just where one can do training on LF format system like Alexas, C700 the HQ ended cameras I know industry demand for them is high don't know how you give them that HQ standard?

I've dropped you an email at the address on your site :)

Apparently, the majority of projects here are "self-funded", which means most "producers" and "directors" here are not working for a professional film company. Well, maybe weddin…

@John - your point about "Social grace combined with good ideas" is quite right. It points to what I think is a key reason to make (and crew & act in) short films: because it'…

Hi Anton, yes good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have rented a great studio with extra sofa bed, including a kitchen, £75 per night for up to 5 nights. 15 mins walk to the Palais de Festivals so a great late find. Please email…

Okay, so some people on this list have day jobs. No problem. Some of the greatest innovators in art were amateurs.

But, let's say film was your full time job. What salary woul…

Not all wages for people are equal enough to find a single figure that 'someone' could quit their day job for. Everyone has different needs and requirements that pull and push the…

Hi Darren,

Crowdfunding is HARD every man & dog thinks "ooh free money" and gives it a go. You need to stand out from the chancers and outright crooked, and that means reall…

Thanks Helen.
I enjoyed reading it, or skimming it anyway. He sounds very mature for someone who only made one feature, and I like the fact that he seems to be telling it like it…

Haha, I think it's funny that someone who couldn't even afford grips would think to include them. In a student production, you just basically have someone hold a camera, and if y…

It seems like a really good idea in principle, I understand it doesn't have all the heavy hitters, and lots of 1 day/small festivals, but before I take the plunge, I was wondering…

Thanks guys, I think I’m going to take the plunge!
