    COPY PANTS - Our Kicksarter Just Launched.

    We're remaking a film we made back in 2009, COPY PANTS. It's a comedy about two friends who find a pair of pants that can copy anything put into the left pocket. Light hearted, and very dry humor pours out, even from the first one we made despite all the newbie mistakes. Now we're remaking it...

    watch "COLD" a COPY SHORT for COPY PANTS - COMEDY

    Me and my crew are rebooting a film we made back in 2009 called COPY PANTS. We'll be doing a Kickstarter and the whole shebang. In the mean-time, we're making super shorts to bring attention to COPY PANTS as a project. The characters from the film, Doug and Phillipe, are in random situations and...

    Visual Effects artist needed for single clip in short film.

    Hello, I have a single clip in a short film I filmed a while ago. Except for the actors and a couple of set hands, I am pretty much working by myself. I have minimal experience with visual effects, and am able to do some things. However, due to some complications, we had to use these large and...

    watch "Ulterior"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfFSIcEv8Ng This is my latest short film. Everybody in this was unpaid and generally inexperienced. Could I get some C&C on the narrative, editing, vfx, musical score etc? I'm still learning myself. What did you enjoy? What would you change?

    watch A quick trailer for "Ulterior"- an upcoming short film.

    Here's the trailer made with the little footage gathered so far of my next short "Ulterior". It was pretty hastily made and may be a tad melodramatic. In any case, let me know what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOZS4MUyiG4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOZS4MUyiG4

    Is there ANY way to stop the GH2 from automatically switching viewfinders?

    The GH2 automatically activates the eyepiece if it detects something within a certain distance, which is usually awesome, but when I'm trying to shoot something really close quarters (such as putting the camera inside of a cabinet) I need to be able to see the screen. I also don't have an...

    What should I charge to produce a landscaping commercial?

    I have a buddy that has a landscaping business (So no actors, scripts, or sets to build). I recently got the GH2 and he is impressed with my talents and wants me to produce him a commercial. I'm not exactly sure of what he is going to want, but I'm guessing mostly slide shots of all of his work...

    watch "What would you do?" - Our one minute short.

    We decided to continually do small shorts in between the larger stuff until we start pre-production on something serious. We filmed it in a couple of hours with a new crew member that hadn't worked on any of our other shorts yet. Let me know what you think. It's my first time directing a hand to...

    watch Campfire - A two minute short film

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ2FKNdgI1c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ2FKNdgI1c It's our first outing with out new HD equipment. The short doesn't have the feel I wanted due to the actor's performances. I don't blame them though, one is new, and the...

    Best Microphone for $300 or under?

    What I have in mind is the Rode NTG 2, but I've heard some complaints about it. I'll be using this Tascam sound recorder (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R65MFO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_10) Which provides Phantom power and multiple different gain levels. Right now I don't have the budget for...

    GH2 Frame rate question

    I feel like a noob, but it's better to swallow my pride and get the footage I want than to act like I know what I'm doing and settle for sub-par shots. How do I record with 60i fps? The manual says I need to record with "AVCHD (1080i)" Using FSH. But for some reason, no matter what buttons I...

    Around $100 audio recorder.

    I know $100 won't get me anything good, but after buying a brand new GH2 and spending near $1,00 on a new computer, my indie film start-up budget is just about spent. I was going to buy http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R65MFO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3CLJYQ8X1E8Z4 With a Rode mic...

    Will this new rig be able to handle HD editing (Asking before purchase)

    (Sorry if it's in the wrong area) I will be purchasing a new rig to handle the footage my new GH2 gives me because my current computer just can't handle the editing of it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125401...

    Bad idea to hang GH2 by Hot Shoe mount?

    Now I know that it sounds like a bad idea to hang something on a mount that's designed to hold, but it would really help me. I'm designing a crane-like dolly (not jib) that hold onto the camera. Instead of designing something to wrap around the camera and still give me access to all of the...

    Would anyone recomend doing an improv series?

    This may be an odd question, or it might be so common that it's generally decided its a bad/something idea. What is your opinion on doing a series with improv, with some structuring? (This isn't related to my recent thread on how to finish a script, I swear) Seriously though, IF I can find...

    How do you keep going to the end?

    Right now I'm having trouble pushing through on writing my script. I thought the film out a dozen times and even have the outline taped to my wall. Thing is, I just seemed to run out of motivation to finish the script. I have a little under 1/5th done as a first draft, but don't feel the want to...

    Will my computer handle HD video editing?

    In about a month I'm planning to buy a Panasonic GH2, and with it film and edit HD footage. I was wonder if those who have worked with HD footage (I've only used SD previously) would be able to tell me if my computer would be able to handle it. 2.5GHZ Intel Dual-Core 4 GB of RAM 768MB NVIDIA...

    Best beginning Panasonic GH2 setup.

    After a couple of conversations with members of this forum, and some research, I decided that the GH2 was the best choice for the level of film making I'm looking to get into right now. In about a month or so I will finally have enough funds to purchase the GH2. My question is, what is the best...
