    I wish I was doing what you are doing, man, it's great. I like how you took the comment about poser as a chance to grow, not an insult. Where do all of your ideas come from?

    I screwed up on POSER. No one else to blame but myself. Gotta keep focused on the next and not let it hold me down.

    I get inspired by a variety of things. Music, other art and what all kinds of people truly care about. For example: 3 Audrey was about friendship. POSER is about passion. ‘We must act out passion before we can feel it’ (Jean-Paul Sartre) is a quote that influences the first scene in POSER. She starts taking photos before she realizes what she’s actually doing (the word ‘it’ being stretched to ‘anything’).

    I think one of our most cultivated possessions is our memories. Our next short film (might shoot this summer) is all about that. Analyzing human interaction/wants/needs is just the way I create, it aint the right way by any means. Thanks for asking.

    I love your work, but Poser was a bit of a let down. The trailer was dope, but the film's narrative was kind of contrived. I wasn't sure if it was a satire and would reference back to interviews about Poser, and I guess it wasn't? The acting was not so good [sorry] The cinematography was fabulous as always, but the narrative was trying to say too much and came off a little phony.

    Thanks for the message. We became aware of some of those things as the finished product came together. No excuses about anything. I’m learning from my mistakes and I hope you’ll stay tuned for our next presentations!

    Do you pay your actors? How much?

    No. Absolutely nothing.

    where do you find the actors for your narratives? I mean the longer projects like 3 Audrey and Poser

    They are usually my friends from high school.

    Honestly, you're going to do so well in your future. Raw talent. Hilarious, original, wonderful. I've shared your content with so many of my friends! Love it!

    Thanks for the kind words. I will always try to focus on progression and be as original as possible!

    what lens/lenses do you prefer to use while shooting video? do you have a favourite?

    It all depends on the style I’m going for with the project. My favorite lens is the Canon 50mm 1.8… an inexpensive classic.

    I love wide lenses as well though, I use a 19-35mm FD and 28mm FD & EF lenses.

    Treat whatever you’re using(nice gear does not equal nice content) as an extension of yourself and you’ll end up with great stuff.

    Do you have any problems syncing the 4HN over long clips? What do you use to fix that in post? And what editing suite do you prefer? Sorry for so many questions, but you guys seem like the right ones to ask!

    Hey there, I’ve heard of issues like that but have never experienced them myself. I assume that a fast memory card would minimize problems like that.

    I use Final Cut Pro 7, I would love to cut on Sony Vegas but FCP is my best friend right now. I’ll upgrade to FCP X when it stops looking like Adobe After Effects.

    Is it true you've figured out the 4k hack for the T2i?

    4K is completely unnecessary for web content.

    Unless it’s timelapse.

    Or a tilt-shift montage.

    Right?

    I just got a T3i and made a video, but my videos are still looking somewhat grainy, definitely not as HD as yours!

    What are your export settings?
    Help!

    Low ISO, low ISO! Fix it in camera, not post.
