Had a first time camera op who had never done it before along with a first time stunt fighter. Had to change choreo so that we ended up getting like 10% of the original choreography including all the fun stuff being cut out. I had considered not uploading it, but realize then I would be THAT...

lol, I wish you could, too, Paul! I think there's still space open and it's $20 for those interested. It'll include a pass to the rest of the festival. Just sign up for "Filminf Fight Scenes" here: http://www.urbanactionshowcase.com/p/ticketspasses.html Look forward to seeing folks! :)

Pretty good production values! You clearly put some effort into it! If I had to call out anything right away, I would say that for the opening scene, you can elevate the level of your lights higher to light up your talent from a downward angle. The low level of the lights were a little...

What's your budget? I've used the T3i up to ISO1600 for a wedding so I have a frame of reference. For around $1300 you can get a Canon 7D new and I regularly shoot up to 1600ISO with that without people complaining (though I personally get bothered by the noise). It has noticeably better noise...

Background context: each year our university has a banquet with all the martial arts programs and each club has to make a video to present. We were, um, kind of late on production and had to rush it, all right before finals week. Hope you enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOjU4RuHCHI

Not at all!! Audio has always been a little of a mystery for me, actually, haha (I'm sure you can tell). Any publicity is good publicity and I'm curious as to this anyhow :P

Thanx for the constant support, guys! I just picked up a lav mic and converter to run to my iphone so hopefully that'll free up my hands and body a little more in the audio stuff, haha I think it's been at least two episodes since we've been back to this thread. I really like the new episode...

Fulfilling a popular request on hot to choreograph a fight scene. A big topic, so this will definitely be a multi-parter, as I want to do it right. Feedback/suggestions are greatly welcomed and appreciated! I'll try to stick them in the next episode if I can :D...

Wow, we had to take a month-long break, but we're back and up and running! This episode is on armor and padding for stunts!!! Let me guys know what you think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAu6bkiYe7A

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNdCCzS8E3w We've been working hard to promote it but haven't really gotten to a "tipping point," it seems before it really blows up. We've just started a subseries on cinematography and starting one on choreography as per requests. Any other suggestions would be...

Episodes 4 and 5 have been uploaded! We switched gears again to the cinemtography portion of fillmmaking due to popular request. Please let me know if you have any suggestions/requests from these new episodes =) Episode 5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgcy1fbj6sI

My frist fan film. We had a ton of fun sharing the puppet work on the set. I'd highly suggest it among a group of friends. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=130UeubVDew

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OoylJLHsFw&feature=feedu I highly encourage anyone who hasn't tried it, to do so. And have fun with it! ;)

Haha, thanx, guys! The camera we used in the short film portion of Episode 3 was a Canon 7D. In all the episodes we used 90% 7D footage, and in the fight scene for Episode 2, we had to intersplice 550D footage when the battery on the 7D clunked out. You can kind of tell, especially since we had...

There's often an error beginning directors make in trying to make a prop LOOK real as opposed to FEEL real. One of the best ways to make a prop FEEL realistic is to NOT emphasize it unless its crucial to the plot. Unless you're doing a long take closeup and need blowback action, there's very...

Hey guys! Episode 3 is up and were focusing on props and weapons on this one. A little change of pace haha. Remember to subscribe if you can and please help us spread it to other filmmakers if possible! =] And we'd love to keep hearin feedback! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9AbsgXv7-k
