I know this has sort of been covered before, but I want to clear a few things up. In my short film I have mistakenly caught a few brand names and logos. One is of a major skate company's hat - the words are visible at some points. Another is an emblem on the front of a car. A license plate...

Would hanging band posters and them being shown on screen be okay? Also, would saying a bands name be a problem? What if the words New Kids on the Block were featured prominently on an item of clothing? I'm just not too sure if that kind of stuff is public domain and you are allowed to show...

Hi. So I will be shooting an entire 30 minute short film in an apartment in January. There are places where we just won't be able to fit big lights. Is it possible to light a hallway or small rooms with the practical light in the scene, such as the ceiling lights, without using other lights...

So i have gotten a hold of a camera jib / crane for a shoot this weekend and the next. I know that practicing with it will help, however, i was just wondering if anyone had any tips on using these. Obviously excellent for establishing shots, but how else could i benefit from this wonderful...

I am DOP on a short film. The director, the producer, and I have a little experience in production, but we are hiring other crew with expertise in their fields. We now have someone for sound. The person hired for sound has requested that the DOP know what to do for time code. I know what time...

So i have put some research into this but need some confirmation. This camera doesnt have true widescreen on the DVX100A but does the DVX100B have a makeshift 16:9 mode? When you import, does it import as 16:9? Will it play properly on a wide screen tv, or will it be letterboxed still? Thanks...

For my independent film we recently had a composer score a few things for us, and we really found it difficult to communicate what we wanted to music to sound like. I find it alot different than directing an actor. Anyone have hints or stories to tell? Thanks

Hello I'm looking to get a production logo created for the beginning of my feature film. I have tried a few things with Adobe Premiere Pro but I know i'm not going to get what I want. If anyone experienced in programs that would be very effective for this type of thing wishes to take a bit of...
