Yeah. I've been doing extensive research, and it looks as if the Sony and Panny shoot in interlaced form. So I'll just set the Canon to 60i, and voila! Problem solved.

but does anyone have a typical youtube video to demonstrate someone who is acting as if reading from a script or who is not acting naturally in a video to show my point? Sure do! I am not proud to say this is mine...but that was filmed a year ago - I am proud at how far I have progressed, as well a...

Why not just shoot on one camera...? Normally I would, but we've got limited time, and we have to finish the scene on that day, with 3 hours. So naturally, it speeds up filming if there are multiple camera angles - therefore we don't have to shoot the same clip time and time again, each with a diff...

I am filming this Saturday, and for lack of similar equipment will be shooting with these 3 cameras. Now I know its silly to use a cheap Panny with the amazing Canon and Sony, but that's another story... My question: The Sony has the ability to shot 1080i. However, we will be using the DV option ins...

Alright, I'll keep that one in mind. We were thinking of having scenes with no zombies bright and maybe a little oversaturated, but scenes with zombies low saturation with the red sticking out...sort of like Sin City, but not as much black and white and red as less color and bright red. How can I ge...

Why not? I don't see anyone else...make a thread on it! Let's vote!

try a royalty free video site. I doubt anyone here has anything useful regarding what you want.

We film Saturday. I am only the filmmaker, so I have no idea if this is good or not, but this is our basic script. Can it be improved, and if so would you guys be willing to make it better, so I can let the scriptwriter know? Thanks --------------------- UNTITLED [It’s dark and looking down a...

Well damn, I guess I have to pack up the guns for a little while.

Loophole!

Maj Barnes, as a filmmaker is stuck in a military rut,

Make a cop or street gang movie, then it won't be military!

Looking good! How hard was it to get releases to set off explosives?

Yeah, I really do appreciate a good live effect. However, I find it exceedingly hard to set them up, so I have mainly relied on digital, although I would much prefer not to. Money and safety is just too high a priority for me. But in our upcoming zombie flick, we'll have live fx, so I'm looking forw...

Yea red tape! I've considered doing that for ours, but we start filming Saturday...how long does it take to get the permits?

Yep, no problem. Keep us posted!

Ok, well I am scheduled to go sailing Lake Erie this Sunday. I will be getting some footage for a Battle of 1812 doc at school. I doubt you will need anything, but if so, let me know and I will get some specific footage.

hmm...

...Yeah, now that you mention it, Zacatac...

Guess I won't be around long enough to see it poor me.

I don't just pretend to be darth vader and go light-saber someone. Isn't acting about pretending?? Yeah rhys, well, my actors don't go around pretending to be karate kids or clones. Well, I'll let you go off and pretend to be a vampire now. I now can't wait for your film - with all the thinking tim...

OK. The contest continues until the 15th of July. Get those scripts in!

Do you even pretend to have a brain anymore, lol! Are you purposely trying to cause trouble rhys?? We are are all filmmakers, supposedly sharing advice and tips... and you are setting yourself up for a fall if you continue... So please stop, kid. http://www.videomaker.com/article/3525/ While there ...

Congrats! It just takes knowing the right people, I guess.

Alright! After much hard work, we are getting some press release on this! The MH site is listed, too! http://www.umvfx.com/hoban/pictures/press%20001%20copy.jpg http://www.ohio.com/images/ohio/ohio/17473/305312926876.jpg Here's the online version http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/news/17472757.htm http:/...

Couldn't you just use a watering can just above and in front of the camera for the effect/ Would that work?

I really want to be able to finish my film before September. Once school starts, no actors will have free time to do anything, handily cutting me out of the competition. I will also be much busier.
