Hey! I just saw a review for your short "Faith Healer..." on Film Threat. You got 3 stars! And the review said ... "shows the skills of a competent filmmaker. ... it is constructed well and the story actually affects a change in Howie, which is not often seen in films (independent or otherwise)...

Hey Poke, Thanks for your comments. Trust me there's a lot more to the movie than that. I tried to keep it down to show less shooting stuff, but it didn't seem like people liked it that much without it. Also, depending on when you watched it yesterday, it might sound a little better. I uploaded...

Hey Spite, Thanks for the comments and compliments (this time. :D ) I plan to do more work to it soon. I also took you guys advise and I'm seriously trying to see if I can "paint the walls". I figured out a menthod, but right now it's muting the colors of the actors. So I'm trying to come up...

Thanks for all of those who commented. I just uploaded a new trailer to the website. I think it's a little better than the last one. I took your comments and did my best to come up with something more "eye catching". I hope you like it. I plan to do a few more minor tweaks to it, if everyone...

Thanks for the feeback so far guys! I plan to start beefing up the trailer today. I think it may be best to have "words" thought out the whole trailer instead of placing it in the "two part" format. The feature is about done. I only have some small items to add into the stream of the movie to...

Thanks Spite. I plan on working on and off with the trailer over the next few whatever. This film is more of a drama. There's not much action at all, until the end. So I don't have too much footage really to play with, without giving everything away. I know what you mean about the white walls...

First I would like to invite everyone to my website for my feature at http://www.bottommovie.com . There you can see my trailer by downloading the quicktime trailer. I should have the other link up soon. (As for my problem... I found a solution. :D ) Enjoy the site and the trailer. Feedback...

I noticed the discussion below about demo reels. I have a question in reguard to these. As my movie is finishing up over the next few days (not weeks, thank goodness), I've thought about submitting a few scenes to some agents along with the trailer. Which as many of you state would be about 5...

Congrats! I went out and read a few of the articles written about the film. Good Work! I'm extremely happy for you, and you are right you are inspiration to us all. Thanks for sharing your success to keep that glimmer of hope in our eyes. :D pika

Overall, I think you did a good job. I liked it. I thought it was fun and definately showed a style all your own (which is importaint to me). I don't have any major comments because I think overall it was done well for the short I think you were trying to do. pika

I think what happens to Big Studios is what happens to many people in other indstry as well (Music, Painting, Photography, etc). I feel like when people are struggling, they have creativity that abounds because they do no thave access to things. Their stories are more fun, better written, etc...

Hey Smile, I have to agree with Poke. I went out to the site to check out your work and could not find a trailer or anything. It was also difficult for me to navigate. I finally just gave up. pika

Hey Spite. I haven't done anything that you have seen as of yet?! hahaha I've only been in ATL for about 2 and 1/2 years. I shot my first movie in college and I wasn't able to do anything for a while because... well no resources, no actors, no crew, no cameras, no nothing. That's why I moved to...

Be personally honest with you... I can't see it! What's your compressor? What software are you using to compress? Unfortunately (I hate to say this) It'd probably be esier if you made a Quicktime (.mov) file and placed it on your site. (I said it.. there I hope you Mac Folks are happy!)...

Well, I guess for me in a way I have it easy. After my first stint, I told myself I'd never have bad actors again. And I actually dropped two projects because the actors were not good or were not commited. So that should tell you that if I were in your shoes I'd go for "real actors". Also you...

Well, Poke That's what I had. 40 folks who wanted to try their hand at filmmaking, but didn't knwo anything about it. I speant half of my time "setting them up!" hahaha Like they were lights or props. Then they would ask questions like "Is it okay, if I see the microphone?" and the person is a...

Hey Sursum, I know you're not makign excuses. But I know we're all out here doing it so I'm like, forget it. In fact with my last piece, I would still opt to have a small crew even if I had money. The biggest problems I had were with sound and lighting. I think I could probably do a better job...

I use After Effects for my "film look" but I must admit I started out with a DVX100 which looks more like film from scratch than anything else. But in AE, you can work an image just like you do in photoshop, adjusting curves, gamma, adding multilayers for differences in luminosity, etc. It...

Hey Pokewow, I say get good actors period, if you can. I mean if you are in a bad city for acting or movie production, you might need to think about moving. I'm originally from Memphis, TN, then I moved to Alabama, then I moved to Cincinnati, OH and now I'm in Atlanta, GA. For the first time in...

Sursum! Hey! How are you. Thanks for the words of encouragement on my upcoming movie. Also I wanted to tell you something. With my film I did 95% of the work. I had two other people helping me, but one did makeup and the other ran errands because I could not leave the set. Doing everything...
