  1. Thank you so much to everyone who's pitched in on this discussion, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the advice. I've got so much to think about now I'm going to print off all your posts and have another look through over the next few days. Just thanks again everyone, Stephen Williams, Brian Drysdale, David Mullen, Freya, Phil Rhodes, tenobell, and Michael Collier, you've all given me fantastic advice and I appreciate it. Jeremy Lawson
  2. Try www.castnet.co.uk I've used this a lot, found some good actors, some not so good. They all worked for expenses tho (food, travel). You might run into a dead end with the better Drama schools in London as they generally have a policy of not letting their students work on non-school projects.
  3. Hi guys I'd like to know what your thoughts are on this. I'm going to be shooting my graduation film next year. My film school has recently purchased a couple of JVC HD101 cameras and but also has an old Arton and Arri SL2 16mm cameras. I'm considering whether of not to shoot on film or HDV, so here are some of the considerations with specific regards to our shoot. 1 - We get 5 x 400FT rolls of 16mm stock, but if we shoot on HDV they'll give us the money equal to the cost of the film and processing which amounts to something like £800-1000 to add to our budget. 2 - Lenses. We have a reasonable amount of prime lenses available to use for the 16mm cameras, but only the Fuji TV Zoom supplied with the JVC if we shoot HDV. However, we could use the money saved on film to hire lenses for the HDV. 3 - If we shoot using the film cameras we have to hire video assist equipment using our already stretched budget. 4 - The film cameras are old and have been bashed around by students for years. 5 - If we shoot on HDV we can do more takes and longer takes. Can anyone make any recommendations? What do people in the industry think about the film vs digital argument and what looks better on the showreels of the DOP, the Director, and Producer?
  4. I want to get hold of a Cinemeter II but I can't seem to find anywhere that can get hold of one. It's driving me nuts, loads of guys are using them but they don't seem to come from anywhere! Can anyone help point me in the right direction? What's the deal with these things? Help!!!
