At your age do something without weapons instead of any kind of weapons-- small mistakes have huge consequences. The "we're just going to be in the school basement" turns into "police report that the dead student was holding a fake gun" in a heartbeat. To make movies you need to be smart-- not doing something that sounds right but is really something stupid, and that means getting experts with...

Thank you, rolo tomasi u: A straight answer to a straight question. Colcam: People who throw stones, especially when they have so little to offer themselves, make me sad and embarrassed.

Agreed. Good sound starts in the script, not in post-production.

by - fionaman on Tue Nov 3 2009 10:35:34 I was wondering how good a blimp would work on a K3. Anyone know? A good blimp will work well on K3. A bad one will not work well. What would be the best route for me if I'm looking to shoot a 10 minute sound short? Should I just rent? No way to know the best route for you. Renting is a great option.

Not a bad little silent short.

The scene isn't complete, the sound is a mess, there's a few shots that need to be extended, a few that need to be shortened, a few shots have to be refilmed So, and I mean this with no disrespect...but what would be the point of commenting on the scene, if the above things are still waiting to be done? I watched it...and seriously, there is no reason to comment on it, because yes, it needs all those things....which you apparently...

I haven't seen it, so for all I know, you're right. But the market doesn't lie. While you might not have enjoyed this one, a lot of people have. Isn't that what this business is about - finding audiences?

Thanks, and another thing I was thinking of doing was either spray painting a water pistol black, doing the shots of the fake guns (if I use water pistols) very backlit so all you see is their silhouette and it looks like a real gun, or just doing the shooting offscreen or use some sort of trick photography, but I don't know how awkward that last one will be if I do end up doing that.... But yeah, about the teacher thing, the only camera...
