    cinema studies v. film production

    I dont think he ment in those terms exacly. His base of knownledge back in 1990 was most probably not Digital, maybe analogue, but the safest bet would be film bassed. There is a grave difference between digital and analogue. If you are shooting your shots with a handheld cam that has no...

    Near Broke Southern Screenwriter and aspiring producer...

    the best thing to do is to make your self a demo reel. So just put like 3 of your best films in a 6 minute reel for people to see your "skills" and then attach a letter of intent with your reel. Clearly state what you want to do, where you want to be in 5-10 years and what your passions are...

    concept for short/music video

    well the beauty of having your film on the more experimental side is that, it doesnt have to really make sence.... and what makes it interesting is seeing how you would merge scenes togeather. basicly experimental will leave you to be more creative because its forcing you to give it sence...

    concept for short/music video

    Your film shounds like a good idea for a personal project. But, I've got a few suggestions. Why not, instead of animating this with a fresh character, rip the video of all these great action films, and then play around with the image, SO MUCH so that we can bearly recognize it, but still make...

    syncing the mix

    your not thinking logically though.... Your film is running at 23.98 frames per second.... your sound is constant... not a frame per second thing, but a time/duration thing... so when you bring your sound back and forth from Pro-Tools to FCP, your sound stays the same, because the duration of...

    is this fx shot any good?

    ok.. if you want your gun shots to be seemless with your film, here are a few things which I notice offhand. When the shot goes off, the camera is stable... makes it easy to see the comp.
