Hello, it's been a very long time since I posted anything on here, but still I thought I would come back and show some of my new work. This is a film we shot last summer called The Deal, here's a copy of the description for the film: A fresh faced stockbroker called Victor has just discovered a...

Thanks for the quick and straight answer Paul, this has helped my decision on what camera to purchase.

Hello, I am a in a bit of a pickle at the moment as I cannot decide whether to buy a Canon 600D or Nikon D5100 for filming. The problem is I currently have a full set of Nikon lenses so logic tells me to buy the D5100 but the Canon looks better even if only slightly and in this day and age that...

Hello, I am looking to invest in a Canon 600D for short films, I currently have a set of Nikon lenses and I was just wondering if the adapters work for all lens types. The main two lenses I am using are the AF-S NIKKOR 18-200MM 1.3.5-5.6 G ED & AF NIKKOR 50MM 1:1.8 D I can only assume that an...

The point of the film is that it's not really about anything, it's simply a look at 3 peoples lives. Although each of the 3 segments do have a metaphorical message but maybe I didn't show that enough. As for breaking the 180 degree rule, I'm pretty sure that I don't, but I might come close to...

Hello, I made this short film recently for a local competition, it didn't turn out as well as I hoped because of the rushed foley and we didn't have time to apply filters. Anyway if you could give it a watch and leave some constuctive criticism, it would be appreciated (I'm not looking for...

Hello everyone! I've been using a Canon 60D at college for shooting films recently and I've got to say, it's an awesome camera. The thing (besides the outstanding quality of the footage) that impressed me was the amount of manual controls you have when on the 'Movie' setting. My question...

I'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to this sort of thing. What exactly is a 'standoff device'?

Thanks for all the suggestions! Taking all of your comments on board, I am thinking of buying something like this: This comes with two five-hundred watt bulbs, and then buying two two-hundred watt bulbs to go with it, is this a good idea or does anyone have a better idea? Your comments are...

Hello, I am in need (or at least I think I am in need) of some decent lighting that I can control the intensity of for less than £50. I have searched Amazon but I can't find anything. I need the lighting for just generally making the shot brighter because my camera doesn't work well in the dark...

I thought this was quite good but I would have got more close ups of small things such as the glasses being took off near the start of the film, or the cigarette being lit. I think the story is a little too 'Hollywood' for me but apart from that it is a cool series and I wish you the best of luck!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0r2MB7e5AAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v= This is a short film we made to test out Action Essentials 2 with Adobe After Effects, however After Effects couldn't run on my PC so we just used a simpler blood effect. Any comments...

This episode of Local Life is about soldier day in our local area (the ashfield district in the UK). Give it a watch and tell me what you think! I know there are some issues with sound and the fact that we didn't use a tripod (because I forgot it...) but if you have any other criticism or...

Thanks for the help, I'll look at those tutorials first and if that doesnt work I'll try the 8 or 16 point garbage matte, once again thanks for the help!

Thanks for those, I will take a look at em later, and yeah I'm pretty sure it is possible on Premiere but it might be easier on After Effects.
