    > The Budget Thread

    Hi. I produce a series with a 400k$ budget alone. My DOP helped organise the crew and also does a lot of the post production work. So basically he is one of the two "most important" people in the production. Also he has worked for a good rate for the filming and the editing. What kind of profit...

    Poker Short - First Scripted Project

    Hi, this is our first scripted project. I would like to hear some feedback :) I did not pay enough attention to the sound, there is a noise... but overall I'm happy with the result, especially because it was shot with several actors and locations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5osT1Sl6MI

    Premiere CS6: Beginners questions

    I will look into it, thanks. I just edit a vlog to get used to the software. I will look into the multicam feature, thanks. I found this guy here for training videos (http://www.larryjordan.biz). Is it worth buying the subscription?

    Premiere CS6: Beginners questions

    Thanks to both of you. I'm a bit surprised that there is no option to delete and ripple delete in one step, my old editing software did that with CTRL+del, I used that a lot.

    Premiere CS6: Beginners questions

    I am new to premiere, so I might have basic mistakes in my thought process, please tell me if there is an easier way. So I have 2 video and 2 audio files from the 2 cameras. I dragged both videos in the timeline, clicked on the razor tool and cut a bit from the beginning of 1 of the videos so...

    no 25fps available, shoot in 50fps?

    Hello, I want to change my videos from 1080p to 720p because its quicker to edit and upload. Usually I shoot in PAL 25fps, now with my camera I can only choose 50fps. I don't want quality loss, but I'm pretty sure that I can just shoot in 50fps and my editing program scales it down to 25? But...

    Which prime lenses should I buy?

    I think I will wait for the Canon Cine Primes, is there an estimate how much they will approx cost? I think I will shoot my series in 1080p but will use the lenses for later projects as well, in 2 years 4k is prob standard :) or is the picture better with the cinema cameras...

    Follow focus

    Thanks. I think I will go with RedRock first, the guys in my book use it as well. I just can't find it on amazon.co.uk. I need a matte box as well, so maybe it's better to get all in one...

    Follow focus

    What do you need a follow focus for? I understand that you can switch the focus between several objects in a shot. Is there any other useful thing you can do with it? What separates a good from a bad follow focus? Have you got some recommendations for a good one? Is it even useful to spend...

    Which prime lenses should I buy?

    I own a 5d mark iii and some of the better Canon lenses like the 50mm f1.2, 24-70mm f2.8 and 70-200mm f2.8. I want to shoot an online series (comedy/action) in a year, so I want to get a set of prime lens. I read in a book that they recommend Leica R and cine (I don't have the book here but what...

    Viewfinder vs external screen

    I have used neither. I understand that you use both for previewing your picture? So why should you prefer a viewfinder to an external screen? I just started shooting scripted videos, what do you think is recommended/necessary? I sometimes had troubles with focusing and just realized it when...

    DSLR around $500?

    The budged seems very low. I would go for a Canon T2i as it has the same sensor as the T4i. The Lens depend on what you want to shoot, I would maybe to for a f1.8 50mm Canon, but you should also get a zoom lens. Sound is more important than you think in the beginning, I would invest a bit...

    Hello from a German in Brighton, UK

    Hello, I just started film making very recently and have a lot of projects in my head. So many, that I think I can make it my main occupation within one or two years. I'm shooting on DSLR Cameras, Canon 5dm3 and T4i, with Canon Lens ATM, but will probably upgrade to Leica soon. To find out if...
