A little input either way would be great.

I will be shooting on a canon 550d. That set-up certainly looks like a winner to me. Thanks

Hi please take a look at my short documentary about comics and the people who create and enjoy them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDl_r9jLcGI This was made for a university project and features Bryan Talbot. p/s There was a little issue with the sound on one our interviewees. Hope this doesn't...

Hi I am about to embark on shooting renowned author/illustrator Bryan Talbot as he prepares for his third installment of Grandville. I want to shoot Bryan from above as he works on one of his pages using time lapse photography. What is the best way to set this up. It must remain in place for two...

Does the split screen work in this instance or is it too distracting????

A short trailer for a film about a man who yearns to become a woman. My first dabble with split screen.. any thoughts??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uijVppN6jqY Cheers

Check out this trailer for Carriers - 50 seconds in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwH4bxNK8Os Hope this helps.

I would really read up on this. Established directors use various techniques to get results. For instance, instead of asking them to appear concerned ask the child to do thier times table in thier head during the scene. For close-ups the results can be startling. I would also recommend that you...

I am perplexed as to why you posted this when you are aware of the many, many problems it has!!!!

Great analogy wheatgrinder! That one will be stored away.

I would first ask you to visualise your idea in your head and then read what you've written. Do the two match up? It takes place in a room. Describe the room. You really need to set the scene. David Goodman? Who is this guy. Why are we interested? Why should we be concerned for him? David...

Looks great! Will check out the facebook later. Personally I wouldn't have reintroduced the VO after the gun shot. It breaks the flow of the intrigue you establish with that great shot of the hand and shovel. Hope the screening goes well.

I'd love to read it but I'm not able to view it as I don't have a google account. This is probably why you haven't had any feedback so far.

Looks pretty good. It sets the mood for what I hope is a good story.

Hitchcock used his most shocking scene in the first third of his film Psycho and then let the audiences imagination do the rest. It all depends on what you're after - the main thing is to give them a rest between shocks and move the story forward. Plot it out on index cards and try them in...

You're 15, so go mad and experiment! - You'll learn more on a project like this than sticking with a story about a man in one room.

The fact they are all of the these apparent 'problems' would only serve to make the documentary more interesting. The fact the lead guitarist is suing the lead singer immiediately adds a story arch. Will he suceed? Has he been ripped off? Is his claim valid? Will they make up? Will he get back...

Cheers Wheatgrinder!

In the U.K there's a directory http://www.britfilms.com/festivals/ Within here there are specific festivals for horror and fantasy. I'm sure you must have the same there. Some are cheap to enter so apply to as many as you can afford. The benefits?? These are great places to get noticed but more...

You need a reason to justify shooting in night vision. It must serve the story rather than something you think looks neat. Shoot the beginning in normal colour, then when the night vision comes in it will serve to alter the mood of the piece and also be an interesting contrast to the first...
