I've been directing since 2002 and have a decent line of work. I often bring my friend to set to help me on shoots. He has the look of a director (simple clothes, director hat, facial hair, etc.) He likes to recite a lot of facts from 1960s-1990s films. Maybe that's impressive? He just started...

I mentioned in the first post, besides lighting. Lighting is 70% of it. But I'm talking, how do you guys in Premiere (harder) or After Effects (easier) composite the subject into the background to make it look professional. I'm imagining this for fantasy landscapes, bringing a person into a...

Other than lighting? I can get a clean key using After Effects or even Premiere. However, it still looks "cut out" not like it's in the scene. The lighting matches well but I see this clear distinction between my subject and the plate/background Feels like I have to round the edges but it...

Funny you mentioned this fight scene because in an interview the actor playing Liu Kang told the director "Hey you know can say cut right?" It was then that the director realized you don't do all-the-way-through takes. They used a Dolly for a lot of the wide profile shots. I think they used...

So here's the update: It turned out to be a flight of ideas that he had. The reason why I freaked out was because he DID something like this once before and we really had to have a sit down to resolve the issue. I think he realized he got wrapped up in his idea of having it star two pop stars...

Originally it was me as the lead, I've spent 10 years acting and 15 years in action training. Then I said ok, we could create a leading female part and give that to the soap opera star. Her main rival / her antagonist could be the martial instagram viral girl. I think that'd be perfect. But...

It's tricky because we were both going to produce it and put the money up for it. He has more money than I do. I wish there was a way to have a plan B. Like maybe I can build connections with another producer/director? My friend is a little socially awkward and maybe didn't realize what's he...

Me and my friend are both directors. I'm a director with a specialty in action and acting. He's a director that specializes in VFX. We've been working on a project for two years. Our plan was to make a small budget movie in Asia. I told him about a concept for a movie I wanted to act in and...
