    Poor Man

    Here is my music video that I shot with a Sony TRV-70. The song is from Soul Jahz. I shot it and edited all in one day. I am not in it because I was the director and camera-man. Tell me what you guys think. Be honest about it. I didn't do a lot of color correction. I should've made it more...

    Same Title?

    Hey guys, I wrote a script called Broken. I am going to start shooting it in a week. I've done all the planning for it and I've registered the script and made copies of it for the actors. I ran into a problem though. I was browsing the net and found another independent film called Broken: A tale...

    Two Camera Angles with One Camera?

    Hey, I am one week away from starting to shoot my movie. I only have one camera. How am I supposed to film dialogue between two people? I am going to be using one boom mic as well. What is the best way to do this? I was thinking of recording the dialogue twice. Each time with a different angle...

    Screengrabs from a Consumer Product

    Hey guys! I shot all of this with a $700 Sony TRV-70 and composited it in the consumer version of Vegas, which is Vegas Moviestudio 4.0. It was just me and my friends strolling around Newark, NJ. We were checking out the location Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg used for the movie War of the...

    City Screengrabs

    Hey guys. These are screengrabs from when I did some shooting as I walked around Newark, NJ. Please be honest and tell me what you think, what is good about it, what is bad about it, and what I can do to make it better. I am trying to go for the Bad Boys II look and Minority Report look. So if...

    Where to find Actors?

    Hey guys, I need some actors. My high school has the drama club and they are pretty good, but how do I go about asking people to make a movie for free. They'll be like, "What is it for?" And I'll be like, "Uh, for fun I guess. And to send out to festivals." So, I don't know what to do. Where...

    Permission to use Music

    Hey guys, I am filming a 45 minute Christian action film this summer. I want to sell it (hopefully), sent it to festivals and contests, and show it publicly. I want to put some Christian songs on the movie from my Christian CDs. Do you think this is a problem if I am showing it publicly? Do you...

    Underwater Recording for Cheap

    Hey guys, I came up with this great idea for underwater recording. I didn't do it yet or plan it out, but tell me if it would work. Ok, I was thinking, instead of having the camcorder inside the water, why not have it outside the water acting like a submarine scope. There could be a wide tube...

    DVFilm Look

    Hey, can you guys tell me what DVFilm makes your video look like? Does it make it more shaky? Does it make it darker like in film? I wish I had frame grabs of it so I can know. I tried to download the demo but I don't know how it works. I don't know the steps. I changed it from 60 to 24p but I...

    The "Shakiness" of Film

    Hey guys. I totally want a DVX but I don't have the money for it right now. I think it is awesome that you can shoot in 24p. That makes the video look so much better. I currently have a Sony TRV70. It is a high quality camera although it is a consumer. I got the hang of making the picture color...
