“Szokásos.Egyik utolsó dögmeleg az évben, milliónyi szúnyog, folyamatos hajóforgalom, lemerülő MiniDv kamerák, kifogyó kazetták, folyamatosan változó fényviszinyok...Tehát valóban, ez egy szokásos első forgatási napja volt egy új műsornak.Mivel nem vitaműsort szeretnénk csinálni, ezért nagy vállalás volt Emíliával kezdeni. Más szempontból talán mégis pont ő a legalkalmasabb erre, hiszen - sokakkal ellentétben - soha nem félt képviselni magát az övétől eltérő véleményekkel szemben. Bárhogy is, szerintem valamennyire túl tudtunk lépni azon, amit a közéletben amúgy képvisel, és beleláthattunk abba, hogy mik a sarokkövei a meggyőződéseinek. Más szóval miért gondolja azt, amit.”– Kilián, rendező
Today on the show I welcome filmmaker Sara Summa. Sara's film Arthur & Diana will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. I loved the film! Keep this one on your radar. Great film, great chat! Thanks for listening. Kyler --- Synopsis: "Writer-director Sara Summa stars alongside her real-life brother Robin Summa, in this playful auto-fictional road trip from Berlin to Paris." "Siblings Arthur and Diana are en route from Berlin to Paris in their late father's Renault with Diana's adorable two-year-old son in tow. On a mission to renew an expired MOT — a certificate confirming a vehicle's compliance with road safety and environmental standards — on their shared car, a rusty childhood relic, they also plan on visiting their aging mother along the way. With no topic off the table, Arthur — who is younger, with a bohemian air, and into geocaching — is adjacent to intense and pragmatic Diana, who's just looking to get from point A to point B. Between bantering and bickering, and with a flat tire to boot, the pair encounter a beautiful vagabond, have a run-in with the police, party, attend a funeral, and detour through Italy. Charming every step of the way, the family will wind up with a few more friends and hopes than they departed with. Sara Summa constructs a playful and intimate sophomore feature following her debut The Last to See Them, which screened in the Berlinale's Forum programme in 2019. A European road movie on the surface, Arthur&Diana is the autofictional brainchild of Summa, who plays the headstrong lead alongside her real-life brother, Robin Summa. Accompanied by Ben Roessler's delightful score and shot on MiniDV, Betacam, and 16mm by Faraz Fesharaki (who follows his work on Alexandre Koberidze's What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?), Arthur&Diana moves constantly between the tension and stasis that bonds all families and sometimes propels us to stay on course."

So I directed a small action short film a few years back called "BROKEN." I shot the film on MiniDV Tape (yes I'm old) on the Panasonic DVX 100a, the indie film workhorse of its day. My team and I filmed it in West Palm Beach Florida (not exactly the Mecca of the film industry) and it starred only local, non named actors. Now once the filming was over I marketed the living hell out of that little short. It went on to screen at over 250 international film festivals, win countless awards and be covered by over 300 news outlets. That little film had a life of it's own. I even got a review of legendary film critic Roger Ebert:"BROKEN is essentially a demonstration of the mastery of horror imagery and techniques. Effective and professional." - Roger EbertNow you must be asking, "But Alex how the hell did you make money with it?" Well, I knew that no one would pay real money for a 20 minute short film, shot on MiniDV, with no name actors and from a first time director to boot. So I planned to create a guerrilla indie film school with over 3 hours of footage, tutorials, commentaries and more. For the whole story take a listen.
This episode contains major spoilers and deals with difficult subject matter, so please watch the film before you listen to this discussion. Freelance film critic and programmer Rafa Sales Ross joins me from Scotland to discuss Charlotte Wells' debut feature Aftersun, starring newcomer Frankie Corio and Paul Mescal in an Academy Award-nominated performance as Calum, a Scottish single father who takes his 11 year old daughter Sophie on a trip to a resort in Turkey in the late nineties, a story told partly through the use of MiniDV holiday footage but more importantly refracted from the perspective of a grown-up Sophie, now at the same age her father was on this fateful vacation and reconsidering her memories. As a film critic who saw Aftersun at its tear-soaked screening at Cannes and as part of the programming team that later selected the film to open the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Rafa is uniquely equipped to speak about this powerful drama about what gets captured in the “mind camera”; parenthood, loss, depression, empathy, memory, nostalgia and the hard-won wisdom children experience when they transform into adults and finally start to understand their parents as people. There are over three dozen premium episodes of the show available exclusively to patrons: some notable previous Patreon guests include Jared Yates Sexton, Jacob Bacharach, David Roth, Bryan Quinby and Sooz Kempner.

