To put in a little more detail, I have been making films on my own for almost four years now. They're mostly shorts I made with friends. Some good, some not. But I do feel like I have enough to put together a decent reel. Now, what about the resume? I've only worked random retail or warehouse jobs. I've never been on a real film set. I feel like they'll barely look at it. Any advice would be great

I've started to incorporate lights more into my projects. Before I wouldn't even bother and just use whatever available light was there. Before for white balance I would just use the settings like Daylight, Fluorescent, Cloudy, etc. But I'd like to start using the kelvin settings along with my lights. For example, the lights I have are balanced for I think 6500 Kelvin according the little manual the lights came with. Does that mean I would go into my camera and set it to 6500?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbGMOc8VP4E This is the first video I shot with some proper lights I bought recently. This is a vast improvement in a lot of my other stuff, so I just wanted to post it. I have a lot to learn but this is a good step for me. Enjoy.

In most of my filmmaking experience I've always just used natural light or whatever lights happen to be nearby when on a certain location such as a lamp or whatever. I want to screw around more with different types of lighting but I have a question. Let's say I buy a light that is strictly for filmmaking or photography and I use that in a scene. But, there is natural sun light shining in through the window. Can I use two different types of a light in a scene? Would it affect it somehow?

I want to make a photo montage of an artists work that I like but I've run into a problem before I've even begun. I got all the photos I need that I want to cut together. Thing is, the photos are not the right size. When I play the image on FCP X, the photo is not covering the entire screen. How do I change the size of the photos?

How is white balance dealt with on bigger projects?
scott karos posted a topic in General Discussion
i use dslr for all of my projects, so they're all small projects without much of a crew. By bigger project, i mean having a crew, schedule, budget, etc... When I set White Balance, I have a bunch of different presets to choose from (daylight, incandescent, cloudy, etc) and I choose accordingly. Now, are the presets always used? Is it that simple of just choosing one of the several presets available? I know you can set a custom white balance by taking a photo of something completely white and that'll be accurate. Is that the more accurate way of doing it? My questions are little all over the place. Thanks for answering. -

Are most black and white films of today mostly made in post production when they do the color correction? It seems that they rarely shoot the film in b and w on set.

I've never used filters before and want to experiment with them for the first time. After doing a little research on the internet it seems that they are essential to achieving certain looks. Are they used all the time on professional shoots? Or are they sort of a last resort thing, where we only use them when we need to?
