Expand commentGreat List. As a Producer I can't say how important it is Talent LOOK like their photo. I understand that you got that one shot where you resemble Kate Hudson, but if you come in looking like a completely different person it confuses everyone. Also, we love Talent that read our Castings in detail before they submit. Some actors send us Thank You cards after shooting. We love those actors and we tend to remember them faster for future roles.
So true Tiffy! Thanks for the comments!
love this - so true!
Hi there Courtney, great help with the tips you mention. look forward to hearing more. Thanks

Taken by itself, just the experience of discovering the vast number of creative people who are enthusiastic and knowledgeable about film making here has been enriching for me, and continues to be. But beyond that I've experienced some concrete results in the way of collaborations. Since uploading some demos of my film composing, and spending a good deal of time reading lounge posts (and occasionally responding to them), I was contacted by two energetic and creative Stage 32 members who wanted to work with me. Both involved projects that are at the high standard of quality I am interested in. With Glen Kinnaird, a boundlessly imaginative and thoroughly involved member of the local theater scene at the heart of Broadway in New York City, I've found a fruitful partnership and a new musical project with exciting potential. My collaborations with actor/director Michael Gier have already resulted in two short films, one which has already reached a combined viewer base of 40 million people. Distribution deals for future feature film work with Michael, where I am signed on as composer, are currently in the pipeline. I know that a great number of industry professionals found their success by being there as friends and collaborators found their own successes. This is a great place to find those people who you can tell are destined for greater things -- just like you are. I encourage you all to look at each others demos, find people you believe in. You can definitely make this site work for you. That's what I've found. Stay positive!
Yes, I've made a few positive connections as well... an audition, potential writing partners, etc.
Well done Mark..... way to go.... Now how to find myself a writing partner to co write with....
Wonderfully stated! Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful to hear, Paul! And well done on all the work.

Expand commentThanks so much, Arhynn! I'm looking forward to gaining more professional experience as many of the other composers at this site have, like you. :-) I'm getting a couple of top-notch audio engineers to mix some cues for me, and then I will have them to put up on a soon-to-be-built web site, as well as here at Stage32. Very exciting!
The Canon 7D has worked wonderfully for me and many others

Expand commentThe 7D and 5D are great cameras for what they are good for but better options are available for the money depending on what one needs to do. For instance, the BMCC Pocket camera in many instances performs as well as the 7D for about the same money with better sound; if you want a small package it is certainly a way to consider. Then, there are larger options - http://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/digital-cinematography/news/sony-f5...
It always comes down to application and budget. There are a lot of options that can make it confusing for some people, but that's really a good thing, because more options are finally becoming accessible for a reasonable price.

I love my cams: https://vimeo.com/51416194 Panasonic AF-100 The first DSLR hybrid and my brilliant little Panasonic Lumix GH2'S. Lot of love and value in these cams and won't break the bank.
