My original post gathered a lot of attention from this blog. And so 3 weeks later, I'm writing to those who haven't seen The Rivalry yet....watch it :)

Hey guys So I have roughly 600$ to spend on a new light for my next short. I'm looking for something versatile, a ''main'' light to make my life easier. What's popular out there at the moment? Thanks! Oh, and for those of you who haven't seen it... my first short... I'm hopeless, I know.. :)

Thanks! :)

Merci mon chum!

Thanks a lot Rak. It was my first time using FCPX. I'm still learning. Man I wish I knew that then... lol Thanks for the info buddy... you probably already know this, but if you haven't tried Frite Alors in Mtl, you have got to!

Merci beaucoup Daniel, J'ai hâte de commencer le prochain film. Disons que je commence à m'ennuyer de ma caméra. ;)

Just want to thank you all for the kind words and support. When I first uploaded my film to the net I thought I would get destroyed (the internet CAN be a very scary place) You guys and gals are truly kind people. :)

Well that's mighty kind of you, mtheory! I'm crossing my fingers hoping that my film submission at the Music Bed's Film Supply contest will win. If not, I do plan on starting a Kickstater campaign to help raise $ for The Wind at my Door. If you'd like....but only if you'd like...you can vote for it here. :) https://www.themusicbed.com/projectfilmsupply/stories/the-wind-at-my-door

Big thanks to you Greg, The film took forever (5 months). We shot mostly on weekends, at night. We didn't have a script so I would re-shoot a whole lot, trying to make sense of the story. For instance, when I first started shooting this movie, it was a drama about a divorce. It's safe to say I'll never shoot without a proper screenplay again. :)

Thank you Flynn, The next movie (I think) will be a drama about a hit and run and the consequences for everyone involved. It's actually been submitted to The Music Bed's Film Supply contest and, so far, stands amongst the most popular submissions. You can vote for me if you want lol :) https://www.themusicbed.com/projectfilmsupply/stories/the-wind-at-my-door I'm aware I'm a shameless self-promoter, but in this day and age... ;)

nooooooo... a slider :)

Big thanks for the kind words buddy! I submitted to nofilmschool.com and I'm awaiting a response...

Thanks Will! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you sir :)

We already are. :)

That would be, well, extremely appreciated! Thanks a bunch for suggesting that Matt! In French, you're what we call a ''chic type'' -- or great guy ;)

First off, thank you! My niece didn't know she was in a horror movie. I remember shooting this scene with her, alone in the basement, and I would just tell her ''open your eyes wide...wider...widerrrrr'' lol... it worked perfecetly I DID NOT KNOW about the dotcom watermark at 14min. That really pisses me off. I would download the music I thought would go into the film and place the demofiles on my timeline. The last thing I did in editing was go and purchase all the music/sfx and discard those I didn't want. Then I was faced with the task of manually going over every demo sound file and replace them with the clean, purchased file from pond5. Looks like there's a demo soundfile in there I forgot to change... BTW, anyone knows an easier way of doing this? As I was editing the film I was also downloading preview music from pond 5 and adding it to my time line. (I did not want to purchase the music right away, because I figured I could easiy change my mind later on). It was a real pain going over the entire movie to replace the preview sound files with the purchased ones. Tips, anyone?

Give feedback! Thanks!

Thanks man! There's not much to share I jsut did with what I had. Lighting was mostly from home depot. I built a DIY track for dolly shots, I was shooting with Blackmagic MFT with Rokinon cine lenses. The sound was 50% post, foley, adr, taken with rode ntg3. It was a lot of fun, but also a lot of fucking around. Thanks fro watching!

Did I just happen to stumble on a forum dedicated the nicest, friendliest people on the net? Thanks guys!
