Hey all, I'm actually moving into pre-prod on my first feature venture. Phew, still can't believe I'm giving it a shot haha. I'm incredibly excited, and with the story I've written, it requires a scene where two people are shot. My SFX editing skills after plenty of tutorials have yielded me...

Dear friends, I'm about to purchase a new camera (70d) with some glass. I have been wanting to add an 85mm lens to my collection for some time now and it's about time. Originally, I had my heart set on the Canon 85mm USM 1.8 lens but then found out it doesn't have stabilization. I shoot most of...

Hey guys, I've been on here for awhile, and done little action clips and stuff, but never tried making an actual short film with stories and plots and such. Until today at least. I was hoping to get some feedback from you guys on how you thought it was. I know the audio is terrible, it's...

My friends and I have wanted to shoot some action scenes for awhile now, and we know that using guns outdoors is the furthest thing from a good idea. But wanting to use guns in an action scene, and seeing how other YouTubers like FreddieW, and the like all have these outside places to use them...

As much as I love and have passion for filmmaking, Acting has always been my big thing. Being that I'm 18 now (yea a little late to start, but whatever), I really want to try to break in. I've had a hell of a time trying to find an agent, or legit work in the field, I don't care if it's free or...

I have finally been able to save up about $400 bucks, can go a smidgen higher if necessary, and I want to get the best lighting setup/kit or whatever I can. What do you recommend? I'm looking at the ones with barn doors and the soft boxes assuming I need both? Any help would be really...

I'm trying to get my best setup for lighting, and I was reading on some websites that the best way to go is with home depot work lights and clamps, but I also ready some people say that going used on pro grade equipment is better and pretty close to the same price. What would your ideal setup be...

What do you guys think looks better, and how do you do them? I personally look back to action classics like The Killer and Hardboiled, where they did all the squibs where they were, and then look at newer movies like The Expendables where it looks like it is all digital. I prefer the old...

I've seen it mentioned on here a lot that people are buying vintage lenses to cut costs on the unbelievably expensive current day lenses. So I have a question, if I wanted to buy them and put them on my Canon T3i, do I need an adapter of some kind or do they just fit? If so, which do I need...

I come to you guys seeking advice again. I can't figure out how to throw some stuff out of focus on the T3i. I want to achieve a shallow depth of field, and only want the actor to stay in focus on some shots. Thanks again for helping out!

Hi. Anyways, if you couldn't guess, my name is Brandon, I'm sure you thought it was Bill, and I'm a 17 year old high school student from the great toilet bowl State of New Jersey. I competed in Powerlifting for a few years, and studied martial arts in hope to someday become a...

I'm pretty new to the world of filmmaking, and I wanted to know, what lenses are like the must haves for making Indy films, and which ones are good to have and why. I'm just starting to learn about f stops and stuff, so to me a lot of it is still Chinese. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Hey IndieTalkers, I come to you in need of help. I am scraping together odds and ends to get the equipment I need to start working on some indie films. I currently have the Canon Rebel T3i camera, and I'm very happy with it, but I need something to get good audio, because as you all know, the...
