PS: Tom, we did have a tiny crew of 3 (I was Producer/writer/director/DP), and zero budget.</p> </blockquote> <p>It seems to me that the festivals that you were rejected from are very short sighted and snooty because a film should stand on its own. I have seen profesionaly done films that I thought were too slow but when all is said and done unless you are doing a film for a client the only person you need to please is yourself. Art is very subjective. I read the critics on most of the films being released today and I find that if they don't like it I will.</p> <p>One suggestion I would give is to look at tightenin up the dialog the film would pick if that were done.</p> <p>Keep on filming and learning.</p> http://videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/short-shot-on-my-canon-gl2#post-34948 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:05:31 +0000 smaisch 34948@http://videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks everyone.