24 Hour Party People (2002) / The Forest for the Trees (2003) This week we're rolling the tape back to the MiniDV era as we get lost in the proverbial forest with Maren Ade and fly high in Madchester with Michael Winterbottom
For the first time in years, both Griffin and David are in agreement on a new Steven Spielberg film - what a picture! We're playing both film critics and armchair psychologists in this episode as we unpack THE FABELMANS, a movie that is less sentimental and more complex than one would assume based on the poster. What sets this film apart from the ever-growing stack of filmmaker origin stories? Is this the de-facto Best Picture frontrunner? Why the hell was Griffin shooting on super 8 in the early 2000s when MiniDV was available?

Plus Wells and McClendon discuss the needle drops that did and didn't make it into the film, and Blair ignites beef with Liam Gallagher.Aftersun trailerSupport the showThe Screen Slate Podcast is supported by its Patreon members.

This is a very special episode of the NFT Stories Podcast for two reasons:One, this is the first time we're dropping an episode with NFT creators while there is a drop currently going. That is, if you're listening on June 21st. And if not, reminder, episodes are every Tuesday.And two, this is the first time we're dropping an episode with an NFT project that I actually worked on.In my previous life, I was a comedian who also happened to get a film degree. This turned out to be my biggest blessing and curse.It was a blessing because I graduated right at the start of the digital revolution. I didn't need to travel to film festivals to get 50 people to view my short film. YouTube would host for free and get me hundreds of views. Okay, maybe 50 is about right, but still, no travel.And it was a curse because I quickly learned my ability to shoot and edit digital video, mostly on MiniDV tapes at the time, meant I would be spending a lot more time behind the camera than in front.Hence my career in digital media instead of hanging out in Will Ferrell's entourage.I stayed tied into the comedy community throughout the years and, along with my friend Jordan Pomaville and Sam Kimbrell, we started thinking about how web3 may be able to re-create the feeling of a comedy club online.The result: minting every word as a one-of-one NFT, giving each one a funny definition and pronunciation, then using the words in comedic fill-in-the-blank game shows on Twitch to bring the community together, with plenty of funny and weird airdrops along the way.So let's dive into the story behind this project Own Every Word, or, if you want to check it out for yourself, go to owneveryword.com.FOR MORE INFO:Phil Ranta's Twitter: https://twitter.com/philrantaPodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/NFTStoriesPodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwuexPh0bx-6jXQMRv3iq1gCopyright 2022 - We Are Verified, LLC

The bright smiling friendly face that greets you at the beginning of each YACHT ROCK episode is that of my guest. Among other things, he's a former writer for Allmusic.com & Disney pirate, who one day would trade pirate ships for smooth rock yachts. He spent a few latter years bringing MiniDV magic to 101 at the DTI and continues working with the gang on the ULTIMATE YR book. He's a brilliant, talented and kind fella!

Coming off a stellar 2000 Autocross campaign, 2001 goes...good and bad all at the same time. This episode has some unique production value as I end up narrating over some old miniDV footage, that has in-camera narration provided by my camera-woman "Sophia". You'll actually hear cars on the Auto-x course as I'm describing my car's trek amongst the cones.
