Yes this is how is works, those who actively submit to Film of the Month via the submission form on the site will be considered. The final 12 will be chosen and halfway …

Something some folks I know have been up to in Germany. This is seriously impressive: https://vimeo.com/130983212

It looks like a skillful and expensive way of rendering what looks like a practically lit real set look entirely CG and fake. Useful for sci-fi/fantasy, or perhaps computer game w…

Hi all,

I've been puzzled by Genero.tv, who keep sending me briefs for potential videos or commercials. What I don't understand is, why would an artist brief out a video, to be m…

No, Ivo, the previous posters are correct. You make the video - if the artist likes it they buy it. It becomes their video. Or, as has been suggested, you "win the prize money".…

I'm just looking for experience in the medium from a camera/lighting perspective.

You're quite welcome!

I'm looking for projects to work on for my final year project. If anyone would like a full audio post-production done on their (already edited) short film, please drop me a messag…

After recently graduating from Falmouth University, im starting to look for jobs as part of a camera team. What is the best way to sell myself to people for work? Im Reading based…

I know, John! Those commercial budgets are insane! Here in America, and perhaps it's the same in the U.K., ad agencies are paid a percentage of the budget (cost plus contracts I t…

I've done the job before and know what it involves, but what makes a really GOOD scripty? It's the role I'd like to do regularly until I'm at a point where I can consistently work…

Nope. Not once. Even in the early non-union days with impossible work hours, there were lots of mistakes, but none were a miss-slate. The only one I can remember didn't have a sla…

And look what I've done... completely misread your post. I thought you meant the 'general discuss' section but I've now seen your 'Generals'. Phew, close call - skill, expertise a…

Hey Jamie,

I've joined the group, seems great for this kind of thing, thank you :).
