I would love to get a close…

Hi Annika, great idea with your distribution plan! I tried a few big distributors/agents but they seem rather very selective ie; DogWoof. My documentary sits with Human Rights, Hu…

Also , as well as StopMotion Pro or Eclipse do I need an editing software such as Adobe Premiere (for PC)?

You want to try to make sure your lenses are all fairly similar in terms of colour and sharpness. In my opinion I'd buy the older Nikon Nikkor lenses - there's loads on Ebay. We s…

Hey guys,

I had thought this might be simpler, but I am having trouble finding a brick walled space to hire on a budget. I am looking around London, and most of the walls are pai…

I thought of the skyloft on Millbank, it's that kind of place, but then remembered the whole decor was fake - wooden girders, 'brick' panels, and that got me thinking, could you m…

I am making my first feature film and everyone involved will be paid. Actors at minimum £100 a day plus expenses. What's accepted protocol for rehearsals? Are they usually class…

I'm a student and looking to get a decent-quality camera, most likely a DSLR. I think I want full frame and (if possible) 4K. I want something that is capable of professional-look…

I've just been looking at the Canon 70D. It's not full-frame, but everything else about it looks very good. It seems to be possibly the best camera with an articulated viewscreen,…

I'm a London based director/producer. This year I've produced/directed 3 short films and have co-written a feature film. I'm cu…
