Hey everyone, I’ve been an Indietalker for a little over three years now, and I’ve had such a great community experience. While I’ve learned so much here, I still struggle to find film funding resources for my short film projects, so I’ve decided to launch a funding contest (found at...

Made a video of my dog the other day. https://vimeo.com/144295555

Just for projects going forward. Writing a short script right now and thinking about how to execute it. I have a scene where loud music is playing in a room. There are a few quick lines of dialogue exchanged. When the scene is actually shot, should the music be playing in the background since...

I'm sure some of you have seen this before-- it's pretty old. There's some awesome advice at the 13:46 mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSDR3w6-Kzw

Hey guys. Picked up a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and a lighting kit the other day and shot and edited together some test footage in the basement. Accidentally made a little story. https://vimeo.com/142414171 Check it out! It's ProRes 422. Not sure why, but the camera won't shoot RAW. I...

This. Edit: Some context. Lil Dicky is one of the biggest things in rap right now, and he got these locations for virtually nothing. http://totalfratmove.com/lil-dicky-balls-on-a-budget-makes-music-video-with-fetty-wap-and-rich-homie-quan-for-virtually-no-money/...

I just received my budget for the short film I've written, and it came out to about $78,000 for a three day shoot. Obviously the budget depends on many factors and varies from project to project, but is it usually in this type of range for a ten page script? I was thinking it'd be under...

I'm a student working at Lehigh University's Mountaintop Project this summer making a product/service based in Hip-hop, computer science, and entrepreneurship. Our first task was to make a music video in 24 hours, and we need to get at least 1,000 YouTube views and 200 Facebook likes by this...

Edit: Updated reel here-- http://vimeo.com/116123520 Hey everyone, So it's been a while since I've posted, but I thought I'd share my reel from the past year on the forum. (Some strong language) http://vimeo.com/108408415 I'll be upgrading my equipment (probably adding a gimbal stabilizer...

Hey guys, I watched a documentary called Official Rejection a few times this summer (wanted to show it to others, so I re-watched with them :lol:) and it made me wonder just how many people actually get into the "big" fests. I could probably peruse indietalk but thought that this topic might...

I'm getting an occasional white flicker when I export to 24p 1080p .mpeg using Premiere Elements. Any idea what causes this problem or how to fix it?

Initially posted this in a comment, but thought it might deserve its own thread: How long should I wait before following up with someone from the record company? I spoke with him on the phone regarding the master license and sent him an email a week ago, but have yet to hear back from him. I...

Anyone know any good mid/low-tier festivals to submit to? Not saying the film is terrible, but I want to submit my first short film to a festival and I know the likelihood of getting into a big fest is probably slim given the production value, limited pool of actors, and lack of experience all...

Anyone ever use Evan M. Greenspan clearance.com for music rights? I was thinking of going with the cheaper option of buying the label's contact information to purchase music rights for my short.

Hey, everyone. So I've been a member on indietalk since this past summer but have never really properly introduced myself. I'm currently a freshman undergrad studying English/Journalism with a minor in Computer Science at Lehigh Univeristy. I started out planning to combine computer engineering...

When shooting on DSLR in low light, is it best to leave the ISO so that the image is dark on camera and then brighten it in post production or raise the ISO so that the video image is brighter on the camera display? I've finished shooting my first short film but am curious about the proper...

During the first day of shooting, our boom operator/sound recorder didn't properly record the sound, so the audio files that should have been recorded that day at the same time as the video are nonexistent. I had the actors re-record their lines the next day, but some lines aren't recorded at...

I'm getting ahead of myself here as I haven't shot anything for my short yet :lol:, but I'd like to start seeing what my post-production options are. I'll be editing on a Lenovo Y500 laptop (Windows 8) with 16 GB RAM, Dual GeForce GT 650M graphics cards, core i7 2.4 GHz processor, 1TB HDD, and...

I'm trying to make my first short film this summer and was looking for some advice on the equipment I'll be using. I know the only real way to learn is through experience, but so far I've read Ric Viers' The Location Sound Bible and Christopher Kenworthy's Master Shots. I have a lot of...
