I'm looking for Raw Footage to practice editing with. Does anyone by chance know where I could perhaps find some to maybe edit together a sequence? I'm looking to edit footage to gain more experience editing.

Cannibal Holocaust is a movie about a documentary crew who go to find some indigenous tribes people and shoot a documentary. It is not really a documentary but you sort've believe what you are seeing is real, It's kind of disgusting but the director shot the movie fantastic. So fantastic one...

Alright so I did a little digging around and I did some research on this place. From what I gathered it's an apprentice program and I'd be paying close to $9,000 for a job. Also their mentor list as they called it was not that impressive. I also didn't like the main guy Brian Kraft's attitude...

I was researching film schools cause I'm going to be graduating Highcshool in 2014. I came across this school or program called the Film Connection. It says that Film schools don't work and that You shouldn't go to one. I don't really know what to make of it. I just wanna know if anyone has ever...

Okay I think I understand now. If I wanna get work in a post production like working for television or at a post production place for a feature film then I will most likely have to use what they are using. I'm gonna stick to the system I'm using now. All I'm doing is making my own movies now to...

I guess I'll just stick with Lightworks then..... Been using it for a good 2 years and it feels comfortable. I have a pretty good setup and I don't want to change it. Maybe In time it will change but for now I'll stick with what I got. I do have one question though when it comes to different...

Thats the question I impose to you. Does the editing system in which you edit on really matter when it comes to getting a job in the film industry? I'm a Lightworks editor and I don't think they're that many of us out there. I worked with Final Cut Pro 7, Premiere and even got to try Avid once...

Well I think I have come up with A pretty good name for my Production name. I decided to call my production company The Whiskey Mystic. I think it sounds kind've mysterious like what do they make or something. Makes you wonder. I came up with it while listening to The Doors. Well I'll tell you...

How do you come up with a name for a production company? Like I'm thinking of creating one like a youtube page to house my content and I figured It'd be like my production label if that makes sense. When coming up with the name does it have to have productions at the end or studios? Like am I...

I found this a little while ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwJk2dJidMQ It's the making of Ghost Rider 2, and from what I can see both the directors are very camera oriented. One of the directors goes on roller blades with the camera to capture the action. I find this to be really interesting.

What about borrowing something from another movie? Like you take something from a film and then implement it into your own movie. Is that bad? What if you take something from a movie and change it around to make it your own like give it a different take or take an effect one step further.

Like this scene. The scene were Tommy shoots spider. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4VxewepbYk Watch Ray Liotta. You see him get up to help spider and then he is back sitting down and then he is seen helping spider again. He then helps carry spider out but is then seen sitting back at the...

Pitch is a good one about pitching a script.

I was watching Goodfellas and I noticed something rather odd that I never noticed before until now. It was the Steadicam scene where Henry and Karen were going to a restaurant and they go through the kitchen. It seemed to me that they went in a circle...

Life inspires me. If I take a walk or a car ride I always notice something that would stick out and go together like a good sequence in a film. Music also inspires me like a specific song would work in a scene in my head.

Another Question Is it also bad to borrow from other things? Like I'm a big Music fan and when I see sometimes like a cool album cover I think certain things of it would look good on a poster such as the Font or the overall photography of the cover. Like this I feel like I'm not using my...

You live in Texas right? You should go location scouting. Just take a walk around your town and you'll notice places that will connect with you of where you want to shoot. Even when taking a ride in a car with your parents you could look out the window and notice things. I carry around my pocket...

My favorite book on filmmaking is What they don't teach you in Film School by Camille Landau and Tiare White. I think It's a good book, also how i found out about Dan Mirvish and his film Omaha. It gives you I think 161 strategies I think it is on how to make a movie. I don't know if thats the...

I liked your Short Fallen the cutting back and forth between the girl and the boy in the water was nicely done but where did you get that snake? Was that a family pet or something? I liked it especially the ending. I also watched your Parkour action film intro it was good but i do have one...

Does Hollywood still use this technique to create titles, I know there is digital titling but do some people still prefer to use the old way?
