MattHawkins Online - Film Making Forum

Nice try man, worked quite well. I don't think i need to echo the "doesn't work with noir" genre, but i do have to say kudos for filming it as a film noir.

Have watched the godfather so many times and i sitll cant work out how Sonny is able to climb out of the car whilst being shot by about 20people? Also, why does the guy at the end kick him in the face? Thats just taking the p***.

I've used final draft and Celtx and i find Celtx better to use, and its free!

I dont think the sex and the profesional help are ment to be linked there.

MS Paint? Nicely done is all i can say, usually when i try and edit things in Paint it looks like a 3 year old has had an accident in a crayon factory.

Sorry about the off topic-ness aspect of these posts, but no one else was posting any way so i can't see really whats so wrong with it, join in you might have some fun. Anywho i like your real logo, it has aspects of the retro one and the other one in the same pic, which is cool. I did mean to go fr...

This is possibly the most funniest thread on here, arguments, Whiskey, tylenol and Freed's Amazing picture.

One of my friends in college was robbed at the local co-op when he was working. He had a 12 bore farmers shotgun put to his face. So even in this sleepy corner of the UK there are still guns which are used and technically its legal to own a shotgun like that if you have a licence etc.

I prefered the font on the other one, but the clapper in the middle is good. Also i think the more defined shadow in the first one was better too. But still it's more interesting from my company logo;

Is the XL1s any good? I've found one on ebay for £700, i don't have anywhere near the money for it (It'll take most of my student loan). But i'm preying that for some reason they crash in price so i can snap one up, i'd be out filming right now if i could attach an external mic to the mv750i, but...

O just noticed something, love your pic Keith, nice production company logo.

The thing which most p*** me off about it was that my crappy camera just wouldn't focus, and it wasn't because it was dark, i couldn't get it to focus all day when the wide angle lens was on - take the wide angle lens off and you couldn't get anyone else in shot. If any one wants to donate a decent ...

Sorry, it has to be done. Waynes world is one of the best metal/rock comedies in the world, and this scene helped to fuel Queen's career in the US. Click to view it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNjhiwmX7Is This was just a 5 minute thing me and my mates did the other day with my Canon MV750i...

I'm willing to do some camera work and have e-mailed one of the addresses there and haven't recieved any reply, is assistance still required?

Bulldog i personally think you are on the right track. Ok, the contrast was off and i think you really needed to white balance it, but its a mistake i know i've made now and then, just forgetting to press one button on your camera doesn't make you a cr** film maker, so don't worry about it. I think ...

Nice, i really really really need a decent camera i've got a MV750i (which i got 3 years ago to start out with) and there isn't any point using it if you want anything that looks (or sounds) professional. It's got 1CCD and only has a internal stereo mic with no mic inputs, which is really bad. I thi...

I'd be interested in seeing where this statistic came from

Not really sure that that is 100% legal though - depends whether you'd like to risk it or not.

Im currently doing a degree in film and media studies which has a good mix of theory and practical production. The idea was that i'd take this course and produce movies on the side, but it hasn't worked out like that because it's taking up pretty much all of my time. But it's teaching me all of the ...

The intense feeling of comradeship in this forum is inspirering.

I thought you were against colour correction in post-prod rhys

Transfering "standard" prose into script format can be a difficult task thought. That was one of the hardest things i found about writing scripts. To start with i just wrote them in the script layout right from the start, but soon i found that it was restricting my creative thoughts and id...

If you were to wait for USB transfer, you'd probally die of old age before you would see your footage. I was lucky enough to have a laptop which came with a firewire port (and a 17" widescreen) and didn't bother with using USB after i tried it around one of my friends. Pinnicle studio comes wit...

I love that picture, its great.

If you only lived a wee bit closer then i'd be down there like a shot.

Geez i wish i had that sort of budget to play with, i'd actually be able to film one or two of the scripts i've written.

Which film school are you at?
