    sales-options Best way to sell a script?

    There are some suggestions here that you should "Find an agent". That's a great idea. However after selling a script, it might be the next hardest thing to do in Hollywood. Agents just don't sign any joker that cold calls them. On the topic of cold calls, that's another strategy some are good...

    I don't think I got the story. But I like the camera work and location.

    VFX on Hunger Games

    I don't agree. People absolutely burn in real life. Put gasoline on someone and strike a match. They burn. And as i recall, didn't Lenny Kravitz say the suit would catch fire but not hurt you? I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be real fire. It's just a minor thing, it's just they built it up...

    Thinking about turning down studio distribution deal...

    He's ballsy and passionate. He sounds like a guy who'll get off the mat and might make us all eat crow. He seems to have a motor. I wouldn't count him out. Standing Eight Count only. The only question is can he rally off the ropes? And I don't think he needs to worry about this thread...

    VFX on Hunger Games

    Yeah, I thought the film was powerful and the lead gal and most (not all) of the cast rocked, but the photography was nothing special and neither were the action sequences. And come to think of it, those digital dogs weren't that well done and were not scary. Odd. These are the things that big...

    VFX on Hunger Games

    I'm a HG fanboy. Dug it. But that flaming suit, that wasn't that great right? I feel like it was something you'd see posted here with a thread title like "Hey guys! Check my first attempt at fake fire in AE!!!"

    GH2 - lens adapter question, and Manual f-stop focus?

    You can even use a lens without aperture control, you'd need a matte box, or Cokin, or some ND's.

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

    I'm a board certified "Twilight" hater. The whole franchise IMO is garbage. Especially the baseball scene. But I'm vouching big time for "Hunger Games". I didn't think the action sequences were anything special at all. But, rich characters and compelling story trump all. And Jennifer Lawrence...

    See you at Cannes o/

    As some of you know, I have some close connections with some incredibly highly placed people in town. The taste makers if you will. And this is precisely the scuttlebutt going around on the cocktail circuit I frequent. Btw, is there a trailer to link us to?

    Got my FD 17mm f4... meh..

    I think it looks good. My FD's somehow look a little less contrasty. What's the market rate for them on ebay?

    Super 16mm or Red Epic???

    Nope. At least not according to reports from the trades. Digital hit the 51% about a year ago. According to the trades. And it has nothing to do with Kodak's financial problems.

    Welcome! I too lived in the Philippines. I also studied some film there at Bigfoot.

    Super 16mm or Red Epic???

    16mm will give you, whether you like it or not, beautiful grain. Epic won't. You can add grain in post. The issue is does fake grain look as nice as real grain? I'll leave that one for the Gods. 16mm also won't give you as shallow DOF as an Epic. 16mm might give a little more DR too.

    F bubble wrap mailers.

    Sounds like more Indietalk pie in the sky wishful thinking.

    F bubble wrap mailers.

    No, I prefer shiny ones. Perhaps you should make that suggestion in the Fishtalk forum.

    Let's analyze John Carter

    I didn't know Tracy Lords was in it. Hope it's on Netflix. I'm a big fan and have seen all her movies.

    F bubble wrap mailers.

    Bubble wrap is also not ecological. People are nuts about that. I think I'm going to stay with paper. Printed labels would be nice -- but I thought that Harvard research team proved it's impossible to print mailing labels and envelopes on desktop printers. Has there been a breakthrough?
