One thing you want to look at is, as the others have all said, stop focusing on making it seem boring. When was the last time you paid money to go sit 1.5-2 hours for a boring movie? Add something in that makes someone want to watch it based on one to three sentences. If you just say "One day a...

i liked it quite a bit, the only suggestion i would make is don't superimpose that you're the one who made it. first off, you don't want to seem vain if this is your first time and second it will draw away from the feel you get when it's first turned on. those are just my thoughts, but i liked...

EXT. - STREET - NIGHT PAN up and down street. SHOT to drivers face. etc.

iight, i reread it and it looks pretty good now. i would watch it more than once and that's what you want to happen when you write something that you plan to film. good job man. -A.P

Alright, I am by no means an expert on anything, but equipment isn't going to be the problem. Check out the book How To Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck by Steve Stockman. It gives you everything you need to shoot anything with any equipment, no matter if it's HD or SD. it's like $15 but it's worth...

V.O. are never horrible, take Scrubs for example. about half the show is V.O.

well it's not that hard if you stick to the 'vintage' method of pen and paper. when you finish a script, type it up, date the paper version and send it to a lock-box in a bank or give it to a lawyer or some other official to hold in case someone does steal it. essentially date it and give it to...

I like it overall, but I think at the end it needs a tie-in to something that happened. I get that the hat thing kinda does, but it seemed to me like if you shot it and I watched it, it would be like a movie that ended too soon. You should make another reference to greed or something. maybe...

when I get down to writing out my story, I don't start by having a set storyline. I go into the backround of my idea. start off with a "what if?" then go into the background of that What If. for example, if you wanted to do "what if the world was taken over by an extremist group?" instead of...

hey man, it wasn't so much contact as know your username so i can see what else you type. i saw your post with the link to your video channel on youtube and i saw Overrun, then forgot your username on here. ha i'm not a creeper i swear, just interested in what you post.

in terms of writing and spacing, I highly recommend a writing program called Celtx. I heard of it from rayw and decided to give it a try and I love it. the only downside is you can't directly see how many pages you are at, but then if you're focused on a writing limit, it'll take away from your...

what i did to start my writing was i picked a topic that i'm obsessed with (post-spocalypse) and just started writing about what happened to make it like that. then i accidently wrote about a group of people, so i wrote about the people, then i just expanded and now i literally have a world on...

Anybody have any tips, techs, or anything useful to make a flashback? nothing fancy, and i know some common methods are greyscale and blur the edges, but i don't want a cliche. anybody?

oh, iight. well it said delete so i thought my observational skills were failing. sorry to bother.
