Four web series you should NOT create.
2008-08-18 20:50:00
I’ve been talking quite a bit about how to create a successful web series, and the types of content that work well on the internet. The honest truth is, there are probably a ton of great ideas I’ve never considered. Even more likely, there are a bunch of things which I would say ...
Want to be a filmmaker? Maybe you should start a web series?
2008-08-12 17:22:00
Everyone knows that breaking into the film world is tough, if not nearly impossible. The cost of creating a film is enormous, and the likelihood of making a profit on your first feature is extremely small. But over the past few months, I’ve realized there is a better way. That way is ...
A Computer for High Quality Filmmaking
2008-05-29 19:07:00
We all know most ameteur filmmakers lack quality equipment and gear that professionals have at their disposal to make high-quality programming. Well, this computer, a HP Pavilion Elite m9255.uk PC with Phenom?X4 9500 Quad Core processor, may go some way in changing the balance in giving ameteur filmmakers the ability to make an edit films that can allow them to work on a greater-level playing field, that is if they are serious about filmmaking, of course.

Filmmaking in Austin
2008-03-27 02:08:00
For a long time, Austin has been considered the “Third Coast” in the film industry, with more filmmakers on the rise in Austin, and more Hollywood types coming to Austin to shoot their movies. One of the biggest proponents of the up and coming filmmakers is UT’s Radio-Television-Film department. Though the film courses are a challenge to get into, with many vying for a slot and low numbers of students per class, many consider the red tape worth it, as UT has become a highly regarded film school, comparable to UCLA or NYU. Though UT’s film school is on the rise, Austin is still not the heart of the movie industry, but some graduate students have taken it upon themselves to get UT’s student films in from of Hollywood big shots, and created their own film festival called CinemaTexas. The award winners of the UT student film festival, with help from prominent UT alumni, get their movies screened before the Director’s Guild in Los Angeles, solidifying Cinema...

This all-in-one camera/editor does it all, and makes me wish it was around when I was much younger, and falling in love with filmmaking.  Kids can shoot, edit, add music and graphics, and easily upload to YouTube to show off their masterpieces!  They can even shoot green screen and add FX to it (seriously).  Wow!It only costs around $100 USD, but I saw it walmart.com for $40!  Though I wonder if it's an older model on clearance.  You can buy it pretty much anywhere, like Amazon, Toys R Us, etc.For more, visit riproarmedia.com.

Learning filmmaking backwards
2007-10-20 16:00:00
Cinematic production is traditionally a linear progressive process - From script, to storyboard, to shoot, to edit to sound mix to delivery. Subsequently, more often than not, we teach cinematic production following the same linear progression. At both secondary and tertiary levels we tend to examine in learning each element of production process in much the same order as a traditional production would function; script first, then camera, then post-production editing and sound. But is this really the best or most effective way to teach filmmaking?The fundamental cornerstone of all engaged and effective learning is context. Communicating and teaching a concept in the abstract, disconnected from other ideas or process, is far more difficult than when the new concept is tangibly connected to other already understood ideas. Simile, metaphor and example are at the heart of good teach by their ability to construct context around a new idea.It is here that we might see the underlying probl...

Filmmaking Applications I Use On Macs (And Windows)
2007-10-17 06:53:00
s an independent filmmaker, I can't afford to spend too much on software to help get a film (or even a TV/video project) made.  Fortunately, much of the industry standard software is affordable to begin with, or there are plenty of great alternatives out there you can use.  Without these apps, it's harder to make a film, at least for me.DEVELOPMENTFinal Draft: I was always writing scripts in Word for Mac (or Windows), or any variation on that app, such as ClarisWorks (later, AppleWorks) and so forth.  In early 2000, I bought Final Draft based on the great things I've heard.  After giving it a whirl, I noticed my writing time decreased by more than half.  This great program does the formatting for you.   There are also tools, such as Tagger, that allows you to highlight scene headings, characters, props, etc., with specific colors, which creates a specific file used to schedule the movie, budget, etc.  Even my first assistant director frien...

Filmmaking Manifesto final analysis
2007-10-08 16:00:00
Paul Lyzun has bee bravely tackling not just his own educational process but cinematic education in general. Paul has produced a series of 5 detailed podcasts that analyze the points I raised in the Filmmaking Manifesto I wrote serveal months ago and plays them against the educational institution he is currently studying at. He has at last come to the last in the series which is a look back at the ideas he has explored in the context of the Manifesto. Pauls eagerness to explore the value of his own education and to question what it is that he is learning is to be commended and will, without question, result in his own skills and knowledge being far more developed than his eductaion on its own could produce.

Site Review: Digital Filmmaking Blog
2007-06-05 23:47:00
Digital Filmmaking Blog is as the title says - a blog on film making - digital filmmaking to be precise. It is authored by who else, but yours truly :-) Its tough maintaining 2 blogs when blogging is a hobby you cannot devote your full time to! It is quite unfair to review my own blog, but I'll give it a try. I'd rather appreciate that my readers check it out and post their thoughts and comments here. Now to the review. Filmmaking is quite a specialized subject, in which few people might be interested in. By those I mean people like film school students, amateur filmmakers, independent and short filmmakers and so on...But those who are genuine movie buffs and appreciate the art and craft of cinema also follow the ways of making a film. It is quite exciting, challenging, well paying and of course a lot of hard work! Now my blog focuses on ways to make a good digital film - things like choosing the right camera, Shooting for the Web, DV Shooting Tips, how to film from a car and so o...
Ahana Deol to take up filmmaking

We have seen all the deol siblings in the bollywood film industry, who wouldn't expect the youngest member of the family Ehana Deol to also emerge. But there is a difference here, where all the elder siblings pursued acting as their career, Ehana is going to stay behind the scenes and beome a director, it is not much known about the movie, but its about a man who faces lots of hardships in his life. The proud papa Dharmendra is more than glad when his daughter’s decision and feels it would be a pleasure to work under his baby girl.

the indispensable rules of filmmaking
2007-04-23 16:00:00
As I'm involved to a large degree in education centred around media production, application training and theory I'm very often asked by people younger than myself about paths to travel, where to study, what they need to know to be a media-maker? Standard answers are easy - university, college, film-school, apprenticships and so on. But nothing is really more succint that these three links from exposure.co.uk- The 10 things you need to be a film director- The 10 minute film school- Church of the Holy Gaffer TapeMost of all its Rober Rodriguez's comments that speak to me and to the digital generation: "being creative is not enough in this business. You have to become techinical. If you're creative and technical, you're unstoppable."
