if you are going to buy a small sensor 3ccd camera, make sure it can work with the Red Rock M2. All features are secondary to depth of field control.

Hey, noticed you were from Winnipeg. I'm also in the area and will have some small scale productions up and running sometime in the new year. What part of the spectrum do you fall under? I come from a still photography background so my forte is mostly lighting and camera work. The production...

I wouldn't do one about anybody alive or dead with a sizable estate. it's not illegal intrinsically but there is no reason they couldn't sue you.

I'd say unless you are doing it for artistic style there is practically no reason to use film anymore. I mean you might find some extremely cheap 35mm stuff as everybody is getting rid of theirs but I don't see any reason to invest in a new film system other then you want to have some unique...

I have a couple thousand words written simply outlining the concept, plot and characters. I am just having trouble balancing interesting dialog and plot progression. I'm more of a prose writer and a lot of the stuff I love to write is exposition. I try to make characters real and give readers...

Actually I take back the Cali,New York statement in regards to movies. I'm from winnipeg and they actually do shoot movies here fairly often. Canada actually has a pretty decent movie scene, but fictional television production is basically none existent across the country. I think my passion is...

I'm not saying my system will be better, I'm just saying that all the effort that would be required to find a place in the Hollywood style system I might as well spend that effort trying to start a new production studio. Distribution is the only real force that keeps Hollywood in control, with...

close up angle of hands typing Doug types out quickly and furiously "I just don't see what the big deal is" obviously picking up a conversation from before, Doug slaps enter. close up of open messenger window Messenger Window shows the typed text of doug and after a second displays "Katie is...

Did some pre production photos with my brother, just to get a feeling for how i want to final product to look. I'm aimming at creating an experimental film that explores the possibilities of dramatic instant messenger conversation. I have been working on how to work the point of view to give the...

I feel sorry for Hollywood writers, now that I read so much of what they have to do seems geared towards training themselves to operate appropriately within the Hollywood system. I think I'll just start my own production company, seems like a lot less work.

sweet, thanks.

Just get little closest lights, those round ones you push the top on, they are about the size of a hockey puck. You can put some sticky tape on them and put them whereever you want. They are like 5-10 bucks a pop so you can buy a ton. Need some light on a ceiling? slap five of them up on the...

my biggest constraint with small rooms is not the lighting but simply their is not enough room for the lens I want to use. The problem with small rooms is you always end up having to shoot wider then you would like, and often times lower then you would like. see like Directorik, wouldn't it be...

why is it in a small room if you want the background completely dark? just film it outside at night lol always works for me. Put a table in the backyard bring in some bright lights, set the exposure to the lights and everything the lights don't touch will be dark. of course you couldn't show the...

Hey, I'm trying to write a pilot and possibly a season for a sitcom style comedy, but there is a lot I don't know about how the basic formula works, what scenes go where, how does the plot progressions normally go, how short can I make it, etc. So basically I'm just asking if anybody knows of...
