Freebie Thursday!!
Get your Free Gorilla Grain today!!
All you have to do is sign up to Gorilla Grain’s Newsletter and receive your three free 720p 35mm film grain. Give your HDSLR or Digital footage that film look that it deserves.
Last month, the Tribeca Film Institute had a panel of filmmakers from HBO and TFI finalists sharing their knowledge about distribution. Before you go on a film festival try to get these important files that will help get your film or media distributed to the masses.This week’s freebie Thursday we have found Red Giant’s Colorista Free and Lut Buddy. Both plugins are really helpful for those who are color grading their piece.
Colorista Free is a small and yet powerful Three-way color correction wheel.
Magic Bullet Colorista Free is a simplified, elegant color corrector that anyone can share and use. Our popular 3-Way wheels and RGB numeric sliders give everything you need for basic color grading, and it is workflow-ready for sharing industry standard CDL data.
Lut Buddy is a very nice tool that can draw and read patterns of colors on your video or correction. You save the reading pattern and you can make all your footage look the same as the original footage. It’s amazing!
Magic Bullet LUT Buddy was designed for the professional colorist and bridges the gap from desktop applications to high end systems and hardware boxes. Use Magic Bullet LUT Buddy with host apps like After Effects and FCP to output LUTs and communicate with higher end systems ranging from DaVinci Resolve to Panasonic displays. If you’re already using 1D or 3D LUT’s in your workflow, this tool was designed for you to share values between compliant software and devices.
Both freebie Thursday works with Adobe After Effects CS3, CS4 and CS5; Adobe Premiere Pro CS5; Final Cut Pro 6 and 7; and Motion 3 and 4.
This is our new latest Freebie Thursday. This is our shot log whenever you are shooting a short film, film or a commercial always have this form with you on set. The shot log can be made either as the shoot progresses or after the shoot finishes. If possible, it really helps to do the shot log during the shoot — it will be easier and save you time later.
There are no hard and fast rules regarding the format of the shot log. But do remember to follow our Creative Commons Attribution rules.
For the latest Freebie Thursday from Are We Shooting Yet we bring you a Location Agreement. You may save or print it out and use it to document your agreements with the people in charge of a location where you will be filming. Don’t be afraid to use this agreement to get that location your film deserves.
We’re back with a new Freebies Thursday. It’s been a while, right?
Here I have found a very nice Field of View Calculator. Compare different lens on different sensors. With this Field of View Calculator made by Abel Cine can be really helpful on making your decision with “What lens should I use on the Gh1? Or which Lens should I use on the 7D?”. There’s more cameras in their database…so do not jump on your chair and scream. This FOV calculator can give you a better idea of how your image will crop and look through it’s sensor.
Give this a try before you shot!
Today’s Freebies it’s all about sound. Sound could make your movie 50% better. By bringing your audience closer to the world your presenting them.
That is why I am presenting you FreeSound Project. Free Sound it’s under the Creative Commons properties, which makes it awesome for sharing and obtaining those sound effect you couldn’t record on the day of shoot.
It’s great for post-editing and it’s free! Use this as an advantage for you. No more Sound Effect CD’s! Just go to FreeSound; search and download the sound effect for your movie.
This Freebies Thursday we are presenting MPEG Streamclip. What is MPEG Streamclip? MPEG Streamclip is a powerful video converter, player, editor for Mac and Windows. It can play many movie files, not only MPEGs; it can convert MPEG files between muxed/demuxed formats for authoring.
Especially, those who does not have enough cash for a blu-ray bunner. DVD’s are not dead!! They are quite usable actually.
Enjoy today’s Freebie Thursday.
This Freebies Thursday we are presenting you CELTX. This would be the best Freebies Thursday of all time. I have written so many screenplays in this software that it made me forget of Final Draft. Great features like
which is a major thing in this software. No more index cards all over the floor.
Scriptwriting, storyboard scenes, breakdown, and finally the shooting schedule.
Everything that an independent filmmaker will need on his film ventures. The best thing about this software is…FREE!
