When you're writing a screenplay you shouldn't write the directions/ what it's going to look and cut like. Just write the dialogue and direct the cam op/work with the DoP/Cinematographer when you're planning the scenes and shooting. It'll save you a lot of time writing.

This is a film I shot in 3 hours as part of a 24 hour film challenge (We were delayed by hours, supposed to start nearly 5 hours before) on 25th July 2015. The editor had no experience (She's an actor and the odd time Director) I think shbe did quite well. Normally I'd have weeks beforehand to...

Has anyone here had experience with VoD? I've been looking into it and I can't seem to find much in regard to it's worth as a distribution platform. Has anyone here used it and if so is it worth the price of a pro account (€159 p/y)? Thanks in advance, Andy

That guy seems to be a bit of a waffler. I've traveled with my dslr's on flights and never had this. I remember reading an article on this particular subject and this particular guy. You need a lot more gamma rays to kill pixels, much more than you could ever get on a plane. If I find the...

I would use them in a narrative as a backup for the boom or vice versa. If in a narrative just make sure they're well hidden.

That was pretty good.

Hey Hermit, I used to use a Canon HF G25 and found it was quite good for mini-documentaries and micro budget stuff, but it was lacking in a few places. (Such as no XLR ports) If you have XLR you can save a fair bit of time (& money) in post. Also the handle on the XA20 is very handy for...

Hey everyone, What are the contents of your filmmaking kit and what is it mainly used for? I'm a firm believer in only use what you need and my kit does me for every occasion that has arisen so far. My kit: Cameras: Panasonic GH4 with cage (mainly used for corporate and documentary) Canon 60D...

I wish I had of known about this in November. It would have helped to no end. :lol:

Very cool. I gave it a like.

The BMPCC I think is a bad choice on a lower budget. As it's probably been said millions of time here, the batteries are terrible. The quality of the BMPCC is brilliant but I find the battery thing a huge hindrance during a shoot. 15-20 mins per battery, even with switching the camera off as...

I have a Canon 60D and a Panasonic GH4 and for a lot of jobs I go with the Canon. As the previous posters said, it all depends on what you need. A lot of the corporate jobs I do just need a basic 720p or 1080p web output so I go with the 60D. If they need more I'll use the GH4. For a lot of...

I used my 60D to shoot a feature recently. I have a GH4 as well but went with the Canon. Just make sure you have good lighting and it should turn out looking great.

Lol, Thanks. :D

Lol, don't really like the whole salesman dishonesty and spins. I was testing low light and used what I had, I think that's what indie filmmaking is all about. :) I'm not really looking for criticism on the short as a whole, more the the shots i've taken. It's been a long time since I've had...

The other night I was messing with my camera and filmed a short 'observational documentary' type thing. I was just testing low light capabilities and threw a few of the clips together with some music and made up a story to what means after the fact. lol Anyway, it's the first thing I've made...

Welcome along Cathal, What part of Ireland are you from?

I used to skate & I still ride BMX. I really enjoyed that. Thought it was done very well.

Very little dslr experience. Thanks again everyone..

Didn't actually stalk that far but thanks for showing me those. Everyone else, thanks for the camera help. It's appreciated. No one really touched on this camera: Sony HXR-MC2000E (Sony HXR-MC2000U for US). I've see a few documentaries shot with it & I thought it was quite a good look, but i'd...
