Hello, I'm in the early stages of producing a short film for this director who wants to shoot on 35 mm film.

But the've been untouched until now. All the default are there, plus the one I installed. Just want to install the other 6 I got.

Hi everyone. I'm researching a script, and I have a few quick questions:
What department creates movie sets and visual effects throughout production (Building fake bedrooms, making fake snow, creating a fake rainstorm, etc.)?

LOL. Royce, I've read this same reaction in various places. Looked awful first time I saw it, but it looks great now. It would seem likely that HBO changed what they aired. Trust yourself and what you...
