So, for the past five years I've been learning about screenwriting and while I've written a short or two it's time for me to tackle a feature. The problem is that I have too many good ideas that I'm paralyzed when I try to choose one, some days Ill feel good about one idea and start it but then...

Nice job, some of the shots were a bit under exposed.. I know how it's hard/annoying to shoot a football game at night without major lights though so I feel your pain. Try to color correct all the footage so it matches a bit more.. and like zensteve said, identify who it is and whatnot... half...

That does look really awesome, there's a certain sense in an audio finishing stage like that. A little indescribable.

It's not going to be the Riddler or Mr. Freeze, my guess is because the last time those villains were portrayed they did not go over so well. Anyone else thinking Penguin? I hate the name, it makes no sense. He's already risen... he rose in the last film... Why not call it something with more...

I watched his seminars and they are good but I would highly suggest you save the hundreds/thousands and just buy his book From Reel to Deal.. it covers al the same topics, is an easy read and really informative.

Hey all, I'm kind of new around these parts, I think I've had an account for a while and made a few posts but haven't kept up for long. I'm sure there's an introduction thread around here, and Ill go post in that so I dont bore you in this thread. But onto the main question, what is your...

So I've tried looking into UCLA/USC but, unfortunately they either don't fit into my schedule or my budget (For some reason, USC accepts people for the next Fall semester in the previous years fall semester, which means I wouldn't start there til Fall 2011, which is too late for me). I've been...

Hey, Welcome! I'll start by saying that the best way to look like film is to shoot on film... the grayscale of digital cameras isn't as big as the grayscale on film. You CAN make a it look similar to film but you won't get close. For a $1000 budget, you can rent a HD camera but you can't buy...

Are there any cities that give away permits for free (or very little) to shoot on a street. We'll be shooting for under 5 hours and the crew is under 10 people. We won't need to stop traffic or anything like that. The cities I have talked with have said they want anywhere from $500-$10,000 for...

Yeah, he doesn't have insurance for it at the moment. That's something else I'm looking for, after this production something that he can take with him (or create a new policy for in his name) and pay for it himself. I'm just looking for something to cover me for all the equipment Im going to...

Is 2 weeks the least amount? Our shoot is a one day shoot.

Do you happen to know if you can get insurance for a short 3 minute film? Or insurance for JUST the camera? We're shooting a short film on August 30th, and we're having the camera on a car mount... the camera is owned by the DP who's a personal friend of mine, and I really don't want to...

Can you make any recommendations as to a good insurance company for a ultra low budget ($200,000) action/thriller (Minor stunts, no major explosions), and signed with SAGs Ultra Low Budget Agreement.

I had a few issues with audio feedback when connecting straight to the camera that I've never gotten recording seperately.. plus you can control the levels, whereas going straight to the camera you cant...(I mean you CAN but you cant monitor and adjust the levels during filming... unless your...

I thought he meant hiring crew, he didn't say that he needed to cast a female... so I assumed he meant that he wanted his crew to be 16 year old females.
