I switched over to a Sony mirrorless about six years ago (a6300), but the rest of the family still sometimes used the Canon (my wife because she likes to stick with what she knows, and one of my kids also was trying to start a YouTube channel for a while). There are a few things the Canon and...

Mostly on eBay, but if you're local there's some other/larger stuff I'd be happy to have someone pick up. More to come, probably. https://www.ebay.com/sch/fightdesigner/m.html?item=265836045612&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2562 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/375597071416671

1981... it's synth. Keep in mind, this is the year before Blade Runner came out. Edit - I stand corrected. There's an almost stereo-chorus-effect quality to it, but I guess it's just the orchestra (woodwinds and whatnot).

In filmmaking, most jobs are short jobs...

Have a plan. Friend of mine died on a set that was shooting out in the middle of nowhere... basically a heart attack as I recall (this was like 15 years ago) and they just couldn't get help in time. Know where the closest hospital is, have a good first aid kit handy and a trained & designated...

Thanks for looking at my profile! I'm an actor, stunt performer, and fight coordinator, and I run a prop weapons rental business, www.fightdesigner.com

As a filmmaker, VR experiences can also mean zero ability to dictate focus, frame composition, etc... basically you're making a video game, not a movie. That said, the tech from VR is also being used more and more in creating traditional 2D entertainment (or 3D, to a lesser extent, but it does...

Another thing to consider: Apart from straight-up 360 video, the tools used to create VR experiences are used for things besides VR content. The same 3d CGI models you'd use in a VR video game are what they use in movies and tv shows. The same 3d virtual world you'd move around in for a VR video...

Check out the new intensive tracks they're running at CombatCon this year, including concurrent writing, filmmaking, stunt, and martial arts intensives (which will all interact!). https://www.combatcon.com/intensives

Here's my current local group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/163795573712095

I suspect the closest analogue for unaffiliated (i.e. not part of a particular college or school) filmmaking clubs would be the Indieclub groups. Unfortunately it's not really interconnected anymore, but there are local groups scattered around the country. I know there was an active one in...

Thanks Fred! Glad it resonated!

The two main advantages of purpose-made blank guns over real guns with blanks, if you really want to go with blanks: Legality. Not legally firearms, so can ship to your home, be handled by an actor who can't legally be in possession of a firearms (depending on your local laws, anyway), can be...

3d printing holds so much promise... but in my limited experience, I'd just say don't count on it being a magic replicator. Count on many hours of cursing when the technology doesn't work like you want it to, and your plastic bits warp, are just piles of plastic spaghetti, crack, or have other...

I've been playing a little with using motion capture as a pedagogical tool for my Movement classes for actors, but would love to look into actual projects they could work on. Anyone out there teach an animation or character design class or game design class, or work on stuff like that, who'd be...
