Film sucks you in. The large paychecks are an irresistible dangling carrot. The atmosphere is fascinating. But, the downside of not working all the time, looking for work, the long hours, the fierce competition can be overwhelming. It's hard to quit.
You only have to be near a film set and the atmosphere is electric. You cannot beat that buzz.
-
I don't think so.
-
For cinephiles VOD will NEVER take off due to the crappy bitrates and lossy audio. I want my movies in a physical form not via streaming. I really hope that it doesn't take off.

What Film School may I ask?

I do hope that he is not being hired as a mentor anymore.

Many retailers are dropping the prices of older catalog titles in an effort to compete with the likes of Amazon. You go in there to purchase cheap Blu-rays and come out with full price Transformers DOTM or Thor. Great marketing.
-
Segue: which Blu-rays have you been pleasantly surprised by? Where you didn't expect a significant difference jumping from DVD to High Def but which made an impression?
Ben Hur looks awesome on Blu-ray. They did a great job of cleaning it up.

I think the pseudo rolla-coaster ride with the helicopter killed it for many. I liked the movie however.

I will look out for this documentary.

I just came back from watching the last Transformer movie in 3-D. I wont comment on the 3-D technical aspects of the movie, only in what I liked...and it was seeing the Milwaukee art museum in 3-D!
I remember taking my first 3-D pictures there on the summer of 2006. I used 2 Nikon FM2 cameras side by side and the stereo slides came out very beautiful! I also did my first Quinceanera shots in 3-D there as well. Its the first time that I see that museum in a movie.
I also liked to see Chicago in 3-D. For some reason most movies when filming Chicago don't show the Willis tower (Sears tower before) I think because they charge for it. And in this movie you can see it...in 3-D! Great.
CR.
I refused to hand over a huge wad of cash to watch this in 3D. After seeing it in 2D I'm glad I didn't bite.
-
All these releases are killing my poor old wallet.
-
Not blowing my own trumpet or anything, but I could never understand people not putting in 100% on any given task. I suppose that's the competitive part of me. I was always task orientated, had to get the job done even if it meant staying behind for half an hour.
-
As a youth I was never big on Sci-Fi, Super Hero or Comic book based movies, however now they are my favorite movies. I cannot remember how long it's been since I enjoyed a comedy.

INDIANAPOLIS (CEDIA Expo 2011, Booth 3751) – Sept. 8, 2011 – Epson America today announced its first line of 2D and 3D Full HD 1080p home theater projectors with the new 3LCD™ PowerLite® Pro Cinema 6010, and Home Cinema 5010/5010e and 3010/3010e. With both home cinema enthusiasts and custom installers in mind, Epson utilizes new Bright 3D Drive technology for an exceptional 3D viewing experience at home on a big screen. Epson’s new line offers a range of value-add features and performance at varying price levels to accommodate virtually all home cinema projection needs, including an entry-level solution available for less than $1,600.
As the number-one selling projector brand worldwide, Epson utilizes full HD, active shutter 3D, with 1080p resolution and Bright 3D Drive Technology, which drives the panels at 480Hz, essentially doubling the image refresh rate of 240Hz panels, delivering ultra-bright images and reduced crosstalk for the ultimate in 3D viewing at home. These projectors offer high brightness – up to 2,400 lumens of color and white light output[ii] – and enable viewing on larger screens and in a range of ambient light conditions. Combined with remarkable contrast and a number of value-add features, including wireless installation options and split screen mode for watching two pictures at once or watching TV and using the Internet at the same time, the Pro Cinema 6010, and Home Cinema 5010/5010e and 3010/3010e deliver top 3D and 2D performance and image quality in each of their respective categories.
“A large issue with 3D projection at home is the loss of brightness in image and picture quality,” said Jason Palmer, marketing manager, Epson America. “With the 480 Hz drive technology developed by Epson, we’ve been able to create a bright, crisp image for home users to truly enjoy the 3D experience. Coupled with exceptional 2D quality viewing, these new projectors are an outstanding choice for any home cinema.”

According to Wikipedia Mr Spielberg has quite a few projects line up for the coming year for which it looks like he will be directing. This includes a biography of Martin Luther King Jr. So don't give up on him quite yet.
-
It will be interesting to see what Jeremy Renner brings to the role, now that he is taking over the role of Jason Bourne from Matt Damon.
Actually, he will be playing a new character and NOT Jason Bourne.
-
Well the Blu-ray comes out in 2 weeks but only as a 2D version. The 3D version comes out in a couple of months. Audio will be dts HDMA 7.1. It's gonna sound awesome, even if the film is shite.
-
I want to teach a class at the learning annex called "Breaking Out of Film." It's a lot harder than getting in.
Why is that may I ask?
-
I honestly believe it will be a sad day if we do lose Kodak. It's always sad to see an icon disappear.
-
More IMAX less 3D. Simple.
-
I don't have a fancy DSLR, but I have had problems when I remove the card and place into my MBP. Now I access the files directly off the camera via USB rather than remove the SD Card. I have had no issues using this system.
-
I bet this is gonna have 3D rammed down our throats again.
-
5 grand is a lot to hand over. However working with a mentor that will go the extra mile for you is worth every cent.
-
I would love to have seen what the Transformers movies would have been like under the helm of someone like JJ. Abrams. Or if Spielberg had directed rather than merely exec Produced.

As long as the person most suitably trained for the job gets the job that's fine. Not hired just because of some fancy diploma.