What does it mean to never have a plan B? For veteran award winning DP Nancy Schreiber it meant continuing the grind, but also adjusting to the opportunities and realities she was presented with. How can you do the same? When getting DP jobs was less likely because of her gender, she took more gaffing jobs. When she got the chance to shoot video (VHS or otherwise) she grabbed it, and she wrote her own playbook on how to make it look good. She expanded on that as the video medium expanded. Continuing to shoot on her beloved celluloid, but also winning AWARDS for shooting on... wait for it... MiniDV. Nancy is a true veteran of the industry, one of the first few female members of the ASC, and a trailblazer to this day. Best of all she's humble, positive, and excited about all the new projects on her slate of all variety. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

He began making films in his teens. Episode 87 of the SBP Podcast is an in-depth discussion with Anthony Z James, who filmed a crime drama feature film with his iPhone.When you watch his film “Ghost,” you are left without doubt that Anthony Z James made a crime drama, a gritty film which captures the viewer through to the end. What inspired him to become a filmmaker was his first experience attending camp as a kid. One of the kids had a MiniDV camera and they all began to make a “little” movie. But it wasn’t so much the moviemaking experience, even though that has a lot to do with it, that really made him want to do it again. It was the camaraderie in the process that inspired him to want to make films. And this is where Anthony’s story begins. The film is about 85 minutes shot entirely with an iPhone in London. The film will have you on the edge of your seat during some scenes. The drama unfolds with the story as the plot develops and unfolds into a very intense development in the story. The film was shot in two weeks in different locations in London.Anthony is a passionate storyteller and filmmaker and he shares his experience making this film in-depth. What motivates someone to work hard to create films has always been something the average person is not able to understand. Why someone who has a great story and embarks to make a feature length film would choose an iPhone, or any smartphone, to film is even more incomprehensible to traditional filmmakers. Anthony Z James does a great job expressing why a good story is so important in your journey to create a film from beginning to end. “Ghost” is available now on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B086P4W1F1/Learn more about Anthony on his website and follow him on social media:Website: https://www.story-image.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/storyimagefilms/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/storyimagefilmsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/storyimageYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/storyimage Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/storyimage Our Links: The NEW Video Streaming Service & Community for Mobile Filmmakers: https://mobilefilmstories.com Subscribe, support and listen to bonus episodes and more on Patreon: http://patreon.com/sbppodcast SBP Podcast Website: http://sbppodcast.studio iTunes/Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sbp-podcast/id1296673665 International Mobile Film Festival Website: http://internationalmobilefilmfestival.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/sbppodcast Twitter: http://twitter.com/sbppodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mobilefilmsd/ MFTV - Mobile Film Network Distribution Channel: http://MobileChannel.TV Susy Botello on Twitter: http://twitter.com/susybotello SBP Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ISEF0SZOLyRpw20loXzlo#upsell Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/sbp-podcast-mobile-filmmaking-928180 Smartphone Filmmaking Publication on Medium: https://medium.com/smartphonefilmmaking YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/mobilfilmfestival?sub_confirmation=1 © Copyright 2020 S.

Extreme Genes - America's Family History and Genealogy Radio Show & Podcast
Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. The guys begin with a brief look at how the new EU privacy law, “GDPR,” is affecting the genealogy world. Next, most genealogists have found connections to royalty, which has increased interest in the recent royal wedding. As such, the guys delve into the sacrifices Meghan Markle is having to make to become a member of the Royal Family. (It suddenly doesn’t sound so glamorous!) Then a shipwreck off the coast of Colombia is being called “The Holy Grail” of shipwrecks and may contain some $17 billion in treasure. Hear how it was found and how it got there. David then fills us in on the latest that he has learned about his distant cousin, Douglas Lambert, who died in World War II. David’s blogger spotlight this week shines on Jana Iverson Last. Go to janasgenealogyand familyhistory.blogspot.com. Jana talks about the various cultures in her background and how they weave together. Next, Fisher visits with “Your Genetic Genealogist” CeCe Moore about how her DNA research recently led police to an arrest in a three-decade-old cold case. It’s a first for CeCe who felt she had to consider the ethics and legality of such an action, and the feelings of the genealogy community. In the end, though, as she explains, it came down to one important factor. Hear what she had to say about it. In a second segment, Fisher and CeCe discuss the controversy surrounding the use of GEDMatch.com in the genealogy world. She addresses some of the concerns discussed with Paul Woodbury last week. It’s a fascinating discussion you need to hear. Then, Tom Perry from TMCPlace.com answers another listener question on preserving old video from a MiniDV. That’s all this week on Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show.

