Discuss: Getting to No
by karlcow
15 Questionnaire
It would be very interesting if you could share a mockup, template of your questionnaire. Or if specific to each projects you are creating, at least, the type of questions in the questionnaire.
On the side of the No No for projects, setting a deadline for delivery of the projects or even a step without having all the materials which guarantee the delivery date.
We have to be very careful when committing to dates, to also set the right expectations of the client. Too often, in a project, it is possible to say, let’s release this section at this date YYYY-MM-DD, the materials will be given to you in the next two weeks. Red flag. It is often better to say, once given this list of items (deliveryDate), we will be releasing this section at “deliveryDate 10 business days”.
In middle size agencies, there is also an issue of resources management. There is more than one project in parallel. Explaining to the client that if he/she misses a particular window, the project will be delayed.
Keep written records of every discussions you had, put down the RESOLUTION and the ACTION. After each meeting, send your meeting minutes to the project participants and the client. It is often better to have a scribe. If you get phone calls from the clients (which is fine), send a summary of the discussion just after.
If you are using a project management system (be mail, sharepoint, basecamp, etc. anything), if the client says “It is not the way I work”, rise a red flag again.
Be careful also of the “just this time” or “just for once” on a exceptional work issue, because if you authorize it once, the client will keep the foot in the door, to reuse it again.

Magic Lantern Firmware Wiki for 5D Mark II
by sbrothier
(via)
Magic Lantern is an open platform for developing enhancements to the amazing Canon 5D Mark II full frame digital SLR. This camera is a "game changer" for independent film makers:
* It allows the use of a wide range of lenses (anything that can be adapted to the EF mount).
* The 35mm full-frame sensor is larger than the RED ONE's sensor, Super 35 film. It is approximately the size of VistaVision. This means shallower native depth-of-field than anything on the market, except for the Phantom 65.
* The dynamic range and latitude are close to the capabilities of high-end HD cameras.
* The low-light performance is currently unrivaled, even by the RED ONE.

Bonsoir à tous, je fais juste un petit post pour dire que je viens de trouver un logiciel très utile et très simple à utiliser.

ENTRETIEN AVEC KOJI WAKAMATSU - Dissidenz
by paulantoinem
De passage à Paris pour présenter son dernier film "United Red Army", Koji Wakamatsu, réalisateur culte du cinéma indépendant japonais (Quand l'embryon part braconner, Les anges violés, Go Go Second Time Virgin, films subversifs des années 60-70 issues de la mouvance pink), revient sur les raisons qui l'ont poussé à réaliser ce film, sa préparation, et son rapport difficile avec l'autorité. "United Red Army" relate les événements tragiques entourant l'"affaire du chalet Asama" -prise d'otage par une poignée d'étudiants d'une aubergiste dans les montagnes japonaises qui sonna le glas des mouvements contestataires des années 70 dans l'Archipel- et brosse le portrait d'une generation revoltée dont la radicalité et l'isolement précipiteront la chute.
United Red Army - Dissidenz
by paulantoinem
Ce qui déroute le plus dans UNITED RED ARMY c’est que le film de Koji Wakamatsu n’obéit à aucune règle, aucun code et ne se plie à aucun système autre que le sien : une totale liberté de ton et d’expression qui l’ont amené à produire et réaliser UNITED RED ARMY à la manière d’un guérillero (c’est-à-dire en s’auto-finançant complètement, en faisant exploser sa maison pour les besoins du film, en hypothéquant sa salle de cinéma, en assurant la direction de production, le montage du film, jusqu’à la distribution et à l’exploitation en salles au Japon…).
