You might wanna turn your speakers up as it is a bit quiet/muffled (we used a camera with a bad mic, okay?). This is from my new film "Powers". You can see the whole script on the Scripts borad. I just posted this on YouTube as a teaser. ENJOY!

Lol, has it really been aproved for the audiences? Thats so amature...

Im jokin calm down.
U dont have enough angles and there all long wide shots.
U cant hear what they say and it looks like it took you 5 mins to make.
I dont understand why its called ':Powers'.

Later in it the main characters (Tim, Sam and Darren) get super powers. Is it worth me dubbing it if it is so in-audioable?

It didn't take 5 minutes to make, BTW. It took about half an hour, as first time we tried it I missed I line out, second time I tried it I kicked one of the metal bike thingys so I nearly broke my foot and so forth.

My only critisms are the fact that you can barley hear either of your actors. You really need to try and get a shotgun (directional) mic instead of using the one which is built into the camera. They are two far away for the mic to pick the dialogue up with any clarity and because the setting is all brick or concrete you're getting a nasty echo. Also i'm not sure how well the music fits into it - although its hard to tell from a teaser trailer.

Yeah, or you could just have some closer angles where u hear whats going on.

Yeah, but for the shots with the evil guys, I wanted some long shots so you can see more things like contrast between the light and dark areas in the hideout. I think it makes it look better. Anyway, I'm gunna dub it today while I'm filming another short film: SATURDAY!

Be very careful when dubbing, having tried it before i know how hard it can be to make it sound good. You need to mix the sound exactly right for you to believe its coming from the characters on screen.

Question to the Host: Are you acting in this film, what exactly is your role? And also, do you have actors doubling up as camer men, sound people, whatever, etc. And also do you use the good old standard cam corder?

I play JONATHON (the guy at the beggining) and yeah, we have whoevers not acting in the scene take over camera (most of the time until the end, me) and we use Mini DV (at least thts what I think its called) Camecorders. Everyone seems to have them these days, so its no problem me not having one

YEah same as us: sorry guys if we're loosing topic here.

MadCowFilms · Post by **MadCowFilms** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 4:44 pm

Yeah... back to topic...

Has it been approved for ALL AUDIENCES? I think it's illegal to say that if it isn't true.

. When is

owers coming out anyway?
