ASK & DISCUSS

I've just finished a 30 minute short, and I was thinking of organising a single screening through www.ourscreen.com (alongside a few other shorts from other people). Ourscreen all…

Hi, I have spoken with OurScreen last year about running my own documentary with them. During a phone call, the guy said depending on where you are, some cinemas like Vue in my ho…

Hi
I'm producing a feature film and we don't have a MUA attached. I'm looking for a simple solution for blood. I bought some from Smiffy's but it looks a bit red and fake. Any sug…

Cool, thanks Simon. I've learnt so much from this thread!

I'm British and am both shocked and appalled by the vicious negative reviews that “The Krays: Dead Man Walking"”has received on the imdb.com, when the statistically the clear majo…

Many thanks for that. Jane Sanger and Roland Heap had already managed to clarify to me the probable reasons for the review and vote attack on the imdb.com I did some sea…

I think it is the high production values of The New Politics that sell the film. You do not expect such an ending. If it had looked like Neighbours it would not have had such an…

Hi Guys, so I finally found the perfect location for my single location thriller (Big Thanks to Shooter Simon) and the Film Office of an East London Borough wants to charge me £15…

That's the problem - it isn't the perfect location if you can't afford it. Filmmaking is always about compromise and deal-making. Truly "derelict" properties are a lot more expe…

Just finished a film. It was shot in raw, on a Sony FS700, so pretty good dynamic range.

Should I add a bit of grain before it goes off to screenings? What do other shooters do …

Thanks, Paddy. I'd already decided not to add grain as there are no banding issues to disguise in my film.

Need to film a short boxing scene, in need of a ring this week. Student film!!

There's always Repton, they will charge but it looks great.

MP3 is an audio-only format, so you may not get many offers. You can probably do it yourself if you want to give it a try - "Handbrake" is a free programme which will do the rip …

Great topic Ben.
