Six Essential Websites for the No-Budget Film Editor | Filmmaker Magazine
In my continuing quest to seek out the best resources for post-production goodies that are 100% gratis, I’ve come across a few really helpful websites, for sound effects, footage and photos and even After Effects templates.

Captured on ARRI ALEXAs (including ALEXA Studio and M cameras with Codex on-board recorders), the film maintains several looks to evoke specific moods as Brad Pitt's character moves from place to place in his zombie-battling endeavors. We spoke with DI colorist Adam Glasman of Company 3, London, about grading the film.


Geoff Boyle responds to ex-Red CEO Jim Jannard | Televisual
What really happened is that I heard about a guy starting up a camera company on the basis of "give me a $1,000 now and I'll give you a camera in nine months" I didn't know any more than that and I said it sounded like a great way to make money, take the deposit and fold the company a few months later, cool scam.


Writer / Actor / Director and self proclaimed camera nerd Zach Braff got in touch with the team at Freefly to use the MōVI handheld stabilizer for some special sequences in his upcoming film "Wish I Was Here". Take a look behind the scenes to see Zach in action with the MōVI! Honor to have the MōVI being used by such a talented Actor / Director.
