I know it was a pretty vague question but I guess i'm just looking for a look that resembles super16 the most. I liked the look of Lonesome Jim, which was shot in video on a Panasonic. Thanks for your answers

I was thinkin on shooting my next short on super16 but I'll probably go with video anyway. I'm a director, not a cinematographer, so I have no idea which camera and lenses I should rent. My first thought is going for a digibeta, a pro35adaptator and some 35mm lenses. Good choice? I guess color grading in post will do its part but as far as video goes, this should come close to film?

No more showing off with that Millenium Falcon Han!

I do LSM'(live-editing for soccer games) and although I haven't spoken to the camera men-and women I know that they use special high-res lenses for slow-motion. I'm far

from an expert and somebody here will gave you a more 'sophisticated' answer

Recently saw this flick, didn't really cared for it but what I did notice was it's glossy look, like the cover of a fancy magazine. I don't know if you understand what I'm talking about, i tried uploading some stills but didn't work out.

If you scroll down, you can see what i'm talking about. I'm wondering how you get that look, anyone can explain it to me? Matter of lenses, lighting, post?

thx!

For those experienced enough, what do you expect from a director when he is discussing the look of his film. Could somebody give some practical examples of what directors have said to you which made you understand what look he was going for? I'm a student-director myself and i might encounter difficulties expressing my self the right way, even if i know how i want my film to look like.

Thx!

Could you tell me what exactly you mean with gel? Is it smeared on the lights?

Just saw this movie and i'm very impressed with the lighting and color use in that film. Anybody here who saw the film and know how they did that? Yellow lights always look greenish, guess that's done with a blue filter?

All right, thanks for the replies, the're very insightful.

Hi,

I'm a student filmmaker and next year has to be the one where I make my mini masterpiece.

Although I'm pretty good at writing scripts and coming up with good stories i'm having troubles doing this for short films. You can read as many books about screenwriting as you want, they all apply to feature films. To those who are experienced, how do scripts for feature films differ from short films. A one act structure? Are short films more gimmicky? Shorter scenes? A plot twist at the ending?
