Hey all - I landed a gig shooting 1-minute promotional videos for apartments in urban areas (San Francisco, Denver, etc.) a few days ago, and I need to get the proper equipment for the shoots. Some details: - I have a budget of roughly $1,500 to $2,000, with some flexibility. - I currently...

Hey there - I'm from AZ, not sure I'd call myself a filmmaker yet. I'm a senior in high school, 18, and I'll be out of the state within the next 8 months. But my work's at https://vimeo.com/flynnandwolff, let me know if you'd like a hand in anything! Glad to know there's at least one other...

Hello all - Summer's coming, and I'd like to intern at a few potential locations. I'm a junior in high school currently, and the internship would take place over one month of the coming summer. I know a few local companies who have offered to take me, though I'm still trying to nab some of the...

https://vimeo.com/40343738 Constructive criticism would be very much appreciated. It's a rough cut, and all of the file sources have been preserved and whatnot, so any suggestions for minor tweaks are welcomed as well. Some background - Scripted over roughly one week Shot over an 8-hour time...

Thanks for the help! Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eaTWH9AoEE&feature=youtu.be .

Hello all - I've been working a little with Motion 5, and became interested in the optical flow feature it has. Slow-motion has been on my radar for a while, so I figured I'd give it a shot. However, when I dropped the footage in Motion 5 and slowed it all down, the footage looked terrible...

Hello all, This short was shot in a 48-hour style, with two behind the camera and three in front, on a budget of around $10 (in new expenses). Let me know what you think! http://vimeo.com/35249726

Hey all - Just finished my second short, looking for some honest critiques. Note - nothing was staged or planned, most all shots were on the fly and spontaneous. So, while camera angle and lighting critiques are welcome, I'm looking more for comments on how to improve the flow, aesthetics...

Hello all - I've been having some troubles with the SD cards I've been using lately. First, some specs - Most problems occurred while using a Nikon D7000, with two SD cards at the same time (set to backup mode) - one was a Lexar 8GB premium 60x SD HC, 4 rated, the other was a PNY pro 32 GB...

Submarine - 8/10. Insanely witty at points, a little dragged out at others. Son of Rambo - 9/10. I've never felt fuzzier inside. Not the best cinematography or style, but it just made me feel good.

I've had a nice time with the Nikon D7000 - I can't compare it to any of the other cameras in the Canon family, but it's been through some hellish conditions and come out like a boss. Nikon has some great prime lenses that you could use with it, as well. With only the body, you could likely get...

The mumblecore movement used a lot of improv, and that gave it very mixed feedback. Some people thought it added an interesting and natural spin, but others thought that it took away from the storytelling aspect in some way or another. Its not quite improv, but attempting to capture actors in a...

Really, really helpful point there. Watching the video back again, I was almost a little embarrassed by how blatant that was. Thanks for the tip, it'll definitely come in helpful for future projects! On the first point about focus, agreed. I think I became a little trigger happy with the new...

Yup, another first. Tear me apart, this is to learn. At the same time, let me know what I'm doing properly. I'd like to play to my advantages. A few notes - - We're well aware that the audio needs some major work. This was our first experience with a condenser, and there's a lot to figure...

Hey all - Just finished shooting my first piece with the Nikon D7000, and the footage turned out far better than I expected. However, I'm having some trouble getting the quality of this footage over to Final Cut Express... My first attempt was taking the footage directly from the SD card and...

Hey all - Through an interesting series of events, I've been given an option - continue using a Canon Vixia, or switch over to the Nikon D90 with no extra cost. Both are HD, 24p, all that, but when I looked at some D90 samples, they had the jello-like effect going on. However, as I already...

There's always that awkward moment when reality strikes and the aspirations you have in life are seriously questioned. I definitely haven't hit that point at its worst yet, but I'm sure it's coming :grumpy: I feel like considering film as a career would prompt this question more than other...

It'd be used for short films. I don't anticipate extreme weather conditions or much shooting in the dark. Is there something newer that's around the same price range, used? I appreciate the advice, thanks again.

Hey all- I'm a total newbie when it comes to purchasing cameras. A little background- I came across the Panasonic AG-DVX100a in an advertisement in the L.A. Times, used and on sale for $900. It seems to have a lot of good reviews, and it's right in my price range. So... - Has anybody had...

Hullo- I've started to go on a pre-production software hunt, and I've found some interesting and free (for the most part) software like Celtx. Can anyone provide input on a certain pre-production software that you would recommend? Preferably free and downloadable (not browser-dependent). I'm...
