I did a 5 day tour through Klickitat County with the movie. Totally DIY, booked my own venues, brought my own projector (Sony 665es which did DCI 4K) and sound system (didn’t pull off the Atmos…yet), rolled out...
It’s been awhile but ‘Gravity’ on IMAX 3D was epic. I remember leaving thinking, that’s the first ‘edge of your seat thriller’ I ever saw.
‘One Battle After Another’ is excellent. I watched in Portland on 70MM and that anti authoritarian vibe really resonated with the audience, especially in...
The best days were really when the beginning of what became RED was hanging here.
Some very smart people shared a lot of information on this forum.
That being said, my favorite moment was probably the HVX200 frame rate hack, unlocking features within a camera in some pirated way ala magic...
Funny.
If you’re speaking with chatGPT for 11 hours a day, it’s definitely changed your life.
It’s unfortunate how swiftly the active members have fallen here. I was recently thinking of upgrading my camera set up and in googling about the C300 Mark III came upon this thread...
How do you feel it’s going? I have been watching the rapid rise of views over the last few days. I’m impressed.
I wonder, what do you think is a % breakdown of viewers that you brought to the movie compared to what indie rights brought to the movie? They have a lot of subscribers but your...
I know it’s not “best practices” but for solo operation, just go bodypack recorders. Skip the transmitting and receiving. Learn good lav mounting techniques, these days there’s all sorts of great options. I use the Viviana beetle system. Love it.
The less gear the better. Less complications...
Thanks @NorBro. I appreciate you mustering the strength and tenacity to endure that trailer. Definitely wish viewers got the idea that it’s an election for sheriff from the trailer. I may have missed that as I’m deep in and most the people I show have heard me speak about it so have some initial...
@ Scorsesefan thank you very much for taking time to watch and critique. I’m greatly appreciative. The length of time with that sign was definitely debated. Most agree with you that it needs to be held longer. I kept it short because, like you said, it’s a trailer. I figure if anyone truly wants...
My trailer is live:
Honest feedback on the trailer is appreciated.
I haven’t been updating this diary, but I’m almost finished. The only thing I’m still trying to track down is a hound handler that hunts cougars when the sheriff gives the signal, which only happens when the cougar is a...
I just want to reiterate that your craftsmanship is superb and my critique is simply based on my preference and really nothing to do with the quality of your work. That being said, to elaborate a bit, I enjoy a Tarantino movie more than most filmmakers, he’s one of a handful that I’ll go to the...
Congratulations on getting this done and out into the world. A monumental task, especially considering all the VFX you take on, sheesh. I’m wondering why you don’t release it yourself initially? I would imagine there’s a group of people who are your core audience who will watch this wherever...
Ok Mr. Papert, here is my review that all have been breathlessly waiting for, first off we all know you’re a top level craftsman that probably none of us here will ever reach. I liked your movie and the quality was excellent. My only real critique I have (and I feel this about Tarantino too, so...
Thank you for sharing. Sorry to hear about your health issues and those of your participants. I have a couple questions:
1. Why did you choose Fawesome for distribution?
2. How do you decide you’ve shot enough to tell the story?
3. Are you editing while you’re shooting?
4. Are your lavs...
Thanks for sharing. I think trailers are so fun to edit, especially after you have been constrained by the structure of the main edit. It feels like freestyle by comparison.
Do you have Vimeo? You could always put up a password protected link for the DVX crowd and change the password later...
So I’m back in NYC again as I must earn some money, so annoying. I hate becoming disconnected from my project. I plan to return in late January to get that eagle shot as it’s prime eagle season then and I’ve had to leave to work before they really return. I did think about licensing an eagle...
Congratulations Charles! Do you have a trailer we can see? What projector did you use? Are there any seats behind the projector or since it’s on the ground, would that be an obstructed view?
I don’t watch many gear review videos, but a couple of your reviews are actually the only ones I remember. That one where the sun went down was fun, and any with your wife in them are also great as they become, in many ways, a relationship video.
PS…forgive me for calling you a zoombot awhile...
