I'm looking for feedback on these two trailer versions for our completed feature - Lost Wilderness. I'm not sure either one of these is really hitting the mark. Which appeals to you more? Why? If anyone wishes to prescreen the full length movie PM me and I'll send a link. There is one last...

I thought I'd share this sequence shot with the dolly trax system. This is a cheap floor dolly that you can actually sit on. Sometimes track, pan and tilt shots can be tricky with slider systems. I thought the dollytrax did great as we back into the corner here and pan. Then the running shot as...

Someone suggested I commission a writer to create a novel/ebook for use as merchandise for our feature film that has just wrapped principle photography. I like the idea of having transmedia material to market to an audience after they have viewed the film. Has anyone had success with this idea...

I'm in a remote location shooting a visual effect plate of a canyon gorge with my GH2. I'd like to be able to load a still of a frame of the footage that we shot for the upper portion of the shot and I want to be able to visually line the shots up. Can anyone share how they have done this or...

My initial reaction was that it felt too cold... all those blues in the shadows... maybe this is overcompensating but this is more the direction I would take the color.

I have two DR-40s , I've never had that problem because normally when I have the recorder set to line level, I'm controlling the input with a sound devices mixpred , I just noticed this reading the manual: When using LINE input the level controls have no effect. I didn't know that about the...

I'm trying to come up with ideas for set design for a womens talk show. We dont have space or budget to build anything. I shot some test footage in a home and was trying to make us of some of the windows and natural light in the space as opposed to just shooting against a wall. I'd like there to...

Has Anyone Distributed a film through Shami Media? I'd like to hear of any experience positive or negative.

I'm looking for a writer who can begin mid january. I have a first draft and a ton of notes. Story set in not far off dystopian future with a 'Children of Men' vibe. PM for details.

This is a pic of the actual venue. No space for backprojection but the ceiling is high... keystoning would probably be bad but its more of an artistic vibe they are going for rather than a realistic look.

Here is a test I shot f2.8 at 400iso seemed to work. That was back projection. I think the key is nice soft sources with eggcrates to keep the light off screen, maybe with some fresnels to throw some hard highlights in there.

I have a client that wants a music video done with a band playing live in front of projected video. Its being shot inside a large recording studio and recorded live simultaneously. They want to create an effect that the band is playing inside a garage , facing an audience inside the garage...

Does anyone have any experience working on sets with kids and being required to do a criminal record check? Is that common or not?

Any recommendations for something similar price range with better features or maybe cheaper with the same features...
