    Miniature Drowning

    I'm interested in an answer to this as well. I've always been curious about getting a realistic looking shot of water onto a model

    I need to shoot a monster transformation scene

    If you wanted something really visual, in my opinion, you could always get away with doing the extreme closeups of the girl transforming. For example, a closeup of the eyes, maybe just some basic VFX work to "transform" them a bit. The good thing about those shots is you can even get away with...

    FPS for an action scene?

    Experiment. Also try experimenting with the shutter speed, faster speeds could give you that really edgy/intense look.

    watch Got a problem guys!

    Whoa, trippy. Unfortunately, I can't be much of help with this (I don't use Final Cut). But, I was having a problem a while back where the frames would kind of skip or go back and forth REALLY quickly though. Turned out to be a rendering error on my part. I had loaded 24f footage into a 25f...

    THE DARK KNIGHT RISES - New Trailer

    I'm highly anticipating this as well. That's an understatement, actually. I wasn't too big on Chris Nolan a few years ago, I didn't know who he was or anything. I had previously refused to watch Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, thinking I was going to have to endure another Batman & Robin...

    Another noobie short film - please give feedback

    I agree with Walter. It was comical indeed. Just my opinion: at 0:09 shot, have the camera focus on his "action hand"/left hand to show off that killer uber-micro!

    any tips on how my scene flows?

    That was pretty good, man! I think you did a good job tying the shots together, another thing that helps with that is sound bleed/tie over (a sound is played from the end of one shot into the beginning of another. I know I'm forgetting the proper term here). Sound has a way of playing tricks on...

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    One of my favorites! The music + the ending sequence = win.

    How are the gun props at shortyusa.com?

    There are a few sites that have shell-ejecting guns, they even have somewhat of a muzzle flash and they smoke also, yet they're extremely quiet and don't fire blank rounds. They're a bit pricey depending on where you look for them, I usually check out evike and redwolfairsoft. If you can figure...

    Production Diary: The Kohlman Files

    This looks awesome! I find myself drawn into the old factory/refinery styled places, looks great!

    Michael Caine on acting (link)

    I love Michael Caine. This guy's voice isn't as precise as these other guys, but it's still funny. Whoever did Mr. Hoskins in this video was pretty spot on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdBZ3Pg0-OM

    What makes a movie funny?

    What trends do you notice in your favorite comedies? For me, I tend to watch a lot of sitcoms, series, and movies that have a lot of improv in them. For me, it's usually situations or subjects that I can relate to, which I find funny. With the improv on top of it, the conversations seem more...

    a new guy from California.

    Hey all, I am a new guy from the SF Bay Area in California who is venturing into film making. I don't have the finances to take classes or go to school for it, but thanks to the wonderful tool that is reading, I've decided to give it a go! I've been self-taught in all of my hobbies (mostly...