Should You Own Your Own Film Gear?Happy New Year IFH Tribe! We are now in 2017 and this will be ana amazing, creative and monumental year for us all. I wanted to start off the year with an "Ask Alex" episode. On this episode I answer the follow tribe member questions:Though I plan on hiring a DP for my movies, I'd like to invest in my very own camera equipment and lights. (Was thinking about investing in that BlackMagic Cinema you keep raving about.)However, I'm being advised NOT to buy my own camera and lights! I was told that unless I'm planning on being a DP myself, and unless I plan on keeping up with all the new models of cameras coming out (which can be expensive), that buying camera equipment makes no sense.What say you? Shouldn't an independent filmmaker seek to have his or her own filmmaking arsenal, just in case? Shouldn't directors at least try to go out, shoot, get a feel for the camera, etc., so that they are better directors, even if they'll never be DPs? What advice would you give someone working with non-acting actors who will be getting little to no pay?So If I go to submit my film to contests and festivals will I have problems with people in public in background shots? Would making the background more out of focus help? I have scenes in stores. Do I need to blur product labels?When is the perfect time in pre-production should you start casting?How important do you feel it is to shoot on film if your plan is to go to the big film festivals hoping to get a distribution deal? Taking Dov Simens DVD class he stresses its important, but the content is in the age of miniDV, so technology has changed quiet a bit since those DVDs were produced. Although I know the story is really more important than digital vs film, which do you feel the major film festivals are looking for today or does it matter any more? I'm looking to shoot mostly film (~75%) and mix some shots and coverage that are shot digitally (~25%).Let's get to answering some questions.Right click here to download the MP3Download on iTunes DirectSlamdance Workshop Discussed on the ShowJoin Blackmagic Design, Slamdance Grand Jury Award winner Andrew McPhillips, and filmmaker and host of Indie Film Hustle Alex Ferrari on Saturday, January 21 from 2:30pm to 4:30pm at the Filmmaker Lounge in the Treasure Mountain Inn for an in-depth workshop on the tools and techniques essential to the independent filmmaker.Andrew McPhillips will discuss lessons learned from shooting his upcoming film “The Doll,” including how to seamlessly switch from production to post. Andrew used an URSA Mini 4.6K to shoot the film, DaVinci Resolve for editing and grading, and Fusion for the VFX. Along with serving as CG Supervisor at SPINVFX, Andrew’s work includes his animated short film “Blood Will Tell” which previously premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and took home top awards at Slamdance.Alex Ferrari will discuss how filmmakers can make the most of DaVinci Resolve as a professional editing solution. Alex recently shot, edited and graded his new film “This Is Meg” using Blackmagic Design. He will dive into the ins-and-outs of what filmmakers need to know when editing with Resolve and how it can best fit into their workflows.A brief Q&A will follow the presentations along with raffles for prizes, including a Micro Cinema Camera, DaVinci Resolve Studio and Fusion Studio!Join Blackmagic Design afterward from 5:00pm to 7:00pm for a happy hour in th
So I directed a small action short film a few years back called "BROKEN." I shot the film on MiniDV Tape (yes I'm old) on the Panasonic DVX 100a, the indie film workhorse of its day. My team and I filmed it in West Palm Beach Florida (not exactly the Mecca of the film industry) and it starred only local, non named actors. Now once the filming was over I marketed the living hell out of that little short. It went on to screen at over 250 international film festivals, win countless awards and be covered by over 300 news outlets. That little film had a life of it's own. I even got a review of legendary film critic Roger Ebert:"BROKEN is essentially a demonstration of the mastery of horror imagery and techniques. Effective and professional." - Roger EbertNow you must be asking, "But Alex how the hell did you make money with it?" Well, I knew that no one would pay real money for a 20 minute short film, shot on MiniDV, with no name actors and from a first time director to boot. So I planned to create a guerrilla indie film school with over 3 hours of footage, tutorials, commentaries and more. For the whole story take a listen.

