<div>I having checked out digital camcorders in awhile... Has anyone bought a new camera that they would like to comment on? <br/>im thinking of getting a new one but haven't done all the research yet.. I need one with fairly good quality because I want the video to look good on a larger screen when I submit my work to a film festival. <br/> <br/>Has anyone had any experience with this? im just getting back into things.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>So I produce my videos on Final Cut Pro 3 on my iMac and save it as a Quicktime Movie file, then upload it to Youtube and Myspace, and usually by the time it gets there, the quality has turned to shit (very grainy and pixelated). So my question is what are some ways to work with, save, compress, upload, etc. videos to preserve as much of the quality as possible?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Comments and feedback welcomed for this documentary idea i've had.... <br/> <br/>http://people.tribe.net/le4life/blog/e52e5069-a312-4783-9577-1689cfc7eddb#comments <br/> <br/>America's disproportionate reporting on white, attractive, female victims of crime has been a topic I've wanted to cover in a film for a few years now. Below is the mess of thoughts and observations I hope to someday put together into a cohesive documentary. Brutally honest feedback would be appreciated. <br/> <br/>IF I WAS A GIRL <br/>...I never would've even been born, literally. My parents really wanted a boy and tried three times unsuccessfully. After my three sisters, I was on the way, but due to China's anti-overpopulation policies, my parents weren't even supposed to be having any more children. My mom told me that the nurses let her slide because I turned out to be a boy. So Chinese attitudes (not now but back then) around boys versus girls make up the main reason I was conceived and delivered, and thus gender issues are sort of personal to me. <br/> <br/>PROSTITUTION, THE WORLD'S OLDEST PROFESSION <br/>In high school I developed an interest in the criminology and psychology of serial killers. A statistic that always stood out for me was the high percentage of victims being prostitutes. One reason street hookers make easy targets is because the illegality and stigma of their work prevents them from approaching police, reporters, and doctors like other victims. Furthermore, do law enforcers and the media treat serial murder cases with less urgency if they involve victims with unconventional lifestyles or jobs? And how is being a woman different in a country such as Amsterdam where sex work is regulated like any other business and where rates of rape, assault, and STD infections on prostitutes are much lower? <br/> <br/>DRUGS <br/>Decades ago, opium, cocaine, and marijuana became illegal because, according to the media, Chinese, black, and Mexican men - respectively - were using the substances to seduce or sexually assault white women. Protecting white females as a catalyst for drug prohibition persists to this day, in far more subtle ways. Before Bill Clinton left office, he signed an anti-GHB bill in honor of teenager Hillory Farias who had fell into a fatal coma after having drank something spiked with the depressant chemical. Had Farias not been white, could her overdose have sparked so much attention in the media and led to the criminalization of GHB? <br/> <br/>Come to think of it, what is the rate of teenagers of color experiencing such tragedies around drug misuse or abuse? I certainly don't know because reporters don't bring it up. Following the news for my work with DanceSafe.org, every story I saw about anyone who became addicted to or overdosed on ecstasy had the same profile: a middle-class white kid whose life in school and home was perfect before drugs ruined everything. How these reports highlighted the kids goes to show that the definition of an all-American teenager is still a very narrow and false one. According to the media, you should be happy if you're white and on the football team and getting crowned at your prom. <br/> <br/> <br/>YOUNG, PRETTY, AND ALL-AMERICAN <br/>My sisters were discussing the discovery of Laci Peterson's body one evening and I asked who they were talking about. Sarah asked if I had been asleep the past year to not know about this girl. The reason was that I never watch television or follow the news except for work. I don't see the point in obsessing with such cases - as tragic as they are - because every story is the same. And this brings me to a few more questions: <br/> <br/>1) What populations of American women are being ignored by the media? <br/>2) Why does this happen from a news industry perspective? <br/>3) Does more coverage equal better investigations of cases? <br/> <br/>Is the