| | | Posted by curious cat ... this new way opens the doors for alot more work and ideas to get out there.
| And with this comes a bunch of crap as well. I'm all for digital, because it makes it easier for me to do what I love to do, but now it is also easier for passionless idiots to make crap. This isn't directed at you, I think the work you have shown is very promising. You, curious cat, have a natural eye for the subject, sure you'll learn more techniques through experience that will polish your work, but at the core it is solid. I've seen so many lame hack job independent films that I now sometimes get sick at the thought of going to a local film festival, but somewhere in the murky water is pure gold. Hollywood for the most part sucks these days, and now independent cinema is being overrun with iMovie kids making Kevin Smith movie parodies. I love Kevin Smith don't get me wrong, but do I want to see Joe Blow and his fat cousin pretend to be Bluntman and Chronic. Nope. Fortunately the cream rises to the top, except in Hollywood, where FOX can take a highly profitable franchise such as Alien and Predator and make a worthless 70 min pile of shlock. ooops....I'm ranting. Sorry. Keep following the dream! Asylunt Edit: For ETMJ I know what you mean, if you shoot a lot and want to get it transferred, then you don't pay so much, but Film & Video services charges a min 400 ft. that's at $0.12 a ft. plus the $15 set up fee and the $10 tape charge. $73 bucks for 12-15 mins of film, Why? Here's the cheap and easy way, get a super-8 projector, a decent screen, and a mini-dv cam. Late at night close all your shades, and do the transfer yourself, it will look just as good, if not better because you'll be able to monitor it. I had super-8 transferred to dv at Film & Video services and there was so much dust and hair on the transfer I made them do it a second time. The woman there can be a real bitch sometimes. Hope that helps. I picked up a projector and screen cheap at a church rummage sale. If you have trouble finding one, I'll have my dad send up mine from KC.
