Here is Paul in the BTS of "Stream of Dreams."

Friend and fellow film maker Paul Vernon died today. I enjoyed the privelege of working with Paul on his modern Western "Stream of Dreams" he was a Western enthusiast and won Crystal Award with his feature "Vermijo" and made a number of Western themed shorts. Paul was an active m...

Roy; did another search and found the comments on VSDC v other free software, sort of mixed reviews particularly the fact there is no hardware acceleration; non existent on my Chromebook anyway! . I followed up on ShotCut which received high marks but to access the program you have to download a bro...

The original discussion was what free software would be suitable for a beginner with a lower powered computer. Media 100 is without a doubt fine software but is Mac only and is no longer supported which is fine until Mac update their OS and it no longer functions or you stay with an older OS. This i...

Some time ago there was a thread about free software and we checked some offerings but without much success.

I seem to have an uncanny knack of ending threads so I will add my two cents worth. 1. IMDB; I have two sets of entries on IMDB but have never added a single entry myself; they have been added by people I work with so take them with a large pinch of salt. 2. As reported elsewhere the simplest way to...

Quick addon - a very quick run through the top films at BIAFF shows that most are well under 30 minutes so the feature films are not representative of true amateur work. A time limit would seem to have little impact on entries.

A quick look on IMDB shows that "Sobre la Muerte" had a budget of $50,000 and runs 98 minutes. From the discussion the films which have caused most concern seem to fall into the category of feature films; typically running 90 minutes or longer. The simplest solution is to set a time limit;...