focus on the all-American damsel in distress promoting a certain idea of what girls are or should be? Firstly, reporters eulogize each victim as a successful student, loving housewife, or some other socially acceptable role model. Secondly, attractive images of the victim are circulated throughout headlines. What sickened me most about the coverage of Laci Peterson was that the shot of her cute dimple-faced smile was published repeatedly even though her head wasn't even attached to her body anymore. I'm sorry, but this is exploitation, not sympathy. If the media only values sexually appealing, well-behaved females, then is their reporting trend executed out of respect and sorrow, or out of a desire to objectify women and keep them in their place? <br/> <br/>COMPARED TO MEN... <br/>The focus on pretty white girls doesn't just exclude the majority of real female victims, but also the majority of male victims. Violent crime reporting in general reflects the urge to promote traditional gender roles - females as complacent, passive victims and males as aggressive perpetrators. The only major coverage on the assault or murder of a man occurs when the assailant is a woman. Because the context of women supposedly being well-behaved has already been established, a case like this will seem especially sensational and unique. <br/> <br/>This ideology is shared by our justice system. Women are now being imprisoned at a much faster rate than men, and their crimes - like the ones of their male counterparts - are often drug-related. The sentences they serve are often longer and harsher for the exact same offenses. Why is this? Take any judge or prosecutor or juror who believes women are supposed to be nurturing, gentle mothers and caregivers, and present them with a woman charged of drugs or violence, and how do you think they'll react? In essence, when men commit assault or abuse their children, it is natural and acceptable compared to when women do it, and American courts are acting accordingly.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I need a local dive bar for a location for the no-budget noir flick I'm making. The film is set in 1947, so while I'm not being a nazi for historical accuracy, I can't use uber-modern places. The mood I'm going for is sleazy run down dive -- a local watering hole, not a high class place. The action follows someone as they come in through the front door, walk directly to the bar, take a stool and order a drink, and have a conversation with the bartender and another patron. <br/> <br/>Features of the ideal place: <br/>*Small, dark place <br/>*Interesting bar and back bar <br/>*Interesting entryway, both interior and exterior <br/>*Pool table a big plus <br/> <br/>Deal breakers: <br/>*Too many TVs/ TVs in prominent areas that can not be shot around. <br/>*Modern bar fixtures like video games/microwave ovens <br/>*CD jukebox in a prominent area that can not be shot around <br/>*Neon signs or other promotional materials that are clearly modern and can not be temporarily covered or removed <br/>*Distinctly Modern decor that can not be covered, removed or shot around. <br/> <br/>I'm hoping to find a place in San Francisco, but for the *perfect* place I would be willing to go father afield. <br/> <br/>If you know of such a place, please, please, please drop me a line here or email me at noir@strafe.com </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I have an awesome documentary idea, but I lack the technology and partner to film it. I’m looking for someone in the bay area. I have final cut, but no Mac, I don’t have a camera, but wish to use a DVX 100, (but I’m open to others). OH, and lights!! I don’t mind renting equipment, but if someone already has access to equipment, and likes my idea, maybe you would like to work on this project with me? My degree is in Apparel design, but as elective classes, I chose film and editing. I am sure I am not as experienced as many of you, but I’m not completely ignorant. I don’t have experience in Pro tools. <br/>I picked up a great book on documentary filmmaking, though, I want to branch off from traditional styles. I hope to start in September, as I am busy putting a fashion show together for B-man. I would like to interview people from the bay area, but I also fancy taking a trip to NY for a few days to interview people there, (I have someone I/we can stay with). I want to interview as many people as I/we can, then use only the best of the best. I digress, if someone wants a fall/winter project shoot me an email. I want to take this seriously, but have fun, and would like to get it into an indie film festival.