I have been asked to do an actor's showreel and he's going to be giving me loads of dvd's from which I need to pull out footage in FCP. What's the best way of doing this? Thanks

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has bought from http://www.filmwareproducts.com and how their transaction was? I'm looking to order some stuff from there and just want to make sure the vendor is legit. Thanks

I've just completed my first feature and this is to be published in our university newspaper. What do you think about the questions?? It's my first interview so I thought I'll share it with this forum because it has given me a lot. Any advice, blessings, criticisms etc would be appreciated. :)...

I have a 24p prores timeline which I want to export using compressor. The normal dvd setting doesn't seem to work with 24p or 30p setting. What should I do to get a good hd to sd conversion for dvd? Thanks Nash

I need a soundtrack (with vocals preferably) for the opening of my feature length coming out of the UK. I can't provide pay for this as my budget has completely drained out but I can offer a screen credit and an invite for two to the film premiere on the 29th of April this year. I need an...

Hello I've looked in forums and all around the internet but I can't seem to find the exact answer to what I am looking for. Nevertheless, it is a newbie question. I'm currently trying to put a feature length film together for SD DVD. I filmed in HDV 24P and then captured as HDV to 29.98 fps...

I have a step down ring on my camera which seems to be jammed. Nobody, no matter how good their fingers are at gripping things, can manage to unscrew this. This has never happened to me before and I need to film tomorrow with the ring out! Any ideas for getting this out?!

How do I do this? I'm trying to get rid of some vignetting and want to select the corners of my footage and make them brighter etc. Hope this is possible. Thanks

I'm shooting a micro-budget feature in the UK starting November 08 and am looking for someone to read through the screenplay and 1) Find plot holes 2) Suggest which areas need improvement generally 3) Provide creative input towards the story and screenplay with ideas on enhancement of...

I have a character that lights four candles on a dinner table before a meal. Would that light be enough to light the character's faces if I was shooting with an M2 HVX setup? There would be other dim lights in the room (like a table lamp..) If not, what should I do to make their faces look...

Has anybody managed to acquire equipment rental insurance in the UK? How much did you pay? I find that companies are reluctant to cover this. Any advice? I'm renting an HVX200 M2 kit for six days (split into three weekends).

How do some people end up outputting their footage at 2.35:1 when HVX200 films at 16x9? Is it just cropped in post? Does it help in any way apart from making it look more 'film like'? What should I be doing if I were to make a film for the festival circuit? I'm shooting on HVX200 Redrock M2 with...
