Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    You know, it's much easier for me to surpass your post count if you don't post so...

        Re: Woody

        I cancelled the project twice before giving in and going on with it. I couldn't present it last week because I got the stomach flu and was out for the entire week. I had to go back to filming this week and edited it all day today.

        In all honestly, given the restrictions for no more than six minutes, I think it turned out fine. It's not amazing in anyway but it's a short documentary... what do you expect? I obviously would have used better equipment with a much more comprehensive approach. I would love to make a feature length documentary on Woody Allen and his influence sometime in the future.

        This is just a teaser with too much to say in too little time.

          these sorts of artistic shortcomings are blueprints for future successful ones. The work you put into it will be especially worth it if someday you decide to make a feature length documentary.

            Re: Woody

            Woody was screened today in class and it did quite well. There were much more questions from the class with this film; a lot of comments and suggestions. There were a lot of Woody Allen fans, to my surprise. The professor was impressed as well.

            Since this was the last class meeting, we were to nominate films from our class. Any student in the class could nominate any film, including their own. Both films I made in this class, American Spirit and Woody, were nominated, from two different classmates. I was one of three students who had both of their films nominated. There ended up being rougly 20 or so films nominated.

            Next, each student received a ballot and picked their top five from the nominees. From those, the professor will pick 2 or 3 three, and their films will be presented at the end-of-semester screenings, which are the best films from the semester from every film class -- chosen by the students.

            I was extremely excited to be nominated. I didn't even know one of the students who came up to me and asked for the official title of my film. I felt pretty good that somebody was impressed and wanted to see me get a nomination. I'll feel very honored if one of my films get selected but there are so many people in the class and a lot of people just voted for their own friends so we'll have to see.

              Glad to hear you have a decent shot though, btw how many people are in your class? When I took a video class we were maybe 20 students. I imagine your class is much larger.

                You should look into "Degree Kevin" the basics in lighting if you are going into production. Most newer video cameras are smart to compensate. Using one color temperature with another will give you .... "I hate the way the lights made the footage look".

                Some rough guides
                3200 - 3600 degree K is roughly your regular bulb or some tungsten
                around 5600 degree K is your daylight
                7500 and up will be the none adjusted florescent

                Chances are you were using 3600 K with the work lights and was lighting a daylight setting probably the people where yellow or orange. You can still use these light stands ... find halogen bulbs with daylight color temperature at around 5500 if you want to use them with daylighting.

                  It's tough to say, there's always people coming in and out in a class like this.

                  I'd say there are somewhere between 35-50 students. I know for a fact there were about 50 students at the beginning of class.
