I've been reading about different recording home studios and it seems everyone has a different opinion on best practices. Let me start of by saying I know nothing I can do at home will sound "great". I'm just looking for the best results for a house. For these questions, assume when I am...

I've heard that the only difference between the two is that the DR-60DmkII has a better pre-amp. I can't find anything that shows how much better the pre-amp is or if it's worth it. I do not currently have a recorder and I have a Videomic Pro. I can find the DR-60D on Ebay for ~$120 and the...

I did it! I completed my first stab at making a creative video and also my first experience using Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Skyrim mods. Link: http://youtu.be/icoCqQUI6HU The goal was to create a Microsoft Xbox Kinect like commercial that advertises a new feature, which allows users to...

This might be a long shot, but does anyone natively speak German that would say a couple of lines for free? Or at least sound native to Americans? If not, does anyone recommend where I could find a German actor with a good mic? I've thought of fiverr, but they aren't really actors.

Does anyone have any experience with making a trailer from the start with no intentions of filming the rest of the short? I'm interested in how a screenplay, the amount of locations, how much time it took, and generally how you planned the trailer out. If not, does anyone think you could save...

I just want to start off by saying that I'm a complete lighting noob. I have been reading a lot about lighting lately and I was wondering if you guys would mind commenting on a few different lighting setups. I am going to give my noob analysis (guesses) on how these were set up. These were all...

I'm making a short where I have having a discussion with AI that is on a computer screen. Normally when two characters are talking, you would do an over the shoulder shot of who is talking. Can I still achieve this same technique when I am talking to the TV/robot? I want the audience to have a...

I live in Rogers, AR. It doesn't seem like there is much of a film scene here. Is there anyone in the Fayetteville/Ozark area at all?

I'm looking at buying a Datacolor Spyder to calibrate my monitor, and I'm wondering if those calibration settings are stored on my computer or on the actual monitor itself. The reason I ask is I'm wondering if when I plug my camera directly in to my camera, will it keep all of my color...

I've been searching the internet/these forums/youtube trying to find the answer, but I have had no success. I assume it is because I am not phrasing my question correctly. I'm wondering what are the techniques to record a TV/smartphone screen to get that real life sharp image. In other words...

I've never really watched many behind the scenes features in big budget films because they are usually geared towards your average movie goer and not towards people interested in film making. I just watched behind the scenes of Sin City and I enjoyed it more than most I have seen. So my...

About 6 months ago I thought of a funny (to me) commercial idea, so I bought some camera equipment (Canon t3i, lenses, boom mic, tripod, lights ect.) and read a couple books on filmmaking. As such, I began my journey of a new hobby of filmmaking. As I began filming my commercial, I got some...

I've been lurking the forums for a bit and made a few posts, so I suppose I shall make one of these hello threads. I'm new to filming and also new to the Arkansas area. Anyone here in the Fayetteville area? It seems like this place is a film ghost town. There is no reason for it, it's a great...

I am watching Breaking Bad for the first time. I am on about season 3 and there is this prostitute that was giving blowjobs to many different, professional looking males. I was wondering if any of you have any experience or knowledge of people getting fired from their "real" jobs because they...
