Hot damn! Was I actually useful? :)

Maybe this has been mentioned (I've a bad habbit of not trudging through whole threads) But perhaps this is your trouble? http://cinemoose.com/plot-vs-story/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrkHyvl5NeI

see the above.

Sorry - before I read that - I'm not clear on if you're saying you've read the synopsis and the spoiler is your summary of it, or if you haven't read it and the spoiler is your guess? also: agreed. Highlight of 2012, almost gauranteed. The only thing that might topple it for me is if Paul...

good way to put it.

I think directorik's philosophy has a lot to do with why he's a "film making guru" and we're all just members. That's not to say that people that share his philosophy aren't members too - but "it's no secret that ambition bites the nails of success." There's a saying "No work of art is...

Yeah, I know. Damn curiosity. I heard a while back that Ridley Scott was shooting a "beginning of time" sequence for an Alien prequel and that was really all I needed. After reading those first few posts and watching the trailer once or twice or six times I've got this idea in my head: I'm...

Oh, I've no problem with auto-renewing. My ISP used to auto-renew. One month I didn't have the cash for it so they shut it off. If I want it turned back on they will charge me a re-activation fee. That is reasonable to me. But eh - I fucked up. My fault. I told the story more because it led to...

This is sort of a bump just to make sure everyone that wants to ignore it from the front page can, but I also forgot to mention that I'm also interested in exploring the differences between the way different countries handle these things. Anyway, thanks for reading if you did. :)

really REALLY wish I didn't read those first few posts. :/ thanks. Thanks a lot.

I guess I'm mostly a writer these days but I still compose some times: 1. Whole Wheat or some form of Wheat bread with nuts and other tasty organic shit. 2. Spread a moderate layer of REAL mayo on one piece of bread. 3. slice Avocado* into roughly quarter inch/10mm slices. 4. place Avo on...

no no no no.. I'm saying that if you are not part of the audience that you are producing a product for than it's a bad idea to pander to that audience. hmm - it just occurred to me that perhaps a better reply to this thread might have been a single word. "Baraka"

Right.. I covered a Nick Cave song a while back, thinking it might be good for promotion to do a song people might actually search for. (I know, and I choose a pretty esoteric artist) I looked into licensing a bit, and as I recall the price changed depending on how many people would be exposed...

Do both. Write a story about an artist who sees a warped vision of reality - and can't seem to convey his perceptions. start the film as pure narrative then devolve into imagery based storytelling. Wether he finally conveys his images and the effect of that is up to you. If you make your...

As I skim back over this - I'm realizing the structure is pretty good. It starts with the smallest and most human topic and progresses rather naturally in subject to the biggest most tech related. ..hmm. o.o
