I don't know if we have a thread like this, but it could be interesting, so here it goes: this is a thread tor, as the title sayss, tips & tricks. Since this is the Pros & Novices sub-forum, the tips & tricks should be about film making.

If you know anything about film making, something that might help others, be it simple or complex, post it here. If you discover a good article or video about film making, something useful or enlightening, post it here.

Best tip off hand: learn the keyboard shortcut keys. Time spent dragging the mouse to places is time you could be spending editing.

Marketing suggestions for short films.

I'm not sure I agree with their "release it everywhere" strategy; a lot of services ask for too many rights. ("We can use your video for any business related purpose," terms like that.)

Been watching science experiment videos. Some of the techniques may make for interesting special FX.

A bunch of YouTube vids. I'll link to them; embedded videos take up a ton of bandwidth.

A guy gives a tour of a set he built in his garage, with set-construction pointers.

Another tour of the set, with a few more decorations.



Two videos, one about making a cheap model city, another about videoing it:

Making it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuFBrVaeUAc

Videoing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyDvCzxcKhs

Turned out surprisingly well.



And here's one about making a model spaceship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5NzxDsWfDY

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
