It's been a long time since I've been active on videomaker, but I want to get back in.  I'd love it if anyone would take the time to watch and/or critique this short film my team and I recently finished.

Filmmaker Michael Koerbel has made the unofficial 'first' movie using the new phone called "Apple of My Eye". It's a cute little film apparently done in 48 hours with nothing more than the phone itself. The most  interesting elements about the short film are the great camera angles and the surprisingly good quality of the video. At least if you can't call with the thing, you can shoot a nice looking short....</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/12819723">"Apple of My Eye" - an iPhone 4 film</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/mkoerbel">Michael Koerbel</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/the-olympia-awesome-film-festival-or-oaff#post-63261 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 19:06:35 +0000 KenzoFKC 63261@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello all,  my production team Mutually Assured Productions has decided to host a film festival in Olympia Washington.  We've been planning for months now, and are launching our website.</p> <p><a href="http://www.oaff.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.oaff.org</a></p> <p>The festival will be a one day event on March 5th 2011.  We will be showcasing short films of 15 minutes or less.

I'm new here and I would like you guys to give me some ideas on how to make The Canon Vixia's 24p (through pulldown) to look even more like film because my videos have that sort of blurriness that you find in film but they don't run as smoothly. The image is great but isn't there a plug-in for Sony Vegas 8.0 Pro to make everything more "dreamy" and soft? Thankz</p> <p>I am working and trying to be a filmmaker and I've been reading a lot about filmmaking so I bought a couple of books and I can say I'm a little bit knowlegeable about what to do as a director but I don't have a lot of money to rent a Genesis or a Panavison camera so I have to work with what I have. I'll keep you updated about my first effeort. I wrote 2 scripts, 1 es suppsed to be a short and the other almost a feature lengh film (maybe 70 minutes long). I hope to start shooting by July so any help would be more than welcome. :)</p> <p>Another thing..do you think I should make the whole white balancing process in-camera or doing the post-production?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/catastrophic-short-film#post-59984 Thu, 01 Jul 2010 06:27:31 +0000 ozyw 59984@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Check this out, a film shot and edited within 24 hours.
