    FCE question.

    I tried searching for this but couldnt find it. I'm new to fce so I was just editing some junk footage together as a music video to try and learn my way around it. Anyway.. I wanted to get like a flashing effect. The only way I know how to do this is cut the clip down to 1 or 2 hundreds of a...

    Next up: Ingmar Bergman

    seventh seal, persona, through a glass darkly. the only other one i have seen is wild strawberries, but i didn't like it much. I mean, its great filmmaking, but relative to his other films, didn't do it for me. I guess the subject matter wasnt' as relatable. I've been meaning to see cries and...

    Lesser Know Movies that are Great

    I would like to second Elephant, KIDS, Inland Empire, and Shadow of a Vampire. My recommendation would be Dancer in the Dark by Lars von Trier. One of those Dogma efforts, tho he broke some of the rules. Incredibly powerful. and it's in English for those of you who don't like to read your...

    Film studies?

    I have. I've been out of school for a while and have struggled with the decision of whether or not to go back to school. I really admire people who can teach themselves and meet their goals. For me however, I realized that I need some structure and direction academically. So here I am. Shopping...

    Film studies?

    I thought that I wanted to be a filmmaker, but after reading through various books, I find the theory and criticism stuff to be more interested that Film Directing Fundamentals or Art of Dramatic Writing. I'll still be working on some filmmaking type stuff but academically, I want to focus on...

    Film studies?

So i mean if it's a good program in those respects then its just what i'm looking for. I was going to do that first them move onto a filmmaking MA in either OU or hopefully London Film...

    Film studies?

    so osu film studies is no good? It seemed pretty legit from what i read on the site (but of course they want it to sound amazing.) This multimedia program at OU, is that what they call "Media Arts and Studies?" I was just looking at that, but is that really based in film or is it based in every...

    Film studies?

    Recently I have been considering going to a school for film studies instead of going to an actual film school. I live in Ohio and would like to stay in the state. I've done a little research and it seems that Ohio State University and Bowling Green State University are the only schools in Ohio...

    Minimal Shots

    One of my favorite filmmakers, Michel Haneke, is all about this slow meditative style. I can say that for him, it is a back lash to the MTV generation of media. i've been interested in this too, I hope more people start getting back into this. It's only natural though, filmmaking can only move...

    Are books on film-makers worth reading?

    I've read David Lynch's 'Catching the Big Fish' and it was pretty damn interesting. I read it all in one day. It has like 150 chapters that are all less than 2 pages long, so obviously it doesn't get too in depth, but you get an idea of his creative processes and how crazy he is about...

    Film title

    and flicker i just fell in love with your sig phrase. I feel like he's talking to me! that's my biggest problem with creative work be it writing, drawing, music, i take myself too seriously and am so afraid of rejection! I'll be reflecting on that. But back to the topic...

    Film title

    Good idea with the thesaurus. Gave that a try with no avail. I sort of like 'That Which Is Broken', is seems to go along with the dialogue and maybe even more suggestive to the themes. This project has been unnamed for so long that I almost wanted it to be untitled. Then I thought of doing...

    watch WASTED LIFE - First Short Film

    I'd have to say that's a very decent effort for a first short. I liked the editing with the gun and saying "day after day after day". Was the coffee cup a godard homage? nice touch. Obviously at this point every element can be improved upon. For starters, I think most of the dialogue was decent...

    Film title

    Just a quick question-- Would it be a bad decision to use the word 'Broken' as the title for an upcoming short film of mine? It seems like the perfect fit for my movie (without seeming cliche) I think it would work well with the images on screen, as I was going to fade from title to opening...
