Boy oh boy, temp music can be a curse! I have finished shooting a straight8 (straight8.net) for 2012 and the temp track we used, "Shuang Shuang Yan" by Deng Bai Ying, is so so so so much better than anything else we try, it's torture. So I have tried searching for Chinese music and song in the...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290631312636#ht_4697wt_1139 Selling my Nikon R10. My buddies and I are pooling funds to make a major camera purchase, so this is a sad day. :( I just shot a wedding with it. Like two weeks ago. here is part of the final product...

In February I shot a Straight8 short film with the amazing Nikon R10. It was the very first Super8 work I tackled. Because our second shot was messed up, we ditched the 500t cartridge we had and started over with the only other film stock in the house, a 160t Tri-X reversal. Not knowing if it...

Straight8 has been very frustrating for me. Loooooong waiting being the culprit. Anyway, we shot a one take (using take 3, if you get my meaning) Straight8 back in March or April (it's been so long, I cannot even remember) and it didn't make the cut. Last week I learned why. For some reason...

Straight8 has been very frustrating for me. Loooooong waiting being the culprit. :grumpy: Anyway, we shot a one take Straight8 back in March or April (it's been so long, I cannot even remember) and it didn't make the cut. Last week I learned why. For some reason, the sound was faster than the...

To all New Yorkers, I would love to have you attend the screening of my three short films this July 29th, in NYC at the TriCeCa Grand Hotel's Grand Screening Room. The event will begin at 7:00 (check-in) with the films screening from 7:30 to 7:55 PM. You can RSVP via the link below. Anyone...

Hey everybody. I am lucky enough to have been picked by After-Set.com for a screening on July 29th. Normally they give two to three filmmakers an evening to share, but they were awesome enough to give me the evening to myself and my three short films. I, of course, asked my buddy Matt Fuller...

Crazy story, but the camera expert who was going to help me tomorrow just left a voicemail. Death in the family. He's gotta fly to France. Sorry. Ouch. That sucks for him. And for me, well, I have never shot a DSLR in lower light like this by myself. I absolutely MUST get the shot tomorrow...

I've got a conundrum. My first short film was shot on Super16. I have a 35mm blow-up print from the A/B/C rolls. I have no transfer, other than VHS from Avid (yuck). Transferring from the original Super16 is considerably more expensive than from a 35mm print. Because of the extreme cost, it is...

So I shot a short film back in January. Then did some re-shoots months later. We used a Canon 7D and I must say, sometimes DSLR is gold and sometimes it's fools gold. All in all, I am happy with this scene. Sound is not fully mixed yet and we have not color graded. But here it is anyway...

So I was finally able to finish shooting my Super8 short film late last month. The 10 rolls (a single Ektachrome 100D and nine 500t neg: one from Pro8 and the others from kodak) were developed at Pac-Lab in NYC (I had some issues with them involving lack of customer care that I won't get into...

So I was walking around NYC one day and saw this guy flat out gawking at women's asses. It was so blatant as to be funny. It got me thinking. So I wrote down an idea on my Blackberry's memo pad and decided to shoot it. Grabbed my buddy, Morgan, who had appeared in a short I shot a week...

Okay, I think I have been setting up my projects incorrectly. But everything I read is conflicting and I am more lost now than ever. I have Adobe CS5. Premiere Pro has a window that pops up when you want to create a new project. I need help setting that up. I have three drives. C: My SSD...

This is the one that is under 4100 with numerous positive reviews. http://www.amazon.com/M-Audio-Affordable-Capsule-Cardioid-Microphone/dp/B0002X869M What I need is the ability to record sound via a microphone, directly into my PC via Soundbooth. Just got CS5. This microphone looks to be...

I saw something online the other day where via an XML file you can take your project that was created and edited in Final Cut pro and then switch over and use CS5. When I tried to Google this I just got a zillion pages of CS5 vs. FCP. No surprise there. Now I just got CS5. It's the...

First of all, apologies for asking yet another question. I feel like all i do i ask questions here. I have researched and read and am so far not finding an answer. I'm having some test footage shot on Super8 transfered as I type this (at 1080i) and will receive the files on a hard drive in...

Hi gang, everything about my new (to me) Nikon R10 checks out, other than the Exposure dial or adjustment control. The milled ring is stuck in the 0 (normal) position and cannot seem to be moved in either direction. Is there a certain trick to moving it? I'm stumped. Picture of part in...

Gang, I have searched and researched, but it is hard to know what is real and what are fake reviews online. I'll be shooting two entries for the Straight8 contest, one will have fairly simple music and the other needs a robust soundtrack featuring music and a lot of sounds of NYC (cars...

OK gang, my DP used to edit and we are working on the final cut of our short in, yes, Final Cut (latest version). However, when I look at the slow motion stuff (footage we shot at 720p 60fps) on the rendered movies we make to view at home, well, it isn't smooth. I see stuff on YouTube way...

Well, it's snowing and I am hoping it stop tonight so no one has an excuse not to show up tomorrow! I'll be shooting my first short in many moons Saturday and Sunday. It's a 5 minute comedic short with four speaking parts, three main actors and a small crew. We are shooting on a Canon 7D and...
