  • It’s always best to be known as the best in town instead of the cheapest in town. It means you can work less, make more and add to your reel or ego with every project. That’s hard to do with grinder gigs.
    As far as who to talk to, it depends on the inity you are marketing to. There is no template. Research is your buddy. You can usually find who to speak to by name some place on their web sight. If no luck there, you’ll find great value in being very cool to the receptionist who answers your cold calls and simply asking who to speak to. They will indeed usually tell ya.

  • There is no template. Much of it should be done by listening to your gut. I recently had a wacko chic stiff me for 4 grand. She is too dang wacko for me to even mess with. My atty was wanting to sue her and I simply explained that I am not into paying 100 bucks to make 50. Life has taught me scrapping with big boys is easy stuff but to stay away from feisty fat chicks. I’ll just youtube her ass with a fun voice over and call it even.

    Something about seeing an adrenaline junky in me. I reckin that’s acurate but dude, I do better on beaches than icebergs.

    Instant sex can help shots that needed a gaffer.
    Dublicate the layer, darken (over darken) the top layer, decrease contrast as needed, maybe add some saturation. You wanna overdo all of this. Now blur it as desired… juuust a bit. Lastlym kae it’s opacity 50 percent.. maybe 30 percent.
    Hows that look?

    Prolly your codec. Try the meridien uncompressed codec and see what happens. It’s alpha friendly, unlike some of the newer ones.

    I meant that as the package deal… the whole enchelada. Again, I just pulled a number out of the sky, not knowing your current situation.

    It’s all in the scream, really. Just pop it on quick and enhance it with audio. You’ll find audio to be the biggest part of horror.

    Start playing with blut changes, along with scale changes with added glows. Motion blur is what brings the quick position changes to life.

    You’ll find lots a different fountains at your local garden store. You can change the pressure by going with smaller hoses or a bigger pump. You can also manually bend these hoses to a heartbeat to get pulse sprays.
