I can not figure out where on dvxuser to post my help as a film composer to score a short film. Any clue? Considering the importance of music in a film, I am surprised there is no sub-forum on this. I made a post earlier today in Post/Audio but it appears to have been removed. Where would be the...

I'd love to help (for free) a DVXuser filmmaker by composing music for a short film that is between 1-5 minutes, preferably 1-3 minutes (I want to start easy). I recently completed a composing for film course at Berklee College of Music; we covered sad, horror, action, grandeur, romance (I will...

I am not sure where to discuss or promote myself for film scoring / music composition, here on dvxuser? I spent years here on the screenwriting forum, I have produced a few short films, but I have transitioned to where I want to compose music for film, score films. Recently completed a course in...

DVD filmmaking course I bought back in 2009, was pretty intense on all aspects of filmmaking so I never got around to finishing all the discs. At most each disc was watched once, so the discs are in great condition. Comes with a guide and cheat card as pictured. Will ship only to lower 48 USA...

$79 auction or $135 Buy it Now ebay listing I just put up a couple of days ago for about 25 discs (video DVDs, audio CDs) on the craft of screenwriting. The discs with photos of experts are DVD video discs, the other discs are I believe audio CDs. Experts include Michael Hauge, Karl Iglesias...

Not sure where else to post this thus here . Looking to produce my first microbudget indie feature film, all on my dime. Slasher horror, five college students offed one by one, protagonist survives. A concern hit me yesterday--- what if I am 70% into the film, have spent 70% of the budget, and a...

Standard rule was use manual focus for filming with DSLR, which I do, but my DSLR is about five years old. I am wondering with the newest batch of 4k DSLRs which far more sophisticated autofocus, can one use autofocus on newer DSLRs for making low budget films? Are the cameras fast enough on...

Anybody know? Not listed on specifications on the web for this camera. I waited 30 minutes with online chat at panasonic.com and nobody there knew, unbelievable. Hoping maybe someone here has this camera and somehow can tell from properties of a video clip. The $700 price of this camera with...

Yet to produce a feature, I am curious how much time, how much $ if outsourced, micro budget feature filmmakers here budget for creating deliverables for a micro distributor? Trailers, stills, M&E, dialog sheets, music cue sheets metadata spreadsheet (not really clear on what that is), press...

So I have filmed a few shorts and I just used a shotgun/boom and/or lavaliers on actors. Looking to do a feature microbudget indie I see distributors of micro have a deliverables list requiring true stereo recorded tracks (not just mono split into identical L/R). In a practical sense, how is...

Hi, I am looking for leads, recommendations on any fluid head tripod+head to use in place of my existing Manfrotto 351MVCF carbon fiber tripod (6.83lbs) with a 503HDV pro fluid head (4.3 lbs). Worked great for my previous Canon XHA1 (5.3lbs) camcorder and then my Canon Rebel T4i and lens (total...

Hi I hope this is within the TOS of dvxuser as this is a free service--- I am shamelessly plugging a friend I am helping get started as a VFX artist. He is looking to do a few FREE vfx projects to build a resume so if you are a filmmaker and need someone to add muzzle flashes to gunfire, replace...

Anybody have a handle on the Copyright Term Extension Act (ceta) and how it would e.g. apply to the public domain film Night of the Living Dead? Because I am wanting to use some footage from NOTLD in an indie film, but not if it violates copyright. I always thought NOTLD was public domain (as...

Anybody have an agreement/contract to share, for entertainment purposes only, for studying how 2 or more producers work together on a film project? And who "owns" the final film in such a case? I have googled and looked at film contracts online but am having a hard time finding a film agreement...

I am considering Premiere Pro CC (PPCC), never used Adobe Premiere. What I would like to know is if PPCC would allow for collaborative cloud editing of a film. Say I am in one city and have a subscription to PPCC and a collaborative in another city also has a subscription to PPCC; can we...
