This weekend I had a very unpleasant interaction with a fellow DVXuser. I'm not interested in naming names or going into details of that interaction, but suffice it to say that I found it extremely disappointing.
But there's a silver lining to every cloud, right? This whole thing got me...
A buddy of mine is crewing up on a lesbian-horror feature film that he is shooting starting next month. I'm helping him out with some advice and light producing, so I'm hoping to help find some of the crew. This is an ultra-low-budget, weekends-and-nights-only sort of thing, so there is no pay...
Hey everyone. I'm working as producer for a short for the Army, and there are some unique challenges. The main one is finding locations near L.A. that pass for Baghdad. I thought I'd do a mini-diary here just to share some of those challenges and (hopefully) how we solved them with not a lot...
It's been years since I had a vacation. And I really want/need to do some research for a film I'm trying to make. So I'm trying to get myself to West Africa (Sierra Leone, Liberia, etc.) for 3-4 weeks in the fall, to explore and investigate and spend a few days relaxing.
The problem? It's...
The website is pretty significant and impressive.

Scary stuff. Moreso because I can't understand most of what anyone's saying!
All right, it is now officially official. My Heinz commercial contest entry, "3250 Miles", has been announced as one of the ten semi-finalists in the Top This contest! That means I edged out over 2000 other entries, which is an honor in its own right. Please go to this page. There's a lot of...
Ideas are a renewable resource. This notion that "I'll never come up with another great idea" is no good, and just commit to putting them down on paper. If it seems like it's working; it's working, and you can tell. If it's not, pull it out, store it for something else. But you'll never know...
How does a father tell his only daughter that there's no Santa Claus? Every child eventually must grow up... and learn a little responsibility!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Maybe you remember a year or so ago I wrote a script in 8 days on a bet, from no concept to 90 pages. Well, needless to say, it wasn't genius, but it was surprisingly solid. But I more or less forgot about it after sending it around to a few friends.
Fast forward to the present, when I've...
I bet you expected to expected to read a story of how P2 ate our footage! Nope, sorry. Instead, a horror trailer gift for you guys here on DVXuser.
The only thing more terrifying than recording to tape... is realizing that you're not...
THIS WEEKEND we are doing a shoot, for which I have an HPX-500 lined up. However, it has no lens! Why? I wish I could tell you. It also has no batteries. If you could somehow help me and my band of merry media-makers acquire such things on short notice, it would be much appreciated, since...
Like others, my process is similar, because it works. However, I do like to take various breaks for "communication" between my ideas.
I almost always start from a key scene or philosophical concept of sorts (the latter works far better, but I take what comes). From there I am spending a fair...
Since we're back into narrative film land, I figure I'll once again offer my services to write/rewrite a handful of Hallows Fest scripts, like I did for SpyFest. I'm a bit swamped at the moment, but get in touch after next week and I'd be happy to help some people out.

I could have sworn the D100 offered this function, but it sure doesn't! So it looks like the only options are to buy an intervalometer (don't need it that bad) or capture via laptop. I don't have Nikon Capture and I'm running a Mac, so what are the options, exactly? Or if anyone has any other...
