Dear Indietalk After some years of no budget filmmaking, I've decided to make a proper, professional shortfilm with a budget. However having never done something with a professional crew, I've no clue how much the film is going to cost. I hope you can help me with some qualified guesses bearing...

I wasn't sure whether to post this in 'Narrative' or 'Other', but considering a film like "Koyaanisqatsi" is considered a narrative, I think this is a narrative too! As the title says I put this together from a recent 5-day trip to Shanghai, however I only had the opportunity to film for 4...

I've saved up money to finance two short films of mine. The first one has a finished script, lead actor and executive producer attached to the project. The executive producer got a hold of one of the major financial supporters to upcoming filmmakers in my country (Denmark), however I want to...

Dear IndieTalk, I'm strongly considering buying a used Movi M5 gimbal due to economical reasons. I honestly prefer to buy most of my stuff used if I feel it's relatively safe to do so. I'm buying M5 + Flightcase + 2x battery + mounting accessorie for screen/recorder + 7" android tablet (for...

Hello fellow indie filmmakers I'm making a portait of a CEO, and in one of the important shots his face is unfortunately pretty overexposed. It was recorded in 4k and slog-3 so there's a bit room for grading, but having barely any experience with colorgrading (I know I shouldn't go for slog-3...

A few months ago I trashed my 5 year old PC. It was old and rusty and could barely edit full HD. Then a few months ago I bought a pc intended to continually edit full HD. It has these specs: CPU: Intel Core i7-4790S CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz RAM: 8 GB GRAPHIC CARD: Intel HD Graphics 4600...

I'm working on my first screenplay. Not in the matter of potentially selling it, but merely as practice. The story revolves around a single protagonist and his experiences as a nightclub promoter in London. Therefore, I'm asking for people's recommendations for movies, where you primarily...

I'm curious, when is it considered stealing, when you apply a scenario onto your screenplay? I like to read stories and opinions online, and sometimes, like on Reddit for instance, people tell the most fascinating real life scenarios that have happened to them. Is it ok to apply those kind of...

I am an aspiring director and I'm looking for books that can expand my knowledge about life and human psychology. Anything ranging from Socrates to Dale Carnegie will do. I'm not asking for advice on books about filmmaking itself. The best director's always seem to have a fundamental...

Greetings, For my new shortfilm I've a scene, where a guy saves a bird he finds at the side of a road, which eventually defines him to become a doctor and save lives. However, I'm unsure about how this could be done on a no-budget film. I think it can be relatively to create the part of a...

Hi guys. "The Art Of Being Old" is my third production and a short documentary I made 1,5 years ago, when I was 19. I never got to post it here, since I was a bit too lazy to add subtitles, but I finally got myself together and here it is! It is a documentary featuring my lovely grandmom, and...

Hi guys Not long ago I got a Glidecam, however, I haven't really been using it yet. I bought it from a site like eBay, so I don't have the manual with me. I just got a very simple question: What do you use to connect the DSLR to the glidecam? I mean literally the plate that connects the DSLR...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTdulAOefBA My second music video. I made everything from filming, directing to editing. It was a no-budget music video shot in about 6 hours over two days. We had no preparation in regards of story-telling or planning besides the location. Shot with Canon 550D...

Hi guys So I recently bought a Canon 24-105mm f/4.0 lens for my Canon 550D, but the lens seems very dark. If I'm trying to shoot around 3 pm (it gets dark 5 pm here atm), it will still be very dark even though it isn't even night yet. The lens seems to require atleast 6400 ISO to shoot in...
