    When to use a tripod and when to use a camera stabilizer?

    It all depends on the story you are trying to tell. There are various tools available to a DP/Director and each has their own philosophy and ideas. Some directors move the camera all the time,like complex moves etc. some prefer exact opposite and rarely move camera. Some fall in-between those 2...

    watch 5 Tips To Improve Your Filmmaking Skills

    Great tips and thanks for the cool channel ;p One thing that I have to disagree on is watching movies without sound. Sound is so hyper important especially for directors,that you can't simply turn it off. Try Kubrick and you will destroy the majority of his films. The scene in Clockwork Orange...

    Financing a camera?

    But on a serious note,owning camera is not necessarily. Imagine you save up or w.e and buy RED. Than you are going to be stuck with it for all your projects. And what if a director who hires you wants the look of Alexa? Or 16mm or 35mm film? Or c100 for doc work? Are you going to buy lenses as...

    watch Scooter Animation

    The worst thing I have seen is Norman McLaren's tutorial on animation,where a poor girl had to reposition a paper cut out circle 1000 times! (correct me if I am wrong pls) in order to get super smooth motion. You can do it in 2 clicks nowadays. Sooooo painful to watch. But well done animation...

    How little money can you get away with?

    No way you get good crew by not feeding them. That is beyond acceptable. There is huge frustration from up and comers to do stuff for free,but on short narratives which never gonna sell,that's understandable. Not feeding crew is plain insulting.

    Question about sharpness and aliasing.

    Use magic lantern for "focus pulling". Sharpness all the way up will not look good on anything,except perhaps the lcd of the dslr. At least to my taste. Aliasing happens at the point of focus at certain patterns,i.e stripped shirt. You can avoid it by shifting focus but it is not always possible

    How do you find self motivate people to work with?

    Become friends with people, work on their sets and get contacts this way. If you don't pay people they can always bail if you just posted an add online and they replied. I don't think majority of crew members who work for free will need motivation,they will get involved to get a showreel or...

    Sad, but True Treatment Critique!

    Ok,so the usual no offence stuff, extreme subjectiveness etc. First and foremost change the title and delete it from your memory. I am not sure who would ever read/watch anything with such title. Another thing to take into consideration is "Her",I haven't seen it but I believe it is a movie...

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    "Citizen Kane" - Orson Welles Watched a 35mm print, invaluable experience! The film is packed with extra-ordinary storytelling techniques and adventurous cinematography. Some expositionary remarks by other characters made the film perhaps a bit less mysterious or maybe it is the time factor as...
