Has anyone done an ADR session only to discover that the actor is unable to reproduce the tone of voice he had during the shoot? It's not a performance issue but we shot the film …

Thanks, Matt. I might take you up on your offer. At the moment, we've decided to ADR the entirety of the two scenes to resolve the consistency issue.

I am trying to get started in post-production audio. I have done a lot of production and location sound in the past, and fully intend to continue. However, I can do post-productio…

Hi all

I hope you all have had a great Christmas and New Year.

I'm looking to do more networking this year. Other than the Nexus - Cast & Crew Network and Screen Central mee…

Hi Shona

i'm not currently a member of any of those organisations but will look into it. I've noticed lately that more and more networking takes place in London. Unfortunately Tr…

It can be dispiriting to get that rejection email on a script you've worked tirelessly on for months. And it can be hard to get back on the horse.

However, it's always important…

Hello All,

I've written a few feature films, and I'm in search of producers, funding and a director to help get this to the shooting stage. My scripts are mostly thrillers, but I…

I use this funneling system to finance all films that I work on. I have a FREE tutorial video that you can watch to see how I do it: https://www.ohdff.com/home31657948

Don't wish to come across as arrogant (much), but films can be made without "educational support" (ie. classes on how to do it "right") All you need is the will and the tools and…

So, when will we see your film? FWIW I really don't think horror works as a film genre, (yes, I know, it's just me), but I LOVE horror on the radio. Monsters are so much better in…

First, Happy Holidays to All,

Technology continues to rapidly change. I'm preparing to get my short film ready to send out to festivals. I'm told the best way to submit is to u…

All the festivals I looked at last year required films to be submitted in 1080p. In case you don't know, that's HD rather than 2K or 4K. When converted to a 1080p mp4, my 28 minut…

Hello! Once again, I'm here to ask the help of the SP community.

In the last three years I embarked in a journey that led me to produce and co-direct a mid-length documentary, wh…

If it doesn't limit your options at all, no harm in giving it a go, I guess! If the actual promotion part is on them, so they earn by making you money, job's a good'un.

Hello All.

I have a question I am really intrigued to hear your thoughts about. I am currently in the process of formulating a script and I am at a crunch point. The script can …

Hey Luke,

Cheers for responding! In my (sadly limited) experience, a good narrative idea has inherent dramatic ‘space’; that is, it will stand a lot of rewriting and variations. …
