That sounds rediculous. A directors job is to look over everything. If a movie is a flop and looks like poop, people blame the director not the DP or the actors. So I think this is complete bullshit. One more reason to hate WB.

Whee is the forum where people share their work? I would like to see some of you guys work.

Is digital camera better for starting? Since I can look at the pics on the computer? Are there difference in resulting picture?

I do get some of the stuff about lighting. I mean a movie in the 80s(The SHining) still looks better than 80 percent of movies out now. Also, I can use same filter on a camcorder and a still camera right? I really like messing with filter. Can more than one filture be used at a same time?

What camcorder would you recomend? I can spend like $500. Or do you prefer I start with just a picture camera and work on lighting a picture before movies? Thanks. ALso, I can use simple bulbs and lights to light up a scene right? I am going to buy a book but thanks for your guys help.

You mean like in Bruce Almighty, how the god looks bright etc? Well he wore alot of white. really like the black and white stuff from Kill bill, you could try like that with the white suit or something.??

Does anyone know Im very new to this and dont know alot. I shoot with my camcoder but I was wondering how to get the "movie" look. Is it the camera or the lighting and cenimatography that gives the movie the "look"?? What are some cheap cameras that will give me results similar to movies like fight club, kill bill etc. Sorry to be such a newbie but I want to start shooting short films with no characters, just scenery and camera movements. Help will be aprreciated.
