Wednesday, July 4th, 2007Hey all, we’ve been busy over here on the farm.
To keep you informed of what’s been happening, this past weekend we shot 18 pages of script in just 2 days. For those not in the know, the average film shoots between 3 to 5 pages of script a day - so we were rolling. So, [...]

The Life of a Film Maker
Sunday, June 24th, 2007How many times have you been in a conversation with a new face and then the question comes up, “What do you do for a living?”
This is always asked in a conversation with someone that’s never been around film before. When someone asks me what I do for a living, I tell them I am [...]
Blu-Ray High Definition Format Now Backed By Blockbuster
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007Blockbuster has announced it will solely carry the Blu-Ray High Definition Format and not the HD-DVD format! This is big news, people. Really big news.
Why? The big question for the past few years has been whether to buy an HD-DVD player or a Blu-Ray player. Last year, they were released and people started buying them [...]
Are You A Maryland Area Film or Video Producer, Director, DP, or Production Company??
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007Are you in the area? Are you involved with Film or Video?
Just as a conversation starter, I wanted to see who was shooting film and/or video in the area. What projects have you taken on? What Film Festivals or other venues have you had success with in the area? Any other things you’d like to [...]
Do You Find Yourself Watching More TV or Streaming Video?
Sunday, June 10th, 2007I figured I’d throw this out as a conversation starter (feel free to login and add your comment), but, per week, do you find yourself watching more Television programming or Streaming Internet Video (Youtube, etc.)?
I realize Hollywood still spends billions of dollars on television programming a year, but in this day and age, with people [...]
So You Want to Buy A Film or Video Camera, But Don’t Know What to Get
Thursday, June 7th, 2007Not sure whether to get a film or video camera? Are the choices straining your brain and making you look at your wallet with disdain? Has the term “24p” been written on various walls in your sleep? Have you daydreamed about locking in your PL mounted lens?
I’ve been there too. Choosing a new camera is [...]
What Do You Do When You Get Screwed By A Producer?
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007Let’s say you were the Director Of Photography on a big project, and you were promised $500 a day. After the shoot wrapped, you gave the producer all the footage you’d shot and went home. You expected to be paid in full, since, after all, you worked for two weeks without a day off, and [...]
Using Creative Commons Music For Your Film? Why Not?
Sunday, June 3rd, 2007First, a brief history lesson (read on, it gets good - I promise):
Originally, if you were on a film budget, you only had one of four options for acquiring music for your film:
1) Make the music yourself. Of course, if you weren’t a musician, this was not good.
2) Get a musician friend to donate his/her [...]
Filmmaking With A Digital Camera
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007What is filmmaking exactly? It’s really just putting pictures into motion. You can add sound for even more of an effect, but sound isn’t truly necessary to make a “Motion Picture”.
I often hear people making up excuses as to why they can’t shoot a film. Some of these excuses are really bad, some not quite [...]

Review: Recording Stereo Sound With the Zoom H4
Monday, May 21st, 2007I bought a Zoom H4 for doing my sound recording last week and so far I gotta say that I’m pretty happy with it. The buttons and interface are a little weird, and not very easy to get used to, but other than that, it’s not a bad recorder. I like being able to record [...]
