So I need to buy a birthday present for tomorrow. This is for someone who has relatively recently taken up editing. They're using some cheap package on a Windows machine and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for something really simple for them. As I edit professionally, I...

Hello All! I've seven, feature screenplays and reached the stage where I have two that are decent. One has an excellent story but the writing needs to be tightened while a second has better writing and an interesting overall story but there need to be a load of structural changes. I've also...

So... I'm now a professional film maker (yay!) with a small, corporate customer list. I'm marketing like crazy, am enjoying every minute of it, have made more money than I thought I would, although I wasn't very optimistic but still have this crazy, creative streak in me. One thing I've always...

So... I'm going on a shoot where I'm using a Sound Devices mixer, MKH416 and then the following: - Mixer to camera (C500) XLR input. Eventually ends up in a 7Q+ - Mixer to Zoom H5N (think it's an H5) Now the issue is I've been told someone's going to be providing a lav... I personally have...

1. Integrity. 2. Peace of Mind (I am imagining a calm sea with the sun setting 3. Quality? What would you put up on the screen, separately for each of these words / phrases?

How do you do it? What techniques do you personally use to create jumps?

Hiya y'all In the wake of the whole Harvey Weinstein tsunami, we thought we'd shoot a little something. Need a critique, please before we finish it off. There are clearly some things not right but need an overall idea plus any criticism, please. Thanks in advance https://vimeo.com/215383294

Have a customer who wants to portray a model as cool, calm and collected. For music, he's thinking classical piano which plays to my strength because as an amateur, I won a music prize here and completely by accident, I ended up as an accompanist to the best violinist in Western Europe on a few...

So.... I took the plunge and became a professional film maker. This is now how I earn my living, pay the bills and if I starve to death, it'll be my fault for doing something so completely insane. My first corporate vid (branded content) is now on a website: www.HotSquash.com - This is womens...

What are the best sound blankets for low frequency noises? Traffic etc...? I know that nothing would be as good as a soundproofed room but if I need to do something on the fly near a busy road, I want to make as much of a dent in that low frequency noise as possible (in addition to all the...

So I was listening to the Rode wireless lavs and comparing with the G3. The G3 has way better sound (£300 vs £600) but I wanted to ask if it was the mic or data transmission issue. Specifically, if I buy the Rode gear and later on down the line upgrade the mics, will this make a significant...

So goodbye EU, it was nice knowing you. We had a good time together but now the divorce lawyers are out in force and we'll have to fight over the kids. As one of the first ever Erasmus students (top scholarship program for Europeans who speak a couple or more languages) and someone who always...

I understand tax repayments in a 'normal' world but really struggle to understand how it works in 'film world.' In particular, I'd like to understand how it works in different countries. Is there a website with a really, simple explanation?
