Shucks, I was going to make him look.... ;)

Hey guys,
Coming from both a long term boradcasting role and lately a post production role, there is a BUNCH of difference in the way things are pulled together in various branches of what we so loosely cal "Video Production" or whatever term applies to the "community" section of DVinfo.net.

I think an Indie forum would be a great addition. There are things that are talked about in the other forums, like lighting and how to pull a green screen and so on but there could be a single outlet for everything that has been listed. I am particularly interested in the concept of story development and the psychology used in character studies.

Odd stuff like how the dominant color in a scene can set a psychological mood in the viewer. How to effectively present a script to a potential backer, all stuff indie guys need to know and do but is never dealt with as a cohesive effort on our other forums.

I understand if the job would be overwhelming but I think it would be a great addition. I suppose I see it as more soft goods than hardware discussions. We can talk about lights and tripods elsewhere but we cant talk about Mamet or Lucas and their treatment of main characters in feature films anywhere. We can talk about lighting hardware but it would be nice to talk about lighting design or script formats, lessons on storyboarding, that sort of thing.

Thanks for listening.

Techniques for Independent Production is our indie/movie forum.
There are two forums here for discussing films as well.

Well I'll be. See what happens when the subtopics are burried. Cool. Thanks for pointing that one out. Now I'll be up the rest of the night...

My work here is done.
