Hi there sound people, I'm preparing for a shoot on a (windy) beach and need to consider my options for sound recording... The talents will be lying on the sand roughly 10 meters away from the water. What kind (brand, type ...) of directional condenser microphone would you use for recording in...

Sorry to hear about this.. It's seems a somewhat accepted behaviour but still, I'm amazed how professionals in this line of business (here, producers) have such a cavalier tendency to "commit verbally" (or is that an oxymoron?...) to decisive investments (100k!), knowing how much you - the...

Thanks for the reply directorik. It was really an "talent agency", the actors I had picked belong to their online listing... that's the reason of my surprise. I would have definitely understood a casting fee if a search/selection had been done on their side. The "shooting day fee" is the term...

Ok, thanks for your input Paul, it seems that the practice of imposing a fee for the casting is not a systematic one then... Good to know!

I wish! :)

Guys, I'm preparing a shoot for a short film and still have to fill a small role. I found a couple of potentially interesting actors on a "talent website/agency" that I though were worth a try. After contacting the agency, I was surprised they asked for 400 dollars just to send the talent to...

Whoaa what a ride Knuckles! It's very generous of you to give us such a detailed account of your process: Thanks for this! All the best for your project and ... Please keep posting!

Kudos for the improvement: way better indeed. Keep up the good work man!

Same impression as ZenSteve here: The composition shots are of course well done, and obviously a lot of work went into designing the "cube" and integrating it in the shots, but to be honest the story feels rather weak in comparison (e.g. If you plan for a "surprise" effect, by having a...

Good job there, The story was fun, the timing was good and the actor did a fine job too, congrats! I read one of the comments on youtube that said "what if [this film] was also an ad?" Have you thought about that as an alternative ending? Anyway well done!

Thought it was great: You managed to pull a quite ambitious project out with flying colors! The story worked very well IMO (in particular the way the main character tries to find a solution was quite witty and original: Reminds me of McGuiver...in space...) and the photography was fine too...

Good start and end shots , the overall photography is well executed too: good job guys! If I may though - and this only to give a personal view, not to say I would have done it better! - , I felt the garage section could easily be improved by cutting out some - unnecessary coverage (I'm...

Very well done! Great pace and wit in the dialogues, And the puppets in the background are a blast! :) camera work (Red and 5D) was spot on too. Looking forward to seeing more of these!

That was fun! Norwegian expressionism in a loop with a pinch of theremin (nice soundtrack BTW), great combo!

Ubu meets John Waters meets Bobcat Goldthwait and Lenny Bruce.... and I like it
