    misc How do I show frustration?

    They're not real. It's the physical manifestation of the frustrations that occur in real life between two, different departments. My choice is to manifest this as two, different people experiencing frustration over the other's actions. Or simply a display of frustration.

    Ever had someone choke you out? I guarantee it's frustrating.

    misc How do I show frustration?

    So the two people aren't real. Instead, they represent two, different departments within a business. One of those departments regularly complains about the other.

    Completed Low Budget Feature Script: Benito the Blade

    Well there are filmmakers on here who've raised money for features. I've just raised financing for my first one although not in your genre. So DM me if that's the direction if you want to have a chat about it.

    Contracts 101 - How to avoid worthless "net profits"

    It's interesting because the investors we dealt with for the feature we sold are really cool about this stuff. Their attitude is if they can get a winning team together and keep it together, we can keep making money for them. But then again, we're super low budget so I guess it's easier for us...

    Contracts 101 - How to avoid worthless "net profits"

    Hence tranches. Tranches can be moved up and down and mimic profitability without getting into the issues around profitability calculations.

    Contracts 101 - How to avoid worthless "net profits"

    Everything's good but I disagree about associating any payments with net profits. The reason is as a lead producer on a feature where I've raised the money, I'm having the payments made to an SPV and my friends who are producers and shooting a movie in January are doing the same thing...

    misc How do I show frustration?

    That works (and also reminds me of my ex-wife). What would you do if there was no sound?

    I'm scared of her, now... Back to business. One person showing frustration with another quickly and easily.

    That's good. What about one person showing frustration with another?

    misc How do I show frustration?

    So I want to show frustration in max 5 - 10 seconds. Not 'tell' but 'show.' I was thinking of two people fighting in a dojo, one of them throwing the other and then being strangled. However, I'd love to know more ideas. What would you do?

    camera-dept Which mattebox for a zoom lens?

    So I'm trying to find a matte box for a 24 - 70 Canon 2.8 L lens. I do corporates for customers including the UK government, private companies etc... so I need it to look really good. The sliding matte boxes I know about are no longer made so I need an alternative. An alternative that looks...

    How did you manage to persuade the producers to raise money against that! The guys I know would run a mile if I used the words 'super 8!'

    directing How would you best spend 50K and free time to start a directing “career”?

    I took longer to do it but if I were to do it again and had $50k kicking around, this is what I'd do. I think 3 years and this budget is more than feasible. My journey took 7 years to become professional. But then again, I had a messy, expensive divorce to deal with which took all my time and...

    directing How would you best spend 50K and free time to start a directing “career”?

    I'm on this journey. I want to write, produce and direct. To get there, here's what I did: 1. Joined IndieTalk. 2. Went on other peoples' productions. Bought some sound gear and learned how to use it so I could be useful. 3. Shot my own shorts. Learned camera so I could shoot the stuff...

    Would anyone be available to help with criticising an edit?

    I've just shot a couple of ads for a customer. I'm new to this having only started filming professionally 3.5 years ago. So would love another set of eyes on this. For obvious reasons, I can't put an unfinished edit online... Would anyone be able to help by having a look at a couple of rough...
