    editing matching a look

    We did something (somewhat) similar in my movie Detours (shameless plug: watch it on Tubi or Amazon Freevee ) and simply recorded it, then played it through the TV. Granted it was only one scene but it worked fine. Attached is a screen grab of one scene, which may (or may not) be similar to...

    blog My writing.

    Here's a good article about the different ways that the "fish out of water" concept is used in movies. Fish out of water movies I can pretty much guarantee that the people he's trying to educate would be exasperated :) 'cause no one likes to be lectured by a know it all, even when that person...

    With the disclaimer that I'm TERRIBLE at trailers, a few thoughts. The images are great - really. I do think it would benefit from trying to tell a bit more of the story, perhaps a little bit more lighter stuff at the beginning (kids on monkey bars are great) building toward tenser moments...

    screenplay How do you keep motivation up?

    I hear you. You might consider writing & producing a (very) short, simple screenplay yourself. Maybe 5 (maximum 10 minutes), 2 or 3 characters, and a location or 2 that you have easy access to. I've found it helpful to at least have something that I can look at and share with the world. YRMV :)

    Nice! One thing I've used in several wedding scenes is Pachelbel's Canon in D Major, which my husband calls the "song that plays right before the bride walks down the aisle." It only works if you have friends who are musicians and willing to record themselves in exchange for a credit but it...
