    Need some advice on locations, permits, permissions, etc.

    Ha, sorry didn't mean it like that, I just meant I'm so far removed from that aspect of it I'm not sure it would apply, but please if you have advice I'm all ears. On a side note I just got a call back from the film commission where I asked the question, "If I have footage I've shot at any...

    Need some advice on locations, permits, permissions, etc.

    Hey all, I've done a ton of searching (not just on this forum) and can't seem to find complete answers to some questions and was hoping you all could help. I'm in the middle of a short film that is a passion project for the people involved. I have contacted the local film office to see what...

    Take your soundtrack to the next level - professional music for indie budgets!

    So how much are your tracks to use in a short film? I looked on the site but didn't see it, but I'm on an ipad so that may be why, nice work btw.

    In the middle of my first short, need advice

    No insult taken at all, I asked for help and I appreciate it. I guess it is entirely possible I didn't coax it out, but I guess I feel like there is only so many times I can say "like this..." and get the same thing. Plus the weather was turning and I felt rushed to shoot, not to mention it...

    In the middle of my first short, need advice

    Hey everyone, I was hoping some of you could chime in and give me some advice. I've been doing video for YouTube for a long time but the last 6 months decided to get seriously into short film making. With that said it was a ton more work than I thought, even though I thought it would be a...

    Just got my first documentary, legal question (releases / logos etc.)

    Thanks guys. I got to thinking, I mean they have their logos plastered all over their website and are authorized dealer so I can't imagine it being an issue. I hate that we have to even worry about this stuff but oh well, thank the lawyers I guess. I'm thinking about just having a nice soft...

    Just got my first documentary, legal question (releases / logos etc.)

    1. Are talent releases required even though I'm interviewing the owners of the company about their company? 2. What about shots inside their store of guitars, drums, keyboards etc. that are products of companies like Fender, Marshall, Yamaha, etc. which they are an authorized dealer, am I...

    Just got my first documentary, legal question (releases / logos etc.)

    Hey all, So there is a really cool family run music shop with a very rich history in my town. I was in the shop talking to one of the owners and mentioned I'd love to do a documentary on them. They loved the idea and I have met with all the owners and the stories they tell are incredible...

    My First Narrative...Need Some Advice :(

    Thanks for the reply and the thoughts. I'm doing my best not to worry about it and just roll with it, I'm just worried about how it will turn out is all. Mostly I'm scared of being embarrassed I guess. As far as your question on motorbikes, here is an autobiographical documentary/short film...

    My First Narrative...Need Some Advice :(

    Hey all, So I'm in a bit of a pickle that is causing me a little stress and thought maybe I could work out a little of this anxiety with some of you guys by discussing it. For the last several years I've done mostly auto/motorcycle documentary stuff and I'm pretty good at that. I'm really...

    Does anyone else run into this lighting problem (noise in dark areas)

    Also I guess I'm trying to figure out, how do you shoot a "dark" scene, I mean if you always have the exposure up at 0 on the scale it will always be perfectly exposed right which will be bright. I guess I thought you were suppose to under expose stuff for a dark scene, like someone sitting...

    Does anyone else run into this lighting problem (noise in dark areas)

    I made a video of it, problem is YouTube's compression or whatever makes it even worse so not sure how accurate this will be but here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=657EKicJrtA Thanks for your reply I just want to make sure it is normal for my camera is all. I guess I thought...

    Does anyone else run into this lighting problem (noise in dark areas)

    Hey all, this is driving me crazy. I have a Canon 60D and if I light I scene, say a hallway for example, but the camera is slid from behind a wall to reveal that scene and I want that wall dark then I'm stuck with awful noise, or grain not sure which. I'm having trouble figuring out how to...

    Finally I think I might have it..."cinematic feel"

    I agree, I like that one best too. These were just still images that my wife took on a trip to Hawaii, I think she used a point and shoot, don't remember. I just used them b/c I got tired of doing it to actual video b/c of how long it took even for a short clip, this was a faster way to...

    Finally I think I might have it..."cinematic feel"

    I've been working forever it seems like on how to do post production editing to get that "look" and it has eluded me. Sometimes I feel like i'm close and other times not. Anyway something finally "clicked" tonight as I started to use tons of still shots as practice so I didn't have to render a...

    watch Pound Of Flesh - Short Film - Drama (2014)

    Very cool, just watched it. Can I ask in the rain scene at night was the camera getting hosed as well or were you protecting it in some way?
