I wrote a sequence of 6 songs and because I was experimenting with 360 films I decided to use them as base for a film. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LjLRlHi4UU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LjLRlHi4UU If you watch it with the youtube app on a tablet or...

Some time ago there was a competition to make a video to be used at a live performance of "Cloudbusting" (a Kate Bush tribute band). They play this song live with a video as background. I made a video and I don't know if I may submit it or not to film festivals. Are copyright issues a problem...

"Morto Vivo" - a 15 song cycle turned into film - FINISHED! Back in 1992 I started working on a 15 song cycle that revolves around existencialism. By 1995 it was complete. In 2009 I thought about turning that music piece into a film and I am now working on the last song, so the film will be...

I recently messed up with a film festival. They selected one of my films as their top 3 and asked for a high quality version and I sent them the wrong film. The film they had selected was an older one, from a previous series. That film is narrated in Portuguese and I decided to give it another...

I'm working on a doc series and I finished the 1st chapter. It will take me 4-5 months to complete the series. I am submitting the 1st chapter to film festivals and I already got positive answers from 4 small festivals. I am still waiting for replies from some bigger ones, but I think that the...

I need to send a Blu-ray version of a film to a film festival. I have a 3D stereocopic film in mp4 format, side by side, 2048x768 (4:3). Anyone knows how do I create a Blu-ray version?

Hi there, I am working on a doc series about Lake Tanganyika and I have finished the 1st of 7 chapters. At the moment I am unable to have a clear view about what I did. Is this watchable? :) The main thing I'm trying to convey here is that no matter what species you belong, the most...

Hi there, It's my first time using crowdfunding. I'm doing a doc series about a fish species from Lake Tanganyika and I will intertwine the stories of other animals and people around the Lake. How the same problems are dealt with in each environment? I will be filming intensively from dawn...

Hi there. This is my reel based mostly on underwater animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI50DrE5zhk There's not many people working in this kind of environment (and there's no need for many) and since underwater scenes are 99% of what I do, I think I even treat above water scenes a...

I've never done it before, so I need some help, but does this make any sense? I edited the film in Premiere and it's going to be presented at a theatre next month, so I want to create a 5.1 mix. Voice goes 100% in the centre channel, right? But what about the soundtrack? Does it make any...

I had a film accepted for a documentary market. What exactly happens at these events? What's the best aproach to make the best use of it? Under what circumstances is it worth attending the event? I received also a list of the buyers that will be attending the market, with their emails and...

I submitted this film to NexTv WEB SERIES & INDIE FILM COMPETITION and right now I'm in 6th place. This is an hybrid documentary/fiction version of the 7 episode series. And I need your votes :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMUgGbM6D20 During the call-for-entries period of the NexTv WEB...

So, there's festivals, distributors, VOD, tv... In my case, I finished a 7 episode documentary series about a fish species from Lake Tanganyika and being new to this busness I'm not sure about the best strategy to approach distribution. There's a niche market, which is the people that have...

With so many nature docs being produced, I supposed there would be lots of festivals dedicated to this kind of films, but I could only find a handfull of them. How to find distribution for these films?

Hi. I made a 7 episode doc series about a fish from Lake Tanganyika. I think people who already like this kind of fish will like the documentary, but I'm unsure about it's appeal to another type of audience. (don't forget to turn the subtitles on on the little triangle at the bottom right...
