ASK & DISCUSS

A little while ago I launched a blog about film sound aimed at screenwriters and directors. It’s not technical and it’s not about sound effects or sound design. The idea behind i…

I’m a hobbyist holiday videographer that wants to up production value to include some simple (60 - 120fps looking) slow-motion shots. I’m shooting on an entry level DSLR (Canon D1…

For half speed slow motion shoot 720/50p and conform it to 25 (in premiere just drop into a 25p timeline and change speed to 50%, not sure about Da Vinci but there are a few tutor…

Hi SP Hive mind

I made a comedy surreal short film last year and after an unsuccessful
festival campaign have recently whacked it online.

Any feedback you have bad and good wou…

Hi Simon,

A very we'll put together film, nicely shot (a little over-saturated at times as Zsani pointed out) but definitely the right sort of grading for this comedy. I think ov…

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for posting this! You would be better served, however, posting this in the Production>Get work segment of the site. In fact, there are quite a few colourist…

Anyone had any dealings with this?
Are they any good?

Keep me posted. I'm dubious, but I'm open to suggestions.

I'm a US based business filming in London. I have paid a location invoice that included VAT. With more to come.

The location company said they would return the VAT if I provide…

That's quite a story Marlom. I wonder if Revenue called Jeremy Irons to verify?

Someone caught with their pants down! Pretty funny indeed.

As we're busting our ass to get it …

Hi Radhika,

Thanks for posting in.

Incase you've not done so already, do have a look at the 'Get Work' part of our Production pages - https://shootingpeople.org/production/work.…

Hi there guys!

I'm fairly new to the filmmaking scene. At the moment, I don't live in a big city e.g. Manchester, London... I just wondered if there's anyone here who's from the …

Hi guys, cheers for all the responses! Hopefully we'll run into to each other!

Hi Everyone!

How are you doing?

I am writing this because we are now looking for a producer to join our team!

Hi Ignacio

Would you be able to email me some more details about the role? Are you looking for a producer to help raise funds with connections or more of a project manager etc. …

I'm a Writer/Director based in Sunderland looking to get a short film project funded and produced within the next 6-8 months and wanted to see if there was anyone here looking for…

I know this is a dreaded funding question, but I've had a film accepted in to Hollyshorts which is only next month, but as you can imagine flights to the US are extortionate durin…

Yes, they help makers of short films, but not indi features! Go figure. I've just got into Busan IFF with a feature and can't find any support!

I think there's too much talk on here about making movies than actually doing it. I guess those who are actively working haven't got time to bitch and moan about the industry. Thi…

Sergio, you said you wanted the picture for your publicity. With your camera. So, to me it would look like false publicity.

People who saw the picture would assume you could …

any trusted or good reviews? thanks

Maybe you can clarify your question Sergio; are you looking to rent gear for yourself, or are you looking to rent your gear out to other filmmakers?

Not strictly a film matter, but I feel like it'd interest above the line folk.

I'm a big fan of podcasts, especially those that tell a story. Stuff from Gimlet and Ratiotopia suc…

Hey Sam, I dropped you an email. This is a most excellent idea and I would love to get involved if you'll have me.
