    I Love/Hate "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

    Looks like a joke to me. The CGI is terrible, and why even use CGI? Dressing people up as the apes worked perfectly in both previous films of the same name. The story doesn't even correlate with the original. I'm not excited about this at all, I'm just going to laugh bitterly at the people who...

    Gas masks are cool

    ^ Why does that mask have breasts that look like a stormtrooper's? Was that Doctor Who 'The Empty Child'? That episode gave me nightmares.

    archived-videos Possible Post-Apocalyptic Web Series?

    I had a listen to Josh's reverbnation yesterday actually, it would be a pleasure to do collaborative music. I realise everything is a bit hectic at the moment with figuring out what's happening in the initial stages, but just get in touch when the decisions have been made.

    sound On the degredation of independent film score composers.

    Thanks. I have several good projects behind me now and I realise I'm going to have to work really hard. And by deadlines I mean stupid deadlines- two of the films I did recently were for people at my university, and they left their own work so close to the submission deadlines that it only gave...

    Emma Watson

    Some very important people must have noticed how unnoticeable it was a while back, hence Kiera Knightley's role as Queen Amidala's double in the Phantom Menace.

    sound On the degredation of independent film score composers.

    There must be a better way to do this. These positions are so competitive that a filmmaker can be presented with a whole crowd of composers just by saying 'I am making a film', without them knowing anything about the project, the quality of the work, or the reliability of the person in charge...

    Thank you very much, I owe that to the strength of the film, I pretty much new what I had to do straight away. I'm glad you're happy with it. I was worried that I might come up with something a little forced due to time restraints and other coursework taking priority, but like I said...

    Loved it. Watched it just now with my girlfriend and she really enjoyed it too. I was pleasantly shocked by the quality- I wrote the music to a tiny little video display and seeing it as high definition was great. It's really good work. :) The attention to detail is great, the acting class...

    Why are zombie films still so popular?

    Because people seem to love violence, and making a zombie film gives you an endless supply of human bodies to blow up, shoot in the face, tear apart and splatter everywhere.

    Composer here. (with enthusiasm)

    I thought it would be sensible to update my thread here, as I have been working a lot on new material for my portfolio over the last month. So firstly, I wrote scores for two of the students in Film Studies at my university. Lonely Ghost Trailer Katapa And I've just finished material for two...

    Zombie Script Help

    Only have one or two protagonists. Zombie film directors seem to relish the idea of having lots of characters so they can think of loads of ways to kill them off and show as much blood as possible. My second suggestion- no weak and underdressed female characters with big boobs and small brains...

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    The 13th Pokemon film, Zoroark: Master of Illusions 7/10, the animation gets better every time, and it made a very good job of a story that could easily end up being a bit hackneyed. It didn't really get me as emotionally attached as some of the older ones did but it was still miles better...

    Zombie Film Locations

    It's not the worst place to be, Maine is Stephen King territory. Most of the books are set there, including the couple I remember actually being about zombies (Or equivalents of) Are there any corn fields around? You should do some scenes in one, they scare me to death. 'Abandoned railways in...

    Very nice, I really enjoyed it. Great story, I really got into it. It needs a score though, I'm assuming you used royalty free music? It lacks consistency a little and doesn't really suit what's on screen.

    archived-videos Argon Alley short thriller/suspense - need your feedback

    There isn't really that much you can do with the sound at this point, but I think if you boosted the lower frequencies a bit then it would help a lot- all of the rain, talking and echo from the alley are bunched together in the treble frequency and it's quite difficult to distinguish between...
