    Fleeing the country

    People worth a 100 million have offshore accounts to hide / transfer wealth. The world of offshore IBC's (international business corporations) hasn't seen a lot of exposure in films, but I think it could work very well. Most companies that assist in setting up these offshore companies are...

    To showreel or not to showreel

    Best thing to do is make a showreel of between 1 and two minutes: best pieces first, downhill from there. Then whatever you make next will have to be your best piece, and comes in first, and you worst piece gets dropped. Its a loop of continous showreel improvement :)

    New 8TB drives and failure stats

    How do you get to that number? I used to work at a post house (not as a data manager so I could be wrong), and I never saw any 4k movie exceed 12 TB. Max I ever saw was 55mb per frame, which at 24 fps totals to 9.5 TB for a 2h movie. On topic though: seagate advertises them as archive disks...

    Looking for a partner for feature film

    I think most people here are critical because there have been more people on this forum claiming to have millions in funding and it turned out to be b.s. every time. If you want people to take you more serious, try to be less vague. I'm assuming Reggie Von is the title of the picture? What...

    Universal hits record profits with no blockbusters in 2014

    I wonder if cinema-going has gone up this year. From what I gather, the consensus that a few blockbusters is the way to go is mostly due to the fact that on average, people go and see less and less movies each year. People tend to go to the biggest movies, so you need a blockbuster to draw...

    Unconventional screenplay

    My two cents: a 30 minute film without any dialogue at all has to have some absolutely awesome visuals and music to keep me interested. Personally I don't think it should fit on 1.5 page. Maybe it can, but I'd be worried if it did. 30 minutes is a long time. If there's no audio, people don't...

    Location Scouting

    That is one good looking ball... Where'd you get it? I've been looking for a proper one for a while now.

    Hi guys

    Wasn't the main use of Bot&Dolly camera's to be able to do the camera moves the previz artists came up with? I believe they did it so that the VFX dept already had the exact camera move, so tracking wouldn't be necessary. Anyway. Personally I dont think any project I ever worked on used robots...

    animators needed

    Welcome to the forum! As far as I can see, you didn't break any official rules :) However, you did just ask people to do work for free, which is generally frowned upon. You've got some solid idea's, animating Ghandi quotes, and you've got a problem: you don't know enough about animation to do...

    Looking for 3D artist.

    Be more specific about what you need and what you need it for. How many shots exactly do you need, how far along is the rest of the project? And most importantly, what are "Space shots"? do you need a space environment, or do you just need a spacey sky? It's pretty vague this way... What are...

    watch My first rogue 40 second movement/fashion film

    I agree. Image wise it is interesting, and the footage quality is good (aside from the blown out sky around 0:25), but it could be a little bit more coherent in the edit. Maybe a bit more of a uniform feel and grade. Right now it cycles rather quickly through day, night, evening shots. Although...

    Question about hiring a colorist.

    This is not true per-se. Some colorists like to grade the cinema version a bit more laid-back and artistic while having a more punchy, contrasted grade for TV. After all, you need to keep TV watchers more engaged (they might zap away), where as once you've got bums in theatre seats, they ain't...
