I think I could make lots of blood work, thanks. As far as the snow, I already know I'll be hardpressed to get the ideal conditions I want, but I'm also shooting this myself on my own time and resources, so as long as I can get my actors where I need them for a scene I can wait on the weather I...

So, I'm doing a rewrite of a film I wrote called "Last Call" which I posted on here a while ago. Inspired by the blizzard I'm currently in the middle of, I came up with the idea that the murder the story revolves around can happen in the middle of an intense snow storm. Now what's important...

Definitely a limited use thing, and yes, it would have to be filmed on a day with NO wind. But I'm an engineer by nature... getting the thing to work in ideal conditions wouldn't be that difficult for me. And I'd design it myself from the ground up so mine would be set up to work how I wanted it...

Another idea is a "Powered Parachute" or as I prefer to call them, "Flying Go Karts". Basically a fan attached to something that very much resembles a go-kart, which generates lift via a rectangular parachute. Simple, cheap, and several possibilities.

Okay, so I work in the automotive department in a wal-mart. Well I was bored one day and while looking at the mock-up Goodyear blimp that hangs above the sales counter, I got a fantastic idea for shooting aerial footage... A R/C CAMERA BLIMP!!! Now I've only scratched the surface on this idea...

Also, I loved "the matrix" and the use of the western references. Newspaper for tumbeweed. That movie will always be a classic, just based on the badassness of bullet time. Modern Myth, have you seen "Inside Man"? The had a pretty good idea for a modern bank robbery, especially with the...

I was thinking the train scene would be more about making a hit on an antagonist or kidnap him. Like the target is only accessible on the train, otherwise they stay very well protected, and the outlaws have to kill this person to progress the storyline in some way. I'm not sure yet but I'll...

@ ALL. Any western buffs out there? Tell me some things you'd like to see reborn in a modern western. @ CF. Sounds good! I'd love to hear what you have so far for your western bro. @ Camera Obscara. I've seen it done before so I'd have to come up with a interesting way of transitioning between...

Okay, so I've decided the next piece I want to write is going to be a modern western. I have an idea of where I want to take it, but haven't started writing yet. This will be a dramatic action feature. Some things I'm certain I'll want: - Outlaw Perspective. This film's protagonist(s) will not...

Thank you for that CF. It was quite funny! And on the subject, audio is noticeable if it's off, but the importance of that is dependent on the intent of the footage. If you just want to be a DOP, then a film with excellent shots and terrible audio would still be valuable. If you're selling the...

I'm that "dude" who CF referred to. lol Sorry it took me so long to jump into the conversation, but I have a few questions of my own now. I know very little about audio as I am more of a visual guy. But I understand the importance of good audio. Is there a such thing as a "general purposes...

This is off subject but Sin, where are you in Detroit? I'm from Southfield! And filmmaking wise, if I ever get my feature off the ground, I'll be shooting in Motown for a bit. Which will be awesome.

Definitely... I'd really like to see what RED's Scarlet has to offer if they ever release the damn thing. Point taken. Thanks. I didn't realize that's what they were doing until I watched it again. Good eye!:weird:

CF, This one is for you. lol You HAVE convinced me that DSLR is badass to say the least. But I'm still in love with this camera. So the verdict is... I'll probably end up with BOTH. The hard part is deciding which one to get first. I suppose it depends on what scripts I get finished first as...

I know I love it! And this small compared to the advice and insights I've gotten from some of the guys here.

Dear Cracker Funk: You are awesome. I dig it, thanks.

Thanks. No I haven't looked into DSLR too much so I'm not opposed to them, I'm just more familiar with conventional camcorders. I plan on building myself an arsenal of cameras so I'm looking into lots of options and I appreciate the link. I understand that the DSLR cameras do have pretty...

Definitely check out the Scribd thing then. You get free access for 24 hours by uploading anything pretty much and then the book is a free download. I also found some pretty nifty DIY plans for a steadicam system on Scribd. Give me 24 hours and I'll download a library :lol:
