Indiana Jones spoof
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5kbLZYd2kc

used Final Cut 5 and 6, FX done with Motion, sound dubs with Soundtrack pro. On my old Intel iMac at home and occasionally on a G5 Quad.

PS- the Green screen is incredibly poor

I taught myself. Lots of trial and error and I'm still learning new tricks on each project.The more you work with it, the more you see what you can and can't do with Motion. it does take a while to learn.

First I made a boo boo: it was a Canon XL-1 or 2 for the Aladdin film.

As far as using the 'real' cameras? Lots of prep. You could fit either 100' (2.5 minutes) or 400' feet (10 minutes) of film in those cameras. You had to know what you wanted to shot, you had to choose what shots were important. You had to light everything using only light meters and contrast viewers to guesstimate what it would look like on film (we didn't have video feeds for those cameras). You had to make sure your actors knew their lines and not mess up as to not waste film.

Then there was agony when you sent out your film to the lab (was there dirt in the lens? On the film? Maybe the sprocket holes missed the registration pin? Maybe the light meter was miscalibrated? Light leaks?)

I'm all for the convenience of digital but shooting (and editing) on film definitely teaches a certain discipline.

The music for this came from the Super Nintendo/Sega Genesis video game, didn't it? I played that game as a kid.

I'd really like any tips or insight that anyone has to offer, this is one of my first ventures. I came back from a 3 day run of shows with some friends with about 2 hrs of footage, made a 7:30 cut for youtube, will be putting all the songs individually on there and then also cutting a dvd for the other guys/friends. Here's the first video:
