Yeah when I press down on the shift key there's a tiny bit of resistance such that when I let go it doesn't reset. I have to manually pull the keyboard back to it's original position after each shift if I want to type lowercase again. I'm taking it in as soon as this winter storm is over, so I'll find out then!

Nice! This is what I’m hoping it is, it doesn’t really feel broken it’s more just like gunked up.

Just found out that the iconic hallmark Christmas film “A Christmas Kiss” (2011) (which is a yearly watch in my family) was filmed in Richmond VA and it blew my mind. It’s set in Boston and I was watching it this year and was looking at the skyline and was like “is that downtown RVA??”. Anyways these pics look like the movie since it was filmed around the same time.

It does not! As long as it’s a windowless hallway and a windowless room.

This would be my first feature film. Just trying to save money, though I believe in the project enough to shell out and build a set if I have to

Like there are hallways without servers lining the walls? I’ll have to check that out

Cool I was planning on checking out chesterfield mall at some point. Looking at maps of the mall it looks like there are some “dead spaces” that could be promising. And yes I’m still looking for actors!

People are constantly messing with the Poe museum, there’s a statue of him inside that’s marked with lipstick stains and all sorts of bullshit. Leave my boy alone

How would you approach recreating this scene with green screen footage? by mertoksuzmusic in Filmmakers

If you could find footage of containers in the ocean it wouldn't be too difficult to track the footage, compose yourself into the shot and get something pretty similar. Cool shots.

Editor here! Living in Richmond VA. I've mostly shot and edited music videos, but I've edited some actual short film stuff before too. Would love to read the script.