Today's interview takes us to the fine state of Indiana, where director/producer/writer Mark Racop and the MagicHouse Productions team is based.A full production house with a studio facility, MagicHouse Productions is readying an exciting new science fiction movie, Starship II. The film features an extraordinary amount of special effects elements, and returns many fan favorites from the first Starship film (titled Rock N Roll Starship).For the indie film world, Mark Racop and MagicHouse Productions represents an intelligent approach to developing films and a production company. Mark has spearheaded a methodical path that has built a solid foundation for current and future projects, one that draws upon previous projects and has established an in-house production infrastructure. This approach enables growth in each progressive project, something demonstrated strongly in Starship II with its arsenal of special effects and increased production value.The buzz has been building for Starship II at conventions across the country, and is well on the way to becoming a growing indie movie franchise. Working with an array of talented individuals in Indiana such as Jeff Ello (the mastermind behind the CGI) and Chuck Budreau (sound and music wizard who is also with Indy Film News, a networking and resource site for Indiana Filmmakers), Mark has worked to establish the nucleus of an outstanding independent movie team.Mark Racop is a filmmaker to watch, and MagicHouse Productions is definitely on the indie movie map. Watch out for Starship II in the very near future, and hop on board a great new indie movie series!-by Stephen Zimmer, for Indie Movie Masters, September 6, 2009 SZ: What is your background in terms of filmmaking/production? MR: The filmmaking bug bit me at an early age. My father John remembers that I was interested in making movies even at the age of two, always asking, "How do they DO that?" Dad could only answer, "Trick photography." So while other children were reading short stories, I was busy reading–check that–studying Stephen Whitfield’s "The Making of Star Trek." My filmmaking life was changed permanently when "Star Wars: A New Hope" was released when I was twelve-years-old. I knew from the first scene of that movie that I HAD to make movies. I voraciously read everything I could about movie making. As a huge1966 Batman fan, it was no surprise to my friends that I decided to make Batman the focus of my movies while learning my craft. I collected a rag tag group of misfits from Logansport High School–and I'm quick to add myself to the list of rag tag misfits–to make my first movie in 1980, a 60 minute short film. We didn’t have a clue what we were doing when we started, but we figured things out pretty quickly. Shot on Super 8 movie film, and edited by hand with a Kmart splicer, it truly was a labor of love. It lacked big time, but as a first film, it was rather ambitious–there were several fight scenes, and the movie was made at many locations throughout Logansport, including the vault of the First National Bank. Logansport Mayor Jone Wilson even played a cameo in the film. The movie was rough, but well-received, and won some awards in high school. Bolstered by the completion of my first effort, the following summer I made a second Batman film, a 30 minute short. The titles, fight scenes, and editing were much more sophisticated, and I was learning from my mistakes. Mayor Jone Wilson again made herself available for a cameo. And again, I received some awards. There was little doubt that I would be going to college, and there was even less doubt that filmmaking would be the major. Majoring in telecommunications with a film emphasis at Ball State, I worked on several short films for classes, and networked with students that shared my passion for filmmaking. It didn’t take long for students to figure out that I was very serious about making movies. I was the only one that owned my own equipment. Even though I was ahead of my class, I still had a lot to learn. Before diving into professional filmmaking I knew I needed to learn more about lighting, sound, editing, and overall pacing. My third and final Batman film was entered in the David Letterman Scholarship Contest at Ball State, and won a $3,500 award. Logansport Mayor John Davis played a cameo this time. This film was certainly different than my previous two. Acting, sound effects, and lighting improved tremendously. I built sets for the first time, which provided for better camera angles. And the ultimate prop was added–the Batmobile. Built by five seventeen-year-olds, we transformed a 1974 Monte Carlo into the world-famous Batmobile and used it in my very first car chase. The David Letterman Scholarship award opened a lot of doors. It gave me credibility to deal with people in Hollywood as well as local investors. Without the scholarship, I don't think I would have made it on the set of my "big break," a terrible action/terrorist movie called "Terror Squad," made in Kokomo, Indiana, in1986. The final film was horrible, but I learned so much from being on a professional set. As the head production assistant, I learned the ins and outs of just every single department. I helped the camera and grip departments lug equipment, helped stuntmen with prepping cars for stunts, built a storefront for an explosion, landed product placement for clothing for the movie’s star, Chuck Connors, and I ferried film from the airport to the editor. I learned about special effects makeup, safety requirements for explosions and bullet hits, and how the same shots can be accomplished with different camera techniques–and how to choose the best one. I was invited to Hollywood by some of the crew from "Terror Squad," so my friend Jeff Johnson and I departed in a 1976 Dodge Colt with stars in our eyes. 41 hours later, we arrived in the usually sunny state to find that we had somehow brought snow with us. Yep, that’s right--for the first time in ten years, Los Angeles experienced snow! I spent time on several movie sets and at camera stores, and talked with professionals in the business to learn what it really takes to make it in the business. I also learned that I didn’t want to live in LA. It just wasn’t right for me. SZ: When was MagicHouse Productions formed, and what was your mission with the company when it began? MR: I formed MagicHouse Productions in 1987 and raised money to shoot my first professional movie, the ultra-low budget spoof, "Rock N Roll Starship." The up-front budget was $5,000, and the final cost of the film was $25,000. Dark Star and Hardware Wars were major inspirations as we put the movie together. The movie featured cheesy sets, cheesy dialogue, and cheesy acting–but it was all part of the plan. SZ: As independent production companies often need to pay the bills while developing a feature film project, what kind of production work do you engage in outside of your film endeavors? MR: I shoot documentaries, commercials, promotional videos, music videos, and even legal depositions to keep the lights on. SZ: Give us a little history leading up to the production of Starship II, in terms of when the first film was produced, the response to it, and when you made a decision to do a sequel (and when you began pre-production on it). MR: "Rock n Roll Starship" has played well to science fiction audiences across the Mid-west. I am truly amazed at our fan following. While we never received national distribution, we have self-distributed over 1,500 copies on tape and DVD, from Georgia to Minneapolis.I am my toughest critic, and I am really tough on the film, but it is nice to see a crowd of 400 people rolling in the aisles with laughter. It helps remind me that it was worth all of the hard work. While we were shooting Starship 1, we joked about the possibility of a sequel, and the ideas that could be incorporated into it. While everyone else went to sleep, I was writing down hundreds of tiny notes on scrap paper, napkins, placemats--anything I could get my hands on. People everywhere demanded the sequel. The beautiful Leslie Culton is one of our biggest fans. It was really weird. She met us at a con, quoting dialogue from Starship! And then all of the planets aligned to allow us to make the sequel. I lost my job as a manager of a movie theater--and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Chuck Budreau and I took those hundreds of scrap notes and used them as an outline to create the script for "Starship II." We finished the first draft in three weeks, and did a script readthrough at the 1998 Inconjunction science fiction convention. Actors that had moved to New York and Ohio moved back to Indiana. At a chance meeting in a movie theater in Lafayette, watching the end credits of "Phantom Menace," I found our special effects team. SZ: For those that may not have seen the first Starship film, catch us up to speed on events pertaining to the beginning of the story in Starship II, as well as a little about the plot of the new movie. MR: Because "Starship II" involves time travel, it is both a sequel and a prequel--making it a sprequel. Bob, Doug, and Jorge are well-known throughout the galaxy as the ones that blew up the Ramses Colony. In a freak accident, they accidentally go back in time to right before the blew up the colony. They now have the opportunity to stop themselves from blowing up the colony, and clearing their names...but you know how changing things in the past in a time travel has a way of screwing things up in the future, right? Bob, Doug, and Jorge discover that they have to go back in time to stop themselves from stopping themselves, or the entire universe will be taken over by robots! SZ: What cast members returned from the first film for the 2nd? Who are some of the key new additions? MR: Rob Hinkle, Michael Allen Williams, and Logan Michaels reprise their original roles of Bob, Doug, and Jorge. Christopher Tracy returns for a cameo as the evil golden android Zake, and Robert Hubbard reprises his role as Leiutenant Ed. Scream queen Leslie Culton joins the cast as the female lead, Captain Jane Wey, and we were fortunate enough