Film-makers?

Russinating · 13 Apr 2007 at 17:14

It seems that a large majority of the people that post here are photographers. I was just wondering how many of you are into film and film-making, whether it be your job or a hobby? Just thought I'd ask, seeing as the forum is called "..& Video" and I'm a film student

I work freelance for a video production company. Mainly second camera or production assistant. Also into my photography too though, hence why I hang around these parts

Myself and a few uni mates are starting a little production company of our own, starting with our own material and hopefully eventually be able to sell our skills to make other peoples stuff!

I love making short films, I do most of the live production video for my school. I'm still at secondary school but I'm slowly building up some kit. At the moment I film with a Canon MV 960X and all my sound is done with a Rode NTG-2 + shock mount + Rode 3m boom pole. I edit on Final Cut Pro 5 and it all works a treat.

I know the camera I've got is only basic but the only bad thing about it is the sound hence why I record off-camera sound.

It's only really a hobby, I know some bloody good actors who are my mates and we get together and do random films / comedy skits.

But I have done loads of filming with the BBC

I've got my self involved in BBC Blast, BBC 21CC and a company called Ultralab, and I've done some filming at the BETT fair, being one of only 8 under 16 year olds aloud in there.

I wouldn't mind a better camera but I'm saving for a better iPod and a new lens atm lol.

*waves* Did 3 productions in college (thriller intro, doc extract and short film), and quite a bit of coverage for my friends band including a music vid. Applying to do film and tv production at Uni at the moment. I see your at Newport (iirc?), i've got an interview there on the 27th!
Helped make some wedding films aswell, and helped out of this feature: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0854679/

I see you filmed FFAF, I never knew they were from wales!

Back from the dead again!

Shooting a 10 minute short mid september. Got the equipment rented for two days, £300 for lights, 2 HD cams (FX1 and Z1), mics, tripods and the guy whos renting me the kit will be there aswell which helps the process along ten fold.
The film is a zombie horror film with a love interest, and of course, blood and guts! that's all I want to say at the moment

Hoping the weather holds out!

Not sure, I said I was looking to borrow his cameras and tripods and maybe a mic and he came back saying that he would do the cams, tripods and mics and come down aswell for £250.

He doesn't hire out kit usually AFAIK, I called him up because I did some vid editing and filming weddings for him before. Sorry I can't be more help

Out of interest, how did you get into that?

Not many shots of kit, but we've got some red head lights, boom mic and a second camera.
