Wesley's Weekly HOW TO: Mini-Dolly

POSTED BY Wesley Scoggins, 23 January 2008 | PERMALINK

You've been asking for it and I finally decided to try this, how to get tracking shots with your very own Mini-Dolly.

Tracking shots are great, and adding just a little big of movement to your scene can really make things look much more alive, and make your film look far more professional.

A One Second Film?

POSTED BY Vanessa Pappas, 23 January 2008 | PERMALINK

This week on Epic-Fu I saw something that was truly intriguing - the notion of a 1 second film. Yep, that's right folks, 24 frames in all their glory. This collaborative project began as a student project and is really starting to build momentum.

WestHavenBrook's Feature: Production Log 2

POSTED BY Wesley Scoggins, 21 January 2008 | PERMALINK

In our continuing coverage of WestHavenBrook's feature, today they have a very interesting video, discussing some of the behind the scene footwork that goes into making a film. I think understanding that making a film isn't ONLY huddling behind a camera and yelling out "CUT!" and "ACTION!", is really important to any beginning filmmaker, and a lesson that should be learned EARLY.

POSTED BY Wesley Scoggins, 20 January 2008 | PERMALINK

Zack Snyder, Director of Dawn of the Dead, 300, and the Upcoming Watchmen, recently posted a very interesting post over on the Watchmen blog, talking about how important Storyboards are to him.
