    Do I need a setting for my script?

    Just a thought: Since it seems difficult for you to shelf the idea, how about changing it up a bit? Your problem is your resources; you have small city, you want big city. How about write for a small town? These terrorist dudes take a small town hostage in order to gain national, even worldwide...

    Do I need a setting for my script?

    If you think that people want the authenticity, why would you lean towards not using an authentic place (or image of a place in this case) Unless I'm not understanding you?

    Do I need a setting for my script?

    In my opinion, putting your story in a realistic setting will help sell the story. You could always opt out and go for some fictional setting, but of course that comes with the process of developing your own universe, which may prove both challenging and fun. Hey man, if it's going to be your...

    Lower Thirds Problem

    Yeah I'm going to take that resolution hit for about 6 seconds, but luckily, we recorded in 1080 but rendering out in 720. :D

    Lower Thirds Problem

    Thing is, I think that would ruin the uniform look throughout the rest of the video. I may just go with the opacity fix... And holy crap it does... :eek:

    Lower Thirds Problem

    This is the problem. My lower thirds is covering the two kids' faces. I can't seem to think of a work around that would compromise the uniformity of the lower thirds. Any one have a solution?

    A Little Project Stress

    Dammit, all I have is cute cats with hats shot up close with a fish eye :/ Man.. practice runs... We didn't even think about it. Then again, some of interviews were crunched in between some of the athlete's games, so we had no time. But for those we did have time... we should have done...

    A Little Project Stress

    I wasn't paid at all actually. The organization doesn't have any means of media apparently. Basically from what I heard, they looked for someone to do it volunteer, which no one felt like doing. Somehow the need of a media crew got to one of my teachers who then offered us the opportunity. I...

    A Little Project Stress

    Sorry, should have specified that. A lot of one word responses to questions, bad shot comp on a couple of the interviews. Mostly the one word responses. We did push for our interviewees to use complete sentences, but many of them were shy in front of the camera, and we didn't want to push too...

    A Little Project Stress

    So a couple months ago, a few buddies and I were asked to shoot for the Special Olympics Southern California and it seemed like we did a great job. Now I am doing A LOT of the editing, and as I look through the footage, some of the interviews aren't so.. usable. I'm getting the jitters! This...