to land John Astin (Gomez from The Addams Family, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes 2) as Professor Peabody. Babylon 5 alumni Jason Carter and the late Richard Biggs play Commander Deckins and Sergeant Franklin. And to finish off the cast, we hired Richard Hatch (Battlestar Galactica) to play cloned news reporters John Alpha and John Beta.SZ: Highlight a few key members of your production group involved withStarship II. MR: Three people made a significant difference from the first film to the second--Jeff Ello, director of photography and also the post production special effects supervisor; Greg Fauvergue, set designer and builder; and key grip Eric Ridge, who provided camera booms, dolly track, and other great toys for me to play with.Jeff ElloGreg FauvergueEric RidgeSZ: What lessons did you learn out of the process of the first film that you have applied to help improve the process of making the 2nd? MR: I am always learning from my successes and failures, and I knew that we had to overcome the shortcomings from the first film. We shot the first movie on film, and the cost was astronomical for negative and developing and transferring to video. The sets were built from white beaded styrofoam. We built the lights from foamcore and hung them from the rafters with twine. Even minor setups sometimes took an hour. We did the special effects on the Amiga Videotoaster. The sequel had to have better sets. It had to have exteriors, and it had to have a much larger cast. We shot on miniDV with Canon XL1s and GL1s. We had professional lighting. The sets were made from plywood. Camera setups took minutes instead of hours. "Starship 2" was a radical step up from the original film, featuring a much more sophisticated script, great sets, great special effects, and most importantly, some great actors from Hollywood. The up-front budget for Starship II was $50,000, and the final budget is coming in around $100,000. SZ: How has having a studio facility helped the process in Starship II? What has it enabled that would have otherwise been too surmounting to attempt otherwise? MR: We bought the 8,300 square foot building a few years after we wrapped Starship II, but the studio has changed our filmmaking forever. We have shot five movies, two shorts, and several commercials at our facilities. It has allowed us to build sets and leave them standing much longer than borrowed warehouses. I hate to shoot in interior locations any more because the studio is so much more controllable. From electrical to makeup to office space and our kitchenette, everything is right here.SZ: Your team is tackling an extraordinary amount of effect shots for a film, whether independent or not. Tell us about the number of FX shots estimated in Starship II and some of the challenges you have faced in this area of the production. MR: Ugh! Yes, Starship II has an exceptional number of effects, that's for sure! At last count, there are over 800 visual effects shots. I made the mistake of allowing the FX guys on set. They got me so excited that we added 100 visual effect shots that weren't in the script! Raising the money to make the movie was a snap. Finding competent special effects artists that can generate usable material to assist Jeff Ello has been nearly impossible. With the exception of Staffon Norling and Ian Strandberg, he has had to scrap or completely redo almost every single effect that was delivered to him.SZ: Do you have an estimate as to when Starship II will be finished? MR: Jeff Ello has passed the most difficult portions of the effects work, so we expect completion "around the end of the year." In the meantime, I have worked on five more movies, and one that I co-produced, A Time For the Heart, was premiered at the Imax theater in Indianapolis this past spring to a sell out crowd. I am also in preproduction on three more films, so there is never a dull moment around here.SZ: When finished, what kind of path are you looking to take Starship II on?(festival circuits? Distribution goals? Etc.) MR: A successful film producer in Hollywood happens to be the cousin of my primary investor, and we expect that he will be able to point us in the right direction when he sees the completed movie. We are planning a limited theatrical run, and hoping for Sci Fi Channel or Lions Gate to pick us up. Festivals and science fiction conventions are definitely part of the future for Starship II, I'm sure.SZ: Are there plans already for a Starship III? MR: Absolutely! Starship II ends with a cliffhanger, so we are compelled to make a Starship III to wrap up the mystery. The script is halfway completed. And Jeff Ello has said that he didn't spend the past several years of his life making special effects for just one movie. With 90% of the effects work already done, the next movie will go much faster in post this time!SZ: Give us some links for folks to use to find out more and connect with MagicHouse Productions and Starship II online. MR: You can find Starship II online at: www.starship2.com, and MagicHouse Productions at www.magich.com. (Starship II Trailer)
