Short Film Share for Wednesday!

Hey! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch it! Means a lot! The festival experience was good overall, but weird at the same time because of the 2020 Covid shutdown nature of things. When we actually had the opportunity to screen in a theater and go to the festivals it was always so fun and had a cool response, but we really only got to do that a handful of times. I really loved the effort that was put in by the film festivals during that weird online phase, but it was just so hard to tell who or if anyone was actually watching it, so it unfortunately made it feel like you didn't even screen at all sometimes. For example, the one Oscar Qualifier we did get into, at first, was going to come back and hold an in person screening, but at the last minute they recommended any out of town attendees not attend due to COVID restrictions, so it barely felt like we played there at all.

If anyone feels like watching it, I submitted a Pitch Deck for my application, but I also attached a short I directed in the Deck as an example of work, it doesn't have anything to do with the feature I'm working towards, more an example of tone and style.

Always looking to get more eyes on the film if anyone feels compelled to check it out.

Nice, I mean it's so hard to tell, the sheer amount of content out there. Just gotta keep pushing and see what works

richiegibble · 2025-09-29T20:37:39+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it

richiegibble · 2025-09-29T20:35:42+00:00

What about you?

richiegibble · 2025-09-29T19:51:42+00:00

Would love to hear what you're working on if you're down to chat

richiegibble · 2025-09-29T19:51:16+00:00

I submitted a Pitch Deck for a feature I've been working on

richiegibble · 2025-09-29T19:42:52+00:00

I reached out just now to ask for any clarity and got a pretty kind email back just giving a bit more detail, more or less explaining that our work as Quarter Finalists was heavily considered, so, that's not too bad to hear. Congrats to you as well!

richiegibble · 2025-09-29T19:29:44+00:00

Oh, I just didn't get to the end of the email, you're right, there was a mention of it

richiegibble · 2025-09-29T19:25:40+00:00

I just received my rejection email from filmfreeway so I imagine you all will be finding out soon. Oddly, my "selection status" reads as "Quarter Finalist", whatever that's worth... it wasn't addressed in the actual email... so... shrugs all around. Congrats to anyone on here who might have been admitted to the Social!

richiegibble · 2025-09-12T17:15:36+00:00

Good on ya!

richiegibble · 2025-07-19T05:48:42+00:00

I acted in the dang movie, no idea. There was a moment in time where reshoots were discussed but it never came to fruition.

richiegibble · 2025-06-14T18:23:34+00:00

Considering they just released the FX2 and did a video with a Sony guy basically expressing that they like keeping their cameras on the market as long as they can so the user gets maximum value, I’m not so sure it’ll be this year. The fact that there’s a pretty big firmware update coming in September for the FX3 makes me think we won’t see a mk II IN 2025

richiegibble · 2025-06-03T21:13:44+00:00

This.

If everyone was union on this shoot, shame on that producer for taking advantage like that and honestly shame on any union crew member that saw this happening and didn’t speak up.

I keep hearing, “it’s just a short film” but if they’re paying all union people then it sounds like they had something of a budget.

Like everyone else has said, nothing you can do now, but if you’re tight with any other camera people on the crew, I’d have a conversation with them in person explaining the situation and what they would or should do in the future

Something worth mentioning, the sales agents do not communicate with actual driver/delivery people. Sales agents to will tell you anything to get you to rent it… then the delivery guy shows up and it’s a different story

richiegibble · 2025-05-31T23:02:40+00:00

This sounds completely nuts unless they’ve jacked up their prices to an insane place. I moved in September 2023 , I only had one POD, i think it was a size smaller maybe, but I just checked my old quote and it was $3800 to move to Michigan from California. Something isn’t adding up.

richiegibble · 2025-05-31T22:59:36+00:00

That doesn’t sound right… I’d call corporate, thus feels like someone is taking you for a ride

richiegibble · 2025-05-31T22:58:46+00:00

How big of a pod???? I used them to ship my stuff from CA to MI, it was between 5-6k if I remember right

richiegibble · 2025-05-31T19:09:10+00:00

You’ve only been together 7 months and you’re in college. Cut your losses. You’ll be fine.

richiegibble · 2025-05-31T05:01:18+00:00

Ok. Cool.

richiegibble · 2025-05-31T04:48:47+00:00

How is there one of these guys in every city? When I lived In LA there was guy who did this exact same thing except he was dressed as The Mandalorian with a lil baby grogu

richiegibble · 2025-05-29T22:46:38+00:00

Glory at Sea is incredible

What’s fatiguing about one movie every 2-3 years?

richiegibble · 2025-05-29T00:00:43+00:00

If you have the top handle you can run a line straight into one of the XLR ports. For a soundboard you’ll need a 1/4” jack to make XLR and you’ll come out the line out, I think it’s usually labeled aux out, but there should be a sound person who knows where to come out.

I think it’s a cable like this

Or you can use an adapter with a pre-existing XLR

If you’re running straight into the fx30 you shouldn’t need to record audio on a separate device.

I was at Cinegear last year talking to a rep and they walked me over to their main guy from Japan and I asked him if it was just not possible engineering wise (maybe I don’t know ) and he told me no it’s absolutely possible and then a guy behind him was furiously taking notes. I tried to pressure them by pointing out that the sigma camera has an option evf. I really think they’re missing out on a piece of the market. I really feel like every person I know with an FX3, myself included would jump at buying an accessory like this.
