    Assembling a feature from a series of shorts?

    One of my favorite films, It's Such A Beautiful Day is actually made up of three shorts that tell a continued story. But yeah, personally I love the idea. Artistically, it's also great practice working on a bunch of separate projects that follow a connected thread. Seems like a great way to...

    How to do a long, destructive, follow shot?

    I'm currently in preproduction for a short film which involves a long shot that follows the main character entering a house, chasing a person armed with a wooden 2x4 through said house, and destroying a fair amount of stuff (tables, shelves, pictures etc) along the way. I'm trying to figure...

    Wierd DVD Problem

    Thanks for responding! Well, seeing as the audio delay is also heard when playing the DVD on the computer, I don't think that's the problem. It's a MOV.
