Where Are the Discussions on Creative Filmmaking Techniques?

[Alt Shoo]

There are moments here I enjoy but this forum feels more like a place to vent about gear than to actually discuss the craft of filmmaking. Where are the conversations on creative problem solving? How are people pulling off run and gun shooting in restricted areas without permits? What are some cost-effective practical effects techniques for horror films? Are certain shot compositions or camera movements more effective at evoking specific emotions in an audience?

I know I can find some of this on YouTube, but part of the appeal of a forum like this is the ability to connect directly with professionals, exchange real world experiences, and even spark collaborations. Is anyone still having these kinds of discussions here?

The forum is overflowing with cool stuff. Just browse around. You could also ask your specific question or post your insights and findings from your filming job or activities.

I tried numerous times to search for these shared experiences before posting this thread.  Maybe a sub forum to find these ideas faster? Can you share a few that’s posted here?

Just use the search option. As an example I found the coolest posts on lensing that way. Give it a try. If you don't find it here, search Roger Deakins' forum. You can also post a question of yours which you wanna ask about a topic of your interest.

FWIW, I recently did a post about the doc the wife and I are working on.  Some of our production insights there.  Examples are posted too, so you can judge if what we're talking about measures up to your standards.  Not the first time we've done that either.  Yeah, it's a gear site first and foremost, but other info floats around too.
