You might wanna rethink www.makingfilms.com - it leads to a site already...

Indie means independent. As in not within the studio system.

Alright lets give this a go then: A) BlueSmoke 4ever - I actually preferred this one to their latest one. http://www.bluesmoke.org.uk/downloads5.htm B) Aliens - What every sequel should try to live up to. C) John Waters - Although my favourite film of all time isn't one of his, he is one of the few ...

No, If I remember rightly, Lloyd did the lve action intros but Dan Castellaneta did the cartoon of the Doc...

It's the american version of the Canon XM2 - a very good camera indeed. Retails for around £1500 here in the UK...

You're kidding right?!? Aliens, Godfather part 2, Dawn of the Dead '78, Terminator 2... well, they're the only ones I can think of right now and I'm sure that a lot of sequels are pure trash but it's not ALWAYS the case...

Oh, I dunno. Updating them for the audience of today isn't always a bad thing. And I wouldn't call Charlie and the Chocolate factory a remake (it's just another adaotation of the book) and isn't Herbie fully Loaded an actual sequel? i'm pretty sure it follows in continuity from the others...

Why would you not? You hear EXACTLY what the mic hears, so you can avoid any nasty surpirises when listening back to the audio...

Well, for my film we're going to be using a portable minidisc recorder with noise-cancelling headphones. We picked the recorder up off eBay for £12...

Kodak.com is a great place to start but to be honest, just try eBay. That's where I've bought most of my super8mm and 16mm film from. Whether or not 8mm has sound depends on the camera, mine's silent but I'm just gonna record sound seperately and synch up later...

Same here. I don't understand anyone who doesn't own a multi-region player...

I'm with Foxwood. Final Draft is fairly pricey but it is industry standard and so easy to use. I've never used anything else since getting my copy...

My personal list: 1.Evil dead 2 (campbell,speigel,Raimi and Nicotero) 2.Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Hansen,Pearl and Hooper) 3.Evil dead (Campbell) 4.Joyride (Zahn/sobieski/Dahl) 5.Evil Dead 3 (Campbell and Raimi) 6.From Dusk Till Dawn (Rodriquez and QT)-QT's first commentary 7.Mallrats (Smith/Affleck...

man hit in groin by football... well, it worked on the Simpsons!

How about PI by Darren Aranofsky? That's a movie about maths and it's great...

Have to agree. Just use Firefox, I've had no problems with so far...

Downloading it now...

I have a Bolex 16mm camera but have yet to use it. I have the film but it's finding the time and the money for the processing fees...
