    I really liked it! The production felt a bit like Doctor Who or Torchwood. Sound and music fitted in well, too.

    Free Ideas Thread

    It's been fashionable recently to make films about little bits of political history that aren't really well known but have interesting and moving stories. However, filmmakers only pick out patriotic and heartwarming stories, when there are some much more interesting and moving ideas that lie in...

    Dark Knight Rises - Preperation

    The only film I liked enough to go and see twice was Hot Fuzz. I'm usually quite apprehensive about going to the cinema for just the first showing- it's so expensive, that if the film isn't amazing I just sit there regretting it for 2 hours and can't enjoy it. I was going to go and see Silent...

    Well, it gave me a lot to think about. It's something I've always wondered- why is America held in such regard by many Japanese people, and why do so many people move from Japan to live in America? The atomic bombs are one of the most terrible and evil things in the whole of history- motivated...

    Are DVD's making a comeback?

    I buy DVDs. If there's a film that I love so much that I want to see every tiny wrinkle on the actors' faces, then I'll download the high definition one too, and I have an external drive where I keep all that stuff. PS2 had flawless graphics until the PS3 came out and the comparison made...

    The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel- 10/10 Best film I've seen in a really really long time. The story was really moving, with some of the best actors in existence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDY89LYxK0w One of the main reasons we watched it is because it's set in Jaipur, which is my...

    archived-videos Edge Hill University - Commercial

    It's way better than the Liverpool Hope one! I was in university practicing, and got asked to come and play some piano for a film crew- I went mainly because it was a rare chance to play the steinway model D in the theatre. The director turned up an hour late, then asked me why my shirt was...

    top-list Moveimaker 2012 Top 10 Cities for Filmmakers to live.

    What about Mumbai, Lagos, Shanghai? American mainstream cinema is a big money making machine that churns out the same films every day, not because they're good, but because they're proven to make a profit, and everyone is convinced that they're the best thing ever. Bollywood is already bigger...

    How did Avatar make so much money?

    When I went to see Avatar you had to see it in 3D and the 3D tickets cost about 3 quid more. That must account for a good amount of the extra revenue.

    sound Composing - For a Living

    From my perspective, what you have written sounds amazing- it would be my dream to have such a huge challenge and to work so hard to create beautiful art! But that's not what producers and audiences want- it would be a challenge to write a new and original piece of music every day, but the...

    Why a lot of movies suck...

    It's always been obvious that this is the case. After all, he is a businessman. It looks like the best way to make money is in small installments with as little investment as possible- why make amazing films when it will jeopardise the system? It's a bit pathetic to make an announcement like...

    British scientists building a super laser to tear apart the fabric of space

    I saw a brilliant news report on the BBC the other day that said 'I'm not sure if anyone really cares about the situation in Greece, but at least we have the money to stop it spreading to the countries around them.'
