Light the whole thing with the ceiling - bounce the light from it though you may need to experiment with specific arrangement of how you hit the ceiling (where and how much and from what points) with whatever you have.

I came across this: "This comprehensive guide to global production incentives asks: why not film in Fiji when you can recoup 50% of your production budget?" http://nofilmschool.com/2016/07/film-production-incentives-tax-incentives-movie-rebates Anybody has any experience in doing something like...

I spent some time trying to figure out how to zoom in/out on the timeline in 10.3. It used to be a small slider at the bottom, and it's gone now altogether with the bottom bar. Which is a good thing since that bar was mostly a waist of space. FYI - that zoom slider is now in the "clip...

I've just discovered this new offering from Adobe that's included in Adobe CC (meaning free for CC users). Since I'm looking for a platform and hosting options - if anybody is using it, can you guys share your experience?

I'm getting emails and phone calls from various sources (Adobe and its dealers) offering savings "as much as 33% for up to three years on Adobe Creative Cloud for Teams." But it's the same pricing on all options. Oh, and offer ends Aug. 28th. If you think about it, such offer implies that the...

If I were doing this I'd consider several factors - Requirements for quality - Avaialble equipment and software - Keying skills - Safety (especially when it comes to flying) - Budget For highest quality, I'd do all green screen shooting indoor preferably in a studio (with a good green screen...

7:30 is a bit late even for this time of the year, but at my location (VA) the sunset is at around 8:40 today so I think you can still pull it off. You can use Sun Seeker app to check the sun position at your location, elevation, shadow ratio and even check the 3D view of the sun at your exact...
