Which Video Sharing Service is Best for You?
The NoFilmSchool newsletter includes a lot of exclusive content that doesn’t appear on this site; this post is a sample of one such email that used to go out. In it, we’ll look at why you should use a video sharing service, and which services might work best for you. I mistakenly removed this email from the list thinking it was causing folks to unsubscribe, but it turns out I was reading the analytics wrong (and I can’t reinstitute the email without sending it a second time). So here’s a sample of the newsletter — subscribe free for more exclusive content! More »
As part of the Tribeca Film Institute’s ongoing video series, they recently put on a panel at The New School to address the following question: “how in the world do you (can you?) make a living as a filmmaker?” This video is of proper classroom length, clocking in at over 90 minutes. It’s not highly visual, so if you’re at a day job, put on some headphones, hit play, hide the tab, and get paid to learn from working filmmakers: More »
An oldie but goodie, the Eclectic Method’s Tarantino Mixtape recently won a Vimeo Community Choice award. I’ve seen EM “perform” live, and their extreme mashups of pop culture artifacts, projected onto several screens at once, can cross the wires in your brain. Whether this is a good or bad thing is up for debate, but Tarantino’s own oeuvre owes heavily to the art of the mashup, and thus Eclectic Method’s remix seems a fitting tribute: More »
The filmmakers behind Wallace and Gromit have created what is billed as “the smallest stop-motion animation ever.” Shot on a CellScope attached to a Nokia N8
Here’s a 10-minute, DSLR-shot movie about movies. Directed by Nuno Rocha and shot in Austin Texas. It might be a bit meta, but it comes with the message for screenwriters to treat your characters like they’re real people… More »
“Umbra” is the latin word for “shadow”, and makes for a fitting title for Malcolm Sutherland’s enchanting short. Malcolm was recently selected to provide an animated promo for the Vimeo Festival + Awards, and I found the Canadian animator’s latest to be an immersive and otherworldly 5-minutes, worth watching more than once: More »
This panel from the Woodstock Film Festival features Richard Abramowitz, Bob Berney, Edward Burns, Ted Hope and John Sloss (for their bios, see this page and search for “New Distribution Paradigms”). It offers not only an opportunity to listen to industry titans talk frankly about the changing distribution landscape, but also to relay their own past experiences. Could you get all these guys together to give a guest lecture at a film school? Probably not. But here they are free thanks to the internet and the Woodstock festival: More »
The Last 3 Minutes, a DSLR short from director Po Chang, reminds me a bit too strongly of a video released a year ago by director Chris Milk, entitled Last Day Dream. Even the titles are similar! Both videos are shot in their entirety from a first-person perspective, enabled by the small size and maneuverability of the DSLR du jour, the 5d Mark II. Here they are in chronological order (Last Day Dream was released a year before The Last 3 Minutes). NSFW language in the former: More »
