Luz played a small role in my first film, Shades of Majenta [Jaz The Rapper - We Will Shine]. Here she stars in the song that played over the credits. ;) This was another one-man production. Happy to answer questions.

March 15, 7pm @ Wild Project, a small theater in the East Village, 195 E 3rd St (bet Aves A & B). Tickets: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe.c/11016301 If you can't make it, you can still watch it on youtube. Most festivals require the film be private, so I only submitted to a few that don't...

I posted this awhile ago but I still had much to learn. Studied harder, made big improvements all around, especially the mix on the song. It's now on Jaz's channel proper, and the song is available for download/streaming everywhere. I was blessed to work with such an amazing cast including...

My first film. :blush: Btw, where's the "Media section" around here?

I haven't eaten anything unusual, though there's always a possibility of random food poisoning. Or catching a virus. :shocked: But I wonder if it's the color grading. Previously, I did short spurts of grading along the way. In the 11th hour before publishing my film, I realized everything was...

I made a short film and music vid. Should I submit to film festivals or just post on youtube? Both? (Is that possible? Or do film festivals only accept things not yet published?) What would be the reasons for one vs the other? I tried googling some info, but all I get are results about youtube...

Google shows me flare effects. But I'm looking for something like what some smartphones can do now with stills. I did pickup shots of an outdoors scene that was originally sunny, but cloudy for the pickup shots. Any way to convincingly add sunlight coming from a certain direction? Or are we not...

A single shot will go from normal speed to slow motion, and vice versa. How's that done? If you shoot in 24fps, slowing it down wouldn't come out quite smooth. But shooting at a higher frame rate means that getting normal speed in a 24fps video would be skipping frames, right? Seems like a...

Setting is a traditional classroom, rows of individual desks. The teacher and a few kids have speaking roles, the others will laugh or taunt on cue. What's the ideal mic setup? Here's my current gear: 1 cardioid condenser 1 large diaphragm condenser, 3 pickup patterns (omni, cardioid, fig8) 1...

I don't mean you make a film and it fails financially or critically. I mean you put a huge effort into a film shoot and the footage sucks or you missed some key shots or the actors were off, etc. Anyone experience failure like that? Did you abandon the project? Abandon that particular scene...

I did a shoot the other day and one of the actors asked me to send her clips. I said it'll probably take me a long long time to edit. She said just send her her parts and she can edit them herself for her reel. Sounded weird to me. I dunno, is that normal? I was under the impression that actors...

Anyone get a permit to film in the subway? What was the process like, what was the scale of your project, and how much $$$ did they want?

Is there video editor that lets you *easily* move a 2:35:1 crop in a 16:9 picture? For example, in one part of a scene, I'm fine with the typical 2.35:1 crop; i.e., 131.5 pixels off the top, 131.5 pixels off the bottom. But in another part of the scene, I'd prefer, say, 200 pixels off the...

How do you go about setting up a shoot for a short film? Secure a set and specific day/time, and then find actors who can be there that day/time? Or get actors and then secure venue day/time around actors' schedules?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvTRZJ-4EyI 1:57-2:07 That's some cool cinematography.

nvm. Got the Speedmaster 25. Very impressed. Fwiw, at least on mine, the aperture rings continue opening all the way to the 0.95 mark. I saw some reviews saying they seemed to stop earlier and questioning whether it's really f/0.95.

Let's say the camera can record 60p max. Do you shoot 60p all the way through for smoothest movement, and then in editing slow down certain parts to 24p for slow-mo? Or do you shoot at 24p for regular parts, and 60p for parts intended to be slow-mo? Or both? Or neither?

"All digital camera sensors have a UV/IR filter in front of the sensor, so there is no more need to use UV filters on DSLRs." Source: https://photographylife.com/lens-filters-explained/ True or false? I don't see anything in the description or manual for the Lumix G85 about built-in UV/IR...

Howdy. :D Is there a wheeled tripod that locks the wheels parallel to each other so it can be moved in a straight line without a track? Preferably under $100. I could splurge a bit if necessary.
