    hollywood That'll get you fired!!

    I'm guessing we might be getting into the realm of playing on words, but here it goes anyway. To change the world you need a plan. For that plan to have a chance to work, you need to see the world the way it is. Then you come up with how you envision how you'd like the world to be and make a...

    hollywood That'll get you fired!!

    You don't know what you don't know. You can't predict the future, but can you realistically feign ignorance when history was staring you in the face? Perhaps this kind of thinking causes the exact issue we were trying to avoid in the first place. Who knows? Do you feel you (and others) have a...

    hollywood That'll get you fired!!

    Here's another point of view question. Lets say the person who is going to get you the best return on your investment is the one that is a political hot potato. Who do you go with? There's a decent chance this person will give you better returns, but there's also a risk of ruin as they may...

    Looking for a film director based on my novel idea.

    Most seem to be asking the wrong question. What I want to know: What are your novel sales? How many books have you sold?

    pre-production How to Choose an Affordable No-Budget Project?

    I'm going to suggest spending a few bucks and grab yourself a subscription to the Film Specific website and dig in. I have nothing to do with it in case you're wondering. It'll help you gain more clarity on the film finance/film distribution topic. It'll help you work out whether you should...

    copyright So a major studio admitted to stealing my script...

    The harsh reality of it is you've made at least one error. In life, you're going to make lots of errors. Once you're aware, you can learn from them. How you move forward and whether you continue to make those errors is for you to decide. Whether you self destruct or smartly soldier on is...

    software Need alternate video editing tool

    It doesn't really work like that out of the box. You have to put in some real effort for your data to get uploaded. If memory serves me correct, you need to be connected every 30 or so days. It's a problem for air gapped systems, but if you're using Premiere Elements, there's no way you have...

    camera-gear What is camera do I use for a short

    I'm not a camera guy, but one piece of advice I can give you. A camera you have is better than any camera you don't have. Focus on telling the story. If I were you, I'd shoot with your Nikon and focus the rest of your efforts into getting your audio right before you worry further on the...

    pre-production How true is this?

    > I asked a production manager on how best to go about making my film and if I need to make a short first and he said NO. You don't have to make shorts first, but the issue you're going to run into it: You don't know what you don't know. You won't have the experience to draw upon to know if...

    pre-production Fundraising Question

    The best thing to do is empty your pockets and use your own money. Poor AF? Do the Robert Rodriguez. Rent your body for scientific research. It seems to be an efficient thing to do. He did it and look at him now. He owns his own network these days. What's the worst that can go wrong? I'm sure...

    suggestion What do you want to see?

    Adding to the stock video/stuff idea. There used to be a deal at Videoblocks & audioblocks where you could get one of those all you could eat deals for $99/year. They've changed to storyblocks but I think they upped the price. Put something together and sell access for something like $40/year...

    suggestion What do you want to see?

    I like the idea. I wouldn't use it myself (I built up a decent sound effect / music library already.

    suggestion What do you want to see?

    What about extending the idea. There's a marketplace for people buying stock footage/music/sfx/vfx. What about selling stock footage provided by the indietalk community... with a split of the profits of course.

    marketing Feedback of short trailer and distribution advises

    People don't care whether it's a run and gun or not. You can have shakey camera work and people may consider it a stylistic choice. If you have crappy sound, you come across as amateur or incompetent. Dodgy audio is dodgy. It makes the audience work considerably harder to watch your show. You...
