You think high def is clear..? Well you would be wrong. I mean it does look pretty damn good, but what is good? Ever heard of 2k or 3k or even 4k..? How about 5k!!!! Today's digital video cameras are getting ridiculously insane. The average high definition camera shoots at about 2 million pixels per frame and the red one's EPIC camera shoots about 12 million pixels per frame! You can see how basically it would take seven or eight of the newest 1080p hi-def TVs to show an entire 5K image, and even then it wouldn’t be the whole thing because Red shoots to a special raw format with more color depth than your TV can display. This is just crazy....(in the digital world).

After you got your production in order with equipment your next step would be to find some actors...But how...? A big part in what helped us get a lot of are actors was from facebook. What from facebook..? Yea..., I personally think facebook is childish(Stephanie is has a hair problem.OMG...!!!.) and also retarded. The only reason I'm on it is because it is a great tool in connection. You can search people's majors and interests. So we typed in acting and it showed about 5,000 people. So then go one by one and message them. Next day you have tons of results and potentially your main characters! This could only work while your still young, don't be that washed up 36 year old messaging young girls to be apart of a "independent" project. Also, you would only want to do this if your budget is as low as ours and can't afford a casting director.....
So I thank the internet once again.....
