So I have a t3i and bought a cheap gemini 28 prime off my friend. He gave me an adapter that works on another 50 prime minolta that he gave me, but can't seem to get the adapter to catch on the 28. I've been looking for an adapter online for the 28 but can't find anything. What should I do?

So I am looking to film on a certain location. and a lady gave me a form I need to fill out, and I told her it was a student film for non-commercial use, so I'm getting to use the location free of charge. So I filled out the form and at the end it says I will need a certificate of insurance...

Not that I mind helping someone out, because everyone has to start from somewhere. I get that. But imo it's not that he's not willing to people's suggestions. But he acts like he already knows everything. I was the DP, cameraman and editor on a recent project and have been making films for a...

How long do you usually wait between casting call postings and the actual audition day? I have mine scheduled for the 27th of July and started posting casting calls yesterday. I might move it up because it seems really far away

I'm just curious if actors will actually show up to an audition if you say no pay. I mean I know they probably will either way, but it seems like there would be a lot more if you say there is pay. Is it really a hit or miss type of thing if the concept is interesting enough though?

I scouted a little today and found the perfect location. It's literally across the street from my old house so I know the area really well. It's like a park that goes back for like 200 Acres, and from my understanding the park is public because I see people playing around do whatever in there...

I just got my first official short film with my new camera under my belt and now I'm trying to come up with a title for my next one. I really really really want it to be a Western, with hints of Spaghetti Western flavor in it. I can see in my head a black and white movie, with very grainy and...

Just a simple question. What's the most effective way to go about applying for production companies. I feel like I could get in somewhere as a PA, but don't really know how to go about asking that. Considering they would only need PA's for certain projects here and there. I just want to find a...

As of a few days ago when I would upload a regular 16:9 video it would upload properly, fill out the screen and everything. Now when I go to upload a video today with the SAME EXACT SETTINGS it squeezes the video for some weird reason. They must have changed something over there in Youtube...

I'm using Sony Vegas Movie studio 11 and the feel for one of my upcoming films is supposed to be very gritty/grainy old school black and white type look. I was wondering if there was a trick I could use in the EQ to make it sound like it was recorded via analog. With all the popping noises and...

Ok so i've already written the screenplay and everything for it. I just need help coming up with a title. Nothing to straight forward is what I'm looking for. The premise is about a prescription drug addicted teenager & his spiritual journey in finding self worth and purpose. You later find out...

Just looking for an inexpensive cheap lighting kit. Anybody know any links they could point me to? Thanks!

It looks like it squeezed the right and left side together. It was a 16:9 originally so Idk why it would do that. Is it the file type. (.wmv) or is there a way to change it? https://vimeo.com/60971384

I want to apply for a company as a PA, but I just need some clarification on something. Would I be there officially for that certain company? or would they call me in, here and there when a project needs help? I want a full-time thing, but not sure how the PA's schedule works if their working...

This has no right or wrong answer. Just wondering if there's any great advice that can be passed along on the path to becoming a director? I'm a young guy, and my dream is to direct. I won't give up until my goal is reached, so I'm just wondering if there's any experiential knowledge that can be...

I'm probably going to get some better actors for next time. But my friends did a decent job lol. This film is really to build my resume/demo reel. The dolly is a home-made ghetto dolly, the tripod was a crappy cheapo and the camera kept falling off lmao. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLEj8CveKtI

I'm in the process of making a short film and the actors I have are just some friends or whatever. But the previous days of shooting I felt like I wasn't giving specific enough direction. Or maybe just too broad and it showed on screen. What tips would you give on directing people with really no...

I'm in the process of writing my first feature screenplay and have a couple questions, looking for advice/tips. 1. The budget I have to make my movie is very limited, so maybe 4-5 locations. I'm just wondering how you build a whole feature length movie off of that limited amount of locations...

Just a couple questions. For outdoor lighting, I don't really have anything I can use other than white board reflectors considering my budget. I mean I have lights but definitely nothing strong enough to be caught by the camera outside in daylight. My questions are: -What do you suggest as a...

Alright so before you watch a clip from my short, keep this in mind: -I shot and edited everything in the same day, so it's kind of a rough cut. Took a couple hours to edit -The acting is not the best, just my friends, so what can ya do. I need real actors lol -Literally no budget. Shot on a...
