I just got the August edition of Student Filmmaker magazine and I must say I am very impressed. I think the article about keeping a "Video sketchbook" is brilliant. I've always thought that filmmakers, like artists, must do sketches and studies in addition to their larger projects. Writing pages...

For all of you people out there with an audience, how did you get your movies seen in the first place? Did you submit them to film festivals? Did you put them online? How can I get people to watch my movies? I put links up, but who wants to sit and watch a twenty minute long video while...

I'd like to bring to people's attention a cliche that is featured in many short films. Why is it that so many people start their movies with someone waking up in bed, punching their alarm clock and then going through their morning routine? I've probably seen eight shorts in the past few weeks...

Maybe somebody already did this post, and maybe it's a bit broad, but here is a list of my favorite movies (in the order I think of them) Badlands City Lights Bottle Rocket The Fisher King Breathless Manhattan Annie Hall Broadway Danny Rose The Big Lebowski This is Spinal Tap Sweet and Lowdown...

I couldn't really tell you why, but I like this movie a great deal. There is something about DVD's, they personalize movies in an interesting way. I know it's basically not a very good movie (I think it's probably Cameron Crowe's fantasy of what he wishes his life was), but for some reason I...

I agree completely. I'm glad Gus Van Sant is trying new things (like making movies where nothing happens) and he is good at creating moods, but I think that is one of the big problems with movies today. All anyone wants to do is create a mood, nobody really knows how to tell a story, beat by...

Nice to meet you Gina. Glad to see you have an interest at that age. Stick with it!

Re: Submitting your Film for Spielberg's ON THE LOT Re: Submitting your Film for Spielberg's ON THE LOT Yeah but you couldn't really ask for better exposure.

Re: moments Re: moments I've made three or four little video sketches and whatnot. The pace drags and the script could've used extensive revisions beforehand, but like I said it was meant more as a learning experience than as a releaseable product. I am looking for other sites where I could...

I have just finished my first short video. It isn't very good, but I would like people to watch it and give me feedback. I shot it on a Panasonic GS250. The sound quality is pretty poor and some of the lighting is pretty atrocious but I think there are moments. It comes in at almost exactly 20...

I purchased a Panasonic GS250 3ccd camera last september for seven hundred dollars. I know someone selling a Canon GL1 for six hundred dollars. I have used my Panasonic for probably 20-30 hours and the Canon has been used for 100 hours. Here are my questions: 1. Is the Canon GL1 a higher...
