Themes and other Cinematic Geekery

Cinema buffs, this is the forum for discussions about filmmaking, camera equipment, editing, genre, narrative arc, character definition, themes, subplots and other stuff no one else understands.

Best review EVER of one of George Lucas' many hot steaming piles of film.

Some guy named Mike from Milwaukee, WI put together a 70-minute video review discussing the many reasons why Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was horrible. And this isn’t your usual fanboy rant, this is an epic, well-edited well-constructed piece of geek film criticism. In fact, Lost co-creator and Star Trek producer Damon Lindelof, warns, “Your life is about to change. This is astounding film making. Watch ALL of it.”

In this opening segment, Mike discusses the major flaw of The Phantom Menace which is the characters and the lack of connection with the audience.

What Kind of Gear Did You Use?

I'm interested in knowing what kind of cameras & sound equipment you used for the film. Also what kind of editing equipment you would recommend for cutting this kind of documentary? Thanks in advance!

Camera Movement in Documentary Style Film

To the film crew:

Is there a certain technique used to make a film which has a documentary feel but without having too much camera movement? I love the style, but far too often a film (ala Blair Witch) which uses a lot of hand-held cameras -can give the viewer motion sickness. Watching the preview of "Dropping In" didn't make me feel ill..which is very rare for me.

Is there a way to keep the camera relatively still in this style, without losing the documentary feeling?

Thanks!

(Great movie, by the way...absolutely loved it=)
