Yeah well I'm one of the least nationalistic people you will ever meet. Britain is one of the most class-ridden elitist countries in the world. Not an insult - a fact! Too bad you aren't one of the many, many wonderful exceptions to that generalization. ;) Roger Yeah I'm upper class me. God Save th...

What's nesting? It sounds interesting. I'm lost : (

All I can say is that I believe the USA to be one of the least educated countries in the world (on average) with a population who (again in general) luxuriate in ignorance about all things to do with the rest of the world and intellectual matters.

I wouldn't get bogged down with attempting your film in uncompressed space using a niche codec. Just use MiniDv tape, it is fine for working with super-8. The camera and quality of telecine are what makes the difference.

A very sad loss..

Any other takers for the 60 Seconds film campaign/contest?

Also if you are in the UK and have any factual stuff you may want to upload to Current get in touch with me at ncoombs@currentmedia.com or 020 70704840

Haven't read it all yet, but certainly it is nowhere near as bad as most people on this thread are making out.

They have a contest running which is called 60 Seconds to Save the Earth and involves directing 15, 30 or 60 seconds spots about how to avert climate change. They can be humorous, deadly serious, enti...