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>The City of Gloom is a place where the sun doesn’t exist, the rain never stops, and the people are so complacent that they refuse to do anything to change their situations. Max is a man who has never been content in his world. One day he can no longer hide his discontentment and he begins having problems with his wife, Glumda. When Glumda goes to bed in the evening, Max goes for a walk. While walking, Max meets an odd captain who has seen the sun and gives Max a postcard as proof. Max then makes the decision go with the captain, leaving the City of Gloom. Before Glumda leaves in the morning Max makes one final plea to her in the form of a kiss. She is discussed by her husband’s new and very odd behavior and leaves the house without an argument. With his things packed in a suitcase, before leaving the house, Max drops a letter and the postcard on the table for his wife to find. He leaves with the Captain and though he never returns to the City again, he sends his wife postcards as a reminder that the sun exists in world, if she would only choose to search for it.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I'm a total novice in the whole film making industry, and I need some opinions on which camera I should invest in. <br/> <br/>First off, I'm thinking panasonic is a good brand. I've heard that they're pretty good quality and a bargain of a price too boot! So, I've narrowed my search down to two cameras, the AG-DVC 30 and it's more expensive sibling the AG-DVX 100B. I've also considered the sony version of the AG-DVX 100, I think it's called HR1 something, I read somewhere that the panasonic was better and cheaper so I didn't presue it. Maybe you can change my mind, anyone whose tried the both of them. <br/> <br/>Anyways, I would love to hear anyones opinion on which, if any, I should choose. I'm open to other sugestions, but my budget is 3000.00 Canadian, maybe a little over because I know the DVX-100 B is a little over 3000 smackers. <br/> <br/>Even though I'm a total begginner whose starting film school in Sept.06, I am slightly specific in what I need and am looking for in a camera. I'm a fast learner, so don't feel shy to suggest something that might take some time to figure out. <br/> <br/>Ok, here it goes. I need a camera thats going to give me a film quality edge. I love the idea of having 24 frame quality to play with!! It can't weigh more than 5 pounds (in other words, has to be a hand held) and must be able to take a pretty decent night shot. Also because I might be moving around a lot with the camera, automatic stabilization is important. Sound quality is important too, but I don't mind buying extra features later on to improve that if I have to (but if I didn't have to, that would be great!) One last thing, the zoom has to be very co-operative (ie:good manual control and automatic focus), as well as preferably a 20x optical zoom. <br/> <br/>I think I have some pretty generic demands, but every camera I've read up on seems to lack in one of my requirements. I thought "what the hell, maybe you guys are on to something I'm not, that wouldn't be too far fetched considering I am an ameteur!"

Alot of interesting metaphors about the nature of evil and how it effects all of us. <br/>Martix 1: basicly I thought this film stood out as one that really had a great sense of style, plus it touched on some great spirtual ideas. <br/>American Beauty: This movie is by far the most interesting film I have ever seen, its about real life in a urban society. <br/> <br/>If you have any film suggestions please post!! <br/> <br/>thanks</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 25 replies </div>

<div>GALAXIE PICTURES is currently developing 'Unfiltered', the directorial debut for Creighton Vero, screenwriter of the indie cult hit 'Spun'. <br/> <br/>For more information contact: pete@galaxie-pictures.com <br/> <br/>SYNOPSIS: <br/> <br/>Teenage Sherri, a new arrival to Lake Charles, Louisiana, gets a rude awakening as the locals give her a slice of real Southern hospitality, small town style. Included in her Lake Charles initiation are some hard lessons on friendship, family, and bigotry—not the kind made of ephemeral remarks and incidental ostracizing of outsiders, but real and vicious institutional racism, the kind that ends in murder. <br/> <br/>Sherri arrives as the locals prepare for the funeral of Mary, the town’s Contraband Days Celebration Queen. With her death begins the shattering of the perfect picture of southern hospitality that she represents. Grieving is glossed over in favor of panic about the town’s quickly evaporating marijuana supply. What’s really died is the smiling welcoming south, and its warmth and hospitality are quickly replaced by a rapid growth of weeds. <br/> <br/>Then the ensemble cast of Unfiltered gradually unwinds into a hard picture of gritty southern life as facades of tolerance gradually peel / crumble away. What’s revealed is the stuff that’s usually swept under the carpet. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div> hi everyone, <br/>just joined here today. i'm a 34 yo visual artist, not into film making myself but i have a 10 year old son that is VERY interested in film making. <br/> <br/>I found this out because i gave him an old digi camera that a friend gave to me. Some how he figured out that he could make 30 second to 1 minute films with it and boy did he have a ball. he would have his two younger brothers pose battle scenes... he has filmed me frolicking in the flowers...a lot of fun. It is great to see that he has a passion for this and has told me he is very interested in making films. <br/> <br/>So about all I know about "starting" with directing making films is that you have to use "story boards" i know this from the special features on some DVD. <br/> <br/>I was wondering if any of you kind people can direct me to resources that can help me fuel his interest. Yes i do have dreams of the three of them starting a production company one day!! <br/> <br/>I want him to have something that explains the ins and outs and why story boarding is important and so on. <br/> <br/>any help would be appreciated. <br/> <br/>Thanks <br/>Lady T :-)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>Just wanted to introduce myself. <br/> <br/>You people are pretty impressive. I'm a 17 year old aspiring director and screenwriter. I've started many scripts and finished two. I lost one when my computer was destroyed, but I have the other. <br/> <br/>Now I'm working very seriously on a script that I hope to definitely take to the next level at some point. <br/> <br/>I'll be starting college next year and I'm unsure of what path to take. I am set on getting into film, but I'm afraid I won't be able to attend a university specifically devoted to it. There is a good community college nearby with an impressive film department. They actually have festivals every year or so... I think. I was thinking that maybe I could do something there, but I'm hell bent on attending the university. <br/> <br/>I'd really just like to know how to get involved in film. Does anyone know of any clubs or organizations? What can I do in college? I'm going to the University of Tennessee. <br/> <br/>Thanks for any help! I hope to learn something here. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 3 replies </div>

I can compose comfortably in the styles of: classical, electronica, alternative rock, jazz, bossa nova, flamenco, mexican "oom pa", spy thriller, tv themes (IE.

<div>OK, it has begun. <br/>The First Annual Silicon Valley Science Fiction Short Film Festival will be held October 8th in Mountain View, CA. <br/> <br/>We are currently accepting submissions of films 30 minutes and under (though we'll watch and might even show, anything under an hour if it's good enough) Science Fiction will be broadly defined as anything tech-themed or with serious elements of fantasy in the modern world. We'd also like to show a couple of tech-themed docs as a sort of cinematic sorbet. <br/> <br/>There is no submission fee. We can only show DVD, so we'd prefer DVD for review (which will also save a filmmaker from having the ship a presentation copy later) <br/> <br/>All enquiries can go to garcia@computerhistory.org <br/>and submissions should be accompanied by email address and any press info to <br/>Christopher Garcia <br/>1401 N.

<div>Just found this on another tribe. <br/>http://www.artbeats.com/ <br/> <br/>Artbeats is the leader in the Royalty-Free Digital Stock Footage industry. We provide feature quality imagery sourced from motion-picture film with licensing that allows unlimited use for nearly any purpose including broadcast. <br/> <br/>So it costs some money but maybe someone will need to use footage that they do not have time to create.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hey, <br/> <br/>I'm starting to learn iMovie and it's pretty straightforward except for one thing... <br/> <br/>My camera will let me shoot in 16x9 aspect ratio but when I hook it up to my computer it just stretches the frame back to normal size. I know there's a letterbox effect you can use but that's not the same thing. Does anyone know of a way to alter the iMovie frame size? <br/> <br/>I'd really appreciate it if someone could help. <br/> <br/>Thanks! <br/> <br/>Scotty</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 3 replies </div>

<div>K, I know its a little late to perform a critique on this movie but what the hell is up with the acting? I mean they spent a fortune on it and allot of it seems rushed.

