    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...

    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...

    crew How much does it cost in the US to film stuff?

    Let's say we wanted to film something in Connecticut. So how much would it cost for a single camera op (with a professional camera and some lights) and someone on sound for one day? I hear the prices are completely crazy in the US compared to the UK. Is this correct?

    So we're filming something where we want to get some shots but every time we ask for quotes for this, we're looking at £3,000 or more which is a serious chunk of change. So I thought I'd put this to the collective mind of the IndieTalkers and see what they come up with. The first shot is to go...

    producing Getting a UK producer

    So... we have a weird situation. We're pitching for production money and doing OK. We're the only people our funding source is talking to about a short, feature and series so if they pull the trigger, it's us or nothing. Specifically, we're raising money for a short to demonstrate we can do...

    music A bit Heath Robinson as sound recording setups go...

    So as a professional, corporate film maker, I have a good sound setup. Well, good for corporates! The setup is also good enough to shoot a very frugal feature film (currently in production). And thanks to a certain MLesemann for feedback. She's amazing! However, I have a crazy situation...
