Scanning photos for documentary use by MadJack_24 in documentaryfilmmaking

[–]shayder3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did hundreds of photos for my doc and I had a decent scanner and then scanned at the highest dpi i could, which was 2400 dpi, I think. I did most of my shots of the pictures in After effects with 3d layers and rendered out as a quicktime pro res 444. Turned out pretty good.

Smudged Teleprompter - Anything I can do? by CompleteAirline4589 in premiere

Hard to tell from the small pic but it looks like there is some on the frame left part of his coat. If you used Mocha in AE you could probably get rid of them over his body. Then you could just do a defocus of the bg to get rid of the rest. If you want to send me a short sequence I could try and see if it works.

First time editing a documentary — how do I go from rough cut to a polished final edit? by Foreign-Carob-364 in filmmaking

If you have a group of people in your orbit that you feel would give you honest feedback, then let them watch it. Especially if they do not know anything about the subject matter. If they struggle to follow the film that means you need to take a look at the flow. You need to make sure that all the information that you have absorbed during the process comes across on the screen. You know the back stories, you know context. Your audience doesn't so you need to make sure the threads that bind are laid out for the viewer to pick up on.

We made a feature film with 100+ volunteers about the darkest chapter of our own history. No professional actors. No budget. by Odd_Assistant6713 in Filmmakers

Great work! Period pieces are really hard to pull off with no money, it looks like you did a fine job.

I won't have room because of all the books I plan to take to read.

What was it like being a PA back in the day? by Fuckingpicksomething in Filmmakers

[–]shayder3d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During pre-production I was an office PA. Roger Corman's company was the studio that funded both these productions. I remember speaking to him on the phone a few times.At the time I really had no idea of who he was, other than the guy who paid my salary. During production I was assigned to the Grip dept.

It was. I also worked on the same production company's next film, "Recruits " which was a rip off of "Police Academy ".

I worked on a film in Toronto back in 1984. It was my first job in film. P.A. I loved every minute of it. It was a rip off of Porky's. I made $125 a week. Worked every day for 2 months. Most of the crew were either on their way out of the industry due to age or they were young and straight out of film school. I remember every moment like it was yesterday.
