Um, was it me or did it see the “bowchickawowow” music bed seemed to complement Jerome’s ponytail?

And by complement, I mean sorta freak me out.

Information was spot-on and filmmakers should listen up to Jerome! I will watch it again and see if there's any other specific comments I have, but overall I think this is a great intro video - and I'm sure the workshops would be very worthwile.

LOL, not as an excuse but I setup on sticks and sat to the side making notes, I would occasionally reframe and adjust, admittedly not the best way to do it but very on the fly due to scheduling etc...anyways yes you correct sometimes he sat up and the framing cropped to low, I'll concede your point, but worst framing you ever saw....yowch?

(in case ur wondering it was 9:11 - 12:24 in full screen) *not starting a flame war.. just take extra caution next time around.. sayonara... i’ve downloaded the 195MB video and watched it full screen. i think thats why it was a bit distracting. just watched the internet streaming version and it wasn’t obvious at all.

Other then that it was a haircut on top and R eye intersecting R 1/3rd by the textbook bro. Not sure what else you might be referring to. Zack,

Don't you know how to shoot a interview? the framing are the worse ones i've ever seen. very very distracting. if you want to focus on his mouth, do it correctly. DONT BLOCK THE INTERVIEWEEs EYES while he is talking. p/s: the CONTENT of the video is great! gave me an idea of what real world distribution is. (not the way you shot it) p/p/s: i'm a regular visitor of Freshdv and love the news updates on it especially abt REDONE and M2 adapters. i’ve just stopped that video around 1:12 minutes. who shot that video?

I got a little lost in there somewhere? Because of the money in DVD market they somehow screwed up the theatrical release, which is odd because thats usually a marketing tool to promote Home DVD sales? Anyways sounds like a good case study, can you maybe just clarify some of the details here for me? BTW Guys sorry for the crappy compression we just had to go as low as possible because its such a long piece, hopefully the information warrants the compromise. Prune,

You may have heard of "Eden Log", a French movie, which is making a lot of noise in France as well as in the US. The movie will show up soon there thanks to Magnolia Pictures. In France, BAC did a great job to have the movie go out to ONLY 60 movie theatre !!! about half of then did not get the stuffs for the display ! Only 3 cinema in Paris, the biggest city and NO other display in other biggest city. Result : 2000 entries the first day... They killed the movie !! The reason ? Selling DVD's make more money than having to pay 250 copies for cinema. I Hope Magnolia will not be so stupid ! You may send this “tutorial” to BAC Films in France.
