  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Arhhh...

"I could give a damn" or "I could care less" ; the opposite (more or less) of what is generally meant: I couldn't care less. ( :

+1 and I wonder what percentage of 'filmmakers' or 'short films' have actually (been) shot on celluloid.

The meaning of those words have transcended their origins. A digitally shot film is a film nonetheless in my opinion, unless we dont consider Hugo, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Social Network, The Hobbit or Skyfall "films." To imply that Scorcese & Richardson, Fincher & Cronenweth, Peter Jackson & Andre Lesnie, and Mendes & Deakins plus their crews who worked tremendously hard to make these digitally shot films are no longer considered "filmmakers," is insane.

Oh man somebody who refers to himself as a videographer and shoots weddings once referred to me as a videographer and I got so annoyed at him....

To me, wedding films when done well are another arm of filmmaking. I actually feel bad for people who make a living doing it and are trashed by the elite filmmaking community. There are good wedding filmmakers and there are bad ones. Just like there are good narrative films and bad ones. I try to film one wedding a year to test my ability to do something in one take. I have a lot of respect for this side of the business.

Wasn't Argo shot on 35mm then down scaled to 16mm then back up to 35mm?
 
Don't get me started on those that use the word "alot". It doesn't exist! It is "A LOT" as in two words, people!

Oh, and never start a sentence with "Me", as in "Me and my folks, yada, yada, yada." Always put others before yourself, in life and in words.
 
Many thanks, Martin. I do always report when someone craps in a sales thread. That said, some mods occasionally adopt a "blame the victim" stance and you never know when that will happen. Recently, I reported such an intrusion and the owner or CEO of the camera company we're all here for came back with a rather inappropriate response, particularly so because it was apparent he hadn't even read all the posts. This is a risk of reporting.

"Anytime soon" seems to have crossed over to the UK. It's horrible - the "anytime" is completely redundant!
 
Many things annoy or concern me – usually with good reason, sometimes due to my admittedly own pre-conceptions, political leanings, or views of the world in general.

Grammar on a public forum populated by many people who’s native tongue is not English, people who are posting on devices ever-decreasing in size and people who may be dyslexic or have a poor command of the written word (which in no way reflects what they can do with a camera) are not high on my list of annoyances.

People who choose to denigrate such people however…
