Hello everyone, I have a deadline for a film and I only have two days left and I'm extremely irritated with some clipping that is going on when my audio transitions. I'm not sure if clipping is the right term, but basically what happens is I have a dialogue scene, with a few different audio...

Woke up yesterday to see this article about my film company on the front page. What are your thoughts? http://www.pressherald.com/news/horror-all-around-over-teen-filmmakers-bloodbaths-set-in-brunswick-_2013-01-13.html?pageType=

What exactly are the rules/restrictions/guidelines/etc. for filming in public? What if you're a 17 year old with a cast of teenagers making short films for YouTube and you wanted to film in a public location, say a library? Or downtown? I read that you don't need any permits or permission as...

I just put together my Glidecam HD2000 today and I'm using it with my rebel t3i and a kit lens. I'm having trouble balancing it correctly. I've been doing trial and error for a few hours, with not much improvement. Any advice? what have you done to improve balance? thanks

A year ago I started a short film zombie series called "The Biohazard". It's done fairly well on YouTube, and today the third part went live. I've embedded it below, if you have some time give it a watch - i could use the feedback. And if you're really interested i've included the links to part...

I usually mess around with guns and special effects, but on my Nerf channel, PDKFilms, I haven't uploaded in a while so I made a quick video (filmed and edited and uploaded within 6 hours). We just made it up as we went and it ended up going from sketch and strange to completely i dont even...

Hey all, I thought I'd share my quick new action short. Its been up for a few days, I filmed it on Sunday, May 20, and uploaded it on Friday, May 25, and it's done pretty well in the past few days. Anyway, here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23wq1sVHw-Q?hd=1

I thought I'd share my latest action-vfx short film, "The Care Package". It was my first time shooting in low light conditions and I used a canon 50mm 1.4, and I was fairly impressed with its superb ability in low light :) anyway, here she is (watch in HD on YouTube for best experience!!!)...

Hi all, I have a canon rebel t3i and a 50mm 1.4 and kit lens (18-55mm) and would like to purchase a zoom lens for, well, close up shots from far away. I film short action films with vfx and airsoft guns and I need a lens that can zoom in far so I can get a sniper scope point of view. the...

Well I started editing my footage from last weekend's shoot and realized while I started syncing my audio (I use a rebel t3i for video, and i get audio from a Zoom H4N and Audio-Technica AT897 shotgun mic) that for some reason the sound coming from my shotgun mic is only coming out of the right...

Hey guys I'm filming in two days (this saturday) and there is a part when I will be filming in a building with no power and few windows. I can achieve decent lighting by cranking up the ISO a little bit (400) with relatively low noise, but I was wondering if you guys of any ideas of lights I can...

Hey all, it's been a while since I shared one of my YouTube videos on this site. As most of you probably know, I make short films on YouTube using airsoft guns and visual effects to make it look like they're real guns firing live ammo. It's been over a year since I first started and I just...

Hey all, I've been needing a steadicam for a while now and I really want to get one for my DSLR (rebel t3i) and was wondering if you guys know a good one that isn't extremely expensive. I don't want a cheap one that won't work, so im talking medium quality here. One that could do the work seen...

Hey all, I'm making a short film about a fictional "Canadian Drug Cartel" and in order to put it into production I need two more things: Money and Drugs Obvious it is unrealistic (and unethical!) to use real $100 bills in the film, and I was wondering where I could get some authentic looking...

I'm having problems with the quality of my new video on YouTube, found here. I believe that my video looks blurry, pixelated, and low quality on 360p compared to other videos on 360p, especially this one here. I mean, seriously, My video and the other video were filmed with the same camera...

Hi everyone, I want to film a FPS shooter video for YouTube and instead of using a Go Pro like the rest of YouTube, I want to mount my Rebel T3i to a helmet. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW2yLEqs1qU freddiew shows his mount for his rebel t2i and I want to build something...

Hey all, I made a short Battlefield 3 Live Action video inspired by EA's Battlefield 3, of course. A lot of work went into it and it's finally up on Christmas!! Give it a look and leave me some feedback, Thanks, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xo7SCtB3778

Hey all, This weekend I'm filming a 3-4 minute vfx sequence, which needs to have a few explosions. I have acquired a replica grenade launcher and I want to have some juicy explosions. I've been doing the entire explosions in AE in the past, but I kind of want to do some with practical effects...

Hey all, Up until now, I've been using premiere pro and after effects to edit my films. But now I want to switch from premiere pro to sony vegas 11, but I will still be using after effects for visual effects and such. With premiere pro, whenever there was a clip that needed vfx in after...

hey everyone, for some of my upcoming films I'm interested in "cloning" people. In other words, I have 4 or 5 actors portraying soldiers and I want to get some shots that show around 10 or so people all at once. I know how to achieve this using a tripod by taking two shots without moving the...
