that would be considered a B list actor.

I am about to try attaching some tallent to my film. I am currently practicing my pitch but was curious of who the better person to contact would be - the manager or the agent. My approach will be to get the manager/agent as excited about the project as I am to the point where they will try...

Not that anyone cares, but I am getting quite a few leads on finacing for my feature and the amounts are more the just a few thousand dollars. If anyone feels discouraged about not having money to shoot, then don't. If I am getting leads, and I am by far the worst fund raiser I have ever met...

I have just posted the website for a feature that I will be shooting in June. Check it out at http://bounty.stgham.com The site contains information about the story, cast/crew, budget/financing, bounty store (online fundraising store) and a production journal documenting the progress of the...

I am in the pre-production stages of a feature that I am shooting in June. I have set up a fund raising website as part of the films website. Check it out and share it with your friends. http://bounty.stgham.com/bountystore.html

I happen to work at one of the larger post facilities in Hollywood, we at least are in the top 4 or 5 as well as one of the forerunners in digitial filmmaking.....for post at least. Out of the 30 or more shows we get I can only think of 5 shows off the top of my head that shoot video. Everyone...

I shall explain what kind of recording restraints it has cornered itself into. Yes it does claim to be able to record 1080p and 1080i with options of frame rates as well as 720p and SD. The restraints lie in how it is recorded. For example, let's say you want to record 720/24p and you have...

Maybe, but I've talked with this guy before and he may run sales but he probably has more technical knowledge about the mechanics of the equipment then most of us do. I tend to trust his judgement more than most. But as I was saying there are a lot of factors to consider. I personally am not...

The test I was talking about was done by Birns and Sawyer in Hollywood about a week ago. From what I heard from the sales guy who was running the thing is that he thought that the JVC and Canon out performed the Panasonic by leaps and bound. He was surprised because the footage from the HVX200...

There actually has been a test done on the XLH1, HD100U and the protoype HVX by Panasonic (which does not even have their 24p option working yet from what I've been told). My concerns are more with resolution. Especially when you are deinterlacing a 1080i signal as opposed to working with a...

Any insights as to which camera is a better choice. I am shooting a feature in June and will be purchasing a camera but I am uncertain as to which one I will be going with. The main issue that I see is the Progressive vs. Interlaced. Any insight would be greatly appricated.

Laser Pacific in Hollywood works great with independent films. Also, this is the downtime so you very likely could score a crazy deal. The website is www.laserpacific.com and the phone number is 323-462-6266 and then ask for sales and explain your situation. Email normally takes a long time...

I am getting really close to finish my short and just got the website up. Check it out at http://www.stgham.com/trash.html For any of you who are interested in what the DVX looks like uprezed to HD then check out the trailer on the site. I have a version on the trailer in Windows Media HD -...

I personally think that there is no set formula to how to become a director. Sure there are people who transition from one field to another but it all comes down to one thing. If you want to direct, then just direct something. To say that it is best to transition from editing into directing...

thanks for the input, all very valid. Actually for the song, I am not using that in the film at all. I have some friends that might be scoring it and we will be recording with a live orchestra. Sound, well that is definately not the final mix. I think that a lot of the loss in quality has...

So I am a bit excited about completing almost 20 pages of a script in three days as well as being fairly happy with the way the project is turning out. So I thought I would let the filmmaker community here know about it and possibly give some input on the little bit that they can see. All I...

So I have a great script and I have actors that I want to pitch the project to and their Agent's contact info and their Managers contact info. Who should I talk to and what is the best thing to say, especially if it is my first time writing and directing a feature and my only experience is with...

You're right, it is the CMOS sensors - to add to the abilities with CMOS sensors I read that they have the ability to refresh at different rates, meaning they are capable of shoting in variable frame rates - possibilities of "real" slowmotion. Anyway, thanks for catching that - I forgot about that.

I was reading in an article that what they have the camera do for the "simulated" 24p mode is the have the camera drop every 5th frame that it records, so in a 1 second period of recording at 30 fps it will drop 6 frames - 30 - 6 = 24. If that is true it is in a way 24 fps but not really 24...

The Duel, Well, to tell you the truth. The short didn't really do it for me. Other than the fact that it was a duel, was there any story to it? You said to critic the heck out of it so I guess I will do so as nicely as possible. There were a few times where you broke the line in you...
