After since losing the one audience member I wanted to impress all the time since I was a kid, my grandmother, I felt distraught. I felt hopeless. That is until one day I remembered she wanted me to keep going and still make films and that they are always good to her. That message propelled me...

Hello you all, I'm planning on heading to San Francisco in a few days. Without interrupting someone's work schedule, would it be alright that I can get a tour of a film set? Can't be in Los Angeles though. I'm interested in this to get an open mind on filmmaking. Willing to be a PA for an hour...

What is the difference between fujifilm, Panasonic, and Sony? What is the better of the three and more suited for filmmaking or which one is more suited for photography. I'm curious.

Okay I just woke up when this happened. Fortunately my tripod does not have throw up on it. My cat apparently got into something he shouldn't have been eating and threw up all over the house. My tripod bag was open and on the ground and he threw up on it. Is there any way I can clean my tripod bag?

I'm thinking about getting a tattoo to remember the love my grandmother gave me for most of my life when my parents weren't there. The issue is, is it possible for when I have to be a certain role in a movie or TV show, that I can get the tattoos covered up appropriately? The tattoo will be on...

I'm looking at how Sony sells camera sensors to Apple for their iPhones, Nikon cameras use Sony sensors, how the Sony FX series is in the lead with freelancers and documentarians in my area, I've seen plenty of professional photographers use Sony A7S cameras, the Venice is popular on TV and...

Say for example you're someone who is a bit naïve but someone who is trying their best to do what is right. You're fresh for the job or fresh out of film school not used to the film set. When you are on set you are making rookie mistakes, and making odd socially awkward mistakes and mistakes...

As a filmmaker and as someone who comes to work all the time, anything could happen. You don't know what may go on in another person's home. What may go on in their life. Even what news they may discover from a text message. Now, the issue isn't so much that you want to give up your job, but how...

Watching the original 1933 version of King Kong on Amazon, I've noticed just how absolutely grainy the footage looks. By today's standard that much grain is unusable if it was noise. This is especially noticeable with the fog scene on the boat in the movie. People say noise is distracting, but...

I have not seen much people here discuss Kinefinity. I'm very interested in their Mavo S35 Mark II, but only if it has 12 stops of dynamic range. I've seen Gerald Undone do a review on them. Have you all had experience with the camera? Their cameras look perfect for guerilla filmmaking on a...

Back in 2016, Apertus announced they would make an open source fully customizable camera known as the Axiom Beta and Gamma. Their latest news was that they got a factory set up for the Beta, though I have not heard from them in a while. I'm interested in their camera as I'm sure it'll be good...

I just watched a review someone had of an 8k cheap camcorder. It got me thinking that all these quality cameras like the RED Raptor XL, are they more than their resolution for creating beautiful imagery?

I went down a rabbit hole of studying light going deep into physics like that of Einstein and Issac Newton. I even knew that light as a photon was made from an elementary particle known as a boson. Photons are made of what is known as electromagnetic fields which are made of waves, for example...

Take for example you have your first start in film at the age of 45 in a job position a 16 year old would have. Has that ever happened, and if it is a bit humiliating considering you should be more advanced and mature than a lot of people that person should be, how could it be dealt with? Like...

I understand I may at some point need a 15mm rod system for building out a camera as rigging out allows for efficiency, but to me, after personal experience of fiddling too much with how much time and effort it takes to build it up, I think it's kinda overrated. I find it much easier to attach...

Hello, whenever it is late at night in my neighborhood there are possums roaming. I'd like to photograph one to add to my nature photo collection. Do you all have any photography tips for this?

How do you all deal with being demoted or fired from a film project, or even being so awful you can't find a way to get on one? As much as I hate to say this, what if the only way to get on a film set is to fit in as very popular when everyone else does but you don't? Like, imagine the reason...

I plan on filming a coffee shop soon for a commercial as a freelancer. I will only have 4 camera shots in the entire thing. A medium camera shot of the lead ordering coffee, a medium of the cashier selling the coffee, a wide timelapse of the coffee being made, and a wide of the shop. I'm hoping...

Before Christ during the Roman empire or Greek empire, the buildings were mainly used with carts and wooden nails and wooden mallets. Now if we were to do it we would use a drill, screws, and several other tools. This next example may work against my point, back during the Civil War soldiers in...

I'm not exactly the type of person you'd see living up a conversation nor am I comfortable being around with. I actually most of the time appear withdrawn from most people. My question for all of you is, considering I struggle with social skills, what would immediately make you put me on a film...
