Magic Lantern extends the Canon 5D's video capabilities
The Canon 5D mk2 already has some very tempting features for film making. Trammel Hudson has written a firmware hack that unlocks some of the audio capabilities and adds useful onscreen guides for framing and metering. More here.
To be honest, if I was film making with a high end SLR I'd probably invest in a good portable sound recording rig unless I was planning to record in some very contained spaces.

Buyacredit.com- fund a film by selling space in the credits
The idea of selling shares in a movie to raise financing for it is not new. Buyacredit.com is the latest variation on the theme. Three teenagers are selling mentions in the end credits for £1/$2 a share with the aim of raising a million to make their movie. The video on the front page looks like a spoof, so I don't know what to make of the rest of the proposal. Let's assume it's genuine and wish them luck.

Recording the voice over for 60
Scarlett and Gabe are Voice 1 and Voice 2 for 60. We have recorded 4 takes and I'll pick and mix the best versions to dub over the live action.

Getting the film look with digital video
This tutorial is for Adobe After Effects, something I don't have access to at the moment, but I'm sure a lot of it can be reproduced in other programs. Plus, the information on camera settings was really useful.

Be your own ILM
1000 Dollar film has found a video showing some of the tricks software can pull to improve footage with information from still photos. Wow.

Boom
I bought a monopod for a camera, mounted the microphone on it and used it as my boom mike. After some teething troubles (I unwrapped the cable from arround the metal tube because I'm sure it was causing interference) it worked quite well.
Despite the suspension the mic still picks up the scrapes and squeaks as I shift the boom, and clinks as the cable waves into things, so I'm learning the art of holding it perfectly still for a whole take.

Venn.tv
Venn now has a home- www.venn.tv.
Now that that is sorted out I can do some more work on finding funding and rewriting the first two episodes. The first draft of the new versions is a bit naughtier than the previous versions.
