Ha! I had no idea what you guys were talking about until I looked it up. Can't believe I've never heard of this before!

I'll recommend MoviePoet.com as a tremendous resource and community to hone your screenplay writing skills. They have monthly themed short script challenges - If you are serious about getting started with screenwriting, and want to learn how to craft a story, that's a monthly challenge for you...

I do recommend the T3i simply for the pivoting screen. It may not sound like a big deal, but it ABSOLUTELY IS. I started with the T2i and upgraded and boy am I glad I did. Both are fantastic cameras though, equal in power. And if you are going to be using an external monitor the flipout screen...

Hey Yodaman! On the T3i there is the "Grid Display" option in the menu settings. You can choose one of two grids that will appear on your LCD display to help you frame your shots. I'm not exactly sure which aspect ratios the grids are framed for, but I always use Grid 2 because it seems to be...

Hmm, I think I understand what you're saying, which is why I would be a terrible critic/reviewer for the masses. The ideal viewing experience for me is when I know nothing about the film prior to watching it. That doesn't mean I never develop context by reading reviews, watching interviews...

Never heard of Tales from the Script - Looks awesome! My brutally honest most recent watches: The Imposter (9/10) Disney's Teen Beach Movie (4/10) The Grey (7/10) Elysium (6/10) Turbo (7/10) A Place Beyond the Pines (8/10) The Wolverine (5/10) Rating films is hard! I feel like any of...

Wow, Olive looks pretty cool! Can't believe what they did with a cell phone. Sounds like they fitted lenses to the phone for DOF. Nice. As for the projector test, I will see what I can do, but let me offer a suggestion: Many public libraries lend or rent out their HD projectors. Whenever my...

That's a good point. Even though I'm really proud of what we've put together with limited resources (We shot it for a minuscule budget on an entry level DSLR, the T3i), I doubt it would be the kind of movie that would draw interest from big distributors. What we would love to do is gain as...

Thanks rayw! And also thanks for the youtube comment - I replied to you on YT, but I'll reply here in a little greater detail... We're in a small East Texas town and the kids are all from the community. My wife and I direct a summer filmmaking program through the local Career Center. This is...

Thanks! I'm sharing most of the progress of the film over in the Narrative forum... That thread is here: http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=49848 Here's the trailer for the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJDHybWF1UM Thanks again!

Congrats and hope the film turns out great - Can't wait to see it! :)

From town to town, I'm sure these matters are handled by different entities and organizations. Our town is very small, only about 1100 people, and the Service Club is a local organization that meets each month and maintains a number of properties around town including recreational facilities...

And the final few wallpapers: Thanks! -Matt

Here's more of the desktop wallpapers: Thanks guys! Will keep you posted. -Matt
