Kawaii!:) asked:


I know I need a clamp light, but what for? I am a new director so everything is new to me. What else do I need besides a camcorder and a clamp light?

Transferring Super 8 Movie Film to digital?

movies and film
rann_georgia asked:


I have transfer box where the projector shines in a lens on one side and the other side has a small screen where a camcorder records the image.

I’m getting a good, sharp image on the screen but the camcorder recording flickers like a camcorder recording a TV program.

What can I do to stop the flicker? It’s not doing it on the screen only on the camcorder recording. And, what’s the best setting to render the most accurate color for these old Kodachrome movies? Thanks.

Filming tips, on a screenplay, ANGLES, LIGHTING, ECT?

Script Writing Tips
firefly asked:


Hey! I am in 10th grade and currently writing, directing, and producing a short film. It will range between 25-30 minutes. I have the script completed and am looking forward to filming this baby, but need some help.

I want this thing to look as professional as I can make it. I have some video editing software, it isn’t Final Cut Pro, but it gets special effects and the like done.

I was wondering if anyone had any sites or tips that they would advise me to follow when filming this. I’ve already looked around on the internet and read a lot of good advice I wouldn’t have thought of, such as using external mics, headphones in the camcorder, and 3 pt lighting. I’m pretty much a noob when it comes to this filiming.

Any advice for this thing would be appreciated. The script, I think, came out great. I’ve gotten some advice from friends, and I reworked it so it’s a real thriller. There will be a foot chase/ car chase in a downtown city area. Any advice?

THANK YOU!

Why do people film movies while watching the movie?

movies and film
Random asked:


I watch movies online and I notice that a lot of people will use a camcorder to film a movie from the movies. ( I wont watch if they do) The quality is horrible and ruins the whole movie. Why do people do this?
oh I know the movies I watch online are illegal LOL, I was just questioning, why anyone would even want to watch that crap. It ruins the whole movie. I wont watch them when there like that because it just seems like an old movie and I would rather watch a clean copy. Makes me not intrested.
