    Canon XL2 - crosshairs

    Nope. No crosshairs in the XL series. You'll need to improvise. :)

    I was picturing family drama. But there are so many potential viewpoints: Those behind the lottery (behind the scenes leading up to the broadcast) Corruption within the lottery The potential recipients and their family drama (where my segment was leaning, focusing on one dysfunctional family)...

    So tell me, where are these "tens of thousands" of organ donors coming from? Genocide? Now there's a dark theme.

    The segment taking shape in my mind is most definitely drama. I'd recommend we stick with a serious tone since it's life and death we're dealing with. Although we need to assign at least one unit as the recipient of the "prize" in order to move the story to its climax.

    The Samurai- A Very Short Screenplay

    Please, let's not get into a debate about gun control. Gun control won't stop criminals from getting them (especially given the weak southern border at the moment). And in a home invasion scenario, moreso in rural areas, by the time the police showed up you'd be dead. I will protect myself...

    Risposte. Ring any bells? It was awhile ago. :) Okay, settled. I'll write it, you shoot it. :D Just send me a list of your assets (actors, props, etc.) and available locations. If you already have an idea of what you want to do, shoot me a PM with details.

    Science in Cinema

    Interesting article. But the cloning aspect of the story is still, in my mind, Science Fiction despite the real opportunity for mining.

    I can write your segment if you'd like. We can collaborate based on what resources you have available. Because I'm in the opposite situation. I doubt I'll have time and willing resources to film anything (at least not anything worth a crap). And you used to write. What happened? I still...

    The Samurai- A Very Short Screenplay

    This is the only version I was able to download, and I have to say it was cute. I didn't feel a heightened sense that your protagonist was in any danger, though. I mean, if the Samurai really meant to do him harm, would he really just calmly ring the doorbell? Interesting regionally inspired...

    Shotgun Microphones.

    My Canon XL1s has a detachable stereo directional microphone. Looks like a mini shotgun. I could easily mount a different shotgun mic on it with XLR if I wanted to.

    I'm getting a timeout when trying to view the script. Site problems?

    Dreams on Spec - screenwriting doc

    You're right. Both disheartening and inspirational. This should be a sticky at the top of the screenwriting section. Thanks for sharing the link.

    Yeah, not much thought went into it. I just sat down and threw something out at random. Only spent a couple of minutes on it, and the whole "planet" thing was spur of the moment. I had no idea it would make it into a poll. It was meant to spark debate and perpetuate brainstorming.

    BLU RAY burning

    Don't get plasma. LCD or LED. LED has superior contrast ratio and uniform luminance.

    How about: "A debilitating flesh eating infection threatens to destroy the last remnants of the human race as people all over the globe struggle to survive and regain control of the planet."

    Name That Screengrab

    No! That was the perfect clue! :D Took a little research in IMDB because I hadn't seen it, but "last decade", "Sean Penn" and "Italy" only added up to one movie.

    Name That Screengrab

    Well, that was a dead giveaway. Everyone knows Spicolli, and that's Sean Penn. :) Movie is Up in the Villa. And I was right. I haven't seen it. But I have seen Gamer.
