    DOC: The Anything Box - Personal Documentary Project

    That is a nice concept for you and your friends.

    VX1000 analog in

    This is the sort of thing that does not help the forum - Insulting a person making an inquiry, followed up by posts disputing what they said as being true, while not having any actual experience with the product; especially a to a new member. I'm not disputing what you or Sharkman are saying...

    Pretty damn QUIET in here.......

    That sounds like a joke. I can't imagine a well-behaved person like Abe getting banned.

    VX1000 analog in

    Is there a way to monitor the analog input on the camera to be sure it is detecting the video? Perhaps it needs to be in a certain mode (recording) for it to be on the DV out. Can you record the analog input on the camera and play it back out the DV?

    Yes, very much so.

    Pretty damn QUIET in here.......

    One thing that put me off was the bashing of people's efforts to produce a video about some widgit they built or some product they reviewed. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but when people got thrashed on for their efforts, there was no reason to continue. The best example of this...

    Pretty damn QUIET in here.......

    Reddit - Right you are. I had not though of that. So that rules my phone thing out. The Brawley situation was most-unfortunate. Between John and Barry leaving, was that a turning point? I think not, as forums in general have faded. But it sure didn't help. Even dedicated major-contributors such...

    SHORT: Ruins Ignite - Short action film

    It looks great. Well done. I'm impressed with the music work. But the plot, or what there was of it; meh; I guess it was just a vehicle to show a 4 minute sword fight.

    Typing on a phone is cumbersome. Maybe that contributes to it.

    Pretty damn QUIET in here.......

    We're listening J.R......... Well, I don't know who exactly we is. Maybe it's just me and my dog. One thing I have noticed is that the art of communicating via the written word has also declined. Perhaps it is the all part of people staring at their phones thing. Perhaps people don't feel...

    Pretty damn QUIET in here.......

    For reasons that escape me, the forum format has lost its appeal. There are so many other options, but all of them have a 'stream of consciousness' format where one posts a question (take Facebook's Location Sound). it gets answered by a few people and then it dies and the next question comes...

    Managing expectations for zero-budget projects

    But of course, there is one exception to this: FILMMAKER: I want to be a film maker. OTHERS: Do you have an idea, or a script or talent or skills of any kind? FILMMAKER: No. OTHERS: Get lost. FILMMAKER: But I do have lots of money. OTHERS: Welcome friend! Sit down. Make yourself comfortable.

    Managing expectations for zero-budget projects

    This reminds me of a person who joined a film group I was in. She told us that for two years she shot film of the activities in a woman's clothing store. She said she joined the group because she wanted help. When asked what her idea was for the film, she said she didn't know. The world is full...

    Changing times. Minimal crew 3 Cam ENG shoot

    I guess the next step is they talk over the phone and AI generates two talking heads from stills.

    Managing expectations for zero-budget projects

    For my participation, I would require that they write a script, a shot list and complete the other basic pre-production items that are needed to make a set run smoothly. It's no fun being on a disorganized set. The fact that they don't have these things indicates disorganization and failure. You...

    I feel motivated to make films again

    One step at a time. One day at a time. Fear is always of the unknown. But when you step out there, you find out there was nothing to fear in the first place. Roosevelt said it best -
