I'm looking into moving to Portland Oregon in about 6 months. And I guess I'm just trying to get a foot in the industry over there.. doing anything. Anyone have any tips or recommendations as to how to get into the industry in a new place without much experience? And specifically in Portland? I have produced one short film and have worked for half a year at a rental house that has a studio. I'm looking for anything that's even remotely related to filmmaking. How/wehre do I start?

We're shooting a student film this weekend and everything has been smooth sailing and been going according to plan but I have just one worry about the location we're shooting at. It's perfect for the vision and lighting and everything but...

We're trying to shoot in a public place right next to a dog park (so much for location scouting) and it's too late to find a better place to shoot. We're stuck with what we have. Any ideas on how to record dialogue for the scene? Will a neck mic work and not pick up too much of the barking? Any tricks to help with that?

My mother in law decided to set up the hexes and die rolls upsidedown and place everyones first settlement and road while the hexes are upside down. Then flip over the hexes and and die rolls to place the second settlement and road. Has anyone ever done that? And what do You guys think?

I'm Sam, 23, fairly new both to film and to Spokane WA. I'd like to meet creative people in the area who are interested in film to maybe brainstorm some ideas with and go shoot something cool together! Mainly just to practice the craft, gain experience, network and make friends :)