<div>Hey! <br/> <br/>I'm a 20 year old wannabe film maker from North London, my interest is towards indie/ foreign/ offbeat i.e. La Haine and A Clockwork Orange. I'd like to create pictures that are thoughtful, artistic, with emphasis on scenery, using unorthodox ideas. Alongside myself I have other like minded acquaintances of similar age who are also budding film makers and for the foreseeable future we'll be trying to get a narrative 3 to 4 minute video, entitled "Last Stop is the Cliffs edge", on its way. <br/> <br/>Anyone who is interested in getting into contact from the local area, or wishing want to exchange ideas etc please do so, my ambition is to build a network of solidarity among young film makers to get something going, thanks. <br/> <br/>Emrah</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I've actually made a film once. It's now available for download (650mb, xvid format) at it's site: <br/> <br/>http://www.deathofcain.com <br/> <br/>there's also a new forum there. I think I'd actually like to hear what people have to say about it. I warn you, though: It's 46 minutes, without dialogue, presenting a twisted adaptation of the Biblical tale of Cain and Abel - and has sheep in it (they're actually quite good, the sheep). <br/> <br/>Basically, it all spun from two verses which leaped out to me from the original text: One is what God says to Eve, in Genesis 3 - "in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee". The second is what God says to Cain, in Genesis 4 - "sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him". If you take these two verses and compare them, you get a strange equation: God said to woman that her desire is for man and he shall rule over her - God said to man sin will desire him and he shall rule over sin. This kind puts woman and sin together, no? And if you compare the beginning of the verses - the act of sin is the act of bringing children, the act of Godliness taken away from God by Man. So that's where it all started. <br/> <br/>Lemme know. 10x.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 10 replies </div>

<div>hey there. my name is Todd, I live in Portland, and have been making independent films for about seven years. I have jumped down to LA to work on indies several times in the last three years, but consider my home to be Portland (this was my elenventh summer here). I work on both sides of the camera, although recently, with the exception of 1ADing a feature that we just wrapped, I've been spending more time in front of the camera. <br/> <br/>the projects I have worked on locally can be found at: <br/>http://www.mondaynightgig.com <br/>http://www.thesexychef.net <br/> <br/>I am always looking to stay busy on projects, and enjoy meeting other film folk and viewing their projects.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>Hey just wanted to throw this out there for ideas and if its already been done, Also Id like to see if anyone else is interested in doing a production like this. I went on a trip to Europe last year, first time out of the country so I didn't really have any concrete plans about what I wanted to film, but after being back for a year I realized that maybe talking about the act of traveling on your own might be a interesting documentary idea. Motor Cycle dairies, kind of did it, but I would like to focus on the culture of backpacking. <br/> <br/>From a backpacker’s point of view, traveling under the radar of tourism with backpackers that never left the country to see how culture, history and traveling from place to place changes them. Id like to document the ins and outs of travelers getting around all by them self’s, learning the language and culture of specific countries, talking/meeting with the locals and other travelers; and the adventure of finding secret travel spots. Also Id like to focus on hostel interactions, how easily people that never knew each other before, get together to form lasting friendships, how some form traveling groups to share in the experience of visiting a new place. I would like to specifically document the changes in there personality, how they handled challenges of getting around, communicating with locals, and how traveling the unknown affected their decisions in life, during and after the trip, and what they plan on doing in the future because of what happened to them on there trip. <br/> <br/>Any comments, ideas, or suggestions would be appreciated.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I Just got back from Collateral. I thought the movie did a very good job of bringing out into the open the notion of how little time we have on this earth and to make the best of it. <br/> <br/>I thought it was interesting how similar the two characters Max and Vincent were regarding the lives they have chosen for themselves, and how alone they both seemed. In the Hospital with Max’s Mother she mentions that you have to hold a gun to Max’s head for him to actually do anything. Vincent the hired killer takes a position of apathy during the last act when he argues with max about how events seem more like equations and mathematical probabilities. He seemed bitter that life isn’t more than that when he hammered Max on why he has been a cab driver for 12 years, making no real attempts to make something happen with his limo business. <br/> <br/>Finally Max is forced to make choices he would have never made on his own. Crashing his Cab and then going after Vincent to protect the women. <br/> <br/>At the end when they are both facing each other on the train, while Vincent is dying, max says "We're all most at the next stop”, I think Vincent Replies, "I wonder if anyone will notice a dead man on the train?” <br/> <br/>After that scene I remember distinctively feeling a strong sense of determination to not let life pass me by because I am too concerned about what people think about my actions. <br/>“We’re almost at the next stop” to me means, death is just around the corner, use your time wisely. <br/> <br/>I remember in the cab Vincent mentioned that he hated the idea that a dead man had ridden a train for hours without anybody noticing. I kind of feel that way around most people in this area as well. Not too many people care what happens to people outside there immediate sphere of influence.. It’s a real tragedy if you ask me.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://aspiringfilmmakers.tribe.net">Aspiring Film Makers</a> - 1 reply </div>
