Awesome! Thanks for sharing and keeping us motivated. Would love to hear more of your story! Maybe we will cross paths in person again in the near future. Will definitely shoot some hard questions your way. Can't wait to learn. Thanks!

It stands for Director of Photography. Other terms also used is DP.

Kim Welch would love to grab a coffee with you next time we are in the same part of the country. MooiFilm.Com If by me not being a filmmaker you mean I don't pay my bills by selling movies, editing movies, developing creative concepts for clients, shooting content, etc. then we have a very...

MooiFilm.Com it doesn't sound like you would be the most enjoyable person to sit down to have a cup of coffee with. I think there is a big difference between success=rich and success=sustainability. I know a lot of filmmakers that love their career and are "sustainable" -- they can pay their...

There are a few places. I used to go to a website called Drew's Script-o-Rama, not sure if it is still up. Another is IMsDb (internet movie script database) But my favorite is look to see who is trying to get Oscar nominations for screenplay, find the "for your consideration" website and they...

Looks like it is one of Sony's old LANC style control cables. I don't think I've seen those since people started really using DSLRs. They used to be pretty common with home video cameras. Not really that popular anymore especially with WiFi capabilities. Were big in the late 90s early 2000s.

"Like Crazy" was also shot on the Canon 7D.

You may have missed your opportunity to go to your professor and ask for a replacement because the audio engineer is not doing their job. What you could do is try to do the work yourself. Maybe tell your professor the dilema you are in and that due to the deadline you will be finishing the...

can you get a shot of the machine clean (without any hands) just in case it works as a POV shot of the character before they touch it? You might even be able to get away with shooting that indoors.

If you have time for a pickup shot, could you use someone else's hands on the machine and do it in a close up. If it is still raining you could maybe find some place under cover that matches the ground where you originally shot. If those aren't possibilities, sound effects can do wonders for...

Hey Filmmakers, I decided that this month, August 2017, I am going to challenge myself to write the first draft of my next feature. I thought I would pass on the invite to whoever wanted to join me. If you start using #scriptmonth in your twitter posts and include a script title I will do my...

Finally tested out Simon Says. The concept is cool, but to be honest, I got better transcription from just uploading to YouTube and letting it do the auto transcribe...and that is free. For transcriptions I need timecode specific notation, so having my transcripts start at 00:00 doesn't help...

I guess then, with the "can, do. can't, teach." theory would mean all those involved in Mastercass (masterclass.com) don't know what they are talking about? (Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Spacey, Aaron Sorkin, David Mammit, Werner Herzog, Hans Zimmer, Steve Martin, etc) They are teaching, right?

You are right, real world experience is the best way to learn, but it is only part of the puzzle. It is like building a house before you have learned design techniques figuring that by building 10 houses you will learn them. You will learn them, most likely, but wouldn't it be faster to go...

Cool subject, n7. Theory is a really great way to help develop your creative voice. Maybe look for some books on editing today to see how the process has changed and remained the same. Some newer books you could check out are Edit Better (thepoweredit.com) or Inside The Edit...
