Would depend on the content of your project. I associate the word filmmaker with a more handmade, personal, auteur type of film, and the term movie maker with a more corporate Hollywood type of comercial entertainment product.

it's going to be a site on the net for film or movie makers to discuss and showcase new projects

probably have sections from soup to nuts about making a short or film plus all types of video stuff - commercials - music etc

sections for producers/directors/writers/talent/music/voice/fx etc

so basically it sould appeal to all the new people getting in on making content

be it for the net, film, tv, cable, whatever

i've got both names in new domain names, but don't know which one I want to use yet

so I got both

the sites will be either FilmMaker*** or MovieMaker***

some articles a forum some suggested books and videos maybe links to schools

a one stop spot for all the stuff people need for doing video or film projects

Depends what you are aiming for. Remember that most dyed in the wool film users detest the thought of calling anything shot on video a "FILM".

Film is moving to digital, soon studios will be uploading digital right to theatres while they last

Film will eventually end up studio to home via internet

I picked Film Maker Net for now

Anyone want to add stuff we should have feel free

www.FilmMakerNet.com

Forum should be up today

Then some articles

Probably a classified script

Definitely a showcase for anyone doing stuff on the net

Gee, I always thought that George Eastman was a film maker. And that the world is now replete with movie makers, whether shot on film or any of the many video media.

Eastman/Kodak went digital?

Film is dead

Not according to the Kodak Cinematography page. Sure looks like film is alive and kicking to me.

You're both right. Kodak bailed from still cameras using film, but for Moving Pictures...

Just got the free DVD in the mail. Well worth watching as well as learning good editing techniques from.

Yep, digital camera's killed Kodaks 100 year old cash cow 35mm film for photography, just like the old MTV song said VIDEO KILLED....

Digital killed camera film

Digital theatres are the death knell for Film as well

The next generation of Indie Film projects will be done with digital cameras, and they will be able to go right to digital theatres without 50K composites and 3K copies, much of the cost in Indie projects is the film.

Also with digital you can go right to the Net.

As more digital projects start to make money on the Net and DVD and eventually Digital Studios then film will be chosen over digital less and less

Digital will eventually overtake film, just like it over took camera's and just like DVD over took VHS

TAPE/FILM or old media is dead, the new Digital Age has begun

Adoni leading the new Digital Age, it's been our slug for years, about time the rest of the world is catching up
