Your audience isn't obligated to watch your film! So before you finalize that script, shot list, or edit, do everything you can to make it easy for them to keep watching. It's common for beginners to get caught up in metaphors, character psychology, and symbolism -- those things that high school English teachers beat into us.

After nearly 100,000 miles of flying around the globe from New York to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, London, Barcelona, Berlin, Sydney, and Miami in that order, it was almost surreal to hold a finished book in my hands today in just under a year from the publication of the first images.
You can't say indie film without say Robert Rodriguez. I've been a HUGE fan of how Robert Rodriguez makes his films for a long time. His legendary film "El Mariachi" was released when I was in high school and changed my life.
Candid, off-the-cuff conversations between filmmaking's most fascinating figures. Top directors tackle insightful questions only other directors would think to ask.
Can movement tell a story? Sure, if you're as gifted as Akira Kurosawa. More than any other filmmaker, he had an innate understanding of movement and how to capture it onscreen. Join me today in studying the master, possibly the greatest composer of motion in film history. For educational purposes only.

The 124th anniversary of Charlie Chaplin's birthday was yesterday, and the date represents both the birth of a man and the birth of a cultural icon. Perhaps the biggest of them all. Chaplin made a name for himself during the early years of cinema where silent films had a natural global appeal and became a worldwide name as an actor, producer, writer and director.
We, of course, live in color. But the world that early Hollywood presented was almost exclusively black and white. Chelsea-born Herbert Kalmus, his college buddy Daniel Comstock and gadget guru Burton Westcott wanted to change that. So in 1915 they launched a company, Technicolor, to do just that.
Steven Sasson in 1973, the year he started working at Eastman Kodak. Imagine a world where photography is a slow process that is impossible to master without years of study or apprenticeship. A world without iPhones or Instagram, where one company reigned supreme.

If you're one of those people who reads internet editorials about film and filmmaking (and let's face it, the fact that you're reading this right now is a good indication that you are), then you've undoubtedly heard somebody lament that computer generated imagery is destroying everything sacred about the moving image medium.

Who? Over his extraordinary 40-year career, Brazilian-born photographer Sebastião Salgado has crossed continents, from native South America to Africa and Eastern Europe, silently documenting the lives of the people he met. A trained economist, Salgado turned to photography after relocating to Paris in the 1970s.
At NAB, Canon showed a prototype HDR 4K monitor. That led to some questions for Mr. Shinichi Yamato, head of the Display Product Business Unit of Canon Inc, Japan (above), and Mr. Hitoshi Doi, Future Product & Solution Group at Canon U.S.A.
