This is another "class" page, which gets active only when I teach the class. Nevertheless, I must to make one personal disclimer: I do not believe in "students films": there are only two kinds of films -- good and bad. Your age is nobody business. So-called "low budget" films is another non-sense! Why should we care about the budget, it's you business how much money you put into it. Select the story and way to shoot it, according to what you got.
I don't like the term "young filmmakers" too. You are here to take the place of the masters. That's the ticket!
I do not where I can talk about the trasition at the end of this course from the films to you, the filmmakers. Since this is the Fundamentals of Film Directing, I feel that I must say that YOUR artistic develeopment is more important than your films. Each your film is a step in growing. If not, you wasted your time.
You as a subject of your own work is a tricky matter. In PS page I try to touch it -- what you have to do after this class. First, remember that you are the filmmaking "machine" and a commodity (films are the product of this company -- your name here).

PS
I hope that you understand that Filmmaking class is the work outside of class time. It's a workshop (seminar, at best); we only test in class what you done, or trying to do.

I asked for it. Since the web is transperent, the pages are being used by the people I do not know (and I try to make them user-friendly); go to the Yahoo directing ONLINE (I'll be working on it for the Spring Fundamental of Direction course -- StageMatrix).
Homework
Again. Most of the work in this class is done outside of classroom, our time in class is for lectures and exercises mostly. Also, for screening the footage and film fragments.

LUCAS: BIG PICTURES ARE DOOMED
[Small Indie Movies Are the Future]
by Lloyd Grove
Leave it to "Star Wars" creator George Lucas to pronounce the death of the Hollywood blockbuster. "The market forces that exist today make it unrealistic to spend $200 million on a movie," said Lucas, a near-billionaire from his feverishly franchised outer-space epics. "Those movies can't make their money back anymore. (more, NYDailyNews.com)

Sony HDV FX1 vs. DVX100a vs. Canon XL2
by Jarred Land and Barry Green
Today’s video cameras are not what they used to be. Features like 24P recording, adjustable gamma settings, widescreen 16:9, and now high-def imaging are now on the market. For aspiring filmmakers, commercial producers, wedding/event videographers, and other shooters, there are three main cameras that are garnering all the attention: the new HDV Sony FX1, the almost-as-new Canon XL2, and the legendary Panasonic DVX100A (which is less than a year old, at the time of this writing) ...
