I agree with Asad. It's very subjective and taking screen grabs of images that you like will certainly help a lot. I personally love earth tones and primary colors and generally stick with those. I tend to be drawn towards blue a lot. I love the look of deep blue walls and was able to use them...

Yea after doing some research, I think it is banding. Started after I got footage back from color grader. Source is prores422 hq but got transcoded a few times in the process. Made some changes and now it only badly occurs in one spot (top picture). i believe I was exporting at max bit rate. Any...

Hey guys, I just exported my latest short and in several spots it has these weird lines and blurs on the walls. I've attached some screenshots so you can see what I'm talking about. I've exported an mp4 file and a H.264 mov file in best quality and both resulted with this. It is not present in...

Hey, Just got my color graded footage back and for some reason it is all a lot darker on my computer (and my buddies computer) but when I open it on my iPhone, it looks perfect. Could it be that our computer monitors are off? If that's the case, why are no other videos so dark? Very confused...

How did you feel after finishing your latest film? Hey, hope everyone is doing well. I am just finishing up my second short film and am extremely proud of it. It's a quirky little 10 minute comedic horror film and although I'm very proud, part of me is discontent. There are several things I...

Hey, I just shot a low budget commercial today for a small company that helps kids with the college application and admission process. In the commercial I show the logo of several good schools on acceptance letters. Is this legal to do and if not, what would the penalty be? It's not going on...

Hey guys, Does anyone happen to know where a there is a good fork in the road (preferably pavement and flat) in or around Los Angeles. Been searching for a few weeks but haven't found much. Thanks!

Hey directorik, Not nearly as concerned with it being widely loved (though thats a plus) then I am with loving it myself. I've done a bunch of projects and have loved all of them so far, even ones that weren't neccesarily greatly received. More of a personal need for myself to be proud of it...

Thanks Alcove. When I was doing the project, I was very excited and passionate about it. It was my first time trying this genre and was very experimental for me. It was only afterwards when all was said and done that it turned out less than I had hoped for. I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't...

Thanks for the quick responses guys. It's nice to know others were in the same boat. The reason I did this project was due to a girl I was dating. She was attached as the lead actress and producer and wanted me to direct it. The script was pretty bad so had some re-writes with the writer and had...

Hey guys, Little background on me. Never went to film school but made a lot of no budget contest entries and documentaries through college. Moved to LA right after. Made a low budget but widely loved music video and a few commercials that came out great. But my first short film, that was...

Hey guys, I have a couple short films that will be finished mid-January. We are using these to pitch our first feature film. I know you have to start small but wanted to know what you were able to raise for your first feature film and if you're willing to share, what route you went to secure the...

Thanks everyone. I'll check the rules at all the local festivals we submit to prior to posting. And yea I was planning on uploading to youtube at 1080p and then just share that link via facebook and Twitter. Thanks!

Hey everyone, Have two short films that will be finished in early January and want both to play the festival circuit. Was wondering if I was allowed to post said short films on facebook and Twitter prior to submitting to and playing in festivals. Assuming it's a no go but wanted to check if...

Ha! Yea lesson learned. Backed up all the footage twice and gave it to someone I trust. Happy to have learned the lesson without losing much

He had light, evenly spread scruff when I first met him. Seems as though he hadn't shaved since that day (exactly 1 week). We have had more issues with making this film than I have had in all my past projects combined. Most of which were things completely out of our control, though not all...

Update! Thanks for all the advice guys. After doing some more research on him, it looks as though his place of work is his own start up company that went under. Place is for rent. Got very worried (not that he wanted to steal my movie but that he wanted to pawn the drives for quick cash) so I...

Unfortunately no references. We posted an ad online and he seemed the most qualified based on his resume. He also owns a local media company (I know the address there too). I just emailed him again saying that's it's ok but I need to pick up the hard drives. Will try calling again today too...

Hey everyone, First post here. I just wrapped a mid sized budget short film and gave the footage to an asst editor to transcode and sync audio for our editor. He received the footage early last week and said it would only take a few days. On Sunday I asked for an update and received no...
