UFO Phenomenon, Space Aliens and Filmmaking Technology

UFO phenomenon, space aliens and filmmaking technologies are fascinating to me. I have been watching documentaries on UFO phenomenon and space aliens not too long ago. It is an fascinating subject if you are a believer or nonbeliever that extraterrestrial life exists and has visited this planet. There is outstanding entertainment primarily based on the topic of alien abduction and invasion. Orson Welles brought on panic and hysteria with The War of the Worlds radio drama he narrated and directed as an adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel in 1938. Steven Spielberg thrilled film audiences with Close Encounters of the Third Type.

The entire space alien and UFO phenomenon for what ever purpose got me to considering around the filmmaking method. Film production technologies keeps acquiring far better every year. It is just about like science fiction reality when you appear back at the history of cinema. Presently persons can shoot an whole function film with their iPhone, edit it on their computer system, and stream it on social networks to millions of viewers across the globe.

The only downside to this freedom to make motion pictures is from time to time we as filmmakers rely also substantially on the film and editing gear we are working with and neglect the standard core of entertainment - telling a fantastic story. I caught myself not too long ago acquiring also distracted by which camera to rent to shoot Online Predator. We are only at the budgeting stage of production, however I am currently considering RED is the only household of digital cameras we really should be working with. I caught RED fever.

I generally send the final draft of a screenplay and my shot sheet (I personally do not storyboard but) to Editor Tim Beachum so he can do an particularly rough EDL. With most independent film productions there is hardly ever the dollars to do reshoots of a scene to get it suitable if anything is missed or screwed up for the duration of filming. When I study Tim's notes for Online Predator I fell back down to Earth. The in-house budget for Net Predator could not help the production expense involved with renting a RED camera package and my shot sheet revealed a couple of oversights on camera moves that essential additional lighting time.

The advantage of coproducing indie motion pictures with a pal is the brutal honesty that exists. It is like you are space travelers walking on the moon for the 1st time. Arranging gets you there, yet there are nevertheless substantially of unknowns operating wild about you. Editor Tim Beachum told me, "Amigo, there is no point attempting to generate a RED camera work for this film budget. I picked up a Canon XL H1. Shoot with what we have."

I have generally been a filmmaker that created it work with what ever budget there was. Yet reading so substantially World wide web around kick ass cameras I ultimately got caught up and forgot the key go of it. Filmmaking technologies is only a tool, not the driving force of making motion pictures. We are as the writers, producers, actors, directors, and editors of films.
