Hey, I have an audio question. I think I know the answer, but hoped one of the audio guys would chime in. I've been looking at the Wooden Camera A Box Pocket (for my BMPCC) http://woodencamera.com/A-Box-Pocket.html Basically adds 2 XLR inputs, that plugs into the mic input of my camera...

Ok, I'm such a dork. No real reason I'm posting this. But, since I've preordered the BMD Pocket Camera, I've been teaching myself Resolve lite. Since learning Resolve, I decided to order an Avid Artist Color control panel. It just arrived, and can't wait to get home and hook it up. When I was...

I once saw, in another thread, a link to a website that was, good for buying scripts. Cant remember,which thread it was, to go back and get that link. Script writing is something I'd like to get more proficient at, and I'd like to find some to read. If anyone has a good site for getting...

23.98p or 24p? Was going to write a big long question, but the long and short, when do I use one over the other? Have search the web, read some older forum post and articles. I understand the history behind 23.98 and 29.97. I'm just still a bit foggy on when I would want to use one over the...

Seem to remember someone asking about recording gun sounds, not too long ago. Saw this recent Film Riot episode and thought was kind of cool. Figured I'd post here. Thought it gives a glimps at how difficult recording something like this is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoyzJjVEi7o

I've seen a couple threads over the last little bit, talking about projects shot entirely in first person POV. Came across these videos,and thought I'd post them. I thought they were interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http://QYm-dT24iRY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rgox84KE7iY

Since this is an area where we can talked about anything, I figured I'd see what everyone thinks. I loved season 1 of The Walking Dead. Thought each episode was intriguing. One of the appeals of the show, at least for me, was that I loved the practical special effects (zombie makeup), and I...

This might be a bit off for an Indie Film forum. I use a Mac. In the work I've begun doing, there are certain programs I need that aren't compatible with OSX. For the time being I'm going to bootcamp my Mac, and add a Windows partition (eventually I may build a dedicated PC). What I'd like...

There's been a little talk lately about sound, and I wanted to ask the resident sound guys (or anyone else who can help with this question). Hopefully next year ill be buying a new house, and will be turning a room into a dedicated studio. I don't necessarily mean studio, like production...

For years I've had a basic idea for a suspense/thriller/horror. It was based on a true event that happen not to far from where I live. This is a link to one article about the event, in case anyone is interested. Not necessary to read, to continue with this post. Only added it for the curious...

Not really an "indie film making" question, but thought I'd ask here. Is there a way to download a YouTube video, and edit it? My friend is putting together a presentation for one of his college classes. He's sent me links to about 5 youtube videos on the subject of his presentation. He has...

I started typing this question, and I started going into a big long exposé about what I know and don't know. But all that really was meaning less. What I'd like to ask, if I'm starting out building a basic lighting kit, for narrative film making, should I start out getting tungsten or daylight...

This is a nothing thread. I just needed a place to vent frustration. I figured I'd do it here, and maybe someone will tell me to cheer up, or even shut whiner. I run a business, worked 7 days last week (67 hours total). I worked 7 days because I had one employee out on vacation and someone...

I'm a new 60D owner. This is my first DSLR of any kind. I'm wondering, those that use the CineStyle profile for video, when you grade, do you take the footage and grade from there? Or do you use the S curve LUT, and LUT buddy plugin, and then tweak from there? Just curious how your grading...

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experiences with this company? http://www.dayflolighting.com/cm/chroma-key/chroma-key-studio-kits/hybrid-chromakey-kit/ I'm wanting to get a green screen kit. Would I be better off buying each piece individually, or can anyone recommend a kit they've had...

When I saw this trailer, at the point when they say "there's only 1 man who can get her out". I was expecting the answer to be Snake Plissken. Isn't this just Escape from New York/ LA? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLTOzu8N1Pg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Hey everyone. I'm a newbie, and I'm wanting to do a music video probono. I'm wondering where I might get a generic contract agreement, so that both the artist(s) and myself are covered, as far as usage of the final video? I'm just starting out, and with nothing but a bunch of equipment, and the...

Hey all, I wanted to ask about a microphone. I inherited this mic from some friends I edited a small promo video for, and since then, they have all moved out of the area. I was hoping some of the audio guys might comment on whether its worth keeping. I've spent a lot of time putting together...

Hey all, I was curious as to how many Indie Film makers here are interested in using computer effects in their productions. I have a big interest in using compositing programs (After Effects, 3ds Max, etc). My eventual goal isto film an Indie Action feature, using a mix of practical, and...

Ok, I've been lurking in the shadows around here for a while now. Thought I'd finally take the time to introduce myself. I'm Jeff, and I live in Nashville Tennessee. I've always had a passion for moviesp, and never cared much for watching sports (although I loved playing sports). To this day...
