Hi everyone, I've just graduated university and have just finished my most up to date showreel. I would really appreciate any sort of feedback, shots to take out, etc. Thanks to anyone and everyone who has the time to do this! Showreel '14

thank you both, this is perfect!

Hi everyone, I'm looking at how to make a DIY snoot for a film shoot as I don't have access to one or the money to rent one (it's a student project). All the ones I can find talk about using cardboard/foam etc. to make one but I'm thinking that will just go up in flames after being attached...

Thanks, I spotted them but wasn't sure as the website looked a bit odd but thanks for the recommendation!

Hi everyone! I recently bought a super8 camera and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for where to get the film developed? I've found a few websites but it's hard to tell whether I'm being ripped off and the company will just send my film on, I've heard Germany have some good...

Thanks so much for all these, they've been so helpful!

Hi, I'm currently writing an essay on lighting and am having a hard time finding the books I want. I'm not looking for basic books that talk about 3-point lighting and hard/soft lights. I'm more interested in the psychology of lighting and how it works subconsciously. Thanks to anyone who can...

Okay, thanks for the advice! I've changed it around a bit and think it's a lot better, so thank you! :) As I'm still a student though I only have a limited amount of work so I'll just have to keep making more things and building a stronger showreel.

That's a Nikon D7000 with 35mm lens. Thanks, that means a lot, I might add in the production titles, what details would you put, just the title?

I posted a few weeks back in the newbies section about making a showreel and I finally got round to doing it. It's only a minute but if you have spare time, any thoughts/feedback on it would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance showreel

I hadn't thought about talc! I saw on the internet somewhere that someone suggested flour but I thought that was just ridiculous! Do you have the fan on whilst filming or do it right before the shot?

What would you suggest instead of music? Just sounds that go along with the film? madhatter - oh yeah, i thought video cv sounded a bit odd!

Hi there, I was looking into getting some work experience and thought it'd be a good idea to send them a video CV to show that I actually make films! Any advice on how to do this? e.g. length, song choice, sounds, etc. Any examples of anyones would be great as well!

What's the best alternative to a haze machine to creating a dusty room, I'm trying to create that morning fog kind of look but don't have a haze machine. Have any of you used smoke pellets before? How are they? are they worth trying? (just looking for the cheapest thing I can do). Thanks for...

awesome, thank you all so much this is so helpful!
