    How To Get Started and Stay In The Business

    I use that one with women. Hasn't worked so far, but I'm enjoying your pep-talk on persistence. ;)

    Creative philosophy

    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...

    Whee! Earthquake!

    Everyone here felt that, right? I was a little bit worried for our ancient brick building for a second...

    The Echo Game

    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...

    The hunt for Baghdad

    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...

    Traveling to West Africa

    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...

    REC: Cloverfield, but with zombies.

    The website is pretty significant and impressive. http://www.recmovie.co.uk/ Scary stuff. Moreso because I can't understand most of what anyone's saying!

    Heinz commercial: 3250 Miles, 1 year, and a big bag of cash

    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...

    The Screenwriting Process: Where to begin, and how to proceed.

    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...

    "No More Santa" - an HVX super-short for the holidays

    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! http://www.psychicbunny.com/blog/2007/69/no-more-santa/ Happy Holidays, everyone! HVX-200 / IndieDolly / FCP / After Effects: DFT 55mm for color...

    I love deadlines

    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...

    P2 - the horror!

    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...

    HPX lens rental? Please?

    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...

    The Screenwriting Process: Where to begin, and how to proceed.

    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...

    Script services

    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.

    Interval photography on D100

    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...
