We had one of these somewhere--a thread for off topic, weird, funny stuff or random questions to ask.

Always picking on the Danes.

I'm doing some research on filmmaking and wondered if anyone could direct me to a website or books they might know would be helpful.

Specifically, what kind of cameras (model types) do filmmakers use, maybe a list of some of the technical jargon and camera and editing techniques. Thanks.

We had an actual "off topic" thread? Here? At Esplatter? Kind of like having a swimming pool in the middle of the ocean...

off topic is our style.

i don't know where you should go to get some ideas for cameras and so on, but i'll bet they're pretty expensive

Hey there BloodScribe,

I'm sorry to help you as little as this, but I am very exausted at the moment. When I find the time, and especially the energy, I'll send you more information. Meanwhile, I hope this will be useful for you : http://www.psu.edu/dept/inart10_110/inart10/film.html

See you then.

That link is from State Penn.  The only thing you'll learn from that school is how to avoid slipping in puddles of vomit on your way to class.  That and how to light a couch on fire when your geriatric football coach tucks his prolapsed  colon back in after a big win.

Thanks Donnie. I appreciate all the information I can get (and I'll be doing my own online and library research).

No one needs to go out of their way too much looking for info, just wondered if anyone knew of information from past work/research.

BTW, Roger Corman has a good autobiography on independent filmmaking called How I Made a Hundred Movies and Never Lost a Dime. Very funny read.

Yeah, I think it was during that brief period when most of us felt we should actually discuss things from the horror world. So we made a thread and posted shit like weird news stories, discussions on computer games, etc. Stuff like that. Probably the only time Lucius appreciated us.

I actually think that somewhere out there Lucius is laughing his ass off at all our shenanigans...

Oh yeah, and on topic I meant to say that although I have the vaguest of vague interests in film-making (I made a short film, remember?) but am at exactly the same point as you and not sure I know anything that would be any help to you... considering I shot the whole thing on my sony handi-cam! Pretty sure that's not industry-standard.

Scary.
And, I didn't realize it, but I'm now over 900 posts. Holy shit.

Great. I don't remember being able to kick Albert in the nuts when he reached 1000 posts in like three days, though. Does Albert even have nuts? Er, I mean Vincent Price.
