    Movie Trailer Editing Assignment

    For a project I need to take a movie and make a trailer with it. My goal is to take a well known film and edit it to seem like it's a completely different story than it was originally made to be. Any thoughts or suggestions on which movie would be good and what I could turn it into? Thanks...

    What do all great filmmakers have in common?

    I understand the fact that a good picture does not in fact mean it has to be big. But my question is in regards to the BIG pictures.

    What do all great filmmakers have in common?

    Other than the obvious answer that they all have $$$. What work ethics do the great directors possess? What qualities other than (having connections) do all they have that allows them to make the big pictures? I understand the fact that a good picture does not in fact mean it has to be big. But...

    Filming a TV with a K-3 16mm

    You know how when you film a television screen digitally and there are lines running across it? Well basically I'm wondering if that effect will happen with a Krasnogrask 3, 16mm camera. I'm guessing no. But I figured I would double-check with you fine people. Thanks!

    Special and/or technical effects on 16 mm (k-3)

    Ahh, okay! Well I guess I will just try for the fade-in/out. And I do that by closing and and opening my aperture?

    Help with controlling a balloon

    Thanks for the great suggestions. I guess I am going to have to hope for a calm day wind-wise! Also, I have one more question. How do you achieve a fade-in/fade-out with a 16mm K-3? I'm guessing fade-in is to go all the way closed on my f-stop and opposite for fade-out?
