Part of the fun of mastering a craft, be it writing or playing the piano, is to master the techniques, be it learning grammar in writing or reading learning to read music.

It will happen again, but not in the context you and everyone else are thinking. OK, $2,500.00 is nothing, so let's do it - does it have to be in LA and what's your time frame? I will add scenes with Enemy General, because I just want to read some lines as him and as the other side -then the...

Rik, I would like to avoid mission creep if possible - yes, I should go further, but i would just like to do the afore-mentioned simple stuff first. I can provide the scenes with the Creator and so on which have several characters speaking. I don't want to be an actor, and I think I would like...

Can't we just talk about it?

@directorik, please check your email, thanks.

Have you sent an email? Let's set up the communications and proceed. If you're too busy, I will understand, though you have been offering for 15 years to be part of it. Anyone else wants to join in, please send me a private message.

Welcome, and perhaps you should try to improve on your writing (note the spelling) and spelling.

@directorik, OK, I'm not price sensitive - if it's $2,500.00 - $7,500.00, let's do it. We'll start with Leisure Man and, if feasible, do some scenes with the Creator and Enemy General. I will email you, and, please, reply. @indietalk, I know most of you are on my side, except for the...

@sfoster, I've never shot a frame of film. @CelticRambler, I have written odds and ends, and I concede I'm not an efficient worker, despite my achievements in getting three degrees and building a law firm. I don't have a complete screenplay, but I would like to film some odds and ends, to see...

You're sadly mistaken - my reputation is NOT at risk, because I have a reputation of saying I'll do it and then not doing it. If I was to shoot the videos, then my reputation would be tarnished beyond repair.

OK, here's what I have in mind for Leisure Man. First scene. This is (wait for it) after the First Interstellar War. He's at a dining table, with a plate of eggs and sausages, and a cup of coffee. A small bowl of fruit is also on the side. A soldier, one of the protagonists, being the Marine...

@directorik did give quotes - please scroll up. Rik, looking at what Leisure Man is going to say, that would take 30 minutes, max. I understand a professional shoot can take several hours for that, but I don't know.

If you scroll up, you'll see my thoughts on Leisure Man, who is eating breakfast and talking - you can therefore see that I'm making progress. Before, I was talking about people talking; now, I'm talking about people eating and talking. Are you impressed? 😆

@directorik, I should apologize, not you, because I'm confusing the two. I'm thinking of short scenes with little or no props - like the improvs at the theatre that would be filmed. I understand an actor would be $150 - $250 per day. What about a crew to shoot, say, two or three actors...

@directorik, please send me a private message. I'm talking not just an assistant, but the crew to hold the camera, and so on. How much would that be?

OK, we can use more than one actor - again, @directorik, I don't know so I ask. But, if each actor was to play one character, his role would not take long, so I don't want to underpay anyone. $150 - $250 per actor per day? What about the crew?

Some other things. The scenes with the Creator will involve two captains - one is a ship's captain, and the other is a Marine battalion commander. These characters will be leading distinct lives, which will give me flexibility, and which would ensure no William Shatner can claim all the...

Hello everyone, First, the good news - some of my students have passed their bar exams and will be staying on as lawyers in my firm, even as the next group of students take their place. I have at least one more goal in Canada, for which I've got no results despite years of trying, and I've...

HDTV is an advanced version of black and white TV's.

That's depressing, but I don't buy the argument that film making is gone - you can't draw a line and presume the logical conclusion is inevitable, because reality is more complex than that. Cinemas didn't go away when TV came about, and TV didn't go away when VCR's came about. In fact, paid...
