    Hiring unpaid actors

    I am shooting a short film in about a month and am using “real” actors for the first time. Since there is no funding for the film, we have found actors by posting ads for the film as unpaid on a local website.

    problems with 24p footage

    I shot some material for a short film a few months ago using a DVX100B camera and the 24P feature. I then edited the footage with Premier and burned it to a DVD with DVDit 6. Once on the DVD, the footage looked choppy, with horizontal lines showing up when the camera was panning. Does anyone...

    Camera recommendations

    I am an aspiring filmmaker looking to buy a camera to use for my filmmaking. I have had a good amount of experience with the Panasonic DVX100B and have liked it. I was planning to buy this but wasn’t sure if there were any cameras out there in the same price range that I should look at first...
