Not sure why you think only "professionals" are capable of doing long takes. As already said, it's less about the equipment, and more about the skill of the people involved. A lot of planning and rehearsal needed. Since you're talking about fight scenes, I've done a few long take sequences...

I participated in another Four Points Flim Project this year Requirements Genre: Sports Film Character: Phillip Powanda, Hypnotherapist Prop: Food Container Line: "It's never done that way." or "It is never done that way." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwC9rbgPL7I This was probably one of...

You know... there are a lot of movied that many film heads consider classics and masterpieces that I just don't care about or care to even watch. Citizen Kane Clockwork Orange There Will Be Blood just to name a few. I then realized that it's all subjective and I stopped caring about reviews...

I usually lean towards Disney or Pixar films. It's PG, but if you're only showing one then I recommend Inside Out. Doesn't really have anything to do with foster kid problem, but it does deal with what kids go through when moving to a new city.

Well that's unfortunate. You literally stopped right before the heart of the short. I hope you actually take a chance to watch it again or at least the second half of it.

Jabronie Pictures in collaboration with Almost Good Films has once again participated in the San Diego 48 Hour Film Fest. Genre: Vacation or Holiday Film Character: Fernando/Fernanda Huerto, LIFEGUARD Line of Dialogue: That is/That's outside my comfort zone Prop: Cardboard box...

Thank you for bringing up pro wrestling. It usual gets a bad rep amongst the stunt community, but having the background really helps when it comes to fight scenes.I'm just happy that it has been getting more recognition in hollywood. Especially when Black Widows moveset is wrestling based. And...

I have one friend that used to use After Effects as his primary editor. But that's beside the point. In terms of best, it's whatever can accomplish your needs.

I still use Audacity for music edits just because of comfort level. For sake of filming, I use Premiere for audio.

It was already mentioned but "Arrested Development" had hilarious use of VO. It ended up being its own character to an extent. And their recut of their 4th season ended up adding dialogue to poke fun of the original cut. Obviously that's what you're not going for but it works if you're going...

As suggested, I think having a separate audio recorder recording the audio is the best way. It doesn't even have to be clean as your main recorder should be doing that. Your main concern is the dialogue itself and not the picture. As yes, recording the dialogue in advance, reversing it, and then...

This reminds me of a time where I was working on a series and an intimate scene was written in. It was going to be implied but not actually shown. It got to a point where the director joked that it was for the views. The actress got upset and dropped out mid series. The story was being written...

Well... it's certainly a start. Eye contact is key when it comes to fight scenes. You need to have the hits cross the camera more. Meaning they need to extend their strikes past the persons face. Aim the punches more towards the side of the face /above the shoulders. It'll cross camera better...

5 years in the making? Regardless, technical problems usa0ually tend to be the same for new filmmakers.

There is an upside to this. It will challenge people to create more content and to be creative. I can't be the only one that is annoyed by videos that get millions of views made with little to no effort, while people like us who put in a lot of heart and effort into our work barely gets viewed...

I've done this before where the footage was 1080 but I had to convert everything down to 720 just to edit, and replace the when ready to export.

I too was going to suggest HitFilm. It feels like Premiere or older versions of FinalCut so there may be a little of a learning curve for your dad, but if he was already working with Windows Movie Maker, then there should be no reason for him to want to explore and adjust.

I don't know what I just watched but that was visually interesting. What tunnel did you film in? Also, were you going for a trailer like edit because it felt a little bit like a commercial.

We did 4 takes. If I remember correctly, in the edit the front half is from take 4 while the ending is from take 3. The cut happens after the thugs get out of the car and the thug in the jacket passes the camera (you'll notice the cut if you pay attention to the background). We liked take 4...

The main trick is for the actors not talk over each others lines. Break it up into parts if necessary. If you know you're gonna be cutting back and forth, then you don't have to record each angle in a single take. Does it help to do it in single takes for consistency sake? Yes, but actors get...
