It's my opinion that you should NEVER pay someone to read your script. Using sites like Zoetrope that will do it for free and getting peer reviews is much better. I don't think anything good can come from these script doctoring sites and they all come across as scammy (scam like?) because they...

Solely based on you list, this one is the winner. The DSLR still cameras that shoot HD video are also good, minus audio inputs.

You can add the basic shapes of the question/answer boxes in Photoshop, then add the text in Premiere and add each text bit for each box as needed.

Yes, practice. Do rehearsals with the actors, just you and them - no production crew, no producers, etc. Play acting games with them like the old ACTOR 1 What's that? ACTOR 2 What? ACTOR 1 That! ACTOR 2 Nothing Making it a game, where they have to create the scenario and whatever "that" is...

This contest really has become a spotlight for emerging talent, even though a lot of ad agency make commercials for this now. Some amateurs are making truly amazing and funny commercials for this contest. I love it.

Keying out greenscreen is tricky business. There are so many factors to doing this well. Making sure that you light the subject to match the lighting of the eventual background, perspective, camera angles for both shots, and this is all outside of the software. Adobe After Effects has one of...

Lately I've been devouring HOUSE M.D. - the pilot was directed by BRYAN SINGER and the season finale last year was shot entirely with Canon 5D DLSR's.... it's one of the best written shows and the camera work done on it now is spectacular. It seems like a lot of great work is being done on TV...

Yes, it was still good, but that first season was GREAT and I would even say perfect, nearly flawless. They never lost the quality of production, just the writing never recovered from what they were going to do before the writer's strike. The 2nd season they were supposed to do 6 bonus...

I have no idea why...
