Try story boarding the story out. That will help refine your vison, it will also make it easier to tel if it makes sense or not. Once you have it storyboarded the next best place to take it is to draw up a floor map of all the shots you want. From there you can schedule and prioritise.

i shot a short on 16mm and the crew was about 8 people. it was a good number for what we were acomplishing. Other 16 project that I have worked on this year had ridiculous amounts of people on set. I think 30 was the most! oh that sucked, But I agree with the others. The key players you are...

your scripts are definately long enough. As long as the wtory is short and sweet then you'll have no problems. It's actually ebtter to start off small. Nobody should attemp an 120 page script without any experience.

Your a professional Writter when you get paid for your script, if the project is green lit you still may not be paid. If you get paid more power to ya, you are now a professional and eligible for unions.

Yes Yes Digital Cinematography works just fine.

M. Night Shyamalan Peter Jackson Quentin Tarantino These three gentlemen know how to tell a story. I don't think they represent whatever it was you asking about. But in my opinion these three men are men to be studied because they know how to tell a good story. Thats what film making...

The way I do gun shots is in After Affects after it's all been shot. Depending on what you are shooting the firecracker bit may not work. If you are shooting 16 or 35 then you have to make sure that the timing of the flash is synced with the camera. It all depends on the camera as well. If...

I think it would be a good Idea since there is such a huge difference in that way you have to shoot for film and DV.

All of my film projects are school under takings. I actually have learned a lot about making films. Not so much in the technical aspects but more so in the aspect of telling a good story. I took cinematography last semester and I learned a lot about film. But most of my knowledge just...

I don't know if I would call Rodriguez a guru, your right in that. But I think what makes El Mariahi Such a cool thing is that he made it for 7 grand. It 's an example of what someone can do with little to no money. Rodriguez is very creative in the way he shoots so that he saves money. I...
