What is your favourite film of all time and why?

This is difficult as sometimes our favourite film can be confused with what we think the best film is. For example my favourite film is Gone With The Wind. However i think the best film of all time is between The Accused and Solider Blue.|||Grease and Changeling|||Unfortunately although it was pleasant for people to respond, I actually did not like any of the films which were suggested. Therefore i did not choose a best catergory.

|||"Amarcord" by Federico Fellini. It won an Oscar in 1974. Amazing scenes. Simple storyline. It's about some young kids in fascist Italy during the 1930's. It's mainly about love, death, passion and sex. And the hottest actress EVER, Maria Antonietta Beluzzi, is in this movie as well. Talk about a beautiful diva. :) Nothing beats Italian art.





"Welcome to the Dollhouse" (1995), by Todd Solondz, is amazing too. Heather Matarazzo was brilliant in this movie. One of the few times a movie made me cry..... Black humor at its finest. This movie shows how cynical and mean people can be. Especially towards geeky people. :(|||i have many, any quentin tarantino (particularly reservoir dogs) because of the way they are set out and the way they aren't chronological.





however, the pianist is an amazing film purely because it's so sad and is a true story.|||I think StarWars was the best film of all time due to the basic story and its special effects and also it was the film for the male teenager of my generation.|||Trainspotting, because it symbolizes rebirth and revitalization, and the screwing over the unappreciative so called friends that have messed with you all your life......

What is the best film editing software to buy?

I am looking for a low price film editing software, and was wondering which one people can recommend.


Thanks|||It depends on what operating system you have. If you've got a mac (or access to one) try iMovie. It's really simple and easy to learn. Once you get to know all the ins and outs, you can put together a very nice looking video. Just stay away from the really cheesy transitions.





If you're going to buy something like Adobe or Final Cut, check out the student discounts they have. If you or someone you know is a student or teacher at a qualifying school, you can get Adobe Premier Elements for only $69. There are fewer features than the Pro version of Premier, but it definitely has everything you need as a beginner.





I have never met a pro who uses linux programs to edit.|||Why buy when you can get what the professionals use for free Download Linux it is what the Movie makers use for their block buster Movies.





check out the links below|||if it's personal use, or some professional Sony Vegas Pro 8 is a great program, bad thing is that it's not exactly what I would call "low price"... well i wouldn't say it's any where near a low price program actually most people that have it get it through pirating it the price for it right off the site is US$549.95, so here's some links that should help





http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ for editing sounds music etc.


http://www.jahshaka.org/ have had several people recommend it.


try those see if they work for you if not good luck with finding one for you|||Hmm, best and low price don't go well together. I'd say Adobe Premiere Elements is a good compromise if you want low cost.

What is the prop that has been in every science fiction film and show?

According to production designer John Iacovelli on the commentary of the Babylon 5 pilot, a pervasive group of prop makers nicknamed "The Woodland Creatures" has been sure to include a certain prop in pretty much every sci-fi series and film, which is smaller than a bread box and larger than a soda can. Is this true? What is the prop?|||THE BEST PROP IS "THE UNKNOWN".|||not sure......

How does a director in a adult film keep the entire cast in heat long enough in order to make a film?

O.K. A director does it ! Get's a large cast up and into full blown heat simultaneously ! Now there is a moaning yelping " frenzy " on the movie set. Now how does the production company "KEEP" the cast up in heat long enough to make a film ?|||Skip the moaning frenzy bit. Adult films, like all movies, are shot in short scenes, then edited together to make the viewers believe that everything's happening at once.


An "orgy " scene in a standard porn film is likely shot over a period of several days, with the camera only shooting footage of a few actors at a time.


Remember, it's mostly just a movie.|||They probably have tricks to help the guys maintain erections, etc. I hear that putting hot sauce on the anus does the trick - seriously.|||There's always a "fluffer" on the set.|||i agree 100% with Palmerpa it's just a short clips movies.





but i think the actresses are faking the emotion mostly in the american and european.





not like the av idols in japan! they're more natural and more sweet.











|||Maybe there's Playboy magazines in the restroom and posters hanging on the walls behind the camera?


Yeah....that's GOTTA be it.

What is the best film to use with a Fisheye 2 camera?

I just got the Fisheye 2 camera for my birthday and I have no idea what film to use with it. I know I need to use 35mm but what ISO is best?|||In good daylight use ISO 100 or 200. In poor light use 400 or 800. 200 would be a good start.

What are the best film schools in either Canada or anywhere in Asia?

I'm looking to study film-making with a major in screenwriting and minor in cinematography. My undergraduate degree is in Business although I have my own film company and have written, directed and acted in atleast 3 independent movies (so far) plus a cameo in a commercial film locally. Would my undergrad in Business be a problem in getting into a film school?|||I am also searching for the best film school in Canada. So far I have seen/heard that the best is Vancouver Film School. I read about it on their website and it sounds very exciting and interesting. Their Film Production course is a one year program, with a prerequisite of another of their programs (Foundation Visual Art and Design) which is also one year. Personally, I think it is a bit expensive but I'm sure it is well worth the money. I am still searching around though.

What is the best Camera for independant film makers wanting broadcast quality?

I'm a Film student, in the pre-production phase, of creating a micro budget film. I have a range of cameras in mind, however I want to ask any ones advice. The Camera I require must be able to shoot in low lighting conditions, and preferably on DV. I'm looking for something under 1500%26lt;, for example a Sony FX1|||I would say the 7d is the best starter for the independent filmmaker , really good in low light situations , excellent iso and depth of field capabilities , while FX1 and others have fluorite len's they are not overly forgiving if you put other lens on them , the 7d is a cheaper version of the canon 5d mark 2 which is the leader in low light capture devices , 5d is being picked up by many independent filmmakers , and current productions and low budget films , purely for the frame rate full definition and the overall cinematic look (have a look at short film demo's and you will be convinced), additionally the technology in these usually lasts a lot longer than the specific type video camcorders|||Like most people new to this, new, there is nothing that will be good enough. Have a look at the second hand market, there are more available and you can get good deals.

they will have been checked out. probably the cheapest way is looking on Ebay, but there are dangers, you don't know what conditions they have been subjected to, or if they have ever been serviced.





As a note the camera is only part of it, what about lighting, even in low light conditions you may need some light, as video starts to become grainy, even with high quality video cameras. As you probably know the built in mics on cameras are not good so one or two external mics will probably be needed.





Stay away from other formats, they are only good for domestic video and cannot provide the quality for commercial video, (well not in your price range)
