Thanks guys. I'll definitely look into finding a free recording of a classical piece.

This question is in regards to both the online contests here at studentfilmmakrs.com and the use of unoriginal music in film in general. I know that specif permission is needed to use copyright music, which I'm guessing is not permitted in a film submitted to the contest. However, is it legal...

Hey, and welcome to the forums. Yes, still photography does help one understand the concepts of lighting. However, taking a basic cinematography/film class would cover the basic of lighting anyway, so i say go with the film class. Fortunetly, my dad is ( or was) a professional photographer...

Does anyone know of any simple ways to raise money for a film?

Ok heres the deal. My sony digital 8 died on me about a week ago (piece of sh**). Anway, it would have cost over $250 to fix it, so i said screw them, i'll just buy another camera (on eBay.) I got my new camera, much better than the SOny, blah blah blah. There's one problem. The tape that was...

I've been using Premeire Pro to edit, or at least trying to. The rendering process is so ridiculously long, i cant seem to get anything done. Is the rendering process on Avid or FCP faster and more efficient, or will i find it to be slow on all professional editing software? -Mark

I'm using Premiere Pro and After Effects to edit my films. I haven't had much experince with After Effects, and i'm sure this one shot in my new film would require the use of it. It involves a ghost throwing a glass, so we basically just see the glass fly. Can anyone tell me exactly how this can...

You would be right in most cases. However, the cast has not even read the script and only have a vague idea of the story. I don't think they lost interest in making THIS film, but just making films in general. I guess theres nothing left to do but find new actors . . .

My cast is having second thoughts about making an upcoming film. They are my friends, so they're my only hope for making the film. What can i do to keep them in the production? Peace

For those of you who use storyboards, who draws them up for you? A friend? Professional? You? Peace

Printed out the perfected script today (not the one above) and registered it on the Writers Guild (highly recommended). Just a quick question to those of you who use storyboards: Who draws them for you? A friend? Professional? You? Peace

Here's the rest of the script. Feedback please :) EXT. RIDGE ROAD – DAY Two teenage boys ride their bikes down the hill on their way home from a repair shop in the next town. One has tan skin, resembles the epitome of an Italian, and has a guitar strapped to his back – Daniel Pascarelli...
