    Film Production Courses UK.

    Studying at college is a great route I can vouch for- as long as the course is rooted in vocational learning like mine was you'll do great. My college was part of the Skillset Academy, meaning I can fasttrack to 3rd year and get my degree in 8 months- conclusively Ill be better qualified than...

    In need of a good movie :)

    Yes it had a point, but I don't find total self destruction entertaining, gripping or rewarding to watch in the slightest.

    In need of a good movie :)

    The Dead Zone Stephen King adaption with Christopher Walken, Cronenberg directing. Absolutely fantastic, does the masterpiece of the book justice. Check it out!!! Requiem For A Dream is indeed the most depressing film I've ever seen as well. Hated it.

    One hit wonder film directors

    First I've heard of this...what did he plagerise? This may arguably hinder his talent as a writer (which I completely disagree with, I am a fan), but as a director his movement and choice of angles evokes and carries the story very well. Ironically watching Unbreakable as I type this. The...

    British Filmmakers

    Hey guys, A word of warning. If you are going to purchase camera equipment from Gumtree from anywhere in the UK, avoid dealing with ANITA LEONARD. This individual is a professional criminal and is a fraudster. They have targeted camera sales specifically it would seem and has caught out many...

    How much power does a producer have over a director?

    Aint that the truth! You need to learn more about directing by experiencing it for yourself, if you knew about directing there is absolutely no way you'd be commenting so intensely on promoting a "producers dictatorship" :P Not to say I've ever had a problem with any of the producers I've...

    One hit wonder film directors

    Kassovitz is one of my favourite directors, I think its unfair you've listed him as in contrast to La Haine which was superb, his work has been subject to "watering down", Babylon AD being a prime example- to the point where he nearly disowned the film. Theres a big big difference between making...

    The Ward - John Carpenter

    The Ward was awful, I don't know what Carpenter was thinking! The first 10 minutes are excellent, old skool Carpenter, but then it takes a total nose dive, doesnt even feel or look like a Carpenter film- just felt generic and a chance wasted. It was such a lackluster film, the possibility he...

    Dario Argento- any fans?

    Yeah man some of the shots in Inferno are so technical, for the time and the budget its crazy that he pulled it off. Ive yet to see Phenomena, I actually went with the intention of buying it today as the reissue comes with a commentary track from Argento apparently, which I would love to hear...

    Dario Argento- any fans?

    I just picked up the UK reissue/restoration of "Inferno" on DVD (should have got it on Bluray but didnt know it existed) and have to say that the rework has done the film the world of good, from film, to extras, to additional materials in the box, Arrow Video have put together a great package...

    Canon XL1.........Need advice!

    Had a good read about the forum, and finally decided I'm going to settle for the Canon D600 (Rebel T3i). Seems like an excellent camera for the money, found one for sale 2nd hand at a great price! Cheers for the input!

    Canon XL1.........Need advice!

    Hey Paul, Your argument is solid man, tape logging is the one element I hate...so yeah seems like Mini DV needs to change. I'll have a look about the forum and see how I can conclude! Any more opinion/advice welcome!

    Canon XL1.........Need advice!

    Hi directorik, thanks for your quick response. DV tape is all I know, I guess I'm hesitant to embrace change. Do you have any recommendations for video cameras with SD as their primary means of capture? I too love the 170 to bits, great rough and ready bit of kit with super results. The lack...

    Canon XL1.........Need advice!

    Hi guys, Well my course is on the verge of ending and my privilege of using the course's equipment stops at the end of June- so my next step is to purchase my own equipment before my campus shift in Sept for a final year of uni. I have a good technical ability with crew positions across the...

    The Best Films Since 2000: Future Movie Classics (A Dynamic List)

    Tight list.....although "There Will Be Blood" should have been number 1- it is the best film to come out of the decade, incredible film. Cant believe you ranked "No Country For Old Men" at 41! Good list though I agree with a good bit of it.

    Halloween nightmare campaign

    I enjoyed your short, it was well shot and consistent. I've never heard of this Indiegogo setup before, seems great- won't the pay out to your contributors not hinder your financial gain though? Good wee short, great job, the mask looked awesome.
