In writing the adaptation, my overall goal was to make sure that anyone watching, whether they'd heard of the comic or not, would be able to understand what was going on. There is a gag or two that a non-reader may not get, but nothing that would be seriously confusing or stop someone from understanding what was going on. It's a self contained story. Thanks again for watching and I hope you come back to see it when it's finished!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/four-hours#post-68315 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 02:17:14 +0000 Chris 68315@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Plot line is interesting i will watch it</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/questionable-content-fan-film#post-68249 Wed, 25 May 2011 21:05:20 +0000 myniztan 68249@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&nbsp;I'm not familiar at all with what it's based on, but I think the trailer looks great. To add further comment to the poll, it's definately a good way to start experimenting with film making. Some of the best in the world started out just trying to recreate some of their favorite movies, shows, scenes or doing sequels to movies for fun. It's not for trying to make money so I definately wouldn't call it copyright infringement.&nbsp;Back to "Questionable Content", is it going to be something that can be enjoyed by anyone, or do you have to be familiar with the webcomic? I ask because I love indie films and would probably check it out when it's released but I've never heard of the webcomic. Nice work on the trailer.&nbsp;</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/four-hours#post-67894 Wed, 11 May 2011 11:20:35 +0000 Andre Rettedal 67894@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am really sorry for all the posts, it seems to something wrong with the formatting.

The white shirts were actually a result of using the nightshot plus feature on my handycam... the shirts were still black but in areas where there was light it made the shirts appear white. it was frusturating. and yes, my school did let us have access to the security footage. it was interesting trying to set up some of the shots when we could exactly know how it would turn out. thanks again for the feedback!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/disturbance#post-67282 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 11:38:50 +0000 Charles Schultz 67282@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Cole, I did watch both parts and for a limited budget all I can say is not bad, not bad at all. It must have been pretty cool for your school to allow you to shoot after hours, obviously, there must have been supervision, but still pretty cool. Did they allow you access to the security footage or was those shots using a regular video recorder? </p> <p>I saw only one flaw in two places, when up on the stage and when you found the creature, it appears that you had white shirts on instead of the Black shirts in the well lit scenes; The continuity was broken. The only other suggestion would be to have the guards carring flash lights as most do, even during daylight hours. </p> <p>Keep up the good work,</p> <p>Charles</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/disturbance#post-67280 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 07:35:04 +0000 Cole Handerhan 67280@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am a High School student with limited equipment. this is not a professional production by any means. my friends and i just like to make movies, and this is a career intrest of mine. feedback/ thoughts?</p> <p>P.S. as i have a limited number of youtube views, i cannot post over ten minutes so it is in two parts. thanks!</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux26OyLrcwA" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux26OyLrcwA</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/magix-movie-edit-pro-12/page/3#post-65578 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 03:27:40 +0000 jager 65578@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am reading everything you guys write here and I'm envy.

I replaced the power supply, beefed up my HD (500GB), increased my memory to 3 GB of RAM, and tried a different DVD burner.  No dice.   </p> <p>In the burn window, there's plenty of space on the DVD.  When I cut the DVD into several smaller disc projects that are 6-7 minutes long I can get it to burn.  But, they have to be less than 500 MB.  That seems like a waste of space on a DVD and a lot of DVDs to watch to enjoy a slideshow/movieshow of my vacation. Any advice? </p> <p>PS I tried EMAGIX, but they want me to pay a fee to get tech support as I have had the program for about a year now. </p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks!  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/inspirational-video-about-time-capsules#post-64318 Mon, 20 Dec 2010 09:26:33 +0000 kandalf 64318@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Yes I know that if the video had voice it will be better, but my problem is that English is not my native language and I am not very good with that, so I decide only put the text. </p> <p>One of the reasons why I need help in the other video that I want to make, is because I want to put some voice in the video.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/inspirational-video-about-time-capsules#post-64291 Sun, 19 Dec 2010 12:34:34 +0000 birdcat 64291@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>One thing that stands out is the need for voice - Consider adding a voiceover to make your points/instructions better.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/inspirational-video-about-time-capsules#post-64288 Sun, 19 Dec 2010 09:16:50 +0000 kandalf 64288@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I recently created the site <a href="http://www.mytimecapsule.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.mytimecapsule.net</a>, this is a website where people can create their own digital time capsules.
