It has been a while since my last post. We just released our latest indie sci-fi short THREE PILLS shot on the new Canon C500MK2 and I would be thrilled to hear your opinion.

Some time back, we had this idea on doing a short showing what our overpopulated and aging world could look like in 2050. Back then, we had no idea how realistic it would become in such a short time.

Genre: Sci-fi I Thriller Duration: 2 Min. 33 Sec.

Thanks so much for your time!

My zero budget feature film shot entirely on the BMPCC :-) http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/22682/my-zero-budget-feature-film-shot-entirely-on-the-bmpcc- Tue, 01 Oct 2019 06:16:16 +0000 disease8 22682@/talks/discussions As a long standing member of this forum and always finding inspiration and advice for my low budget DIY filmmaking, I wanted to share my zero budget feature film Polar:

More info about the making of the film here: https://www.dominicjacksonfilms.com/polar

It is a drama comedy about substance abuse, mental health and not fitting in. If you enjoy it please share the link and please leave a review on IMDB and AMAZON we really need it as we hardly have any!

Thanks so much for your time if your get to watch it I hope you like it, it is available at higher resolution and without the stamp in the corner for a low cost, the money will be used to keep the film production moving forward and possibly making another feature!

It is on Reelhouse.org and Amazon UK and USA.

Thank so much hope you enjoy and please subscribe to us on youtube I will be making more videos about the making of Polar and other similar stuff.

Regards, Dom.

Is there a point to shooting an indie feature film in 4K?? http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/11525/is-there-a-point-to-shooting-an-indie-feature-film-in-4k Thu, 09 Oct 2014 09:52:13 +0000 IronFilm 11525@/talks/discussions I was just wondering about 4K myself for a indie film I'm the DoP for.

As a DoP I see 4K as falling solidly into the "nice to have" camp, but also being very non-essential (at least for now, this will change with time). So I really don't mind hugely either way, to have 4K or not. There is other more important considerations to take care of first.

But maybe there is an extra point to 4K that I'm missing when viewing it solely through my DoP eyes.... and that is marketing!

Might it make it easier for the producer/director to sell afterwards if it is a "shot in 4K" film? I thought I read somewhere that there are content providers (for instance Amazon who announced they'll be filming all their created content in 4K) who have a lack of 4K content and thus could pick up indie 4K films simply as "4K fillers"? It is after all very common to read consumer articles about the lack of 4K content out there.

Dolly recommendations? http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/3257/dolly-recommendations Fri, 18 May 2012 12:05:33 +0000 sdbest 3257@/talks/discussions I'm in the market for a dolly system costing < $2,500 for a feature (see http://savingdinah.com). We're using a GH2 in a cage for most of the shots, but also a Sony EX1. There's a number of products available from Kessler Flex Track, Indie Dolly Systems, Merlin Video which fit the budget. A flex track system seems a good way to go.

So, looking for recommendations from folks who might have some experience with the products on the market.

Thanks.

Indie Belgian feature FILM NOIR - CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/10226/indie-belgian-feature-film-noir-crowdfunding-campaign Tue, 22 Apr 2014 16:33:43 +0000 jdesmedt 10226@/talks/discussions UNTITLED BELGIAN FILM NOIR

Following an earlier posting about a teaser I shot anamorphic on LA7200, I've now launched a crowdfunding campaign to finance the missing part of the production budget - principal photography to start this coming summer.

It's bloody, noir, full of intrigue, and still missing a title.

Check it out for yourself on http://goo.gl/CUO6vi

And help make it happen!

Thanks for reading, Jo

FS: Selling 2 Tiffen Indie ND Kits http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/8677/fs-selling-2-tiffen-indie-nd-kits- Tue, 05 Nov 2013 13:58:14 +0000 matt_gh2 8677@/talks/discussions EDIT: Price drop to $195. Free shipping.

EDIT: The .3 to 1.2 kit has sold. But the 1.5 to 2.1 + Circular Polarizer kit is still available for $220. Shipping is free.

I'm selling 2 Tiffen Indie ND Kits. One is the kit that has 4 NDs in it (.3, .6, .9, and 1.2). The other is the kit that has the (1.5, 1.8, & 2.1 NDs, and the Ultra Circular Polarizer). I bought these brand new from filmtools.com about 6 months ago for a film shoot. The script went through some revisions and ended up being shot all at nighttime, so we had no day shots, and didn't need to ever use these ND filters. These are all 77mm.

They come in black padded pouches that have a belt loop so you can attach to your belt for easy access on a shoot. They are still in the Tiffen boxes, new and unused. If you want both of these, I'll offer them at $350 for the pair. If you want just one, the .3 to 1.2 kit is $165, and the 1.5 to 2.1 plus Circular Polarizer kit is $220. Shipping is free.

The State of Indie Production http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/5794/the-state-of-indie-production Wed, 16 Jan 2013 07:59:50 +0000 shian 5794@/talks/discussions http://denver.craigslist.org/cwg/3549078320.html

If this isn't a joke, if this is a serious ad, then I'm gonna make a lateral move into doing flower arrangements or something. At least those people actually get paid and can work indoors, mostly.

The body of the message is pasted below for when the ad is removed, as it will be inevitably.

Looking for a cinematographer, a good one. So someone with ASC or BSC membership, please. Not sure what that is exactly, but we were told they were the best so that's what we want.

This is a difficult shoot that takes place outside at night. Shoot dates prob eighteen days in February. Must be experience with shooting in cold and with some messy situations. Rain and mud play a big factor in this story.

This is probably going to be the best film you'll ever work on. We've had friends and family read the script and everyone loved it. So, it may not be a big money-maker for you, but it will be a great film on your resume. Maybe even win an Oscar. It's just that good.

No pay, and can't cover travel expenses, but there will be reels and meals--I'm talking killer sandwiches!

Contact us at the email above. Ideal candidate has own equipment and insurance. And lights and maybe some sound gear, too. A big van would seal the deal! ;-)

P.S. If anyone knows Robert Deakins, told he's pretty good. Need a contact #.

Location: Denver and Scenic Aspen

Compensation: no pay
