I think from the comments previously made the act of "showing rather than telling" can be applied to your comments. I feel that if I remove the dialouge all togther until they reach the house, the fact that they have suitcases and belongings in the car signals that they are moving? What do you...

I have revised the text, keeping in consideration your recommendations Many thanks for taking the time to read the first time. If you get chance to review the new version I would be most grateful If anyone else has any thoughts on how this could improve I would be most interested to hear them.

These are some good pointers, thank you

Hi all I havent been around here for a while, I am currently working on a short film script titled "Echo Lake" to run at around 25 minutes to half an hour. This is a rough first draft and I would appreciate any feedback you could give, constructive criticism is what I need now and I hope you...

I liked the imagery, the first thought I had at the end of reading it was that this would make a great ad for levis, or budweiser, or marlboro :weird:

link removed, working on the script , will post again soon

This was really good, excellent example of a small budget script filmed accordingly, knew what you could accomplish and did that really well rather than over-reaching and falling short Good stuff, well done

I took a look at the trailer, its just too dark, I cant see anything that is happening at all, did you use any lighting or natural light to film these scenes? Also, the quality of the video looks really poor, what camera did you use? I like the sound of the idea, but all i got from the trailer...

Really good, I liked it, some excellent disembodied floating camera-work, good lighting, good acting nice one, would like to see more of your stuff

I hope you realise the irony of posting asking for ideas for you to use to come with something original of your own?? A lot people shoot without scripts, just brief outlines of characters and improvise from there, I think Lars Von Trier and the Dogme 95 movement sometimes did that as part of...

I like your idea, but can i ask what your budget is? If your budget is small or nothing, you seriously need to reign this in because you are not going to be able to make the film you have here for very little money. The last quarter of the film would require some serious CGI/model work. Some...

I have to be honest, it looks nice, but I have no idea what the story is about from that trailer. It looks pretty cliched to me from that trailer, all gangster posturing and guns Also, I have to say, how can you call the movie no-budget when you filmed it with a sony ex1? That in itself is a...

I used a Canon Powershot A470 to film, and windows moviemaker to edit

This was enjoyable to an extent, but could (in my opinion) have been better edited i.e. a bit snappier as i felt some of the shots were a bit longer than required. The acting was overall good though, but i feel some of the camera angles were a bit so so, in that they didnt really add anything to...
