Thanks maj_barnes... I appreciate the info... I'll have to check out that site!!

Thanks again everyone for the replies and info...

Cheers,

Oh what a good idea! Thanks man, it might be kinda hard to find businesses willing to pay the price of the rental camera, but I'm sure there are a few I could do. Thanks again, I owe you one.

Cheers,

Colin

Thanks for the information... Since I probably won't be able to do this, do you have any ideas on what I can do to earn money? (preferably something related to filmmaking, since yardwork and od-jobs are getting tiresome)...

Thanks,

Colin

Hey, I have been trying to come up with solutions to earn more and more money, and I've been doing many hours of yardwork (blahfggh!) I've been thinking, and decided to edit local companies in my area's video (edit their commercials, etc.) It wouldn't be hard because I have Photoshop, Premiere Pro, ...

Uhmm... try filling a condom (or small plastic bag, or finger of a latex glove) with fake blood, and have some way of popping it under the guy's shirt... lol... i dont really have any ideas.

Sorry,

The DVC30 allows more control over the GL2, both have good quality, but not nearly as good as the DVX100, 100a, or the 100b. The DVC30 is still an awesome camera, I would look into it more though, checking out video samples of both the GL2 and the DVC30... Have fun with your new camera, Cheers, SE7

Hey guys... remember when I was asking for tips on entering a film for my high school film contest? Well, I entered the film into the contest and there was a technical error with the DVD, so unfortunately the judges couldn't judge the film, and it made it uneligable for the grand prize... :( But tha...

Hey mercenary... congratulations on your opportunity to buy an expensive camera! Where did u get the $2000? Anyways, I would DEFINITELY have to tell you to 100% go with the Panasonic DVX100b... no doubt... straight out just buy it! Okay, the best deal I could find (without bidding) is this: http://c...

Please check it out guys, and tell me what ya think!! Anything I can do to make it better???

Thanks,

Okay... what I did for a world war II film, was take a huge tarp (mine was blue because the film was in B&W) and tie a bunch of rope to the tarp, then tie the rope around the guy. You might want to make a fake harness if your doing close-ups. Then film and have your guy jump as high as possible....

Thanks for the tips... if you can think of any more tips, please tell me!! Thanks guys!

Hey guys... me and a couple of friends were just messing around, and did a little first person shooter styled video.... its kind of a cool little video, and whats sweet is my friend is composing some action-styled music for it... to make it seem like a game. Anyways.... my question is: Does anyone k...

Thank you very much vixuxx, for your kind words! I'm really glad you could understand the movie and feel the emotions in this film.... I was just hoping that everyone could feel the emotions... but thanks again man, I really appreciate it!! And angusware, thanks for the comment, but I'm sorry you co...

Hey guys.. I have recently updated my website. It's not very good because it's a freewebs, but untill I buy a hosting service, this is the best I can do. It's pretty plain right now, but I'll put more stuff on soon... Anyways, it has a couple of short films, and some info... http://www.freewebs.com/...

Thanks guys.. I appreciate it.

Yeah, good idea Clarence. I might add that.... thanks for the idea!

MasterMike- It was kinda supposed to be dumb, so if it was predictable but still funny.... GOOD! And thanks for the comment..

lol .. thanks everyone!

Thanks F.F.F. - I appreciate your comment. The car I was in, a tiny Toyota Corolla, was way too small to get any other shots really, and I dont have a wide angle lens... so this was the best I could do... DEDFX- I was just messin around... I know, the ending probably could have been a little bit mor...

Ok guys, I was trying to make a 60 second, not a 30 second, so I'm sorry if it was boring to you.... And DEDFX- I'm sorry you thought the ending was bad. Oh, by the way, I completed everything from planning to uploading on to youtube in a little under 2 hours... Thanks for your constructive criticis...

Hey guys, me and a few of my friends made a short 60 sec. video. It's a funny mimic of those darn Mastercard Commercials... hehe.. well, if you wanna check it out (please.. lol) click here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVP6X4UWpCM And if you think it's funny, please post a comment... thanks Colin

Thanks for the comments guys... -Theshapecool- What in particular did you find boring about it? It was a drama, and I needed to show the emotions. If I cut it down any shorter, I don't think the story would've worked as well... Did you understand the meaning of the story? -Magic-Man- Thanks alot.. T...

Thanks man.. I really worked hard on this film, and wanted to make it as good as I could. Thanks for the comment on the cinematography, I wanted to put a lot of work into that. Yeah, some of those shots were really shaky, but it wasn't really a race against daylight, but I couldn't get some of those...

Sorry for double posting, but did anyone check it out yet?

Hey guys... I have recently made a new short film! It is a drama about a young teenager who has recently lost his brother, and is struggling with life. Through these difficult times, he turns to his 'Sanctuary', his piano. Please check it out! I spent a few weeks trying to get the right look for the...

Hey all the people that thinks mac suck, go eat yourself.... In my film class, we use Mac Pros with Dual 3.0 GHz processor (6 GHz total) and 4 GB RAM, so don't give me any of that cr** about how it's low end. Sure its more expensive, but its a hell of a lot better than crappy PCs. http://www.apple.c...

Good job... I really liked it! I liked the camera angles, especially the Dutch angles. I also liked the feel of the movie, and thought the B&W added alot. Yeah, wasn't really a matrix type movie, but I thought it was great!! The only thing I would work on is the blood... looked a little fake whe...
