    Is using Action Essentials acceptable?

    No, AE does not come with any stock footage. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by the "Saving Private Ryan" look, because I'm pretty sure most of the explosions in that film are real explosions. Maybe your friend is referring to Hollywood Blockbusters, in which case, yes, they wouldn't use...

    laptop or desktop

    Laptop will always be more expensive than desktop with the same spec. And for VFX, 3D modeling, and editing 4k footage, a large screen is almost a must, so you must take that into account also. It just comes down to how important is mobility to you? and is it important enough to justify the...

    Editting on Laptop

    Laptop or desktop aren't actually the issue here. The only thing that matters is the spec of the computer. And naturally, a laptop with the same spec as a desktop would cost a bit more money too. The only problem i have with editing on a laptop is it's small screen. But this can be easily...

    Need help with my first script

    And should i add a scene or two to elaborate on how they drifted apart? But i'm worried if it would make the film drag on for too long.

    Need help with my first script

    Hello, thanks for the feedback But what is "sophormorphic" and "A-OK" ? =S And i was hoping for the seasons to be a more metaphorical thing. With spring being the beginning, summer being the passion, autumn being when the feelings just fade away, and winter being when it ends. Do you think it...

    Need help with my first script

    Hello all, I was wondering if you could take a look at the first screenplay i have ever written. It is script a short film ( maybe 10 minutes long) and I have been working on it for a few weeks now. Finally, i have decided that it is time for people other than myself to help tear it apart (not...

    Can Digital get this level of quality?

    I think alcove got it spot on. Ultimately it's just up to the artist. Just look at the masterpieces by the artists of the 1400s. With their horse hair paint brush, egg yoke as prime, they still create works that people with their accurately formulated chemical, and machine made paint brush can...

    PERMITS - Anyone ever shut down?

    I've had when i was shooting a scene of a band in the garage, and the neighbor came by and told us off. Took quite a while to explain the situation. I can imagine it being worse if the neighbor, instead of coming over, called the police or noise control or something. So might be a good idea to...

    Anyone else annoyed with this in car chases?

    Hello harmonica, this is rather off topic but still... I've been off this forum for a few months due to exam and other things. I was wondering, have you finished with the short film you were making? and if so, could you re-post the link again? I was actually kinda looking forward to it. Thanks

    Am I being screwed here?

    I don't know much about IT, but aren't those date easily changed? For example if you set your clock on your computer to, say, 2007. Then you create a fresh document. Wouldn't the date created show "2007"?

    ANIME FIGHT SCENES

    If you look at some more eastern, especially chinese martial art movies such as the one you pointed out, you'll notice that they are all quite artistic. This has got to do with the culture. In ancient china for example, martial art is precisely what it says, an art form. It's far more than...
