At the suggestion of a friend I switched my feature screenplay to a series and changed the direction. Wanted to see how this sounds to you guys as a series and any other feedback you would be so kind as to share. SHIFT OF POWERS Watch the rise of Lonny Powers, a revolutionary fighter who...

Have not read it, but that is a great theme to play off of. I am writing something completely on the other side of you, but the Parent/child thematic is very much on par with yours. My only suggestion is to work on the log-line. What you told us after is so much more interesting. Can you...

:lol::lol::lol::lol: I actually thought that was pretty darn good.

Not gonna' lie, this is pretty lonely lol. But, I'm glad someone in here goes crazy on Halloween as well. I've dressed up as ultimate warrior, ballerina, and all sorts of things. Actually, I stopped dressing up for Halloween once I started writing feature scripts. The time I took to make...

I don't even know why I'm doing this to myself... But I dressed up as AKUMA from that SAME franchise :lol: This was 2011 I think, a much younger me. I uploaded it to a few sites on the net, so just going to link that instead of my FB. A few people asked me that year if I was WILMA from the...

Also, maybe it would help if you mention some films you are into. Someone here might have the greatest script, but if its something that does not interest you, and you just do it to do it, it will hurt the project. What do you enjoy? What do you gravitate towards? Give examples. And, this...

There you go, you are petty advanced so I'm sure you'll get it. It does look like it's at night, but regardless the point is the area that starts out dark with the sign, was lit in the original filming or original picture. And correct I would mask a second channel around the building shape of...

So assuming thats a real hotel, that bit was probably filmed either in day time or at night but, if filmed at night then the part where the NEON sign appears was not dark while filmed- THAT'S where the magic happens. They darkened that part in post, that way when the signs turned on they could...

I have to add another one... Try to minimize outside shots at this level. Shooting outside brings a whole new set of problems, like sound, weather, lighting, and crowd control.

Really cool. It looks and sounds good, I just peeped the trailer, not the full movie, it all looks really cool specially for a first film. Congrats.

Dude I really just don't want to make that mistake again. Having cops point guns at you in THESE times is not the thing to do. At the precinct at the initial detective part or whatever, they informed me that the building I was filming in is a known drug building where trespassing is a felony...

Man.... So many. All great points being brought up. But, I'll have to cosign with the PEOPLE answer. The schedule will always fail you, but it is so much better to encounter that problem with people that have the same, or similar goals and passion as you, than with people that are there for...

I don't know if this is what they did, but some of those scenes can be done with a drone. In that case you would simply pull into, or pull out of whatever scene over some slow steady flight path and then just speed up the middle portion to simulate a zoom. Sounds right. A lot of that on...

The weirdest thing is, that I don't want to be cured.

I start a new gig Wednesday and dreading it. It's not the work that kills me however, I remember why i left my last job... And I'm sure this happens to all of us, but I have a lower tolerance for this... Being at one place, wishing you were in another... I had a real good job, traveled the...
