching people who you want to cast in your projects a bit awkward? I'm feeling it at the moment as my friend dropped out of this short film I'm going to make and I am a little worried about asking people to be in it. Is there any helpful tips/ tricks too overcome this or...

Hey Johnny, us newbies will be running this site soon. ;)

Does this mean the Na'vi are going to be as famous as Paris Hilton?

Come on man don't think like that. Just try and find the best out of your backups and work with her too make her better. All hope is not lost. Just keep going.
