Damen,

I am very sorry for the very late response. Before this morning, the last time I was in Cebu City was when I watched Wes Craven's "Red Eye" with MrBiddle; after this, I had to fly out of Cebu City to some place elsewhere I was doing a film/TV commercial for a tetrapack drink.

I have now cleared that PM box; in which case, you may now proceed to send me a short note. The offer to buy still stands.

And here is a bit of good news: The Cebuano/Visayan narrative feature films are soon to break out like a chrysalis. Already there are two production groups now engaged in creative development for two Cebuano/Visayan film narratives. One is Romcar Productions to which I have been contracted as Executive Producer by co-producer Salvador Loyola; the other is yet unnamed group holding fort at the Guadalupe Heights subdivision and now poised to do a full digital once the right material is found and obtained (I guess it will be the BRodriguez difficult classic "Inday, Paabuta Ako sa Langit).

Has anyone tried compositing with just natural lighting indoors?.. actually this test was done in the afternoon with the sun right behind the camera shining through our windows.

one thing i learned though is that you can't key any matte areas if your vid is washed-out...

[vipvip68]

Sounds like a good idea... let me know if this thing will push through

I use the ff programs for video editing:

Premiere, After Effects, Flash, Photoshop

what thing?

[Musette du Coudray]

It seemed that everyone interested have experience, aside from me. *cough cough*

Just an opinion.

Editing is simply not all about Premier or Vegas or Avid or KEM or Steinbeck. Editing is about telling the story. Before we try learning anyone of the tools mentioned above, let us first read and learn James Monaco's "Editing Cape Fear".

This is true... and you can discover this by editing "random footage" and weaving it into one story such as as get-together or a birthday party... just my opinion.

The Editing Section of James Monaco "Understanding Cinema" is one good way to start our way to the movies; Monaco also wrote "Editing Cape Fear".

And now comes a definitive book on film editing by Charles Koppelman ($39.99 / New Riders and Peachpit Press) titled "How Walter Murch Edited 'Cold Mountains' Using Apple's Final Cut Pro and What This Means for Cinema'.

Like a carpenter, we have the best tools --- such as Premier, Vegas, Final Cut Pro, Avid, Moviola, KEM, Steinbeck, etc. --- and can hit the nail right on its head with our eyes closed. But can we build a house? This is editing question.