This week we spent preparing for our first weekend of shooting. I've got some comments to pass along about how to work with the talent, especially if you're crew. We've also made our lives more difficult by not having put more time into preproduction. Everything is connected, from Producer to production assistant. Things go all bass ackward if you don't communicate . We're going to be using a Panasonic HVX200, which is an HD camera that has many benefits over the camera we've been using up to now, the Panasonic DVX100. The first thing is that the menu controls and switches on the outside are mostly the same, so the learning curve is limited to working with the media. The HVX can record to tape, but only standard definition. To record high definition you record to solid state memory cards, called P2 cards. Here are a few reasons on why HD is a better format: Images are 2 to 4 times the size of standard definitionThere is more color in the videoIt captures real slow motion and accelerated motionThe format is easy to transfer to drive, and easy to edit Disadvantages include: You can't capture to both tape and P2 card at the same timeThere is no archival medium in HD, you wipe the card and reuse it after you transfer it to your driveThe P2 card is expensiveThe life of a P2 card is unknownHD footage takes up 2 to 3 times more disk space In this episode I take a shot at explaining the difference between HD format and HDV format and frankly I don't think I made anything clear. It's useful to know, but not critical, so I'm going to lay it out here. If you need to know more, do some research on your own, otherwise, skip the next three paragraphs. HD and HDV are capture formats. They're good formats for compressing data so you can fit as much data as possible on what ever medium they require, HD requires P2 cards, HDV can use MiniDV tapes, same as for standard definition. Both HD and HDV record the same resolution, and for all I've been told, the same 4.2.2 color space. Standard definition video records in 4.1.1 color. What qualifies as high end digital video, approaching film quality, is 4.4.4 color. I don't need to explain how it works, it's enough to understand that the capacity to capture all the available color is limited as you move from film, to HD, to SD. By the way, film is a poor second to the color capture capability of our own eyes. HDV cameras are less expensive than HD cameras for the reasons already mentioned in the advantage list above, real slow motion, etc. HD is easier to edit immediately after capture compared to HDV due to the different compression formats they each use. HDV captures footage in groups of 15 frames, called GOP - Group Of Pictures. The first frame contains all the picture information inside the frame, then each frame following that contains only those pixels that have changed. Take a picture of a wall with HDV and the first frame contains all the info, each of the following frames have no new information and so have no additional data. That keeps the file size down so it will fit on the the tape. If a person or even a fly moves through the frame every frame that records changed information has to record it, because it's not on the first frame. But only the pixels that changed need to be recorded. And thats fine until you need to edit the video. Then you find you can't cut inside the GOP sections, they're like a single unit. To get past this problem you need to convert the digital video to an intermediate codec that reconstitutes each frame, completely restoring the data to each frame. This of course makes the files larger, but that's the price you pay for editing this format on a digital nonlinear editor like Avid or Final Cut Pro. Next week we shoot the bar scene Saturday and Sunday.
Mr. Mose - I am a recent fan of your podcast and I am a film and video nut. My aptitude lacks however and I want to know if you can help me. Episode 29 skipped a lot on my ipod and i don't know if it was the original recording or what. Let me tell you how crazy i was when this happened. The conversion for my Sony HVRA1 HDV Camera sounded much like the problem I am having with FCP. I need to know what the optimal settings for importing and converting are. I am using an IMAC with plenty of memory, but as i understand it, the 1080i is 1 gig for 20 seconds of footage. That I got from your podcasts. Maybe you can tell me a little about my own camera and whether or not I should be using an external harddrive for all my projects. If so, how large? I am looking to produce feature film quality material as well as TV or otherwise. I like using 24fps and maintaining the highest quality I can obtain. I may even upgrade to the Sony FX camera at some point. Please let me know. Your podcast rocks. I am 36 years old and would love to start my own production studio. Is my Sony HVRA1 a good enough camera or should I be using something with CCCD? I am presently recording on MiniDV tape. Thanks for you expertise and the way you communicate with those of us with real questions. Jamie
